Tell It Like It Is with Roy Cox

 When I was a senior in high school, my dear friend Roy Cox along with our First Baptist Church Sebring Florida youth group performed the 1970’s folk musical “Tell It Like It Is.” It was such a spiritual milestone in my life, standing up for my faith before secular audiences. 

One year when I posted this on Facebook, Roy shared such a heartfelt comment about what this experience meant to him. I wholeheartedly agree with Roy.  In 2020, Roy went home to be with Jesus, and now his faith has become sight. Oh, how we look forward to that day!

Here are the lyrics from one of the inspiring songs, “Pass It On”…

It only takes a spark to get a fire going 

And soon all those around, can warm up in glowing.

That’s how it is with God’s love

Once you’ve experienced it, you spread His love to everyone

You want to pass it on.

What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding.

The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming.

That’s how it is with God’s love

Once you’ve experienced it, 

you want to sing

“It’s fresh like spring”; 

you want to pass it on.

I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I’ve found.

You can depend on Him, it matters not where you’re bound.

I’ll shout it from the mountain top

I want the world to know; the Lord of love has come to me,

I want to pass it on.
