Gary L. Mabry- Sir, its a pleasure to sing this song. For the past 40 years my church- since I was 10 years old- has tortured your song by our lame attempts at singing it. May God bless you for providing us with such a wonderful song!- Larry, near Tacoma, WA
I LOVE how sweet and precious the Hillbilly view of God is. It is innocent and simple just like very small children. This would be a great song for vacation bible school.
wear is Jesus in your body? are you in jesus' body? do you know? Don't hope God is on Your side, pray, and study His Word to learn how to be on God's Side!

@julierbd One of the best parts of being a member of the Lord's church is knowing you can go pretty much anywhere in the world and find your brothers and sisters!
Everyone who is reading this comment, please click on my username for my videos I made about the The Truth of the World.

No more living in false reality, no more living in illusions, no more thinking there is no way out......its time to lead your life into The Truth of the World!!!!!!!!!
Yay! This song takes me back to Camp Manatawny, Jerry & Fern Hill and the entire Riverhead coC of the 70's. It still pops into my head, spontaneously & I break out in song!
Hey Gary this is Greg Fisk you probably do not remember me we met while I was in high school my dad preached at San Angelo Johnson st church and then at the Cleburne Central Church. I love this song and to this day I find myself singing it while driving, when I am sad, when I am happy, it just pops in my head. It is one of the most memorable song of my life, catchy tune and easy to sing, with a great message.
o my the writer commented on this... wow... i went to the cincinnati church of christ as a kid, im 23 now, i still remember all the words and sing this song when im down or just giddy, i really really thank you for posting
Thank you for sharing this song I wrote back in 1971 via internet. I wrote it on a transAtlantic flight returning from a Campaign for Christ led by Stanley Shipp. I was a student at Abilene Christian at the time and was worship leader at the Highland Church of Christ. I am so glad that the song is continuing to bless worshippers. God Bless, Gary L. Mabry
WOW Gary! I never even considered the idea that the writer would hear this. It is an honor for you to post. I have written 3 hymns. Your post inspires me to teach the song to the church, record a vid, and post it. thank you so much for writing this song and for posting this comment.
@church0fchrist Hello, I go to a Church of Christ in Central Florida and I was wondering what is the name of the hymn book you all are singing out of. We're considering getting some new ones. Thanks in advance and God bless :)
Have such wonderful memories of singing this song along with my two daughters and their many many friends. Quite unexpectedly, I lost my oldest when she was 17 1/2. This was sung at her funeral at the request of her younger sister age 8. It warms my heart every time I hear it sung. Bless You!!
I remember vividly singing this songs as a child. It is one of my favorites.
