Chuck Girard Band "Sometimes Alleluia" 1979 

I've been walking with God for 50 years now. This walk has not yet gotten old but is fresh and new every day. Soon we will see Him!!

I was 17 years old, living in a very small town in Germany. I heared this song all times, very loud, praising God with hands lifting up. What a grace it was. 🙏🙏❤️

I was blessed to personally witness all of God's work through Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa from the very beginning in 1967.

I played in a group called, ONE SPIRIT and though we wrote a lot of our own songs, we also covered all of Love Song's songs, which was a task, to say the least. I play lead guitar and sing, so I had to learn all of Bob Wall's guitar parts. These guys were the best of the best, especially in their time. We were fortunate to be commonly mistaken for Love Song, because we actually sounded just like them and our lead vocalist sounded exactly like Chuck Girard, so we were very fortunate. On top of that, it was probably the most magnificent time in my life and the Jesus Movement was exactly that. It was an amazing time to be alive.

As a fairly new Christian in the 70s I went to one of Chuck's concerts and heard this live. I wrote him a "fan" letter and he wrote back thanking me.

I was saved in 1985 at Horizon Christian Fellowship. What a place of love 💕 thank you Jesus for saving me!!!❤

Oh how I miss these day's when we were young and newly filled. I miss Chuck to, but as a 72 year old I realize that thorough bible teaching in the word never grows old. 🙏 Marantha

What blessed memories this brings to my heart...swaying together all down the rows at church as we laced our arms together and hands up to the Lord. Girls would sing angelic harmonies and Chcuck's tilted head at the altar listening and his 1 and only beautiful smile from God..The look on his face lit up the stars. I miss them all..so much it hurts

Reflects the great revival in the 70's. I grew up in that revival and as a little child remember God's presence powerfully. The "Jesus Revolution" movie should play this song.👆

God used you to minister to me in the 70’s and still is using you to this day to minister to my children and grandchildren. My granddaughter wants to meet you, I have always wanted to meet you and hoped I would run into you back then when I traveled with Bubba Chamber’s band, Hope of Glory. God bless you Chuck Girard. We will sing together in the new heaven and new earth. “Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus”

So blessed to read all these comments. He had/has such a beautiful voice. I attend Calvary Chapel in Vancouver, WA and I pray if someone like these guys looked walked into our church we would accept them with Christian love. What a blessing this song is to me. I'm 82 years old and I never get tired of hearing it.

This song takes me to the throne in praise every time I hear it.

What a blessing to hear this again! Way back in the early days! I used to go to the concerts at Calvary and saw many great bands! The Lord really blessed these guys, not only with incredible voices, but great talent to write such moving songs that are still such a joy to hear!

It's been along time since I've heard this anointed voice! It reached into my spirit the same today as it did 50 years ago. I'm thankful to the Lord for this group and Chuck Smith! I pray for another movement of the Lord like this now. I still have my Love Song album from the 70'a and listen to it on occasion!

This beautiful gentle song doesn't get old. It's a great song to listen to before going to bed.

Oh such sweet memories listening today to the band praising God. I frequently listened, sang and worshipped with them at Calvary Chapel in the 1970s.

Love this song. We sang it in Aucklands Town Hall in 81' where church met. 2500 people gathered Dan Stradwick our Worship Leader had a beautiful anointing on him. He sang the verses gently, while we all sang the chorus. It was with great gusto & the build up after note change was explosive & so powerful. Such was the presence of Holy Spirit. And this caused us to Worship Jesus for well over an hr with no breaks. I thought the roof was going to take off. We had entered into God's Presence. It was Indescribable. I have never been or been part of another church like that to this day. Even watching tv christian programs. Praise God today, we can watch SBN & FWC.

I was either 19 or 20, 1971/1972. I only regret that I've not been a more faithful servant to our Lord Jesus.

So, i just discovered Chuck Girard's music this year...what a time to be alive

Beautiful, anointed song to the Lord. Timeless in it's ability to inspire sincere worship to Jesus. And, what a voice and talent.....

Such great memories of my youth. It's where praise and worship started

I pray this song anoints and touches even the poor, the deaf, the blind, crippled, and the abused that are so much out of reach in this corrupted fast pace world. God not only cares for them, but are His children more than world realizes.

Well I’m listening to this beautiful song over and over. 😢😢😢

like so many that have commented songs annointed by the Holy Spirit never get old , never lose there impact. I was saved in the tent . Tom Stipe led the alter call I'm as blessed today as I was then. Praise you Jesus !

Thank you Chuck Girard for creating such song as this "Sometimes Allelujah! It is so precious and so beautiful and I feel the awesome powerful presence of God through this song... Amen! Thank You Father God, Son Jesus and Blessed Holy Spirit. Thank You God for your Holy Presence in our midst.. ...

Wow, i may have been in the audience, a long haired hippy who was in darkness and was set free by the Lord.

When I firsf heard this and many times later, this song to me is pure beauty. I did not realize how old the song is. I always hoped the creators were young and in good health. When I saw him on an interview with his daughter, I was sad to see his age. Scripture gives us examples and promises that our youth can be restored. I was a Christian for 50 years. Now I only follow our Heavenly Father and His Son in the context of the New Covenant - a spiritual life in the Kingdom of God (ignored by Paul and Christians). Sadly the promises of rejuvenation and promises of a 1000 year life span. I hope we wake up to the realization of the promises and joy we ignore.

man! God was generous with His gifting to this man! his voice literally gives me goosebumps. T?hank you, Lord that you give such beauty for us to enjoy! never heard of him before. thanx for posting! 2023 now. i hope you've uploaded more of his recordings. he has a voice like something God would give to someone & literally say: "Here, Go use this to tell them abt Me. Show them The Way.""

Praise YOU LORD JESUS!

Thanks so much, Chuck. Your voice is part of the best of this world. The love of Jesus has always flowed through your music to us out here.

So beautiful! Sweet memories, and oh that dove 💙. Thank you Jesus.

The praise reached right down ro Melbourne town to me a never forgotten warmth of LOVE I THE SPIRIT.❤

This song came out in 79. Its 2021 my first time hearing this beautiful singing voice with ANGELs gently singing. Thanks to RU-vid videos. Thanks for sharing Mr.Chuck Girard. GOD bless you.

I dearly love this song. Also how the Lord is still. using him in working with the youth!

Anointed song.... Sang this song of beautiful worship as a beloved of mine was dying and the GLORY Of God FILLED the air with His Presence as it had so many times through this song!❤️💞❤️

Thanks for sharing this wonderful gentle worship song…. I found this song yesterday, and I have listened more than 10 times… “The walk with our Lord never got old and new every day.”

What a voice, what a song..It doesn't get any better...

Stumbled onto this when it showed up in a 'mix' with some of my own material - and I was giddy, hoping to see an old friend - Larry - 'back in the day'. 3:33 - and there he is. Made my day - in 2022! 1.4K+ liked, 93,949th view. Keep on keepin' on, Larry & Nancy!

Thanks Kudos To God. I just discovered this. ❤ 1984 Lonlas Gospel Mission Skewen nr Neath South Wales.

Thank you so much for giving me this special time of worship this evening. I remember well this great song of worship from back in our day., Hope you guys are still using those great gifts for the glory of our great and blessed Savior, Jesus. Pray for Israel right now that His will be done. Blessings

Beautiful worship song! Then and now!!

Love it! Thank You Jesus for all the years of Christ-like music we have received from Your saints!

I too have been walking with Jesus for 50 yrs, and I too feel like it was yesterday, we are more closer to the coming of the Lord since then, I had to come to the US to find Jesus, not in the UK. loved Chucks music.

Sing it if you want to...….Heaven is rejoicing! Sing a little louder....Hallelujah

O, My! THIS is worship at its very best. Wow! HOLY SPIRIT, please once again give us songs of Zion and songs from heaven! Please open the heavens again, and let the melodies and the lyrics come from the throne of God. I am just so tired of the pretenders:). Yes, “the angels are singing.” Let’s find those songs!

I remember the 60's and 70's well and the move of the Spirit we enjoyed. Lord let the Spirit flow mightily again. We so badly need to see the Lord moving in power.

Praise our God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...thank you, Jesus

My All time Favorite Song...& I love a lot of music, so this says a lot of my friend Chuck Girard

I got saved in 1973. I remember those days fondly, only problem is most of the saints that I knew from those days have fallen away. Makes my heart so sad.

That’s a beautiful time from many years ago and pray that revival and awakening happens to our hearts again!!

Love Chucks music and love for the Lord. I'd love to hear him again!

Such a beautiful song. Really aged well.

I was in the USAF at this time serving on the East Coast and overseas. I was unable to keep up with these pioneer Christian groups. Thank you for your work in allowing us to hear their their music ministries and be blessed by them.

Love this. It brings back wonderful memories of my aunt's singing it in some local Texas churches back in the early 80s. Thank you for unearthing it.

one of my all time favorites...I remember it like it was today. Rock on Chuck!

This song marks great memories as a youhful Christian at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa

I have always loved this song...sent it to several friends! Simply beautiful and moving!

Chuck & his music was VERY VERY powerful & pivotal in my early walk w Jesus back in 1976 as a senior in high school, Fremd HS, Palatine Illinois. How about Son City??!! Good times... blessings to Don Cousins & Bill Hybels

This brings a flood of feelings and memories. Beautiful!

Never forget concert of Praise in Melbourne Shalom & Blessings ❤

Beautiful song, Praise God

Beautiful Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Great, anointing song. Many people have sang it as well. But Chuck’s is the best.

Oh my Goodness! Thank you! It has been 45 years since I went to Calvary Chapel to join in the musical worship of our Father above! I've lived through a tremendous amount of tradgedy and heart-ache since then, but I've never lost my faith in our Father/Savior. I'm just glad I found this great music from long ago and it gave me strength to continue! I only wish I could go back to that day, but all good.. Thank you again!

This and many other songs make me cry. Love chuck and his ministry since I was 7, I'm almost 57 now. Praying for you and the the world 🙏✝️.

I have that album backed away in a box. It’s still such a blessing to hear that. Thank you. I’m glad your on you tube. I can share it with my old friends.

Truly, this song is Holy Ghost Inspired, and the band Spirit Fillled!!! 🕊

Estas canciones las oigo desde niño pero en español. Ya casi tengo 60 años. Canta aleluya, canta Gloria a Dios!!!!

I love Jesus😊

A blessing to know this young man knows the Lord so well, pray that our young people would hear His voice and answer yes!

What a beautiful rendition! Love, love this song. The lyrics just ministers to my soul. You rock Chuck! Adding this one to my play list. ❤❤♫

Beautiful. I still listen to him today.

AMEN! Praise God! This is a beautiful song!

I was on my honeymoon when I first heard this song at a JESUS 75' FESTIVAL IN PENNSYVANIA

Hearing chuck brings back so many memories

Takes me to his presence

I saw Chuck & the band live on April 27,1978 on my birthday.......

Saw him at CC-Appleton in the last two days. Still anointed music

The power of the Holy Spirit is felt, thanks be to the Lord Jesus Christ. 75 years young. God Bless you all.

A few years before my exposure to CCM in '81. This was one of the first songs I was exposed to, along with his "Full Emersion, Ocean Water, Baptism by the Sea"! Classic!

RIP Jon “Wonderfingers” Linn. I met this version of Chuck’s band in Brisbane in 79 or 80.

Still beautiful...

Oh Praise Lord God Almighty! 🙌👑 How lovely are the feet of those who bring the good news of peace. ❤

Beautiful back then beautiful now and will be in ten twenty thirty forty yrs time

They should bring this song back. 👍🏼♥️

I remember this great singer and the old days of cccm ✝️

joy of the greatest contemporary Christian music... thank you chuck !

timeless song indeed

So special to see you with Love Song on Huckabee the other night...I liv win Tampa now but my mind goes back to Johannesburg(where we lived and served), Rhema church in Randburg, where you visited as special guest and made an amazing impact with your song "It's the Name Above All Names!" Thank you so much for your obedience Chuck! We continue to pray for you!

Hallelujah! .Most rewarding being here, truly the presence of God is here..I find the anointing is powerful.. and beautiful.. Thank you for sharing..The Greatest love this world has ever known..❤😊

I'm also 50 years old brother I miss you pastor Chuck

Happy childhood memories❤

WOW WOW!! Amazing song! This is the first time I heard It in english

I "disovered this among the Mix of Techinocolors (Edee Villanueva) Reunion concert. Edee Villanueva and the Technicolors was a popular band in the Philippines (rich kids from American School playing Shadows, Beach Boys and Beatle songs). They reunited in 1993. I wondered what this song is doing in this mix. The first time I listened ths song "Sometimes Alleuia)I just shrugged it off as just one of those Praise and Worship Songs. I listened a second time and it hit me hard -- WHAM!!!. Today I must have played it more than 50x with prayerful tears each time.

What a wonderful memory. Blessed, even after all these years. Blessed be God.

I was blessed by this!

What a powerful song.

This is my favorite!

What a VOICE ~~

I was saved in 1977 at the of 23. Chuck Girard, Keith Green, and John Michael Talbot were my first Christian albums. I have gone back to listening to them as CCM is mostly shallow.
