Joy is Like the Rain
This ground-breaking album released in
1966
quickly became a major resource
in the religious education programs and Sunday worship
services
of a number of denominations throughout the United States
and Canada
and in many countries around the world.
A number of songs remain popular today:
"Joy is Like the Rain," "Spirit of
God," "Long Road to Freedom,"
"How I Have Longed," "The Wedding
Banquet."
George W. Cornell, Associated Press
Religion Editor wrote at that time:
" Medical Mission Sisters give their songs a tang of
life loved
and acutely reckoned.
Their kind of catchy, spontaneous music
is a part of the changing ways of Christian worship
which throbs with the strummed guitar, percussion
instruments
and contemporary folk ballads of prose, story, and
prayer."
