I grew up on gomer pyle, and I remember the first time I heard you sing on the show, and from then on I have been in ah when I hear your voice, and now even to this day 2011 almost over, I still am in ah, and my gt. nephew, who is disabled has had the wonderous experience of hearing you sing, and he smiled the whole way through, he responds to gt. music. A long time and older person who has been a fan for so many yrs, ty to my parents that introduced us to such Serenity, DB Sedro Woolley, WA.
This song always brings tears to my eyes. This song is the one that my mother has told me for years that she wants played for her when she goes to meet her Lord and Savior, therefore this song is extremely special to me. Thank you for putting this on here with the amazingly talented man singing it.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works lest any man should boast."(Eph 2:8-9) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also recieved, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."(1 Cor 15:3-4) God does all of the saving and I can only point you to trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Eph 2:1-10, Tit 3:5.
JIM has now officially retired at 81 in June this year he has given an amazing legacy for us all. I adore him and have for 53 years now and have met him on numerous times and he is humble and kind he has always said he wants to be remembered just as a good guy.His wonderful voice presents the love of God to us all with an encouragement to believe in God an d be able to enter into the mansion over the hilltop Betty Gregory Australia
@DottiesDoodles I am having a medley including this wonderful hymn this sung with Jim;s permission when I die! May God comfort you in His precious Love until you meet again aloha dear Jim
@susanb6479 He IS good. As you probably know, his fellow cast member Andy Griffith was also good at singing hymns, such as "I Love to Tell the Story," and "Jesus I come."
I got to sing in his Christmas show with him every year for the past 4 years...Was called Merry Christmas with Friends and Nabors!!!. He's an Amazing man! and he's 80 and Awesome! Modest, Talented, and Blessed!
I was there in 2006 and then his latest concert and final one in 2009. He is truly an inspiration to us all. I did not know about these before but would have been to many others flying from Australia The audience would not let him go the cheering was amazing a wonderful tribute to a wonderful man
YouTube is remarkable for finding people you have never heard of. After listening to most versions of this song I find that this astonishing rendition is {for me} the best by far. It is quite remarkable.
what a day it will be when we meet Christ! We will all go to our knees and then flat on our faces. It will be too overwhelming for anyone to face. Then Jesus will speak and we will rise up in His glorious presence.!
not so many people remember this artist had a great TV show long ago. the opener, "Tomorrow never Comes," was a true tearjerker, and showed the sensitivity of a wonderful performer. what a shame that his true potential was never shown to the American public...
No one every sang better. No one! if people don't know that and didn't check it all out all of these years, they've missed a lot. Thankfully, a lot of us DO know
