Wow, that is so good.

[PT007able]

@luvinthejazz

Man alive - This is G R E A T and I am an Australian in awe of this fantastic song and it could not be sung than anyone better than the above folk.

[qzwxqzwx1313]

the westing game sent me here

[mistressofwolves132]

[mistressofwolves132]

who is the male with the long coat on?

[hoover4000]

@mistressofwolves132 guy penrod

[mistressofwolves132]

@hoover4000 okay thanks.

[mistressofwolves132]

who is the male with the coat on?

[deyenak1]

That is some beautiful country! Good job lip syncing

[kskidspastor]

@deyenak1 You're joking, right? They're not lip syncing. They shot the video, then dubbed their studio track over the raw video. They were actually singing in the video, but you're hearing the studio version.

[jdg48439]

Still one of my favorite videos on YT. Guy Penrod and David Phelps were blessed with gifts that can soothe the savagest beasts on earth.

[moosedawn1]

whats a good song i sang tthis at my aunts wedding when i waz 3 and i am now 13 it is such a great song and if any body hates it il kill then lol :O

[johnlca]

Amen!

[pmcmanus420]

Where's the soaring eagle at the end? This song has to finish with the iconic shot of an American bald eagle soaring into the endless blue skies.

[DIONISIAVINO]

does anybody know if the big bird that appears in the video is the california condor?

[trojanblood76]

That is an awesome arranger....THE BARITONE LIKE IS AWESOME!!!

[xgodxinxhumanxformx]

god bless the gaither vocal band

DAMN THEIR FREAKING AWESOME

IM SO JEALOUS!! :((

[WhiteLionKing10]

I love it when David and Guy sing the duet! David Phelps is the best male singer i've ever heard in my life!

[NotComplacent]

God bless you and a heartfelt "thank you" to

all of those who have served

our country.

[cia5000]

The Country is beautiful but the people who inhabit it are the worst in the world.. the most war like savage people the world has ever seen, they war with everything they touch.. they steal and suck the life and resources of 3rd world countries to support their hunger for $ and materialism.. USA will go down as the most corrupt country to walk the earth.

[DevilsLAXative]

is the guy in the blue shirt a young John C. Reilly?

[hoover4000]

@DevilsLAXative LOL not at all. His name is David Phelps

[nasyaw]

@hoover4000 and nobody can sing like David Phelps. I don't care how many times they change and try to get someone to sound and look like him David will always be David.

[stevenpeed]

@hoover4000 even if you don't like this style of music... you have to appreciate David Phelps' talent

[TheOlaylover]

@hoover4000 And noone can sing praises to god like him....

[budi360]

From sea to shining seaaaaaa.

May god bless our great nation.

[DoublePrimo44004]

I love this country, and I am forever greatful to those who have sacrificed so much before me to insure that this country stands free for me and my children.

[Americanjazzlady]

THIS IS GREAT!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AND GOD BLESS YOU!

[madamequeen123]

I have been blessed to see this great nation from sea to shining sea and from the Canadian border to Mexico. God has indeed graced America with beauty and bounty. II Chronicles 7:14...May He continue to stand beside her and guide her with His light from above! Bill and Gloria Gaither are bibical poets who put beautiful words to beautiful music. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us.

[rwiggs84]

How beautiful. Of course, what else would you expect from the Gaither vocal band?

[HeForeverLives]

PS I've never seen a man with curls that pretty

[HeForeverLives]

I love this :) I love seeing them I. Fellowship singing like that :)

[jberlotti]

God I love being an American! Proud to serve her (U.S. Air Force) too.

[jiahua448]

America, for all thy fault, you still are the greatest nation on the face of the Earth!

[MrSamuel4695]

America the Beautiful (By The Gaither Vocal Band)

[HeForeverLives]

Yes this was before Marshall, this was after mark lowry's time, Marshall hall came after David phelps and russ left.

[redsmooch989]

beautiful voices!!

[lwalto1]

The view of Pike's Peak as seen from Colorado Springs was the inspiration for this song.

[michellelovescena]

was this before Marshall Hall was in the group?

[verychatty]

Where in Colorado did they film this? I was just there and now that I know this was in Colorado I am curious lol.

[rellzey6089]

Gives me goosebumps.

[hoeck2008]

America is truely the greatest nation on this planet and anyone who doesn't think so can leave. God Bless America!!!!!!!

[yoseewails]

I just love America and all that our brothers in arms have fought for us to have and enjoy.... mc

[TheAlexratiu]

very very nice GBU

[robogunny]

Thank you.

[4Fintan]

A very beautiful song.

[TheOriginalKyrsKyrs]

I was lucky enough to be the driver for David Phelps and his whole crew one night. Where he's at, they don't have In and Out, so we went out to dinner there and they bought me dinner. Such a sweet group of truly talented people, as well as the Gaither Vocal Band. Keep it up guys.

[zengzhu]

anyone know where i can find the recording of the bass and tenor parts (seperate)

written for SATB

[rangiuia21]

GOD truely does bless America!!

Thank you Gaither Vocal Band

[andcheeky2]

I'd love to hear them do this a capella....amazing talent and always done with a respectful attitude.

[MichaelMKoeln08]

Been searching for a good version of this song and WOAH I fell in LOVE!!!!!! This video is pure awesomeness. Most if not all footage is from Colorado :D MY HOME!!!!!!!!! woooo! YAY AMERICA!!!

[sk8ersynistersean]

AMERICA IS SO BEAUTIFUL!

[carv1978]

i am from Austin, Tx. my parents are mexicans, i am bilingual, since 10 years ago i am living in Monterrey, Mx. i married with a great and beautiful mexican woman and i have a kid, but my heart still burns when i ear this song, yes i am mexican-american but i will never forget the land where i was born.

[zt2211]

These guys are great! I wish they had done the whole song, though. Its message is more powerful as a whole when all of the verses are included.

[NutsAboutHarry]

I'm not American but this song makes me feel American how weird is that?....lol  Best version I've ever heard of it. Can't beat gospel singers!

[chisox100]

This should be the national anthem

[TheHawk2617]

Obama's not trying to break America... Leave politics out of patriotism - no politician wants to break America, they all just have different views on how to do it

[TR3Y4LI4E]

America will live 10000000000000000 more years

[lyriesch]

As long as pride doesn't end in racism and nationalism, I truly love this version

[thegraceofmusic]

Heart-felt music as usual from the BGVB...

Today is President's Day. Whether we agree with our leaders or not, we are to pray for them.

[CherishedImages]

Been a fan of GVB for YEARS... this is one of their BEST!!!

[thegraceofmusic]

Amazing....perfect harmony

[rangiuia21]

Far out man. I'm not even American, and The Gaither Vocal Band justs make me want to be american and sing this national anthem with joy!! They make it all so enjoyable

[lgp490]

@rangiuia21 Well, it's not the national anthem but still a great song!

[MrSweetlandofliberty]

Nice compliment but it's not our national anthem! O say can you see by the dawn's early light, etc., is our national anthem.

[artygunnar]

The Star Spangled Banner Lad

[ghaleonx128]

@rangiuia21

America..... F'ing yeah!!!

[invisablepersona]

Obama will not, cannot break America....unless the King IS coming.

[thegraceofmusic]

You got that right...Hallelujah!!!

[tshanley01]

I think tis is from Red Rock Homecoming

[in0your0dreams]

one of the best music videos of GVB..i sooo love the part in 1:45 to 1:50 when i see David Phelp's and Guy Penrod's expression!! i'm like 'wow!' this is just amazing!! awesome! Goosebumps for me ... and i'm not American! =) but i'm soo feeling it!!

[tartans101]

Guy Penrod has such a powerful voice. It is glorious!

[cazi13mama]

OK, I admit I am not an American, & I am proud of who I am - a NZ Kiwi. Thanx heaps for this vid., it is purely beautiful. The harmony...everything. I have watched other songs that this group has sung so I know they are AWSUM!!!! A great tribute to you all!!!!!

[kingofkingsbc]

America has one thing no contry has...

it can stand united

i know it sounds corny

but its true

[yugiohkiller999]

theres a latin word that means stand united.

e pluribus unum.

[lgp490]

@yugiohkiller999 that's y it's on all our money!

[josh1524]

Not that I have a problem with it, but it is obvious that the audio is not live from when the video footage was shot.

[hoover4000]

its not supposed to be "live" ts supposed to be sort of a music video

[rangiuia21]

@hoover4000 lol!!!

[choosdad]

@josh1524 And your point again???

[jcirmsa]

@josh1524 did you figure that out when you noticed there was no orchestra playing in the field with them?

[MattRyanHorn]

I am so very proud to be a citizen of the greatest country that has ever existed, the USA!!!!

What makes America great is not our government, or that we have the biggest and best economy, or that we are the sole super power. What makes us great is the citizens of this great land.

[britredneck]

As an Englishman I am proud with my personal ties and that of my country's to the United States of America.

Some times we may not see eye to eye and sometimes we may argue but we stand together resilient to those who throw harm, criticism and mock the bonds we share but we strive on together like families always do.

So to my brothers and sisters across the waves God Bless you all from sea to shining sea.

and may he also protect both our nations brave men and women serving in the military.

[silentfades]

thank you sir with my heart I thank you

Marc in NYC

[lgp490]

[onomatopoeia162003]

O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea! O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears. America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.

[hoy124]

America is truly beautiful. God Bless America.

Un jour je verrais ce beau pays ! God Bless America !!!!

[victorianhobby]

This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song ever.

So heart felt. love it.

[jalsses2006]

Abortion is murder period!!!!! I am a father and when I saw my daughter's ultra sound at 6 weeks pregnant the baby had a heart beat and life force. Women are being deceived into abortion by the mere word "CHOICE"! It is my choice to go murder an elderly person in their room at the nursing home but it would still be murder. The location of that person does not determine their life value. In the end alot of people are going to be ashamed for murdering his children when they stand before him!

[ren1997]

him? who?

[trivialdisputes]

God

[ReagleRob777]

amen brother

[wbsmk]

I lve the harmony between David and the Guy Penrod

[blacktoedferret]

I'm English, but this is the best song ever and always makes me feel emotional. God Bless America.

[stevecraid]

Awesome...

[jdg48439]

This ís so amazingly beautiful. Been listening to the Gaithers forever. Now I listen to the Cactus Cuties too, who will be joining the Gaithers for a concert in Fort Worth in March, such a perfect fit!!!

I love my country so dearly, and only hope for the best.

[stihlthebest]

No matter who becomes President, this country is screwed. We MUST all pray to GOD our Father!
