Sweet incense is "all-timer" for me.

This song was, perhaps, the least remembered "folk dance" that we did. In fact, I didn't even really remember it till I read your comment. We still sing this one at church down here in Louisville a bunch

Tim, that very moment was very powerful to me too. We had the palm branches and walked through the isles of the Statler on Easter Sunday. I absolutely love hearing which songs impacted people through the years! Blessings on you

Thanks, Tim, for the wonderful reflections and sharing these memories!

I love hearing the songs each person remembers and which one impacted them. Blessings on you and yours, Gary.

Much love, John!

It was, and is, a powerful album. May many blessings, from our Lord, be yours

@@JordanSandquist are you related? If so, did you grow up in Love Inn in Freeville, NY? I've just recently found the Courts of the King on Amazon and was thrilled to get it on CD! We have it on LP...I've missed the worship of the songs...so moving to me..started singing those songs in the early 1980's when we moved to a Christian community in Maryland...we sang these songs in worship... I visited Love Inn (twice) back in the early 1970's as a teenager searching for the Lord... I'm sorry I didn't recognize your name when I first saw your "Lion of Judah" video.... Thank you for sharing...🙏

Yes, I am Ted’s 3rd son and was born and raised at the Love Inn. I love hearing the stories/testimonies of people as the recount how God worked through that album and other worship songs. I wasn’t yet born in the early 70s but I love that you visited there. Dad is still writing and singing, but we moved to Louisville KY in 2001. I love posting some of his songs and the conversations like these I get to have because of doing them.

I look forward to it! I’ll be there with my dad, who wrote it, and we can celebrate together

My pleasure! This was and is a special song for me, too. Blessings on you and yours and thanks for the comment

Jordan, sorry I mistook your having written this song. Is Ted your father? Is he still alive? Thanks for publicizing and recording the song.

@kennethortloff4986 Yes, I’m his 3rd son and he is still alive and writing music! He’s currently in central America encouraging pastors and civil leaders and spreading the good news! I love hearing your story, how the Lord apprehended you and how you are still after Him! That dad’s music was used by the Lord is such a blessing, may God bless you in new and powerful ways!

Praying for you, my friend

Much love, John! Thank you

Yes, I’m Ted’s 3rd son

My great grandfather, Gunnar, moved to the US just after the turn of the century. He was born in Borås, Västra Götaland, Sweden. He wasn't a believer until he after he married a Swedish woman named Sara and the Lord apprehended him. He then helped start the "Sunday School" movement in Colorado, where adults would gather prior to church services to study scripture in an effort to live it out together. His son, Richard, then became a pastor and eventual board member of the Swedish Covenant Church at large, in which my father was raised. The story doesn't stop there, but all that to say, we love our heritage and I love to hear that some of Dad's music is being used to worship God back in Sweden! Thank you for the comment and God bless you, my friend!

@@JordanSandquist wow, great story! Yes, 1,5 million Swedes emigrated in total, many of which were Covenanters. I myself belong to a local church affiliated with both the Pentecostal Movement and the Swedish Mission Covenant Church and the Methodist church (now Equmeniakyrkan=Missionsförbundet, the Baptists and the Methodists) where once Carl Boberg was pastor. His song How Great Thou Art ( O, store Gud) was written here in town. You probably know the story since you have Swedish Covenant background. Most Americans are not aware it's Swedish, except for the Swedes in Chicago, where it was sung in Swedish...

My grandmother told me about Carl Boberg. She sang it to us in Swedish. She passed away 10 years ago in the retirement home in Chicago at the ripe old age of 104. She was a Carlson from the Youngstown Ohio area. My father was caught up in the Jesus movement out here in the states in the late 60s and his music was fundamental to many in that season. We are now part of a Spirit filled, bible believing non-denominational church where my oldest brother is the head pastor. Though we are not technically affiliated with the Covenant church, the influences and lineage is still strong with us. One day I plan on bringing my wife and 6 kids to the land of my ancestral heritage, I'd like to find out more about August (Gunnar's father) and his wife Lotta Svensdotter Sandquist.

@@JordanSandquist that’s very interesting how he got in touch with the Jesus movement, your father. It has been such a fountain of renewal to many “dead” and dry circles and denominations. It affected the whole Western World and beyond, not just America. Thank you! Some Jesus Hippies came to Stockholm and other cities in 1972, preaching and singing in the streets. They were welcomed by Lutherans and Baptists, Methodists and u name it. Lewi Pethrus invited them to his Fildadelfia church in the capitol. That had an enormous impact that he opened the church doors, cause he was an authority on spiritual matters. If he was ok with it, others followed. I have seen a picture where a long-haired Bob Weiner ( from NYC) sits at the feet of pastor Pethrus who was very old then. I had the privilege to meet Bob many years after the photo was shot, and he was not long-haired any longer and wore a suit…But praise God, he was still on fire for the Lord. He never mentioned he had been in Stockholm Philadelphia in the early 70s. I later found out. Wow, you got a legacy, bro! Jesus Movement is modern church history! I saw the Jesus Revolution movie in the beginning of this year. Man, I was totally blewn away by it. It revolved round Calvary Chapel in Southern California, with the late Chuck Smith and Lonnie Frisbee, R.I.P. I’ve attended a charismatic Lutheran free church in Kalmar where I came in touch with the Vineyards people who often came there from California to teach and preach. The Vineyard movement was a direct result of this movement I have understood. So, it has born plenty of fruit. May God direct your steps as you plan to visit the Old Country when the time is right. Hope you find out more of your family history. Actually in this age of Internet it’s much easier to do genealogical research, especially when you have Scandinavian roots. That’s because of the very detailed church records which go back to the 17th century. They’re possible to access online if they are older than 75 years. We had a State church which kept records of all people, for good and for bad. The Non-Conformists of course didn’t like the domination and control of the individuals' religious life. That’s why they broke away and sometimes even emigrated to America with its liberty, political as well as religious and civil. Gud välsigne dig och de dina! 🇸🇪( ‘God bless you and yours!’) 🇺🇸

@larsbjornland6729 dad knew Lonnie, once he left Calvary Chapel he came east to Fort Lauderdale Florida where dad visited many times. I know of Bob, of course, but I’m not sure if dad and he had their paths cross, but I’ll ask. The Lord really did and is doing wonderful things through that movement and we are thankful for the part we get to take in it! Blessings upon you and yours too! I appreciate the connection, thanks for commenting!

YES! Thank you for your comment, I can feel those same tears many times when I get sing these words from scripture, blessings upon blessings be yours as you worship our Lord

Thank you DSKim, my videos are just of me worshiping my Lord, Jesus Christ. And if they touched you in any way, then I praise God for that! Looking at your channel, you are easily the better guitarist, I just love the songs I am singing and wanted to share them with the world. Praying blessings and continued success for you, my friend
