OTHER NAMES: "My Home's Across the Blue Ridge Mountains"
SOURCES: Mudcat; Folk Index; Meade
NOTES: "And It's Christ's Love" is a praise song based on the traditional song, "My Home's Across the Blue Ridge Mountains." In Brown, vol. 5, music ("My Home's Across the Smoky Mountains"), it is stated that "possibly My Home's Across the Blue Ridge Mountains is based on an old religious song: 'Oh, How I Love Jesus.' The author also notes that the beginning "somehow recalls 'Go Tell It On the Mountain.'"
This song was posted as a version on Mudcat discussion forum 2007. It's from a tape of Living Waters Church choir of Cherokee NC, dating back around 1992:
And It's Christ's Love- Living Waters Church choir
I come to see you when I'm lonely
I come to see you when I'm lonely
I come to see you when I'm lonely
And it's Christ's love that binds our hearts as one.
It's joy you bring me when I see you
It's joy you bring me when I see you
It's joy you bring me when I see you
And it's Christ's love that binds our hearts as one.
You send me home with spirits lifted
You send me home with spirits lifted
You send me home with spirits lifted
And it's Christ's love that binds our hearts as one.
