Artist Biography
Pastor Brady L. Blade, Sr. by Barbara Beaird
BRADY L. BLADE, SR. WAS CALLED TO PASTOR THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH IN SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA ON SEPTEMBER 5, 1961.
SINCE THEN, HE HAS DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS WITH ANYONE THAT MIGHT HAVE THE EAR AND DESIRE TO LISTEN.
GIVEN THE GIFT OF VOICE TO RENDER BOTH SERMON AND SONG, MAKING IT PLAIN THROUGH PARABLES AND LIFTING HYMNS OF PRAISE.
THE HALLELUJAH TRAIN SERVES AS A MUSICAL METAPHOR THAT PLACES US ALL ON THE PLATFORM OF LIFE, WAITING, WATCHING AND LISTENING FOR THE COMING OF THAT SANCTIFIED IRON HORSE TO STOP ON IT'S COURSE, PICK US UP AND CARRY US ON DOWN THE LINE.
THERE IS AMAZING GRACE IN THIS WORLD.
AT TIMES, THERE WILL BE TROUBLE IN THE WAY, BUT AS ANOTHER NIGHT BECOMES DAY, WE WILL SHARE OUR DREAMS AND EXPERIENCES ON OUR TRIP SO FAR.
BY DOING THIS, PERHAPS WE WILL FEEL LESS LIKE STRANGERS HERE, TRAVELING THROUGH THIS BARREN LAND.
SURELY, HE'S ABLE TO CARRY US THROUGH AS WE SING ALONG WITH JOY IN OUR HEARTS.
Brady L. Blade Sr. is Pastor of The Zion Baptist Church in Shreveport, LA.
