This simple, yet profound praise
This simple, yet profound praise hymn about Jesus' Second Coming was composed by Mosie Lister in 1974 and is #118 in Lillenas Publishing's 1987 "Master Chorus Book". When I pastored in El Paso for 16 years I taught through the book of Revelation on Sundays 3 different times and we would often sing this chorus at the conclusion of the lesson! Maranatha! Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!
Cochran, Georgia native Mosie Lister was one of Southern Gospel music's most prolific songwriters.
Born on September 8, 1921, Lister was the son of Willis and Pearl Holland Lister. He became a musician at an early age with his father as a teacher, learning to play the violin by the age of twelve. When Lister was eighteen, he attended the Vaughan School of Music in Tennessee where he studied under Adger M. Pace, and G. T. Speer.
Lister began his professional career in 1941 singing with the Sunny South Quartet. After serving in the US Navy during World War II, he returned to the Sunny South Quartet for a while where he sang with bass singer Jim Wetherington.
In 1946, Lister married Wylene Whitten. They relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, where he reunited with Wetherington to form the Melody Masters Quartet. When the Melody Masters left for Nebraska, Lister stayed in Atlanta. He became the lead singer for the first version of the Statesmen with Hovie Lister (no relation) in 1948.
Mosie Lister eventually gave up singing professionally to concentrate on his songwriting. In 1953, he founded Mosie Lister Publishing which would ultimately merge with Lillenas Publishing in 1969. In 1956, the Listers relocated to Tampa, Florida.
By the early 1960s, Lister's songs had been recorded by popular singers including George Beverly Shea ("How Long Has It Been") and Elvis Presley ("His Hand In Mine" and "He Knows Just What I Need"). When Presley released his second gospel album in 1966, it included another song written by Lister ("Where No One Stands Alone").
In 2001, the Booth Brothers recorded "Still Feelin' Fine," a sequel to the classic "I'm Feelin' Fine" that Lister had written years before. The new song helped cement the career path of the Booth Brothers. That same year, Lister's wife, Wylene, passed away after a battle with cancer. Lister would ultimately remarry Martha Hunter, the mother-in-law of Booth Brothers tenor singer Michael Booth.
Lister passed away on February 12, 2015 at the age of 93.
