When I was a teenage schoolboy I used to make audio tape recordings from my transistor radio. However, when I was in the middle of my eighth C90 cassette all bar one were stolen and I often think back with regret at snippets of songs I can just about recall and wonder what they were. One such example is a song I taped from the 10 pm radio programme "Sounds of the Seventies" in late 1973/ early 1974. I think it's possible that all the songs in the programme that night were by just one band, because they all seemed a bit in the same genre with a religious tone. The lyrical part of one song I am looking for is something like this:
Verse - We will go to church from time to time, following our great creator
Chorus - Happy in the Lord, blessed morning, happy in the Lord......
That's all I can recall, but assuming the title was "Happy in the Lord", I just did a google search and came up with this:

So it would seem that the group were Fat Grapple, though it would be good to have this confirmed. Another song in that show, very probably also by Fat Grapple, that I can find no info on at all, or even a title, has these lyrics in the chorus:
Oh, give me a bottle of wine
Oh, give me a loaf of bread
Oh, give me the words Jesus said
Cos if he's dead then I'm alive to live his life instead
If he's dead then I'm alive to live his life instead
It would be satisfying to get confirmation of these songs and possibly obtain them again somehow. I will leave them both on the same thread as they are linked and one may help with the finding of the other.
