Highly-acclaimed Bluegrass Gospel artist Donna Ulisse says her grandmother is the inspiration behind her new song “Don’t Bury This Bible With Me.” She said the the lyrics revolve around a box of items her grandmother left for her.

“Everything I describe, the blanket, her picture, her broken pearls, I have all this stuff.” she said

“The thing that really brought me to my knees when I pulled it out of the box was a white leather Bible that she loved. She just always said I don’t wanna take this with me when i go I want to leave it on this earth. So I wrote he song Don’t Bury this Bible With me, in honor of Miss Martha.”

Don’t Bury this Bible With Me is the second release from Donna’s thirteenth studio album Livin’ Large. The CD is the second released by Billy Blue Records. It’s also the third album she’s produced by the legendary Doyle Lawson.

The Lore family has released a new song fresh off success the group has had with “The World Needs a Song.”

Texas Gospel Canada has added “I bring you Jesus” to the music lineup. The song is co-written by Marcia Henry, Rachel McCutcheon and Darren W. Lore. It’s a song the group often sings at the beginning of a concert.

“Folks immediately respond. I did a generic poll on social media. I asked what song really connected with those who had heard our project. ‘I Bring You Jesus’ was the top song!” said Darren Lore.

“My daughter Fayth sings the verses. My wife Sandy sings the choruses. We know this straight-forward, traditional, Southern-Gospel song has the touch of God on it. Thank you so much for adding this song to your airplay. I know if given spins, it will catch on quickly. A few weeks ago, I had a random phone call from a DJ (Rich Bruce/VA) who found ‘I Bring You Jesus’. He was ecstatic about the song. I trust the same will happen to you and your listeners.”

Listen for “I bring you Jesus” along with your favorite Southern Gospel Music this week on Texas Gospel Canada!

A congregation in the US has few answers as to why someone would smash stained glass windows and steal the altar Bible and a wooden cross.  The damage was discovered Thursday at the Handsboro United Methodist Church in Mississippi.

“Sad to report that the sanctuary was vandalized.  One of our beautiful stained glass windows was broken and the Bible on the altar and wooden cross Mr. Sam Krohn built were taken.  It is unfortunate that people have the nerve to do such a thing to a church,” says a post to the church’s Facebook page.

Pastor John McCay told MagnoliaStateLive that the items stolen were of, “great sentimental value” to the church. WLOX Television reports a vandal or vandals recently damaged other churches in the area.

Police have yet not determined a motive of the person or persons who damaged the church buildings.
