"Uncloudy Day"- ERS Sanctuary Choir

[br1s1ngstr]

I miss this type of singing which I used to enjoy as a memer of of the old Greater Traveler's Rest MissionaryBaptist Church. The last of the great ministering and gospel singing when Rev. Shepherd knew how to relate to the congregation on their level like Jesus did in the Bible and welcomed in the Holy Spirit. He was the Father Figure of them all where you could feel the love. I know he is enjoying God's presence as this song is telling the story.

Leader did a beautiful job on the song. May God continue to use you.

[MethodistPreacher]

It is awesome how God works through cultures, lyrics, and renditions. This Gospel Song is based on the hymn, 'Uncloudy Day" "O They Tell Me of a Home"...to hear both versions with the same words (with slight changes) is WOW...The hymn version was written by a white hymnist and within the European tradition...but, when it enters the black Church culture it becomes purely Black Gospel...that's the history of most Gospel Songs... and we must thank God for speaking to the original lyricist.

@MethodistPreacher Yes it is awesome. What shock me was when someone told me that Amazing Grace was written by a white slave owner.

[brienbartley09]

this song is a blessing...!

Monica Jackson did a good rendition of this song.

[uprayup]

Verse 1

Oh, they tell me of a home

Far beyond the skies

Oh, they tell me of a home

So far away

Yes, they tell me of a home

Where no storm clouds rise

Oh, they tell me

Yes, they tell me

Of an uncloudy day

[kenndogg]

@uprayup thx for the clear lyrics!!!!!!

[uprayup]

Chorus (Oh) Oh, they Tell me of a home Where my loved ones gone (Oh) Oh, they Tell me of a land Bright and fair So far away (Where) Where (the) the tree of life Sheds its fragrance through the air Oh they tell me of an uncloudy day

[uprayup]

Bridge:

Oh they tell me of a King in His beauty; beauty there

And they tell me that mine eyes

Shall behold where he sits on the throne

That is whiter than snow

In that city made of gold

Oh, they tell me of an uncloudy day

[kdfelton]

The first time I heard this song is when I was a kid growing up in NJ. The Liberated Gospel Choir of Rutgers University used to kill it. Esau Courtney III was the musician and Joe Lee was one of the directors in the early 80s. Thanks for the post.

My God! This song tears my contemporary church up.Just goes to show that Classics will never die. My pastor will request this song at least once a month and the entire mother board and the choir goes in!
