One of my favorite praise songs is Charles Brown's To be God's People. An ex-Navy music instructor, Charles Brown has been writing praise since the early 70s. I had a chance to call Mr. Brown this afternoon and thank him. He wrote the piece while he was attending a church in Waco. The pastor was preaching on how missions is important, but... "but we must never forget that the church here, that we have been called to be God's people in this place". Hence the inspiration for the piece.

Live His goodness, share His grace.
Proclaim God’s mercy through His son,
Be His love to every one.
Tim, great song. Thanks for leading it on Sunday. It was new to me. See, it's great to have more people lead songs because we expand our repertoire :)
Posted by: Jack at January 31, 2005 11:08 PMThanks for the "info"... I'm going to look this song up. I missed it somehow. Struggling with the issue of being God's person right where I am.
I don't think I knew that! I knew I was struggling with something... thought it was with being in His will. This is true, but... much simpler, I think. I was complicating it as usual.
I just need to be God's person where I'm at, first, then let Him lead me where He wants, when He wants.
Thanx.

I have been looking everywhere for a copy of this song by Charles F. Brown. It is also one of my favorites. Is it in a hymnal that you have?
Thanks,
Linda
Posted by: Linda at April 13, 2005 11:04 AMThe song To Be God's People by Charles F Brown we used as our benediction song in the Frankston Forest Baptist Church Victoria Australia. I have a copy of the music ( piano & lyrics and guitar chords ) for this song. I was trying to find how I could get an audio copy recording of this song from the internet and came across your site.
I'm now living in Brisbane Qld Australia.
Cheers
