Day By Day© by Chris Muir.Sunday, May 11, 2008
I learned today that one of the greats of gospel music has died. Dottie Rambo died when her tour bus overturned about 30 miles from here, just outside Mt. Vernon, Missouri on I-44. She was on her way to a Mother's Day concert in Texas. She was 74 years old.
We grew up listening to the music of the Rambos. As a matter of fact, my family used to sing many of their songs in church. She was a brilliant lyricist and the harmony of the family was flawless. Some of the classics she wrote were "Too Much to Gain To Lose", "In the Valley He Restoreth My Soul", "Remind Me, Dear Lord" and my personal favorite, "If That Isn't Love":

He left the splendor of heavenShe will truly be missed.
Knowing His destiny
Was the lonely hill of Golgotha
There to lay down His life for me
And if that isn't love
Then the ocean is dry
There's no stars in the sky
And the little sparrows can't fly
Yeah if that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love
Even in death He remembered
The thief hanging by His side
Then he spoke of love and compassion
And He took him to paradise
And if that isn't love
Then the ocean is dry
There's no stars in the sky
And the little sparrows can't fly
Yeah if that isn't love
Then heaven's a myth
There's no feeling like this
If that isn't love
