Song words "Boundless Love..Unending Joy...this is my life..its what I know..". Im finding Dianne Wilkinson but not 100 percent sure. Need who wrote this, what year, who originally performed, was it on someones album. When was the song released and under what label. Does anyone know who wrote “Boundless Love”.

The Ability to appeal to the masses through mathching songs to artist, but to me there is no no real ministry there, in my opinion. Gerald crabb has the ability to touch a heart, as does Dottie Rambo, Ronnie Hinson, Larry Petree and others. There is a difference in an ability to match songs to groups, and having an anointing to write. Oooooh it's just an opinion calm down. Perhaps the overlooking of songwriters is due to the fact that there are a kazillion songs in southern gospel that sound absolutely identical. When are we going to have some people throw out something ORIGINAL, and unique. It's pretty bad when "Red Letter Day" is a smash, how shallow we've become. But then again, opinions are like armpits, everybody has 2 and they stink. Phill Cross is another “commercial” songwriter.

You must not be familiar with the following symbol: :o) That's an internet "grin," which means the writer is joking. Note that I placed one of those after my comments about Marty. Belinda,

Both sites were instrumental in educating me to the music of Southern Gospel since coming from the "dark" side of CCM! It just didn't seem like something you'd say. My bad for being pissy and taking the low road about your encyclopedia. I'm sure it's a good read... bubba "takin' it like a grown man" smith David,

Talking with him and those that travelled with him he was extremely genuine and had a presence on stage, as a soloist especially, that could hold an audience like no other soloist that I have seen. Now THERE'S a tribute project that would be tough to narrow down to about 10 to 12 songs. The other writer that has had a tremendous influence in my life would be Squire Parsons.

I think she might've had what Gloria Gaither at first had, the assumption from many people that her name was on there due to marriage, not contributions. Perhaps an interesting topic would be spouses who work together. I know Roger and Debbie Bennett did.

They had such amazing chemistry, as collaborators. I actually heard some things she wrote later that were quite good -- don't know why she didn't stay in the business, I think she would have done very well.

That would be very interesting to me. Back to Phil Cross, a couple of other songs that he either wrote or co-wrote were "Wedding Music" (I believe he co-wrote that one with Kirk Talley) and "Saved To The Uttermost". Those are a couple of classics.
