Words and Music by Virgil P. and Blanche Kerr Brock n uring a revival service in 1918 the Brocks heard an inspiring testimony by a Gideon, telling of his joy in recently leading a friend and his entire fam ily to Christ. During the testimony he kept repeating the phrase, “ Oh, He’s a wonderful Saviour to me!” Early next morning the Brocks wrote words and music of the song which is now a revival fa vorite. Blanche Kerr entered Christian service in her youth — playing and singing in union evangelistic meetings. Later, after a brief pe riod as a schoolteacher, she took musical training in Chicago and Indianapolis. She married V irgil P. Brock (whom she had known in college), and together they be came quite successful in the work of evangelism — preaching, play ing, singing and writing songs. W idely known as “ The Singing Brocks,” they made their home in Indianapolis. Stormy weather threatened the success of a union youth rally which the Brocks were; to conduct in Indianapolis on Thanksgiving Day in 1934. As the time for service approached, Brock con tinually peered out the window , scanning the clouds. Remember ing the poem often recited by Homer Rodeheaver, “ If you sing a song as you go along,” he began humming and soon found himself improvising a new chorus. Mrs. Brock went to the piano, and to gether they formulated the now- popular “ Sing And Smile And Pray,” introducing it at the Thanksgiving service. “ Beyond The Sunset” was writ ten in 1936, inspired by the sight of a gorgeous sunset over W inona Lake, Ind. — while the Brocks were assisting Rodeheaver in his School of Music there; the song is enjoying rapidly increasing p o p u la r it y . A n o t h e r favorite Brock composition is “ Resting In His Love,” which they wrote in 1928.
