Jim Reeves Softly and Tenderly

[BgMsDangerus]

My brother loved this man. Occasionally played backup for him at the Grand Ole Opry. Hit my brother hard when he died. He named one of his sons after Mr. Reeves. We just call him Jimmy. And yes, Mr. Reeves thought quite a lot of my brother. It does my heart good to be able to hear Mr. Reeves sing this beautiful hymn. My Mama went home in '98 at the age of 89 and it still hurts so bad and she, too, was weary.

Still listening to Jim and his beautiful voice and Godly songs. I suffer from Chronic Arthritis, Recovered from a stroke and have Fibro Myalgia. Sleep apnea is the result. I use Jim and his songs to help me overcome the pain. I love his voice such a gentle man and very humble he was. Blessings Jim. Rev Jack

@jacorn444 I wish you good health, and may the Lord bless you always.

[mangonanda]

Oh My God, this was one of the songs we sang at both of my parents' funerals - they were weary after raising us - and they went to be with the Lord- it's making me so emotional.

Thanks ColJimQ for this posting!

Beautiful song, well sung. Blessings Rev Jack

You don't hear hymns like this in church anymore. When they brought in the drums and electric guitars along with nonsensical rock/Christian lyrics, I stopped going. That's been a long time and since then my faith has vanished. Yet, there still is a hole in my heart where my faith once was. It is gone forever even if beautiful music should return to churches. I think I speak for many thousands if not millions of people.

zeekwolfe, Please reconsider your views. Find a good Bible teaching church please. Take a good look around you. Time is short. Bill G.

@zeekwolfe Unfortunately churches seem to be more "business-like" now more than ever. Most of the people that really made a difference in my life growing up in the church has since passed away and this modern way is very difficult to adjust to in the church. Although I am not a bible thumper, it is my belief that your "faith" is between you and God, not you and the church.

[BgMsDangerus]

@sunnyskies365 Amen!

Jim Reeves sings for Jesus.Truly the Lord loved him so much that he took him to his home.Love you Jim.

This classic Christian hymn is thought to have been translated into more languages than any other hymn. It was the work of the American lyricist and composer William Lamartine Thompson (1847-1909). As usual, the Jim Reeves interpretation is simply outstanding.

"Calling, oh sinner, come home". And to the super duper "saints" you are reminded that no one gets to heaven without the blood of Jesus on then, oh wretched sinner that we all are!

[ColJimQ]

God bless you brother Chaim!

[jemimahmercy]

Jim Reeves always reminds me of my grandfather(who died in the 80's), who was a believer but closed his bible when his first wife died :(

I just hope he is with the Lord and maybe he silently prayed for me when I was little?

Godd video

God bless

[jemimahmercy]

My grandfather played Jim Reeves music thats why this reminds me of him.

[ColJimQ]
