Chords for Chuck Girard: A New "Jesus Movement?"

[C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Over the years, I've heard a lot of people and I myself have said, boy, wouldn't it be
great if there was another Jesus movement.
But I really don't know that we'll have_
Jesus is always moving, so don't get me wrong.
But _ the uniqueness of _ 1970s, late 60s, that will maybe never be repeated is that it was
maybe the only time [N]
in the history of the world that you had a single counterculture,
_ primarily the hippies, _ fueled by the Beatles and other groups of the day that were _ affirming our experience. _
Yeah, we're dropping LSD and the undercurrent, the code language was, we're on the Beatles
trip and they're on ours.
And Bob Dylan and all these guys were all_
And we felt we were going to change the world and everybody was in the same _ place, moving
toward what I call in the late 60s, the great disillusionment.
When we came to the end of all that, we realized that Eastern philosophies couldn't take us any further.
Timothy Leary only could take us so far.
_ Everybody's sitting at the precipice of this thing where we all traveled there together,
thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people.
So the next step was either back into the world and become the yuppies of the 70s and
the 80s or into Jesus.
So that's why there was such a huge harvest, in my opinion, that may not be the same way.
Now you have the counterculture is like niche markets.
You have the skinheads and you have the goths.
So there's not really an opportunity or a stage set for a worldwide movement that comes
out of a massive counterculture.
_ But can Jesus still have a Jesus moment?
Yes.
So maybe ours is just a small part.
And music is always a huge part of any movement of any kind.
But now it's all so diverse that there could be little pockets.
Who can predict?
Who knows where the world's going?
_ I do really hope and trust that I'll see a great revival in my lifetime yet.
_ Are we a part of that new wave?
I don't know.
The uniqueness of back then, like you said, there was no Bach yet.
_ It was being defined, Christian music.
We didn't even have a language for what we were doing.
We were just rock and rollers that were singing about Jesus.
Somebody else later on called it contemporary Christian music.
And so by the time we actually _ disbanded, _ _ it was just starting to move into becoming a business.
And I'm not down on business.
It was just people realizing money could be made from it.
And so I don't know where we're going from here.
We find it very _ _ _ spiritually or _ _ _ _ _ divinely _ _ coincidental that 40 years later, _ biblical generation,
God puts all the elements together for us to come back around for a second swing.
We don't know what's going to happen.
And we've tried to broker this deal with getting the catalog purchased by Calvary.
Chuck's been willing to do it for a number of years.
_ 10, 15, 20 years I've been talking to him about it and it never happened.
This time it did.
So it's exciting because we really don't know.
All the guys, we're all out here committed to this thing.
Two of us live in Nashville, one of us live in Sweden.
And we're all out here committed to whatever the Lord says, as Chuck Smith says, whatever
doors the Lord opens.
So they've been very cooperative to keep us _ where we're in a place where we can continue
in this way, [B] Calvary Chapel.
And _ it's exciting.
This is, like I say, the first tour.
We don't really know.
There's no way to answer.
You know, would I hope that we could spawn another great movement?
Of course I would.
But, you know, the Lord may have a different way to bring it about.
But I do feel we're a part of something.
And it's exciting.
