FREEDOM ROAD - Len Magee

THIS UPLOAD IS A TRIBUTE TO LEN MAGEE. In the eighties, as a young Christian, Len's music had helped me grow in my spiritual life. His songs are like good sermons, his lyrics are testimonies of God's peace, love，joy and power, enriching to the listener, empowering and encouraging. The following is adapted from his official website, written by his very own sister: Len Magee, Christian singer and song writer，lives on the Gold Coast of Australia, where he and his wife, Heather, pastor a small fellowship. Although Len produced most of his music between 1973 and 1981, many people have still not forgotten the impact his ministry had on their spiritual lives. His music became well known in Christian circles around the English speaking world. God took a suicidal, hippy drug addict and turned him into a man who lives to preach the Gospel. The seven year old child sent from his home and family to the other side of the world where he was raised in an institution, became, through the grace of God, a minister, teacher and pastor, as well as a loving husband and father. The deep pain and great joys of Len's life resonate through the words of his songs, which are still quoted today; but more importantly, his honesty allows God's Spirit to communicate deep truths to the listener. His is the kind of music that is easy to listen to and impossible to forget. Whilst it will warm the hearts of those of us old enough to remember it from the first time around, the discerning younger listeners will also find it engaging.
