UMA PODEROSA CANÇÃO DE ANDRAÉ COUCHE: THROUGH IT ALL NA VOZ DE IMPORTANTES CANTORES

Jimmy Swaggart





Cece Winans, André Couch, Bill Gathier

Enquanto a igreja evangélica brasileira ( não só no Brasil mas também e principalmente ) por força do imediatismo dá oportunidade que canções absolutamente simplórias, no mau sentido, rasas sejam cantadas nas igrejas e substituídas vez após vez por outras de sucesso duvidoso, impulsionado pelas vendas cobiçadas pela indústria do disco, velhas, bem velhas canções, compostas após as mais duras, sofridas experiências, com gemidos, clamor e finalmente louvor diante de Deus permanecem desconhecidas ou esquecidas de um universo de crentes que deveriam sim aprender de forma definitiva certas lições que dizem respeito, como Paulo, um dia terminar a carreira e guardar a fé, a única coisa que será o passaporte definitivo para a eternidade.

Jimmy Swaagart, que pela sua história, levou milhões em todo o mundo a conhecerem ao Senhor Jesus, lotando as igrejas evangélicas no Brasil de todas as denominações em mais de uma década impactante, há três décadas atrás, André Couch, autor de uma das mais belas canções que já conheci e que amo "My Tribute", A bela negra Cece Winans, voz e rosto perfeitos que diferente de Whitney Houston, cantando juntas tantas vezes, permanece firme diante do nosso Senhor sem esquecer o grande Bill Gathier autor nada menos do belíssimo "Porque Ele Vive!"

Que esses dois momentos e que esses dois vídeos te edifiquem nesse dia e que as importantes e preciosas lições dessas duas canções fiquem gravadas em seu coração!


"Através de qualquer coisa, através de tudo, tenho aprendido a confiar em Cristo!"

Through It All Lyrics / sing  Jimmy Swaggart snd others

Verse 1:

I've had many tears and sorrows,
I've had questions for tomorrow,
there's been times I didn't know right from wrong.
But in every situation,
God gave me blessed consulation,
that my trials come to only make me strong.

Chorus:
Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to trust in Jesus,
I've learned to trust in God.

Through it all,
through it all,
I've learned to depend upon His Word.

Verse 2:
I've been to lots of places,
I've seen a lot of faces,
there's been times I felt so all alone.
But in my lonely hours,
yes, those precious lonely hours,
Jesus lets me know that I was His own

Chorus

Verse 3:
I thank God for the mountains,
and I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.
For if I'd never had a problem,
I wouldn't know God could solve them,
I'd never know what
Faith in God could do

 EM 1975, NA CRUZADA BILLY GRAM

Andraé Edward Crouch was born in San Francisco, California, where his parents managed a dry-cleaners. His father, Benjamin Crouch, also had a street ministry and ministered in hospitals and in prison. When Crouch was 11, his father was invited to preach at a small church in a farming community. The church didn't have a regular pastor so the bishop asked Benjamin to fill the post. The first Sunday, Benjamin asked his son to come up front and asked, "Andraé, if God gave you the gift of music to play and sing for Him, would you do it for His glory all your life?" Crouch said, "Yeah, Daddy." Weeks later, Benjamin summoned his son again as the congregation sang, with: "If you're gonna play, play." Crouch found the key and started to play the piano. He soon began to write songs and lead a choir. As he had a stuttering problem until he was 14, he let his sister be his public spokesperson.

Crouch was a key figure in the Jesus Music movement of the 1960s and 1970s. As a result, helped bring about contemporary Christian music, and began to bridge the gap between black and white Christian music. Though sometimes criticized for diluting the Gospel message by using contemporary styles, his songs have become staples in churches all around the world and recorded by mainstream artists such as Elvis Presley and Paul Simon.

Crouch is also credited with revolutionizing the sound of urban Gospel music. Crouch was instrumental in bringing Walter and Tramaine Hawkins, Jessy Dixon and The Winans to Light Records, all enjoying successful gospel music careers. His influence has extended to countless artists like BeBe and CeCe Winans, The Clark Sisters, Wintley Phipps,Anointed and Israel Houghton.

In 1996, Crouch's songs were the impetus for the Grammy Award- winning CD, Tribute: The Songs of Andraé Crouch (released on Warner Bros. Records), which featured a range of artists performing some of his classic songs including the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Take 6 and Michael W. Smith.

Crouch and his sister Sandra loved and greatly respected Michael Jackson as a dear friend for many years. In 1987, the Andraé Crouch Choir sang background vocals along with Siedah Garrett, Glen Ballard, and The Winans on Jackson's hit single "Man in the Mirror" from the Bad album. The Andraé Crouch Singers were also featured on the songs "Keep the Faith" and "Will You Be There" from Jackson's 1991 Dangerous album. Andraé and Sandra also did the choir arrangement for those songs. On Jackson's HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I project in 1995, the Andraé Crouch Choir chants climactically in a dramatic interaction with Jackson on "Earth Song." Crouch's composition, "Soon and Very Soon" was performed at the public memorial service for Jackson at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Between 1993 and 1994 his father, mother, and older brother all died. Following his father's death, he took over as Senior Pastor at Christ Memorial Church of God in Christ inPacoima, California, the church founded by his parents. He serves alongside his twin sister Sandra. He is cousin to music critic Stanley Crouch.

Andraé Couch, como muitos crentes nos EUA, bem como  no Brasil e em qualquer parte do mundo, tem uma trajetória de altos e baixos, a canção composta por ele ( "Através de Tudo / Through All ) é um depoimento sincero e humilde da nossa pequena condição diante do cuidado de Deus por nós, apesar de nem sempre, na maioria dos casos sermos exemplares e perfeitos em todo o tempo de nossa curta experiência. Uma lição real e verdadeira, sem dúvida.

PORTANTO, APRENDA ESSA CANÇÃO SE PUDER, OU PELO MENOS A SUA GRANDE LIÇÃO, E ADORE AO SENHOR CANTANDO ESSA VERDADE!

TENHA UM BOM DIA! UM EXCELENTE DIA, UM ABENÇOADO DIA!

TITLE: Through It All
WORDS AND MUSIC BY: Andrae Crouch
AS RECORDED BY: Ray Boltz

NOTE: I use the capo on the second fret for this song. 
As of 5-12-08, I noticed that this song is in the request list,
with Carroll Roberson performing. I have never heard Carroll's version,
thus I submit my transposition of this great Andrae Crouch song as recorded by Ray Boltz.

PLEASE NOTE: I've noticed that the chord names do not line up above the proper word
placement when transposed to this site, and I've tried to adjust but it just doesn't
come out right when uploaded here. So, just listen to the song and you can hear where
the chords should change.

ending on C with a high G note instead of the normal open E
