From: Charcloth

back in the 70's there was a Gospel number recorded by a female singer called "Growing in Jesus" part of the lyrics were

It takes a lot of growing for a tree to reach the sky
It takes alot of rain to help it grow
It takes alot of running for a child to catch the wind
It takes a lot of walking to learn to run
And I'm growing in jesus getting stronger each & every day & in every way
Cause Jesus is growing in me...

does any one remember who it was that sang it & if the recording is still available? Thanks Charcloth

can't remember the one who sang the song in the 70s, but when I was a kid in 80s that was sang by the Heritage Singers, volume five of their Silver Anniversary Collection (SAC). See this site: http://www.heritagesingers.com/Silver.html

The second stanza of that song is ...

Many times i felt discouraged, when the rain got in my way.
I didn't know that it could make me grow.
And everytime i run ahead, i always miss the turn
I end up walking back to what i've learned.

And i'm growing in Jesus ...

Go to

http://www.one-way.org

and email the webmasters. They have many resources for purchasing "Jesus Music" from that era, of which, the music of Ms. Owens-Collins was very popular.

Best of luck in your search.

Please, someone could tell me the name of a group that sings
the song "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (Don Wyrtzen).
The lyrics of this hymn is below.
It seems to me that the recording of this group is the late 1970s or early 1980. If anyone knows the name, send me by my e-mail: marcelo791@itelefonica.com.br
For now, thank you.



Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (Jack Wyrtzen and Don Wyrtzen) (lyrics)


Yesterday He died for me, yesterday, yesterday
Yesterday, He died for me, yesterday
Yesterday He died for me, died for me
This is history

Today He lives for me, today, today
Today He lives for me, today
Today He lives for me, lives for me
This is victory

Tomorrow He comes for me, He comes, He comes
Tomorrow He comes for me, He comes
Tomorrow He comes for me, comes for me
This is mystery

O friend do you know Him, know Him, know Him
O friend do you know Him, know Him
O friend do you know Him, do you know Him
Jesus Christ the Lord, Jesus Christ the Lord
Jesus Christ the Lord

I'm going to play this song and post it in YouTube with the Lyrics. This is a song I have grown up with hearing from my Dad's Heritage Singers collection.

I noticed that this thread or posting regarding this song, "Growing In Jesus" is only found in here, and nowhere else. I tried Yahoo search, none. Only Google has this search yield.

Yes, thank you for this thread or blog.

Many times I've been discouraged
When the rain got in my way
I didn't know that it would help me grow
And every time I ran ahead
I'd always miss a turn
And end up walking backway
But I've learned

It takes a lot of growin'
for a tree to reach the sky
It takes a lot of rain
to help it grow
It takes a lot of runnin'
for a child to catch the wind
It takes a lot of walkin' to learn to run

And I'm growing in Jesus getting
Stronger each and everyday in everyway
'Cause Jesus is growing in me

Many times I feel discouraged
when the rain gets in my way
I didn't know that it would help me grow
And everytime I run ahead
I'd always miss the turn
And end up walkin' back with
what I'd learned
