[net.music] old song

mhauck (01/08/83)

Has anyone heard a song that is a ballad that goes through the bible
with a chorus something like this:
We have grown, we have grown, we have won the throne....
My husband and I heard it a year or two ago and have looked all over for
it.  Any help would be welcome.  It was a beautiful soft flowing ballad.

The song is called "Genesis" and isn't old. It was copyrighted in
1978 and released late in 1980. It is on Don McLean's album
Chain Lightning, which is available in most record stores.
The chorus is    We have grown, we have grown, we have captured the throne
		 Of the kingdom God made for our winning
		 We have grown, we have grown, and our children alone
		 Have so little time left for beginning
If you want the rest of the lyrics, let me know and I will send
them to you. If you get the record, the lyrics are on the liner.
(Other songs on the record: Words&Music, Crying, It's Just the Sun, Lotta
Lovin', Chain Lightning; Your Cheatin' Heart, Wonderful Night,
I Guess It Doesn't Matter Anymore, Since I Don't Have You, It's a
Beautiful Life.)
