Always loved this song. Shared to FB. :-)

This was the song that introduced me to John McCutcheon at the Jonesborough Storytelling Festival a number of years ago. I cornered John and told him what he sang was a tremendously beautiful song that he had written -- he admitted forgetting to credit Bob Franke, but as far as I'm concerned, this is, to me, John's signature song. It never fails to affect me deeply.

This has been a favorite song of mine since I first heard John perform when I was three years old (though when I was little the mention of flying made me think he was singing to a baby bird. hehehe).

I discovered John during a journey in the USA in 1996 with his album fantastic " water from another time "

John, this is a favorite song of mine; have it on CD by Glad. But you are also a blessing; a reminder of the victory won for us by Christ and the promise of His blessed return. Thanks so much and God's blessings.

This was my favorite song when I was little, and I rediscovered it today and have been listening to it over and over. Truly amazing. I also had the opportunity to see Barachois for a final time at the me&thee coffeehouse a few years ago. Thanks for reminding me of some great memories!

Thank you both for your lovely comments! It was indeed a very special evening and having Bob there meant a lot to so many of us!

What a fabulous Clip! Thanks!  I am sure it captures some of the warmth and excitement of the Night. Pity "M&T" is so far from the UK - your List is stupendous!

Bob Franke - what can one add? John really "gets hold" of this one, and elevates both himself and the audience.

Thanks for posting this. This has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it on Follow That Road,a folk music compilation, sung by the songwriter, Bob Franke. It's an amazing song, religious without being preachy and hopeful in unhopeful times. It would have been a good song to perform at Obamas inauguration. Love the autoharp.
