Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah Behind the Song Andraé Crouch is a pastor, songwriter, producer and artist who has had an immense impact on the Christian music world over the last 50 years. His unique style of songwriting and performing brought African-American and white audiences together like no artist before or since. “Soon and Very Soon” — one of his most popular congregational songs — has been beloved for so long that many people believe it is an old hymn. The song was actually written in 1976, however, and has been recorded many times since then. “Soon and Very Soon” employs the simple style of traditional spiritual, from its easy-to-learn lyrics and rhythmic patterns to its hopeful message. Spirituals often used music to deliver and to reinforce hopeful messages of future relief from the temporal suffering and bondage experienced by slaves and other oppressed people. “Soon and Very Soon” is certainly no exception. The lyric features resolute optimism about a coming deliverance from this world of tears, death and oppression. He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen. (Revelation 22:20-21 NIV) youtu.be/lmGiu9JfbIs Taken from NIV Worship Together Bible
