I seriously don't believe that even the angels could sing this song any better.I believe I'll listen to this song again. What a treasure what a jewel of a performance.
i love jake's eyes in this song....they are just so crystal looking and he felt all the songs he sang! i cant wait to see them all again! i love u guys. RIP (Rejoice in Paradise)
Could not have been sung, better. Thanks to whom posts these beautiful songs sang by the Statesmen , Blackwoods, and the remainder of the old groups. This world was a better place, when they were performing.
This one makes me cry every time I hear it. Having grown up listening to the Statemen and Blackwoods, I can't help feeling the love exuded when these guys sing this one!
Do you remember when I was looking for both Wait Til You See Me in My New and Lord, I want to go to Heaven, and found the one and not the other, Jake Hess forund the other and gave it to me. He also sign and gave me a copy of Just Jake. He is and always shall be my favorite. I never got to see Denver and wish I had.
wow... i remember my grandmother singing me the lines from this song saying "Thank you Lord Thank you Lord for saving my soul, thank you Lord thank you Lord for making me whole, oh Lord i want to go to Heaven, hell is an awful awful place." i thought she made it up... thank you.
This is GREAT! Thankyou Statesmenfan for posting it.
Such a different sounding song. I like it very much. I have become such a fan of the Statesmen and Jake Hess, I just cain't seem to get enough of this group. I feel so grateful to have discovered all this video on You Tube.
I think that Chief did a good job when he wrote and sang this song!!

You don't hear a lot of songs written this straight forward anymore. People don't seem to want think about Heaven or Hell as a living reality.

Denver died in 1957, so it had to be between 54 and 57.....

I've been a fan since I first heard about them on the first Gaither video. Then saw
a video Bill did about their career. Hovie
& the Statesmen, without a doubt, set the standard by wich ALL othern gospel quartets should strive for.
