With out a doubt Cynthia Clawson is my favorite gospel singer and “Ain’t It The Gospel Truth” is my favorite of her songs!
The words are like this:
“Ain’t it The Gospel Truth that God still loves you! and if you need more proof just look to Jesus and I believe you will see what perfect love can do ain’t it the gospel truth.
Oh what a statement.
In the early 1980’s late 1970’s my growing up church youth puppet team had a puppet named "Betty" that sang to this song (Ain’t It The Gospel Truth). The puppet was an African American puppet. :) (oh we didn’t know better)
It was so funny. It was as just about as close to "getting down" then youth (1977-1982) could do and get by with it in church.
Cynthia just re-released this entire Album “It Was His Love” recently. This is one album that I know every word to every song. As I listen to the words some 30 years later I realize how much ahead of her time Cynthia really was.
Listen and enjoy this song in this video below. Cynthia wasn’t happy about how the song turned out so she made her backup singers and the accompanist do it over. You get the song twice in this video. I didn’t think the first one was bad at all, but then again, I really enjoy the words Cynthia Clawson.
It’s hard to believe Cynthia is 61 (2009) years old. Her words, melodies and legacy will always be special to me.
What is your favorite song Cynthia Clawson sings?
Nibby, I haven't gone back to my "old" cassette tapes of Cynthia, but I think my favorite is "My Faith Has Found a Resting Place" and it's on one of the remastered CDs. Jerry
