Chimesfreedom has previously noted that country singer-songwriter Marty Brown‘s talent seems to run in his family. Brown’s son Marty Brown Jr. has recorded some songs with his father, and recently the proud father posted some videos of a performance by the Marty Brown Jr. Praise Band.
While the video is of a live performance, with the usual sound problems that live performances can have, Marty Jr. and his band do an excellent job on the classic hymn. Check it out and listen to that voice.
The lyrics to “Jesus Paid It All” were written a long time ago by Elvina Hall (1822-1889), a member of the Monument Street Methodist Church in Baltimore, Maryland. Hall was sitting in the choir loft at church bored during services when she came up with the words for “Jesus Paid It All.” With no paper, she began writing down the lyrics on the pages of a hymn book. Subsequently a pastor at the church came up with idea to combine Hall’s lyrics with music written by choir director John T. Grape for a song called “All to Christ I Owe.” It was a great combination.
Speaking of great combinations, Marty Brown Jr. is currently touring as part of his father’s backup band, The Kentucky Wildcats.
Leave your two cents in the comments.
