Today’s featured band was inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame in 2010. Despite numerous top songs and albums, White Heart never received a Grammy or won a Dove Award. Nonetheless, White Heart’s debut in 1982, 13 albums and their sound gives off vibes of Whitesnake as well as that classic rock and roll of the 1980’s.
And when you spread forth your hands [in prayer, imploring help], I will hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood! 16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes! Cease to do evil, 17 Learn to do right! Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool, Isaiah 1:15-18.
Due to the limited access to Christian Rock music as a teenager, I never discovered White Heart until college. While the Powerhouse album is the first cassette I purchased, the song Invitation drew me toward White Heart’s music. If you’re a big fan of rock music from the 1980’s, I think you’ll enjoy listening to White Heart this week.
