1990 HeartSong Video (Concert Video)

(c)1990 Joyful Heart Music

This was the HeartSong video I ordered from Amazon, and is the first of two special uploads planned for this week.

First, some background. During the early 1970s, Peter Jacobs was one of a series of youngsters involved in the Jesus Music movement during the early 1970s (many of whom came out of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa). Jacobs had been part of the group "Children of the Day" (best known for the song "For Those Tears I Died" for you Christian music history buffs) but left before their final album came out; in hindsight a wise decision as the group soon imploded when lead singer Marsha (Stevens) Carter came out as a lesbian. Peter & Hanneke Jacobs stayed with Maranatha into the 1980s (which by then was mainly producing praise and worship releases and children's music -- such as Ernie & Debby Rettino's Psalty the Singing Songbook), creating the Colby the Computer character as well as the lesser-known Nannybird series before striking out on their own.

Around 1989; the Jacobs began working with a group of teenagers from various churches in the Southern California area; beginning as a Bible Study (in a sense, similar to how Chuck Smith had discipled Jacobs and many others who came to the Lord in that area nearly 20 years earlier) and then adding music and choreography in the formation of the vocal group HeartSong.

ORDER OF CLIPS (some of which are familiar from later appearances in Colby's Clubhouse episodes):
1. Come Praise the Lord
2. My Turn Now (cover of an early Steven Curtis Chapman song)
3. Jenny Ng shares her testimony of being saved after dabbling in drugs and battling depression
4. In a World That Needs Love
5. Song Inside My Heart
6. All I Really Wanna Do (original version)
7. Marianne Dotson shares on how she really became "sold out" to the Lord, even to the point of breaking up with her boyfriend
8. Whatever You Do
9. You're My Rock (original version; thus no "We Will Rock You"-style claps at the top and a little more synthesizer emphasis)
10. Phil Metzger testifies on how he learned to cast his cares on the Lord after seeing his parents' marriage end in divorce
11. Trust in the Lord (original version; I REALLY like this rendition)
12. I Wanna Be Ready for That Coming Day
13. Dave Walter shares how God delivered him from thoughts of suicide
14. Just the Way You Are
15. HeartSong
16. Who Made Up the Rule (apparently released as a single; see Colby's Place video)
17. Judy Lin shares how her life was spared from a stabbing attack, as well as her later putting her trust in Christ
18. The Reason We Sing (First Call cover)
