[thebuckeyemaniac]

Tim Tebow watches this video before every football game

[JesusOurSalvation]

Jesus is alive , and He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus is The Saviour of The world ,alone.

[nancyydan]

Libres Salvos en los brasos de mi salvador.

[VaudevilleJoe1925]

This song has always been a fav-o-rite! It was a favorite of my mother's. God rest her beautiful soul. ~ Peace, love, & joy to all in 2012!

[bergen7853]

The first gaither video that I saw that got me hooked on this wonderful music was this. Man I just love this stuff thanks:)

[Schmidt1942]

Nobody does it better than Andy Griffith... 

[BEBoda04]

hotwheel32- your comment brought tears to my eyes! May God bless your life so that even "chair bound" may you be a sparkling light of God's gospel to those around you! :)

Oh!! Pure JOY!!!

[kadooperly]

Love this song!



[annie4ever75]

@DrSunshineAOD YOU NEED TO WAKE UP!!!! It doesn't matter what color you are, God made everyone equally, it doesn't matter if you're white, black, chineese, spanish or what ever, no ones better than anyone else!!!! Only ignorant people worry about what color a persons skin is!!!!

[debbiedamooseful]

@annie4ever75 Ya got that right! Gosh, in the winter I'm soooooooooo white....in the summer, I'm almost black. My skin color doesn't change who I am. Let's give up on the skin color and look at people for who they are, not what color they are.

[MsBeautifullyBlessed]

My daddy could play this on the trumpet! Rip daddy!! 9/8/54-8/22/11

[debbiedamooseful]

@MsBeautifullyBlessed Sorry for your loss, but this song says alot about Dad.  What a guy!

[ionicarostas]

wonderful

a song grup gaspol

[philly442]

iris ement is amazing on this song

[hom859]

i am not christian and i am not a believer of any other religion. i believe that you live and you die. and as much as i have seen and known that is good enough for me. i am not here not here to make anyone doubt their religion i just anted to say that this song is beautiful and if human beings would start to notice how beautiful this life is that we have and how lucky we are to only get 1 chance at it then maybe killing each other over religion would stop. i love my country more then anything.

[debbiedamooseful]

@hom859 live as you'd like. Personally, I'm attached to Jesus. But I do have to agree with you. Just believe in something..........anything. It doesn't have to be organized religion. You believe in life and that's good enough.

[JKL0038]

@hom859 you may not believe in god, but he believes in you and loves you. And he wants to be with you even after you die :)

[MTJLT]

@hom859 @hom859 You made a beautiful statement of faith in human goodness. We can indeed be good, but it doesn't come naturally, and too often we attach that goodness to selfish motives, which WAY too often look like religion. Hope you don't mind that I copy your comment and my reply into my blog, The Well-Dressed Branch

[insomned]

Everybody's singing :))))))))

[zuttorizzo]

This was one of the best of many Gaither concerts; It's the Vocal Band with Ernie Haase. The humor was excellent; the music was superb. And I love this song!

[ghingerh]

love this song.... very nice

[tuckben]

serious lack of maturity below...take it outside

[debbiedamooseful]

@tuckben I agree, what a bunch! I just want to listen to the song!

[debbiedamooseful]

@debbiedamooseful Thanks for agreeing. I'm tired of negativity. Let's just lean on God's arms together. Listen, enjoy and carry it with you.

[debbiedamooseful]

@Auslander999 Cut the crap, listen to the music and stop being dummmmmmmmmmmb. Thanks.

[N3CR1S]

@Auslander999 So, instead of addressing the issue (me saying that you acused me of something i did not do) you choose to change the topic, rather than to either:

a) show me that i indeed had done so.

b) admit that you were wrong.

I was angry and offensive, i admit that. I get like that since i know how these conversations go, thanks for proving me right by doing what you did.

[N3CR1S]

@Auslander999 Why would you? Was my comment that hard to understand that you somehow got confused and thought that I said that this was where the brainwashing was going on? Please read it again.

Or, are you saying that you were at that place, and you are referencing to your own childhood? please be more precise.

[HunterStump]

@Auslander999 smh... exactly

[HunterStump]

@Auslander999 mhm you are, but the funniest part, I guarantee you wouldn't get smart if you were up to me face to face (;

[HunterStump]

@Auslander999 just saying kid (:

[HunterStump]

@Auslander999 just like the bible says everyone will hear the gospel once in they're life, its up to you now (;

[bluntedtaoism]

"leaning on the everlasting arms" is,one of the greatest english-language hymns of all time. but this is just the most intolerably hokey and obnoxious rendition i've ever heard. Who on earth are all these awful people with their county-fair hoedown nonsense and how can that audience be encouraging them? maybe for their next act they'll do "Amazing Grace" with farts and a washtub bass.

[debbiedamooseful]

You're stupid, leave us Christians alone to listen to our music in peace. I have no idea what you are talking about, and I don't care! Do not respond!

[debbiedamooseful]

@MsJeremiah39 Not really, and why don't you have any respect for your elders? I have no idea what my "false channel moose troll" is. Tell me. Hey I'm an old lady (60 yrs. old) listening to great music. Explain your problem to me and I'll fix it.

[debbiedamooseful]

@MsJeremiah39 sorry, but I don't have a false channel! whatever that is. Don't go away mad, just go away.

[JD27076]

I can play this on the piano! And to the brainwash people. I, a Christian, is not brainwashed. I was born and raised in a Baptist Church. But I didn't agree with the Baptist Traditions but I still believe in the Lord, Jesus Christ. I found that the Catholic Church has traditions I agree with more. So, no you can not say they are brainwashed. More than likely, they are not OPEN to other religions, more or less Atheism.

[davemejia]

if you trust in the one true God and His Son Jesus Christ, who was and is and is to come, you gain everything! if you don't, then you lose everything.

[debbiedamooseful]

@MsJeremiah39 Whatever that means! Go away!

[N3CR1S]

So this is what it looks like when you brainwash a bunch of people since they were kids and then put them in the same room.

I will do the same thing in my town, but there we will be singing to santa claus instead, even when we are all grown up :)

[MsTalkingStick]

@tth20102010 Thank you for your kind reply. I appreciate it. It is affirmation of my faith in the "fellowship." I am quite familiar with Sloan-Kettering. Gratefully I have had no need for treatment in the past few years.

[MsTalkingStick]

@tth20102010 I have no acrimony or disrespect for those who hold beliefs different from mine. In fact I place my trust is the community of man and those holding many differing beliefs. And it is enough.

[tth20102010]

@MsTalkingStick ..........I beg your pardon. My error. Your "magical Jesus" remark was said with all due 'respect'... Clearly.

I wish you well. May a stranger suggest contacting Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital in NYC if at all feasible? I myself spent 10 days in THEIR care and I'm here to tell ya, there is no better cancer care available anywhere on the face of the Earth. In any event.....Bon sante.....

[MsTalkingStick]

I am an atheist. When I came home from being told I had cancer, and a bad kind at that, I immediately thought of this song. It's not ab9out leaning on the magical Jesus. The first line says it. "Oh what a fellowship>" I gave myself over to the fellowship of community. I now feel safe.

[tth20102010]

@MsTalkingStick  Get well soon. It might help if you let go of your anger towards people with beliefs which differ from your own. The music is beautiful as is the sentiment.

[meab12]

Id prefer Harry Powells version.....

[betinhoBR1]

Very good, I am Brazil ok?

[CriterionCoIIection]

Who's the Wild Bill Hickok looking fellow?

I've been listening to different versions of this song and I'm struck by how "white" this sounds. Just an observation...

[UPALLNITE4U]

@CriterionCoIIection

That would be Mr. Guy Penrod.

[curtis03162003]

Grew up listening to them and loved every son.

[TheAshley9697]

WES HAMPTON is adorable...he can sing too...

[winnickdan]

I really like this song, but i'm not religious at all. music>god

[subinct]

Sure are a good looking bunch !

[zgapz]

what does leaning on the everlasting arms means?

[FavoriteTunes2009]

@zgapz It's Jesus' arms! They are everlasting. They are going to hold you and comfort you forever. Lean on Him.. for eternity! Praise God!

[debbiedamoose]

OMG, and I mean that! What a great video of a song that is near and dear to my heart. I love it. And, all of the lyrics were posted correctly. I thank you for that because I like to sing along........and no, you don't want to be here when I do that. I'm not the best singer on the planet, but this song brings me to my Christian roots. Thanks many time over.

[BenjaminWirtz]

I was reminded of this song while watching True Grit

[wa4hgj]

Great song - awesome performance.

My daily anti-depressant.

[44rosemary]

there is nothing that compare to being cheered up by The Gaithers

[CNANDEZ9]

Absolutley love this song :)

[kulangsapansit]

leaning on the everlasting arms..

[axlcrush]

The joy of a Christian doesn't come from the tune or the beat, but from a happy confidence in God and knowledge that we have left sin behind, joyfully looking forward to heaven. Great music :-)

[jamindian91]

Reggae-jazz fusion?

Love it! <3

[KiNgOfKaRaBiNeR]

@jamindian91

Excellent song. Praise the Lord.

[johnylegend014]

ASTIG PRE! God bless!

[ianchai]

I was doing my quiet time (daily devotions) this morning and was reminded of this song so I googled for it and this came up. What a blessed time I had worshiping God with the Gaither Vocal Band and Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. (For those of you who didn't know, the other guys in this video are Ernie Haase & Signature Sound.)

[christiansamazing1]

AMEN ! AMEN ! AMEN !

[christiansamazing1]

WHT A BLESSEDNES !!!

[gapeach7355]

[daveebella09]

JESUS will come again for HIS people--those who have faith in HIM.....

[HVANDERLEEST]

Can't help but enjoy this video time and again. Thank you for sharing!

[nadja881989]

Love this song:-)!!

[Dardanelle7742]

I am Church of Christ and i must say i enjoy this

[xxjessica22xx]

i love this song! Thanks for putting it up!

[imesandf]

I agree with all of you who say that the lenght of the hair of the singer guy penrod doesn' matter because if he praises the lord sincerely the lenght of his hair doesn't matter there are other "cristhians"who have short hair and are bad people and do not love God and nor praise his name as this singer does so I do send blessings to him for his good work praising the Lord.

[okukusekudelali]

i agree wt u, also u may never know, it could be for medical reasons. we must not be quick to pass judgment on any thing till we have details.

[jking1951]

Comments like yours, churchgoer500, are the very reason some folks don't come to know Jesus as their Savior. I PROMISE you that when we all get to heaven you'll find out God doesn't give a hoot about the length of a person's hair...just the condition of their heart.

[Eskuppe]

1 Corinthians 11:14:"Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him."

Now I agree that whether u hav long hair or not u can be a Christian, but that doesn't mean "God doesn't give a hoot about the length of a person's hair".

Also, churchgoer500's comments don't hinder one from knowing Christ . If sum1's name is written in the Book of Life, maybe you won't be used to lead some1 to Christ, but they WILL come to Christ by other means.

[joroma77]

1 Corinthians 11

14-16

"Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God."

So there, brother. :-)

[JohnHansard]

You're splittin' hairs--pardon the pun!!!

So hair overshadows ministry???? Don't think so!!

[JohnHansard]

What is long hair? No where in the Bible does it state a "Godly length of hair. Some religions and countries consider short hair to be what is long hair in other places. And does Penrod's hair make him unGodly? Does he not bless you with his voice--that God gave him? The hair is a silly issue that gives Satan more ability to stop or slowdown someone who is trying to obey Him with his talent. YOU are being sinful--NOT Penrod!!!!

[dodotkfos]

I am so willing to bet that is taken out of context as are so many other "quotes" people take from the Bible.

[advo90]

I hear much people talking about Guy Penrod. I am happy to see that there are some people who can praise our Lord! Let's praise. Don't argue about people. Just live for Him (excuse me for my writing, I am Dutch)

[JohnHansard]

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. God could care less about the length of someones's hair. Of course we do not know for sure, but all our depictions have Jesus with long hair. You banned them from your home???? Penrod is singing for God--that is his ministry and He is obedient--THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT!!!

[Danieljs54]

The Bible says that many who claim to be godly are really false. Many who cry, Lord,Lord, will be lost. The picture of Christ today was made by a monk who was drunk at the time and had a woman on his mind, thereby adding long hair. It was a mistake on mans' part. He did have a beard, however.

[JohnHansard]

You know, truth is, you do not know and I do not know and it should not matter. To judge someone over their hair is not only foolish, but sinful!!!! The heart and sould is whast matters!!! Penrod could grow hair to his toes and as long as his heart is in ministring to people---God WILL smile at him and bless him. The whole hair thing is simply sinful and frankly stupid!!!!

[blessedandforgiven]

Amen!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this....God bless you!!!!!!!

[lannie1875]

The only thing I can think of when I listen to this song is serial killer Harry Powell. :)

[Spiritflows]

great music

[tttriplettt]

Thanks for posting this. It was my dad's favorite hymn, and brought back so many memories of singing it at all day singings, gospel singings, and church. The bass really reminded me of him, as that was his part.

[remustr9]

wow...God bless you brothers :)

[sigsoundfan]

why didn't you post the part before this? when kevin made fun of jeff....:)
