"I was blinded by the devil,Born already ruined,Stone-cold dead As I stepped out of the womb.By His grace I have been touched,By His word I have been healed,By His hand I've been delivered,By His spirit I've been sealed.I've been saved, By the blood of the lamb,Saved By the blood of the lamb,Saved,Saved, And I'm so glad.Yes, I'm so glad,I'm so glad,So glad,I want to thank You, Lord,I just want to thank You, Lord,Thank You, Lord. By His truth I can be upright,By His strength I do endure,By His power I've been lifted,In His love I am secure.He bought me with a price,Freed me from the pit,Full of emptiness and wrathAnd the fire that burns in it."
(Saved by Bob Dylan).
The above pretty much says it all.
In 1979 Bob Dylan had what many would call a powerful conversion experience and encounter with Jesus Christ. In the next three years he released three albums which contained what are now recognized as the greatest body of gospel songs of this modern era.Those who doubt this statement only need to listen to the following CD recordings: Slow Train Coming, Saved and Shot of Love.Further validation of this statement can be found in the fact that gospel music's best artists released a CD of his recordings in 2004 entitled,Gotta Serve Somebody,The Gospel Songs of Bob Dylan.
I don't know where Bob's heart, mind and soul are in 2008 but I do know that these recordings were inspired and will touch your Spirit.
