The Perrys

The Perrys are a professional Southern gospel quartet based in Gallatin, Tennessee. The group formed on December 25, 1970 with Randy Perry and his sisters Debbie and Libbi in Georgia. In the mid-1980s, the group signed with former pianist for the Happy Goodman Family, Eddie Crook on his Morning Star Records label. Libbi met and married Tracy Stuffle who would become the group's bass singer. Debbie left the group to rear her family and the Perrys were joined by soprano singer Denise Helton. During this time the Perrys experienced enormous growth in their popularity with such songs as "Get Involved", "We Shall Reign", "I Remember The Day", "The Mountain", "He Knows How", "Royal Descendant", "Grace", "The Rock of Ages", and "Look What I'm Trading for a Mansion"… more »

Well a woman was healed when she touched the hem of his clothes
That's just one of those stories that everybody knows
Oh I know the facts but I'd love to feel 
What the blind man felt when his eyes were healed
He went running through the streets to share

I wish I could have been there
When the thousands were fed with just two fish and some bread and see the little boy a packin' up the rest 
I wish I could have been there
To see the lame that could leap and hear the dumb that could speak and see the multitudes of people Jesus blessed
I wish I could have seen the stone that went a rollin' away when they looked inside the door to where the grave clothes lay
I didn't see but I believe that he ascended in the air
And I really wish I could have been there

When He commanded Lazarus to walk right out of His grave
And in a Galilean storm He started calming the waves
I wanna feel that breeze blowing on my face
I wanna know the smell I wanna taste the taste
Just reading 'bout it couldn't compare
