Cherryholmes - This is My Son

[nrimbxw]

I appreciate this song more than you can imagine. My only son went off to war in Iraq

, and on 06/07/2007 he was shot. Thank God he survived and after 14 surgeries will be coming home to us soon.

AMEN



[chillijackson]

Except a man be born again he cannot see the kindom of heaven,If you meet me and forget,you have lost nothing.But if you meet JESUS and forget,you have lost everything.

[geneobug]

Beautiful song.

@mybabyneco Lol - who cares if people refer to God in their comments? Maybe they have strong faith and they believe the things in their life are related to that faith. Does it hurt you that they believe that or say that? Live and let live my friend.

[FatherOmoray]

wish they all could have come home...mine two...

Lovely song with hearfelt lyrics. I've now ordered the album which this song is on. I have two sons but I'm so relieved they didn't join the army and I have such compassion for parents of sons who fight for their country and world peace. My only criticism of this version is the heavy sound of the two fiddles as they come out too loud and override Cia's vocals in places. I'm hoping on the album their sound will be more subdued.

Love this song!! Cherry Holmes Good Job!!

[OleBlues]

WOW!!!!

[chirality2]

I got the joys of seeing them at the Opry and they were fabulous...

[drummercali]

@chirality2 I saw them at the Opry as well. They sang this song at the Ryman. Talk about hearing a pin drop. They got a rare standing ovation and had the audience in tears.

Beautiful.

[AdriGoddess]

this is amazing!!! How have I NOT heard of them??? I thank iTunes for the introduction!!!

[UncleTito72]

The first time I heard this song I cried like a baby. And i consider myself to be pretty macho! It just made a strong connection with me.

[themaillady1985]

I heard this on the radio in North Dakota while traveling.

[john77905]

this is a very moving song!! great hook the correlation of God giving his only son for us and having to lose your only child in a war !! very well written glory be to our father in heaven and God bless the American soldier.

[sportsguy42]

@john77905 I feel that's very true. For all the mom's who give their only child to war. God gave his only Son so that we may have life and live it abundantly til our cup overflows. Praise Jesus he is the way the life and the only way to the kingdom.

If you love Cherryholmes, please check out their performance at Bonnaroo. This is Bluegrass at its finest.

While the recording environment isn't great, this song moves me every time I hear it.

[layceemack]

This song was written for a friend of mine by cia namesd freedy smith. its about his son in the army. He is a DJ at WDVX radio station:)

[BriansVideoHobby]

I "discovered" this song a few days ago and have played it 100 times if I've played it once. How is this not all over the radio? This should be a mega hit! You folks really touched me with this beautiful song, thank you.

[Bosworth6987]

It is not on the radio due to it being "politically incorrect." I absolutely agree with you, it is a wonderfully touching song. Our government sucks....

[brokenheart7926]

My friend turned me on to your music, this song in particular. Her brother Tito is featured in the video showcasing the soldiers. I simply cannot get enough of this song. It touches me to my core. The lyrics, the composition, the heart of the song, it is beautifully performed. I am a fan of your harmony.

Thank you for sharing these fantastic talents.

[mmurch01]

We lost our son in Iraq in 2007 and this song is a comfort to us. God Bless you and what you do.

[linkmand]

Sorry for your loss. thank you and your Son for doing what He did for our country.
