A film about the life and ministry of Pastor Brady L. Blade, Sr.
CALLED TO PASTOR THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH IN SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA ON SEPTEMBER 5, 1961.
SINCE THEN, HE HAS DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO SHARING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS WITH ANYONE THAT MIGHT HAVE THE EAR AND DESIRE TO LISTEN. GIVEN THE GIFT OF VOICE TO RENDER BOTH SERMON AND SONG, MAKING IT PLAIN THROUGH PARABLES AND LIFTING HYMNS OF PRAISE THAT TELL OF A SPIRITUAL JOY IN THIS LIFE, BUT AN EVEN GREATER INHERITANCE BEYOND THESE EARTHLY BONDS.
THE HALLELUJAH TRAIN SERVES AS A MUSICAL METAPHOR THAT PLACES US ALL ON THE PLATFORM OF LIFE, WAITING, WATCHING AND LISTENING FOR THE COMING OF THAT SANCTIFIED IRON HORSE TO STOP ON IT'S COURSE, PICK US UP AND CARRY US ON DOWN THE LINE.
THIS IS ONLY ONE STOP OF MANY, BRINGING US ALL ON BOARD TO SEE CREATION UNFOLDING BEFORE OUR
EYES. THAT LONESOME WHISTLE BLOWING TO THE TUNE OF SALVATION AND SONGS OF REDEMPTION.
THERE IS AMAZING GRACE IN THIS WORLD.
AT TIMES, THERE WILL BE TROUBLE IN THE WAY, BUT AS ANOTHER NIGHT BECOMES DAY, WE WILL SHARE OUR DREAMS AND EXPERIENCES ON OUR TRIP SO FAR. BY DOING THIS, PERHAPS WE WILL FEEL LESS LIKE STRANGERS HERE, TRAVELING THROUGH THIS BARREN LAND.
SURELY, HE'S ABLE TO CARRY US THROUGH AS WE SING ALONG WITH JOY IN OUR HEARTS.
