KJ, thanks for this. I have this LP and like it enough to keep. I especially like the more uptempo track #6.

CHILDREN OF THE DAY - Come To The Waters
(Maranatha HS 777/2) 1971 MP3@192
Reissued on Light Records – LS-5713 in 1976
Children Of The Day are definitely up there near the top as my favorite American folk-rock group. It’s no wonder the Maranatha folks selected them for the first full-length debut on their fledgling label. Going beyond just the guitar and vocal
harmonies that often characterized early Jesus music, this guy/gal foursome
(Peter Jacobs, Marsha Carter/Stevens, Wendy Carter, Russ Stevens) successfully weaved in such instruments as piano, harpsichord, woodwinds and strings and made it all work without sounding syrupy. The song-writing is exceptional,
the arrangements unique and the harmonizing immaculate. Never humdrum, with lots of variety, from stirring ballads (‘Jesus’) to up-tempo folk-rock (‘Children Of The Day’, ‘Jesus Lives’) to four-part Bach (‘All Breathing Life’). The slower songs are intensely moving, including the climactic ‘The Search’, the somber ballad ‘As
A Child’ and the joyful opener ‘New Life’. Mostly original material, plus a cover of Love Song’s ‘Two Hands’. And of course there’s Marsha’s ‘For Those Tears I Died’ which has become a classic “golden oldie” of the Jesus movement. A great
beginning for a great band.
