| Walk With Me is always a great song to me. There's something about those lyrics that kept me listening to that song over and over again....
Julie my child Why do you run? Why have you turned away from me? You say it’s hard To live perfectly And all you can see Is how you fail me constantly You fail me constantly You fail me constantly
My blood has cleaned you Your sins are remembered no more So come on, and walk with me
Julie my child I’ve set you free For I want you to be with me eternally I love you so I want you to know That I’m the one who’s calling you home Calling you home Calling you home
My blood has cleaned you Your sins are remembered no more So come on, and walk with me My blood has cleaned you Your sins are remembered no more So come on, and walk with me _________________ My Christian Metal Website......... Silence Is Madness

| I voted Behold. I've always felt that the Whitecross ballads were a bit substandard. | |

| I think the best one they ever did in relation to music, fitting Scott's voice, writing, etc. is "Angel's Disguise". I love that tune! _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |

| Years ago when I first listened to "Walk With Me" I was very touched by this song and filled in my own name. That made it special. | |

| I voted Walk With Me as well. Angel's Disguise would be a close second in my mind. | |

| In America/In the Kingdom, isn't that the same song?. I would probably vote for Behold in the metal era version of WhiteCross. They had a song on the Equilibrium album called "Windows" that was pretty good. It was penned by Billy Smiley and I think Mark Gershmel as well. Which means it was probably a WhiteHeart throw away track that WhiteCross recorded. | |

| "None of the above" wasn't listed, so I picked "Other" instead Seriously, I think most Whitecross ballads will go down in history as categorically worse than most Stryper ballads, which I thought was statistically impossible. They're not the worst I've ever heard, but certainly they feel "tacked on" to the albums as opposed to truly belonging there. Not until "Flytrap" did I feel the mellower side of Whitecross actually felt somewhat natural. | |

Not until "Flytrap" did I feel the mellower side of Whitecross actually felt somewhat natural. Ditto (almost word for word). I have never been a fan of Whitecross (or Stryper's) ballads. I just don't like Scott's voice on most of them. _________________ "I used to be indecisive.......... Now I'm not sure."

| Didn't Rex sing the lead on Simple Man? I don't care for older Whitecross ballads as much except for Walk With Me. I thought they hit their "ballad stride" on In The Kingdom. - ChosenOne wrote:

Yes! I have always hated that! I couldn't believe that the band and Dez Dickerson actually recorded it. Did it not occur to anyone how much it sounded like ITK?!?!? I don't really care for In America at all. In the Kingdom, on the other hand, was a terrific song. | |

I used to think so, but I don't believe he did. Just another example of why Scott's voice wasn't made for balladry | |

| I don't think Scott was that bad on the ballads. Honestly thou I never really thought he was a great singer. Compared to others from his time like Jamie Rowe, Michael Sweet, Larry Worley, Adam Lee (Crystavox). "Simple Man" was odd in the fact that I to have always thought it was Rex or someone else singing because Scott sounded way different on that song. | |

| I believe that Scott AND Rex sang on that song. In the video for "Simple Man", I seem to remember seeing Rex singing. _________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. https://christianhardmusic.niceboard.com/ | |
