As I am writing this, I am listening to the musical stylings of Ray Boltz, and in particular, “Another Child To Hold.” That song moved me, way back, when I first heard it, and still continues to move me, I daresay, every time I hear it.
The chords, the words… The lyrics are simple enough to aim straight for the heart, the music has a complexity to its composition enough to stimulate the senses, opening up the heart and mind to the message. Not all musicians can accomplish this. Ray Boltz is a rarity, able to gently speak to the soul, and express the love to and for humanity.

Ray Boltz is also one of the various artists contributing to God with Us: A Celebration of Christmas Carols & Classics, which won the 1997 award for Special Event Album.

Thanks for pointing that out, Angel. Yes, I notice that Ray Boltz won, along with other artists at doveawards.com. Of course, he is an exceptional musician with or without the award 🙂 Thanks, for sharing. hugs, D
