Good question. DFTMC makes no mention of either the artist or the song as far as I can see [[so perhaps it became a Jobete song after the time frame of DFTMC).

This UK London single shows the writers as Gray and Byrd - Robert Byrd was also Bobby Day.

As a very wild guess, I know that Gary Byrd & The G.B. Experience had a single issued by Motown [["The Crown") in 1983 - perhaps there's some kind of link there through the Byrds.
