Songs In My Pilgrimage
Ronnie W. Wolfe
I
love music. I have been playing piano since I was seven (7) years old. I
had a natural ability to learn music, so I learned on my own with a
little help from friends along the way and by God's wonderful grace.
My
experience as a real pianist began when I was 10 years old. I was asked
by Gum Lick Baptist Church to play for their congregational music. I
did that for about a year. I did not do it well, but they were merciful
and patient.
When I was 17 years old, I left home to go to
Lexington, Kentucky, to business college. There I attended Ashland
Avenue Baptist Church where I met Bro. Bob Jones and listened to the
first Bluegrass Boys Quartet sing. I so enjoyed their music, not
realizing that soon I would be accompanying a trio on piano. That was in
1963.
Since that time my experience with this group has been
hard, interesting, fun, and educational. A few years after we first
began to travel, I began to sing with the group. We have always tried to
sing songs that are Scriptural, that bring glory to God.
Thus,
the Lord's statutes have been my songs here in this house (my flesh) of
my pilgrimage. One day the instrument of piano and voice will be
silenced for me, but then I will continue to sing throughout eternity of
the great grace with which the Lord called me, saved me, kept me,
comforted me, and supplied his word to me from which the sweetest
refrains were received.
