“Closin’ Time is the voice of a man who has spent a lifetime believing that the message he sang as a young man still matters today.”
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, amid cultural upheaval, political unrest, and a generation searching for meaning, an unexpected spiritual awakening began to spread across America. It became known as the Jesus Movement.
Faith moved beyond traditional church settings into beaches, coffeehouses, college campuses, storefronts, parks, and large outdoor gatherings. Preachers spoke plainly about repentance, forgiveness, salvation, and a personal relationship with Jesus. The message was direct, passionate, and understandable to young people who often felt disconnected from society’s institutions. Young people began talking about Jesus. Not religion. Not tradition. Jesus.
And then there was the music. Guitars, drums, and tambourines filled the stages, carrying with them the authentic spirit of revival. These musicians sang with conviction about a story they believed the world needed to hear. The music was fresh, but the message was timeless.
Bubba Chambers was one of those young musicians. He found Jesus more than fifty years ago, and today he is still singing that same essential message—now from the perspective of a lifetime. In his new release, Closin’ Time, you can hear the urgency he preached and sang about during the Jesus Movement years. It is the uncomplicated message of the love of God, the forgiveness found in Christ, and the power of God to change a life.
More than fifty years have passed, but the invitation remains the same.
