“You have made us for yourself, and our soul is restless until we find rest in you.”

- St. Augustine

[krimmola]

Etta. I ADORE YOU. Lliterally.

[msromo]

Would love this played at my funeral...for starters who could possibly stay dead listening to this?

[billandhenri]

Etta, when I go I want your version of this wonderful gospel song played as they put my urn in the ground. I hope I will see you in paradise ... your beautiful voice and heartfelt rendition of this song makes it a sure bet you are already there.

[joebutchjr1953]

Great voice, we will miss you but God knows best.

[brelfan]

I was just listening to Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch and thought, oh, nothing could be better than simple and genuine singing of this song. I was wrong. But they're as good for different reasons.

[kellov22]

Fly,Angel, Fly!!(and don't even look back)

[TheAnastasiaLee]

Etta:

Now You Can Join the Band in the Sky ~ they waited for you..

Louie Armstrong, Pavarotti, Elvis, Cash, Holly, Cooke, Reeves, Williams, Cline,

Holiday, Ricky, Orbison, etc..

Great Song,

I couldn't end the day with just at last... Had to make this a celebration of Etta's release from the shackles of illness!

Let's celebrate her return to forever!!!

She's given us all such a paradigm shift as few have ever!

I've shamelessly cried so many times today, for me for her, but truly she'll never be forgotten and now she's no longer suffering. She will reside in Heaven forever!

[lylejanes]

I don't want to wait to have this played at my funeral I am listening to it and dancing to it now!!

[HeidiB15]

I really like this song because I went three loss's like my friend Tanyss Banks who was 28 years old died of Natural Causes, Fran Morgan my aunt who was 58 years old died of a heart attack, and Joanie o Neal was 79 my great aunt died of diabetes.

That's way I look at this song and that those three are in a better place.

Heidi

[MegLuvzLife]

@HeidiB15 -OMG that is SO sweet of u to say about ur friends!Yes,dance them into Heaven!!!

[thewigsterpig45]

this woman masters everything!

[alicesonisrael2010]

I remember singing this in the church choir! Amen! Love it!

[rennyshelton]

I sang this song after my last epidural....along with 2 nurses and an orderly. Looking back...probably not the best choice of song titles for a hospital. And we weren't nearly as good as Etta and her back-up singers.

[StevenDanene]

somebody better play this at my funeral, and ya'll better be singing!!!!!!!!!!

[krabita52]

@StevenDanene i agree



[sway238]

song for the soul! ^^,

[943ab]

Thanks for this post! God be with her and keep her in his arms. Love to her and family!

[CharlesBarry]

Thank's I'am going back to church !
