Contemporary Christian Music from 1976.
Way back in the Mid 1970's, before 'Contemporary Christian' was even a genre, a group of folk in Merseyside, UK, were exploring how playing the music they liked fitted in with the things they believed. Amongst them were a band called Celebration, who never made an album, played a few concerts (Mostly in 1977.. but the very first in 1976.. hence the name "Celebration - 1976 - revisited") and then went their different ways. Band Members (at various times) included Tim Rawe, Paul and Dave Maylor, Alison Battey, Yvonne Bridge, Paul Winn, Kevin Mercer, Eli, Chris Knowles, Graham Marshall, Rob Fisher and myself Adrian. Don't expect much in the way of recording quality here... it's rough and ready, recorded on the fly and is was it is... great memories of times gone by. As said at the start... this stuff dates back to the mid-1970's. I was a new Christian, 19 years old, not sure where life was heading or even how who I was fitted in with being part of a church community. I remember there were those who told me that Christian Rock music would never catch on and I should pursue other musical directions. These days Contemporary Christian music outsells many other genres. Sure hope you enjoy these blasts from the past!

Story behind the song
A song that expresses my desire for others, particularly those closest to me, to experience the wonderful salvation, grace and love that can come to them through Jesus Christ.
Lyrics
Song for a Friend Adrian J Pratt 1974 Oh friend of mine, please listen to me There's someone I've been praying for you to meet Oh friend of mine, you've been ignoring Him for too long So I pray that He'll speak to you Through this song These words weren't written just for me They're to tell you of someone Who wants to make you free If you feel that He is speaking to you Don't try and hide from Him He died for you Oh friend of mine, please listen to me There's someone I've been praying for you to meet Oh friend of mine, it could be that we haven't got long So I pray that He'll speak to you Through this song He gave His life as a sacrifice on your behalf So that through Him you can come to know God Through Him God chose to bring you to Himself Making peace through the blood shed on the Cross He's waiting, to come throught to you If you'll ask Him into your heart Reach out and tell Him, You'd like to know Him, And that you'd like to make a new start Reach out and tell Him, You'd like to know Him, He'll give your liffe a new start If you feel right now He is speaking to you Then I just pray you'll let His Spirit break through If you believe He was indeed the Son of God Then ask Him to come and fill your heart with His love Oh friend of mine, thanks for listening to me I hope you'll meet the person I've been praying for you to see Oh friend of mine, you've been ignoring Him for too long Oh Jesus loves you And wants to teach you a new song.
