Does anyone know if Gord ever recorded a song that I heard him sing about 20 years ago......I am not absolutely sure of the title of the song, but the one line in it that I can relate to (as Im sure most can) goes like this.. "Forgive me Lord, for I've sinned agian" Powerful stuff.....
I only wish that Gord had more air play here in the states. Heavy sigh*
Have a wonderful day

Hi Cindy,
Gord recorded the song, appropriately titled, "Forgive Me Lord" many years ago, but it went unreleased for a long time. Apparently, the record company had a problem with the song's "religous ramifications" I know its silly, but that's big buisness for ya. Anyway, the song was never put on an album until last year when Gord's box set "Songbook" was released.
"Songbook" if you haven't heard of it, is a 4 CD, 88 song anthology, that chronicles Gordon's career from his early recordings, starting in 1965, through his latest original CD, 1998's "A Painter Passing Through"
The collection contains highlights of Gord's career and includes hits, fan favorites as well as 18 rarities and previously unreleased recordings, one of which is "Forgive Me Lord." The Box Set also contains notes by Gordon himself about each song.
