San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Dismay in the world of Christian music. Singer Jaime Murrell died in Miami on Thursday February 4.
The news has caused grief to thousands of evangelicals and people around the world who have followed the music of the singer of Panamanian descent for 45 years, known for songs that set trends for their themes that call for peace in the nations.
Below we make a compilation of his successes that will now make him a legend.
1. I ASK YOU FOR PEACE
Perhaps Jaime Murrel’s most famous song. In this song, the singer prays for peace in the city and asks God for forgiveness for the city’s wickedness. This number has been used in hundreds of peace campaigns in Honduras and various Central American countries.
2. I WANT MORE FROM YOU
This song was used in the campaign of American writer Rick Warren with his book A Purpose Driven Life. Now it is a current song in hundreds of evangelical churches.
THIS IS YOUR LOVE
One of the last songs Jaime Murrel recorded, but released at the beginning of his career. In this version he sang with the young Christian singer Kike Pavón in his album called “Ayer y Hoy”.
4. OH HOUSER OF SION
One of the favorite songs in the Christian environment. This version gained popularity in its version of Murrell’s 25-year career. A curious fact is that it had a violin accompaniment from the Honduran musician Héctor David.
5. GREAT ARE YOUR WONDERS
Thousands have sung. Wonderful are your wonders in all speaking Spanish. Jaime Murrell recorded this song together with Marcos Witt in the 90s, but did a remix in its 25 years.
