5.0 out of 5 stars a deep well of inspiration and love, January 31, 2004

This review is from: Bill and Gloria Gaither: Because He Lives (DVD)

Bill and Gloria Gaither's songs of faith have touched millions, and here we get to hear many of them performed, and learn the stories behind how their creativity is stirred, and how many of these lovely compositions were brought to life.
Mark Lowry, who produced this wonderful music film (and also has a laugh-out-loud comedy moment on stage), interviews them, and one gets the feeling of much love between all the Gaither family, with also a lot humility and humor.
Many old performances are shown, dating back to the late '60s, with the marvelous tenor voice of Bill's brother Danny. Other singers include Sandi Patti, Woody Wright, Jim Hill, and many more.

The songs:
"Think on the Good Things" / "Eyes Have Not Seen, Ears Have Not Heard" / "I Just Feel Like Something Good is About to Happen" / "God Gave the Song" / "This is the Time I Must Sing" / "Center of My Joy" / "Because He Lives" / "There's Not a Hoof Left Behind" / "There's Something About That Name" / "Forever with Jesus" / "I Am a Promise" / "I'm Gonna Keep On" / "Jesus is Lord of All" / "I'm so Glad I Found an Altar of Prayer" / "The Longer I Serve Him" / "Something Beautiful" / "Let's Just Praise the Lord" / "We Have This Moment Today" / "He Touched Me" / "God Always had a People" (reading) and "The Church Triumphant" / "Some Things I Must Tell the Children" / "I Could Never Outlove the Lord" / "The King is Coming" / "The Stage is Bare".

Some highlights for me are Sandi Patti singing "God Gave the Song", with Bill's expressive central narration; a telecast from '72 of their big hit "Because He Lives"; the hilarious performance of a song they say is the worst they ever wrote, "There's Not a Hoof Left Behind"; Gloria brought me to tears with her intro to "Some Things I Must Tell the Children", and the moving final piece, "The Stage is Bare", also sung by Sandi Patti.

Bill and Gloria are a match made in heaven, and are joined on stage with their family, dearest friends, and fellow musicians, for an hour and 56 minutes of joyous music and insights into their life, which lift one's spirit, and inspire the mind.

Nevin Moyer (Telford, Pa United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bill & Gloria Gaither - Because He Lives [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I think this is one of their best videos.It gives you the best history of how it all started.First with Bill,Danny and their sister Mary Ann and later how Bill met Gloria,dated and got married and Gloria taking Mary Ann's place in the Treo.I also enjoyed the story included of Danny part in the Treo and felt sorry for him for having to go through what he did.The appearencesof Danny and his singing after his voice started to come back are very touching and appreciated.I highly recomend this video to anyone aquianted with the Gaithers Nevin Moyer

This review is from: Bill & Gloria Gaither - Because He Lives [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Mark Lowry hosts this special video highlighting the poetry, lyrics, and music created by Bill and Gloria Gaither. The conversations, interview questions, film clips, and testimonies provide interesting, inspiring insight into a lifetime of ministry of the Gaithers and the lives of those who have used their music to reach out in ministry to bless others.

Stories of some of their best known and favorite songs include a glimpse into the background behind the following numbers:
* God Gave the Son
* This is the Song I Must Sing
* Center of My Joy
* Because He Lives
* We Have This Moment
* The King is Coming

Among my favorites are:
* There's Something About the Name
* Forever With Jesus
* I Could Never Out Love the Lord
* Something Beautiful
* Let's Just Praise the Lord
* He Touched Me
* The Church Triumphant

Special tribute is paid to the life and music of Danny Gaither and the intricate part he played in the formative years of the Gaither Trio.

I enjoyed the performance featuring Gary McSpadden, Jake Hess, Bob Cain, Jim Hill, and Janet Paschal.

I have added this to my collection of the Homecoming Friends Video and can recommend that you do the same. You will be blessed through these powerful songs and the stories behind them.
