This song gets 5+ stars.... My mothers favorite song may she rest in peace. As soon as I saw this song I added to my favorites it is an amazing song for everyone. Brings tears to my eyes that I can't hear my mother attempt to sing this sing lol but joy to my heart that she is no longer suffering and now resting peacefully. Praise God

[dremanontoppp]

The late great frank Williams music and his group the Jackson southernaires really took gospel to a height. I wish the newer gospel music could still capture the spirit and soul of the traditional gospel music . Frank your music is timeless and I thank god that He had you share you're gift to this sinful unclean world .this music let's me know that god is a god of the living and the holy spirit will get us through these tough times amen

And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

[atlantagradybaby]

great song

[beautifulcandice601]

i wonder did they play that at his funeral ..mississippi all time best

[moproducer]

The imagery that this old hymn puts in my mind is such a vivid, peaceful picture of a quiet river with sloping banks and overhanging trees. Remember that the writer, Fanny J. Crosby, was blind from early childhood. Her imagination must have been inspired.

One of my favorites for as long as I can remember.

[senyah777]

This is my sister's favorite gospel song!!! She's in the kitchen right now about to go up in the spirit and trying to cook breakfast at the same time!!!!!!!!

[charlyn7]

To all of the Body of Christ, I need you to stop defending and arguing with non-believers about the Redemptive Work of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. One thing that is true and will never change, we setrve a risen Savior Salvation is a gift from God. He does not force it on anyone. Let us continue to serve Him and show the world who He is by our lifestyles.. God Himself provided reconciliation for the world, if men do not care to receive it, go on and continue to pray for those who will.

[ajbellow]

Preach!!!!

[danie716]

OMG... Thank you Jesus... I just wanna be near the cross

[mrsmaclove]

my fav miss. mass song it is so uplifting when ever i am going thru just listening to this and thinking of how when i get 2 heaven there will be no more sorrow, nothing but joy when i am in the land of milk and honey with GOD

[1twinkeR]

i am saddened to hear that u feel that way. and my reason in saying so is because Jesus died for OUR sins so that we wouldnt have to. if we were our own savior, there would never be any problem, however, we live in the world and in flesh, and as long as that exists, sin exists as well. I am more than glad and ecstatic that I have a God and Jesus who loved ME so much and cared enough to be tormented for my sake. That has nothing to do with justice, but PERFECT LOVE and MERCY.

[1twinkeR]

furthermore, bad things happen to good people, and good things happen for bad people. God is the greatest and most righteous judge, and i know that i don't have to wait til i die to receive my rewards. and God's punishment is not to condemn and embarrass, but to bring repentance and change us for the better because he loves me. i don't know what you've experienced in the past, but you don't know my Savior, but i pray that you will. and if u don't want to, u have a free will to do as you please.

[dbookin]

I wouldnt waste my time trying to reason with and individual like sahabji.

This the type of person who think its acceptable to fly airplanes into building

[sahabji]

I see you are intimidated and totally speechless against my reasoning!

[sahabji]

According to your christian philosophy, A person who had spent his life with peace and good will find himself in hell just because he doesn't believe in your "Jesus the savior".

On the other hand, a rapist, a murderer will find himself in heaven just because he believed in your" Jesus the savior"

I call it Th Perfect Nonsense.

[dbookin]

And what I call you I cant post on You Tube

[sahabji]

Everybody in the world does some good and some bad. Here is what common sense, wisdom and logic says: You will get the reward for your good acts & deeds you did. And You will get the punishment for the bad and sins you did.

It doesn't matter whether you are white or black, believer or non believer. You are going to judged by your Acts and deeds

It is Called the Perfect Justice!

I call your religion Paganism by which Gandhi will be burned in hell just because he doesn't believe in your Jesus.

[bob123fl]

I'm just jumping in here, and I'll probably forget about this and not check back, but I wanted to make it known that not all Christians believe in an eternal hell, and belief in it is not necessary to be a Christ-follower.

I know that the person who posted this video probably doesn't agree with me, but without getting into a theological debate, I couldn't resist replying to your comments, which are very in line with the thoughts and feelings of many others.

God's peace and love be with you all

[bob123fl]

This was for sahabji, if it wasn't obvious already. =D

[piano970]

@sahabji Who has showed you what perfect justice is -- yourself? don't think so, you're as imperfect as me. Here is the truth; Jesus Christ died on a cross of shame for your sins and mine -- it is without doubt 'Amazing Grace' Just before you take your next breath think of this -- that breath is a gift from God as is every single thing you have. You are not angry -- you are hurt and you want to hurt back -- Jesus loves you and you can never change him -- he can and will change you, talk to him.

[davidalan1967]

The Mississippi Mass Choir will always be remembered for recording this song. My favorite song by these great singers.

[f00dnetwork]

im 30 years old. I remember when I was a little boy, and my mom, and aunt use to take me to church. the annointing that is on the older songs, you dont find it anymore. i can listen to these songs, and somehow, i feellike jesus himself is saying, it will be ok,, if we would only keep looking to jesus, the author, and finisher of our faith, it takes your breath away.

[myronkelly67]

i hear u...the kirk frankilins and the bb and cc winans couldnt fo it like this. this song is simple, just like our salvation.

[Fman8326]

I agree with you 100%. Something about old songs that move me in ways newer songs can't.

[RandyMayer]

simply beautiful

[brodgersunc]

i think that I just ran across the room!

My mom is gone, but God is still there

[1twinkeR]

[Investress]

[kyyzurri]

Rest! Everlasting Rest! YES JESUS!

[Denisepage28]

thank you. thank you. I heard the choir do this at GMW in New Orelans shortly before Frank Williams passed.

I edited a version for my daughter's choreographer and together they produced an award winning dance number in a secular dance world. so many non believers were moved to know more about Him. Thank you. forever my favorite version of my favorite song.

[brimitch22]

This song always gets me shouting! Praise be to the Most High God. Keep on ministering through the songs that have brought us over.

[zlahc]

jeffgard99, keep holding on to God's unchanging hand. You will see mother again, most of all, you'll see Jesus Christ and God face to face forever. I know I have a witness!

[jeffgard99]

My mother play this song alot, now she is with the LORD JESUS rightnow, Ooooo !!!how i miss her, 2006 some of my heart died with her, I'm so thankful for GOD promise, that i will see her again.

[1twinkeR]

God can revive! I believe that God will restore a new heart in you, and give you inner strength that you couldn't imagine. I pray that "Lord continue to keep your child, and let this person not look to the left nor right, but to you Daddy".

God promises are true and never changing! I'm expecting to see some of my family members too :0)

[veryInquisitive1]

This song has been a favorite since I was a child.I was sick and so tired for so long, but now I truly know that He will give you rest. BELIEVE and you shall RECIEVE!

[vowoyele]

I find solace in this song. I wonder sometimes if Pastor Williams sang it so soulfully because he knew he would get rest,shortly after this cd was released. I BELIEVE he has rest now.

[nanea007]

does anyone know or have the song in the midst of the storm with a female singing it? i know its very old and i used to hear it as a child

[ThedrickG]
