The middle period - John Hubbard (vocals & lead guitar), Derrick Phillips (vocals & rhythm guitar), Don Sanders (bass guitar), Ian Wilkie (drums and some vocals)

The late period - Tony Goodman (vocals, electric guitar & harmonica), Ian Wilkie (Drums), Don Sanders (bass guitar), Derrick Phillips (acoustic guitar)

Any time of the day
Don't you think it's time?
Heaven's the place for me (v2)
Heard it all before
Hey You!
I didn't care

Thank you Lord
There's someone in your life
Think it over (v2)
Wait and see
What are you doing with your life?
Who's your Lord?
