[Intro]
[Don Dixon:]
Rolling!

[Bill Berry?:]
One, two, three, four!

[Verse 1: Michael Stipe:]
Reverend Bill Funderburk
Sings "He Cared That Much For Me"
Charles Surratt introduces
His own composition
"On Calvary For Me";
"The Joy of Knowing Jesus"
Is a song of pure delight
Featuring John Barbee

[Chorus 1]
The pure tenor quality of the voice of Harold
Montgomery gives a special interpretation to the grand
Old hymn "The Old Rugged Cross"
Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web
They weave as they reveal their innermost selves
With the outpouring of their hearts

[Verse 2]
On and on the songs roll on
And soon you are caught up
In the sermon in each rendition
As you come to feel
The devotion and dedication
That is poured forth
Suddenly, you know
They are real, they mean it!

[Chorus 2]
"Let your light so shine..." could not be more aptly ap-
Plied as there shines a light from heaven on your heart
Through their singing, as an artist, Rhonda Montgomery
Exemplifies piano artistry (She will return)
That's Rhonda! An artist! (She will return)
This album can be the instrument to mend a broken heart

Or to straighten out your life through the sincere testimony
In the songs of THE REVELAIRES. A must!

[Verse 3]
J. Elmo Fagg, Founder and leader
Of The Blue Ridge Quartet
For 23 years. On Temple Records, LST 390

[Chorus 3]
"The Joy of Knowing Jesus" Produced by: Joel Gentry
Cover/Backliner, Design/REESOR
THE REVELAIRES! A must!
THE REVELAIRES!
A must! in their home

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
