Ain't God Good - Thursday Recap of Silver Dollar City's Southern Gospel Picnic

Wednesday night was the Second Half Quartet and the good news is that all of the members were back in the park on Thursday. I got the chance to see the Mark Trammell Quartet, Pat Barker and Greater Vision before heading down to Echo Hollow to see Ernie Haase and Signature Sound. Here's a look at highlights from the day -


The Mark Trammell Quartet

• "Leave Your Sorrows"
• "Treasures in Heaven" 
• "I Know" - Nick did a great job on this song! This is one from their new project, which releases today. 
• "The King Is Coming" - No one does this song better than this group!
• "He Hideth My Soul"
• "Echoes From the Burning Bush" - They joined new piano player Trevor Conkle around the keyboard for this song with just the keys backing them up. 

Pat Barker

• "Ain't God Good"
• "How Big Is God" - Of course he received several requests for this song. He said it was 10 years ago when he first sang that song at Silver Dollar City on the stage where he was yesterday.
• "I Can See (Emmaus Road)" - Such an incredible song!! He shared a bit of his testimony and what the song meant to him now.
• Request time - Pat took time just to hear what people wanted him to sing or answer questions. He sang a cappella verses and choruses of several songs like "Amazing Grace," "The Lighthouse" and "Because He Lives." 
• "Thanks to Calvary"

Greater Vision

• "There Is Hope" - Great one they started with from Still.
• "God Doesn't Care" - Love this song also from their new project! It's a song that Chris wrote.
• "My Name Is Lazarus" 
• "He's Still Been God" - They ended with this one that you could tell the audience still loved hearing!

Ernie Haase and Signature Sound

• "Some Day"
  
• "Noah Found Grace" - Even if it might not be Devin's favorite song, it's one the audience loved hearing. 
• "Give Me Jesus" - This is a song that Fanny Crosby wrote lyrics to but was only recently found. 
• "Sometimes I Wonder" - So glad to hear them staging this song again!
• "A Soldier Coming Home" 
• "Then Came the Morning" - This was the moment of the night for me!! Ernie said it had been a while since they had sung this one, but it was incredible!
• "Step Into the Water"
• "Heavenly Parade" - It's good to hear them doing a lot of these older gospel songs. 
• "Draw Me Nearer" - They put an EHSS spin on this Fanny Crosby classic.
• "Any Other Man"
