2018 Southern Gospel Picnic - Silver Dollar City - Day 9

We only have three days left of the 2018 Silver Dollar City Southern Gospel Picnic. I got to see two different groups on Day 9 - the Guardians and the Booth Brothers. This was my first chance to see the Guardians with Pat Barker as their bass.

Here are the highlights of the day -

The Guardians

It was good to hear a lot of their hits I've heard on the radio. The only other time I had ever seen this group live was at NQC last year, so it was good to hear more from them!

• "Packin' Up"
• "What a Day That Will Be"
• "How Big Is God" - Always a treat to hear Pat sing this one. 
• "Somebody Prays" - Loved hearing John Darin Rowsey sing this one. They played the video along with it as they sang. 
• "Woke Up This Morning"
• "Shoutin' Sounds"
• "Lord's Prayer" - Loved hearing the guys sing this one!
• "Who Am I"
• "Keeper of the Lost and Found" - I hadn't heard this one before and what a powerful song!

Booth Brothers

This is not a group I get to hear live very often, but it's always a treat when I do. It was a reminder of why they have been named the favorite group for so many years.

• They sang several hymns from their hymn collection - "Nothing But the Blood," "Holy, Holy, Holy," "Are You Washed in the Blood" and "Oh How I Love Jesus." They ended the night with "Because He Lives."
• "Facts Are Facts"
• "Touch of the Master's Hand"
• "Moment of Grace" - Love hearing Paul sing this one!
• "Look for Me at Jesus' Feet"
• "He Saw It All"
• "Down By the River" 
• "Three Wooden Crosses" - This was a new one to hear them sing live. Michael said they had recently done a Gaither video that featured more country-style songs. 
• "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" - Paul pulled out his black gospel style for this one. 
• "Jesus Saves" - Always a highlight and just a moment of pure worship!
