If this were a sensible sermon it may be along the lines of 'Where can our hearts find their rest? It is an endless quest... until Christ claims us as His own. Then we are satisfied..' But this is not a sermon. It's a rock song. On the rock.

Contemporary Christian Music from 1976.
Way back in the Mid 1970's, before 'Contemporary Christian' was even a genre, a group of folk in Merseyside, UK, were exploring how playing the music they liked fitted in with the things they believed. Amongst them were a band called Celebration, who never made an album, played a few concerts (Mostly in 1977.. but the very first in 1976.. hence the name "Celebration - 1976 - revisited") and then went their different ways. Band Members (at various times) included Tim Rawe, Paul and Dave Maylor, Alison Battey, Yvonne Bridge, Paul Winn, Kevin Mercer, Eli, Chris Knowles, Graham Marshall, Rob Fisher and myself Adrian. Don't expect much in the way of recording quality here... it's rough and ready, recorded on the fly and is was it is... great memories of times gone by. As said at the start... this stuff dates back to the mid-1970's. I was a new Christian, 19 years old, not sure where life was heading or even how who I was fitted in with being part of a church community. I remember there were those who told me that Christian Rock music would never catch on and I should pursue other musical directions. These days Contemporary Christian music outsells many other genres. Sure hope you enjoy these blasts from the past!

Story behind the song
Stylistically the late great Larry Norman (Grandaddy of Christian Rock) may well have been an influence on this one.
Lyrics
Buy your own Concorde (and paint it bright blue) Adrian J. Pratt 1974 Well you can speak about your revolution Write a best selling book on evolution Compose a thesis on phsycopathic powers You can have a plastic hip or be a total bionic Wear platignum sunglasses and look real cosmic You can buy a yacht and holiday in San Tropez But you'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You could own a mansion in Beverly Hills Go and blow your mind out on little purple pills Wear a black tuxedo and look reeally classy You could rule Russia and the U.S.A Make love to a different person every day Bathe in champagne and drink yourself stupid with brandy But you'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus Tell me, why is the world so greedy? When a third of it's people are so needy? And what's all this about loving money? And why is everybody in such a hurry? Now, wait a minute, just slow down People move faster than the world goes around Even with Heinekin you get no satisfaction What? You can't even keep up with the latest fashion? (1,2,3, kick) You can buy your own Concorde and paint it bright blue You can spend your life writing songs, commercial tuines You can own 132 Rolls Royce's You can have the most money, the biggest and the best You can gain the whole world, tattoo 'I am Ace!' across your chest You could be the greatest person in the world. But you'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never get satisfaction without Jesus
