When I was first introduced to the Pentecostal experience,
I heard a song on the radio that deeply ministered to me:
WILLING
It is no sacrifice to work for you,
'just don't see where living for you could be enough
--I'm willing to do anything I can,
willing when I don't even understand,
I'm willing when there's a price that must be paid,
willing to do anything that You say,
Willing though the pain
of loneliness I must bear,
I'm willing to give myself anytime,
or anywhere, I'm willing--see, Lord,
this day your child is willing."

That was in the early 1980's, and the song was called
"Willing." It was written and sung by Nancy Grandquist. I discovered as
a young Christian, that her keyboard-based music works its way into your
heart and won't let go. Today, Nancy Grandquist has been writing and singing
for more than 25 years.
Some consider her one of the pioneers of Jesus
Music, but she is still making music. Her songs have been recorded
by Tanya Goodman Sykes, Larnelle
Harris, Helen Baylor, The
Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Christ
Church Choir, Stormie Omartian, Babbie
Mason, Truth, Nor Cal Mass
Choir, JCM Mass Choir, CLC Mass Choir
and the list goes on and on. Former President Bill Clinton specifically
requested her song, "The Prayer Chorus" to be sung at the 1992 inaugural
prayer breakfast.
Nancy Grandquist has performed around the world. If you
ever get the opportunity to hear this United Pentecostal Church Pastor's
wife and mother--who resides in Mountain View California--I would encourage
you not to miss this enthusiastic, exuberant, thankful lady.
