  • Jim was a distant cousin of mine. Died a long time before I was even born, but still cool.

  • SING IT JIMMY

  • oh lord u knw i have knw friend lik u

  • Instead of ranting about Jesus,pick up a guitar and learn to sing this song. You'll win more friends and influence more people.God bless Jim he is missed

  • I know about this song, as a young boy not knowing much about it's deep meaning and about Life and Life there after in general. It looks like it's dad's favorites song. My dad (who is still alive, 70) used to sing it even though he was more of a marxsist/communist then than a believer. He knew ever. Now a devoted christian, still sings this song every now and then. Those of you who lost your loved ones, please take your comfort from the message of the story. may the good Lord comfort you, Amen.

  • Princegary75, I share your pain, I too lost my mother and she loved Jim reeves so much. we never know how much we have until it is taken away. Words can be hollow I know, please take heart my friend, sincerely

  • My dad passed away last week and we grew up listening to his old Jim Reeves records. Listening to His songs makes it seem like my dads still here playing tunes.....miss him so much.

  • The one song I always cherish .....just wonderfully spiritual!

  • @maryline1977 - I know when I listen to Jim Reeves it reminds me of my Dad too..He was my best friend - And I know how it is to lose someone so close. May the God of all comfort- Be with you today and everyday. Don't worry it gets better as it goes by - not that you, forget but it won't sting as much.

  • My parents use to listen to him every Saturday morning. They blasted that turn table - which woke everyone up. The smell of toast, coffee, eggs and Jim Reeves.

  • my pa se groot "favorite" en lank reeds oorlede in 1979. net vir jou Dad !!!

  • yes this world is mine because my LORD JESUS TOLD ME

  • what a song..... this world is not my home... indeed what a Friend I have in Jesus...

  • It always brings sadness when I think of my dear mum she loved all the Jim Reeves songs I miss her very much your are in my thoughts every day that passes your soul will be in my travels to all the wonderful countries we went to and I miss you very much mum

  • de warmste stem die er ooit zal zyn wat een plezier om te beluisteren

  • I want this song sung at my furneral, I want my family to know that I had a good life here with them but now I to go to my Heavely Home. So don't be sad because I wiil be with my Father in Heaven.

  • jim reeve is the best

  • WHOA, cool, makes me want to fight atheists even more 

  • @JVHicks425 I'll join you in that fight. One question though...If there is no God, who would an atheist have not to believe in?

  • Sorry fudgeface91. It breaks my heart that you re not a believer.

  • Amen , Good and Sweet Lord. Forgive us!

  • shame none of it true in reality

  • @fudgeface91 Why are you watching it then fudge, something brought you over here did it not?

  • Played this beautiful, meaningful song at my dear Mom's funeral service a few months ago. No, I can't feel at home in this world anymore!

  • I don`t worry anymore cos i am a visitor of the world. I am worried for my account in heaven. Lord GOD please, welcome me when i come back home. " GIVE ME THE FAITH TO FACE EACH HOUR THROUGHOUT THE DAY, AND NOT TO WORRY OVER THINGS I CAN NOT IN ANY WAY CHANGE" LORD JESUS THINK OF ME

  • who originally wrote this song?? HELP

  • Oh my mum made me love this song and also country music. When I tell my American friends, they are always appalled by the fact that an African knows some of their American songs!

  • thumbs up if crazy spirit brought you here

  • Gospel Truth...

    ~

    10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4

  • My dad made me discovered this great singer. My dad passed away 2 weeks ago, though my heart is bleeding i'll always treasure the wonderful moments we spent together. You're forever in my heart dad

  • @Maryline1977

    So sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my mom and dad in 1990 & 1997. I still miss them terribly. I started playing the fiddle 18 months ago. I just wish they were here to listen. I'm the only one out of 5 children who plays an instrument. I played the guitar a little before I lost them. They loved to listen.

  • @Maryline1977 Bless you heart. My condolences for your loss. You've found a beautiful song to give you some comfort. Between Jim Reeves and Pat Boone, we have been blessed with great comfort.

  • @Maryline1977

    God Bless You, I am a Dad also and its tough ,a lot of worries,Dad does a lot of worrying,

    All He cares about is his kids...

    We are just Dads, and our whole world revolves around our kids...

  • @Maryline1977

    Sorry for your loss, you only have one dad, and he probably cared for you than you can imagine!!

    Please believe Me... It aint easy to be a Dad

  • @Maryline1977 :) He is @ home

  • @Maryline1977 May his soul rest in peace.

  • @Maryline1977 Lol sorry to say but i think every ones heart bleeds :)

  • @Maryline1977 My dad introduced me to jim reeves, although he is still alive, you're comment has made me think to cherish my time left with him. Hope you're cool.

  • I am a sinful man ; (

  • @bruceleefollower

    We are all sinners.

    'Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast The First Stone', Jesus Christ.

    and you know, there was no one, who threw just a single stone, and Jesus didnt want to.

  • @bruceleefollower Jesus is the only one who can help you. Fortunately, He is willing and able, so ask Him.

  • Does anyone know if you can buy this record ?

  • @liketotube I tried a quick search on ebay - 4 hits in UK...

  • This is really good voice and message! Good work done Jim

  • Jim Reeves had the best voice. Sure miss him.

  • thanks for uploading this beautiful number

  • this is the best song i've ever listened to

  • Thanks to God!!

    

  • Yes.He was called to his heavenly abode within days of singing this IMMORTAL song.

  • love this song..

  • we may feel loved ones are taken ' too early' . my sister in law, sisters, brother, partner and nephew all aged between 27 - 41 . The Lord sends us here for a purpose and when HE wants to bring us home He does in HIS time , not ours. Our life is but a blink of the eye out of the presence of God compared to our life in the eternities with Him. I know which one i'd rather choose. Praise God but do not question Him. All will be revealed.

  • @evanruutana JESUS sure is THE GREATEST ONE. HE paid a debt HE did not owe. i owed a debt i could not pay. i NEEDED JESUS to WASH away my sins. THANNNK YOU JESUS FOR LIFE. I owe YOU everything including my very life. PLEASE Help me on the journey to the body change (rapture)

  • It's like they say when you go into an expensive store... if you have to ask you can't afford it. This music is like that, if you don't get it, you don't get it. If you do get it... may the creator of the universe bless and keep you.

  • I am not Christian, and I am actually questioning my religious beliefs right now, but I think no matter what your religion, you can love this song.

  • Such lovely and uplifiting recordings! What a blessing.

  • Certainly one of the GREATEST voices in Country Music's history - gone too soon, Gentleman Jim!

  • one of the great voices...on par with matt monro

  • This is so beautiful and I know it comes straight from the Bible. Thank you Jim.

  • Each time I listen to Jim Reeves' songs, it reminds me of my late father, Nana Baaffour Dwuma who used to love Jim's Godly songs. These inspirational songs from Jim Reeves remind me of how frail I am as a man; and as a result, draw me closer to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May God bless you Jim.

  • Jesus... Can't people just listen to music any more?

  • 1 Corinthians 2:9 - But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

    ..... Works for me

  • oh Jesus you so beautiful....

  • memories love this soooooooooooooooooong!!!!!!!!

  • that played this at my granddads funeral :)

  • The gospel quartet on the old Sunday morning radio show the Old Fashioned Revival Hour, with Chas. E. Fuller, sang this song every week for years. I was always bothered by the idea that earthly life is so awful that we should hope to die to get away from it. I like the song, but I also like earthly life.

  • @Gydinglight12 =

    Nothing wrong at all with enjoying life on earth, but compared to eternity, our time here is but a drop in the bucket! The prudent person understands this fact, and that there's not a thing we can do to punch our ticket to Heaven.

    Are you prepared for your soon departure? I pray you are. If you don't KNOW that you are, I'm only too happy to show you how you can be CERTAIN that Heaven is your destiny.

  • Beautiful song. Thanks for posting !

  • my mom used to play Jim reeves and epecially this album as I was growing up

    as an more mature adult I can really apprecitate it now

    ( then it was "their music" and not at all "cool")

    Nightwatch is another one of his I remember well

  • We miss you Jim..I'm particularyly happy that Jim was able to make a transition from Country to Gospel music towards the end of his career,and his gospel songs were his most greatest contribution throughout his musical carreer...He sings with an inner conviction...The voice has more meaning than the song itself and in this particular song he demonstrated an unwillingness to continue with this miserable life here,and craved and yearned for something higher and nobler.

    We miss you Jim...

  • A god given voice RIP Jim Reeves

  • this song reminds me of the days when I used to travel in the car with my grandfather when I was younger this and Charlie Pride

  • Memories!

  • I have been feeling melancholy all morning but with the greatest appreciation to you other we are able to turn the clock back just for a short time....thank you so much.

  • this is very great good work my friend jim

  • love it

  • love  it

  • Great song...

  • Jimmy you have a real friend Jesus! The best friend ever! You have found your new place in the angel’s choir…

  • I LOVE YOU MY FATHER

  • i love u dad 

  • If god took Jim Reeves so that he could sing to him, why did he not buy the records like the rest of us, and leave him here to carry on singing, how selfish is that?

  • Great people die soon. Elvis, Bob Marley, Che, ......... then they become a legends.

    Jim is a legend

  • @mrmadushanperera  And some (very, very few) become legends before they die.

  • Its what all the saints feel!

  • This song lives forever !! Indeed, this earth is not my home, heaven is my home. Jim Reeves lives forever, he was a gift to mankind. We will meet in heaven someday singing with angels and host of heaven.

  • my son got a houes in good world

  • Never ever will there be another voice as his, Jim Reeves will forever be my most favorite male singer. He was gifted, and I do belive that the Lord Jesus took him home to sing to him in heaven; God Bless you Jim Reeves and your wonderful wife!

    Praise the Lord to be able to live and hear your sweet, sweet music. I am 54 years old and have been listening to you since I was little; my mother had all your albums. Your voice is a miracle, thank you Jim Reeves.

  • @mariahswind Amen to that sweetie

  • @mariahswind If King David has not assended to Heaven yet, why would anyone else be there already..the dead know nothing.....untill the ressurection..

  • @mariahswind HE took him too early-

  • Great Song, With Great Meaning. Can't Wait Til' I'm Home! ^.^
