Did you know that Gary Oliver used to be a oneness preacher before he and his wife split and he went to work with Carman? I met his former wife at an AWCF function in North Carolina about 7 years ago. I was shocked when her daughter told me who her dad was. I had no idea that he had OP roots.

The spirit of the above mentioned song is worship...respectfully, the only Spirit I feel with that song is the Holy Spirit.

Barb,

I really don't have anything against the music to that song particularly. It is not the kind of depth of worship music that would command the level of adoration that the words "holy" repeated twice more. The song is too reminiscent of the Trinitarian worship of "God in three persons, blessed trinity" flavor that it was originally written for. It is subjective I suppose. I just chose not to sing the so called Oneness version...if there be one. If you do, I think that I would follow it by singing...

The mighty God is Jesus
the Prince of Peace is he
the everlasing father
the king eternally
wonderful in wisdom
by whom all things are made
the fulness of the Godhead
in Jesus is displayed.

It's all in Him, its all in him
the fullness of the Godhead
is all in Him,
its all in Him, its all in Him
the mighty God is Jesus
and its all in Him....

But this would be right before the choir sung "The Water Way," and just before I preached, "Whom Do Men Say That I Am," I would have the soloist sing, "He's the Lord of Glory, He Is the Great I Am."

Get the picture???

Very true - he was UPC I believe too.

I met him at Mike Tuminello's church here in Memphis many years ago.

Isn't there a really old song we use to sing "It's all in him, it's all in him - the fullness of the godhead, it's all in him? I remember folks shouting to that!

I too thought he was UPC but not being sure I was going to just say OP. I didn't want to be attacked by any one who might think I was impugning the UPC.

Duh, you're right. I didn't realize it had verses, so I didn't recognize it.

Didn't he work with Carmen when they were with Carlton Pearson in Tulsa??

I think Gary Oliver's roots are in Oklahoma.
