  • We plunge into the "Dark Night" with faith, we fulfill what the ancients called our "Personal Legend", and we give ourselves wholly to the moment, knowing that there's always a Hand to guide us--the Hand of God. It is up to us whether we choose to take that hand or not!

  • One thing about this song,,,,Saints and Sinners knew it..lol....People gave him alot of flack about this song but i have never heard of a smooth mountain. If the mountain was smooth we would't be able to climb it anyway. We'll keep sliding down. Thank God for the rough mountains because somewhere theres a solid rock i can grip (Jesus) that able me to pull myself up. Ok I done start preaching....Rest well Bishop. You finally got in....Praise the Lord....

  • For the person that uploaded this: I love you. I got one of the 2 LP from my mother bless her and fell in love this the whole LP and could not find in a litter back on here but you have bless me.

  • I was in my car with a retired black man who is a dear friend of mine and he had just burried his wife. this song came on the radio on a Sunday afternoon and he started singing with the radio. He said he and his wife loved this song and had the recording for years and had played it over and over. I had not heard it before but I will agree it is a very great gospel song. Were is not for good Black Christians we would not have much of these gems. God bless all who make this music for us all.

  • @wb5oxq I agree, and to me, black gospel music is the best. I'm as white as they come, and even as a little kid growing up, black gospel has always been my favorite. ( I am now 39 ). There where so many other great groups that i loved listening too. The mighty Clouds Of Joy, Sam Cooke and The Soul Stirrers, Shirley Caesar, The Sensational Nightingals, The Sensational Angels, The Pilgram Travelers, The Dixie Hummingbirds, The Bells Of Joy, and Charles Johnson......, just to name a few!!

  • I agree this is the best gospel song ever

  • this song was played at m daddy funerl whe i was 10

  • I remember my Mother and Grandmother playing this record all the time, I love this song!!

  • How could u not like this song?

  • I need to find the lyrics of this song. Does any one have them or know where I could fine them?

  • My mind takes me back to 1985, every Sunday morning at exactly 9:55 a.m., the local radio station would play this song and my grandfather would sit at the edge of his bed and sing and cry. We all seem to be going up the rough Side of the Mountain, but we must Hold on to God's unchanging hand. God Bless you all...Rest in Peace to all thise gone on before.... You are truly missed.

  • OMG my grandmother use to sing this song what a blessing thank God for the old school!!

  • OMG!! I love this song! especially the sound of the piano, It sounds like one of those old pianos that just sits in the fellowship hall for years, and all of a sudden you pull it out to play on! But its real!!

  • The background music is so loud, the hammering sound is just too disturbing. Sorry but it destroys the whole music. The message is great by the way.

  • @heywhatnow i would recommend a good set of PC speakers. It changed my listening. It separates the music from the vocals. Good listening.
