  • Brings tear to the worst of man. Confessing in all thy ways

  • If only people could look past a skeptical, jaded life and see that we gaing through this 'vail of tears,' to a new age, a new order, a heaven on earth that is coming and for which our troubles now are a prelude. "Soon we will be done!" "He shall wipe away every tear..."Maranatha.

  • Ah Mahalia, yes, it is done,

    what you have planted, is not gone,

    soon the tears no more,

    soon the gates you knocked on,

    will open brightly for all,

    your people will march in,

    and your voice will show the way,

    and crying will be no more...

  • She wos a magnificent,spiritual singer. When she sings it seems as though God touched her and said shine for the world child. She lights the soul up as it were a candle. Praises, praises.

  • THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING!!! (I'm crying right now).

  • It seems as if God let us borrow Mahalia for a little bit of time and then he had to have her back in heaven. Thank You God!

  • This reminds me of my favorite movie "Imitation of Life". I just love Mahalia Jackson.

  • @berlynicole17

    Ms. Jackson steals her scene, but check out the 1934 version of "Imitation of Life". It's superior in every way.

  • Four people don't realize that the troubles of this world will soon be done.

  • This is a beautiful song and it blesses my soul abundantly... and i would greatly appreciate if anybody can post the lyrics on youtube or lyrics.com.. thank you ahead of time and God Bless you all

  • There are songs that move you. Then there is this song that touches the depths of your soul. This songs reminds me this world is only temporary. Soon all the troubles of the world will be over,and we will be with God. For God I live,and For God I die. Nothing else matters. It's God and me,and me and God.

  • COld chills running down my spine!]

    

  • This is my favorite spiritual and favorite from Mahalia Jackson. There was no one like her.....

  • @Blueslady91 type Marie Guillian Soon Will be Done by Mahalia Jackson. They are both great singers.

  • "I want...see my mother" never fails to bring me to tears. This was her favorite song from her favorite movie.

  • @Mamatiger85

    I NOW KNOW WHAT THOSE WORDS YOU MENTIONED, REALLY MEAN NOW

  • Comment removed

  • Sweet Jesus...I love to hear Mahalia Jackson sing. I first heard this song when I watched Imitation of Life & it brought me to tears...even now I still cry whenever I hear it. GOD truly blessed her with such a beautiful & powerful voice.

  • This song was used in that korean movie...Gangster High

  • No color doesn't matter but culture does matter and being black is more than being a color it's a cultural identity. I just get afraid sometimes that white people will try to take what black people create and make it "white". So I don't buy into the "no color/human race" bull.

  • @mxzyspitlik: I see where you're coming from: I'd be upset too if people appropriated something from my culture and just wrecked it.

  • my god i thought i was the only one whos grandmother did that it was her that i first watched imatation of life with and we both cried like little orphans and you know what is going to happen at the end and you still cry well at least i do anyway i am married to a white woman and have mixed kids and you should see them break down after watching the movie and they loved it

  • This song means the world to me, my grandmother used to sing it while i was growing up. Mahalia sings it so beautifully (like my granny) to where brings tears to my eyes everytime i hear.

  • The greatest gospel singer that has ever been. The power and the feeling have not been matched - a great women and we were blessed to have had her.

  • her voice is so chilling and beautiful at the same time

  • Amazing I love her

  • GLORY TO GOD YES SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sent by God..... I love her worship....

  • I Love her voice!

  • very inspiring woman and wonderful diverse singer love u miss jackson

  • Thank you for posting this video. I recently lost both of my parents and this was one of the songs from the service. Beautiful song. Mahaiia took it to a whole new level. Brought me to tears!!!

  • Oh mama, this is a great singer and a great song! This catholic school boy has always had a lovin' spot for Ms. Mahalia. A voice that says; "God I'm talking to you!" Powerful and beautiful. Bless you pallie for posting this. gk.

  • in the end all that matters is who won and who lost,and you my faithful people you have won.

  • someone like her comes once in a lifetime i can only imagine what her voice sounds like now that she is in heaven

  • since Pres. Obama is so outraged over "faux" homophobia in [the] Black community & Black churches, why does he so ardently seek and assume their electoral support on every opportunity ? Since it outrages him so, perhaps in order to allow him to maintain his character & integrity, the "Black Community" should offer it's objectionable, homophobic support to a more reasonable and balanced candidate come 2012- just a very short time from now ! Is there any other group he snubs more than Blacks ??

  • @shieldsff One can ask for support/ give support to a person one doesn't agree with. You act like someone can't have both positive and negative attitudes towards people.For example, I am sometimes outraged and disgusted that my father can be homophobic and give into chauvinist behaviors. That doesn't diminish my love for him, nor does it diminish his support of me.

  • She looks like she could be my grandmother because my mom looks just like her!

  • Powerful.

  • Its time to get your my soul right with the lord

  • The first time I heard Mahalia Jackson, was the day I saw "Imitation of Life". For a 9 year old Catholic boy from small town Massachusetts, it was both a sad and joyful moment. Joyful for the discovery of and sad for not knowing who the singer was. When I found out her name I never looked back. Wonderful sound, wonderful feeling, from what I understand was a wonderful woman.

  • READY TO GO HOME LORD

  • I absolutely love this song and 'Imitation of Life' :)

  • love this song i cant wait for this all to end with joy in my heart

  • one of my favourites. absolutely brilliant

  • This is Trouble of the World. Who gave it thumbs down. Who dares disrespect the QUEEN OF GOSPLE MUSIC.

  • i luv this song...i listened to this song when my stepdad died in 05 after hurricane katrina..and now im listening to it again bcause my aunt jus passed away this thursday

  • @jdbaker100 I am sorry to hear that music is the most comforting thing we have in this world

  • @ItzJustVeee yes music is the most comforting thing we have...epecially when its good spirit uplifting music like this...o and u shouldnt be sorry be unless ur an asshole nd dont know good music when u hear it

  • I heard this song played on a Korean film. I can't remember the name of that film, but that part of the film turned black and white because of the disturbing violence that took place in that scene. But hearing that song play on that film took my mind off all that sensationalized inhumanity of violence just to know that through God there is hope that violence will be no more.

  • @sheltv100 gangster high ( i've just saw it)

  • @sheltv100 I think i know what you are talking about. That movie you mentioned...is titled Gangster High, i kno because i watched that movie myself. And this song plays during the ending fight scene.

  • humm it had squat to do with god

  • With this FAKE MEDIA DRIVEN music industry where everything from JAZZ to R&B will soon be obsolete, where in the world will ever get to hear another artist that can tell such a powerful story with simply the sound of her voice?

    RVM

  • @MrR962 I can tell u are a huge fan of Mahalia type in Mahalia Jackson by Marie Guillian my mother lovesssss!!! her and sounds just like her. U will be blessed comment and tell me what u think.

  • She makes me cry

  • Sing Woman! That's all need to be said about a voice like this. Mahalia, leaves you craving for more. What more is there to say.

  • I love God, regardless of His skin color or facial features (Which I doubt He has, because He's a spirit, not a man) because of EVERYTHING he's bleesed me with, and EVERYTHING he hasn't. God bless all of you!

  • God has all colours!

  • Who cares what God looks like? We can hear his voice in Mahalia's recordings.

  • you said.."Who cares what God looks like? We can hear his voice in mahalia's recordings."

    I agree....your comment was very wise and observant. I wan to see my father again...goin' home to live with God. thank you for your simply wise commnet.. Keep in email with me...I like your style.

  • Anointed song!

  • The best gospel singer ever!She had anointing unlike these artists today,the music had a sweet spirit then,old time religion will always be my favorite.

  • times like this man! Fort Hood, Cleveland, Afghanistan, Iraq, Katrina, what are we going to do

  • this song is very powerful i grew up in the catholic church but i never realy belived in the oh so great white god! seeing as how i was called timber nigger by the kids and priest...and if god loves us all why is he supposubly white why should i care about a white guy when i dont trust white people??

  • God is an entity

    I am not hung upon color Jesus was born. I know some say he's white others say he's Spanish seeing how they name their children Jesus

    Jesus is all to all why must we put a color on him.

    I am just happy he died for my sins and was raised from the dead

  • I personally don't believe God is a white Zeus-looking man with a beard sitting up in the clouds. I think that was a sort of proof for white males that they were superior others, if you know what I mean? What if God was a black or hispanic woman? Well, God is more like you than like the priest and the kids if they called you that, and I don't think God is some white guy, I really hope he/she/it isn't.

  • There is no reason to talk about Michael jackson, now. He is gone. I am sorry his childhood was so HORRIBLE. thats why we should pray for non beleivers, famous, non famous and infamous. I just hope he was saved...well... All us beleivers will find out one day, in glory. i hope i am pleasantly surprised. But lets pray for the famous as well as others. They are fortunate to be in the limelight, for the exposure, so we can pray for them...some unknown child hiding in a room practicing not so.

  • i was jus released from the hospitol after a week they told me i have epilepsy after 25 yrs of good health now im epileptic "WHY GOD" this song really brings the pain of life.Why cant it just be over

  • I am not trying to trivialize anything you are saying or your situation...GOD did not give you this situation, but i can tell you this, GOD has allowed this to happen for a reason, maybe something you are aware of,or no....also, the enemy has seen your future, and he is willing to do anything he can to disrupt it, because GOD is going to use you in a mighty way. SEEK out God, and ask HIM. Beleive me, it aint easy...i have diabetes, but praise GOD, WE can still walk, talk, and have right mind.

  • if u get a chance type of dr.sebi he has the anwser for you. he beilive that if we eat natural it will clense the body of any thing, he also talks about electric foods, are body is made of electic ,when we eat natural food we get that ,when we dont we get sick,

  • When I was in college, I sang in a quartet ,and we sang this as an upbeat song of hope. It's not known only as a funeral dirge.

  • Let's have some respect for the song....and let God above deal with Michael jackson he is dead so they us let him rest in peace none of us was there when or if he even touch those boys only the Lord up above knows....we all need to concern with getting our lives right for God is coming back very soon...every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess

  • You're right, brother! Let us not judge one another, let dear Lord do it instead of us because he is perfectly righteous.

  • Mahalia Jackson is one of my most favorite gospel singers...She's such a legend...

  • mahalia did this song in the movie -imitation of life- very powerful

  • Rest in peace Michael Jackson. You will never be forgotten.

  • we sing this in choir

  • TOP song...Top Lady, Mahalia Jackson is the best singer ever!!!! xox

  • Dam if i ever die i want somone with a very good voice to sing this at my funeral

  • Wow,

    This is the first time I have heard this incredible voice. Where have I been?

    Very touching, powerful and authentic.

  • there's not another singer out there who can match her! she is pure jah!

  • My God this song is Hauntingly beautiful!!! It almost scares me.

  • I concur, but I love it.

  • I hope this song is sung at Michael Jacksons funeral

  • Comment removed

  • It's so powerful, its just the most moving presence of God through her voice. I never tire of her voice. And it makes me stop in my tracks to get every bit of it I can.......Thank you Lord for sharing her with us here on earth!

  • Mahalia has a voice like no other. With her gospel, she has a blues touch, which is something you don't find anymore.

  • My father passed away December 31 2008. And we played this song at his funeral. Very beautiful song. Her voice alone will make you weep.

  • BRILLIANT

  • saperschnute du bist geil

  • It so good because it's real.

  • WOW!

  • This is one of the best gospel songs and gospel singers ever. They do not make songs like this anymore. Remember the funeral scene in Imitation of Life. I need this to be played at my funeral. Thanks for the post.

  • The most beautiful and saddest Gospel ever !

  • This is the saddest yet most beautiful gospel song in the world. And I'm not even a Christian. I'm spiritual though, so when I sing this, I can address this to the creator.

  • at school i have modern dance and i have a dance for this

  • sing on

  • This woman really believed in God!

  • this song is so fitting of the world 2day!!!!

  • i know thats right

  • I LOVE Mahalia Jackson...she has that old school down by the river getting slaves baptized while praying for freedom voice. I mean DAAANG! They just don't MAKE voices like this anymore. She is not just A gospel voice...she is THE gospel voice of all voices.

  • yes, sounds like The Queen of Gospel singing The Gospel Song...i've known Granny Jckson for a few months thanks to the video  "just a closer walk with thee". Somehow immortal since on youtube....

  • i sooooooooooooooo agree!

  • Sorry. I'm not going to fight on a channel with gospel singing in the background. I just won't do it. Just because you don't believe in God, doesn't mean that I don't believe in and have the utmost respect for people who are singing/teaching/preaching His word. Goodbye.

  • Daaang Mahalia...even after all this time, I STILL get chills from the beauty and depth of your voice. May YHWH bless and keep you sister.

  • This is my favortie gospel song of all times and I love how Mahalia Jackson sings it. I hope one day I can do a praise dance to this song and I know that she will be please as how I proform this song in church.

  • This song was sung by my cousin at my great grandmothers funeral and i tell you there wasnt a dry eye in the church. This is a very powerful song!

  • what a great voice for a great person!

  • My mothers favorite song, and when we say goodbye to her this is what we will send her off with,because indeed she will be done with the troubles of this world no more weeping and She will be going home to be with our Father which resides in Heaven! R.I.P Mahalia

  • It doesn't get much better than this. Like others, it sends a shiver up my back. Never get tired of this song or here voice.

  • When God speak, that's His Voice!! If you could activate the link postage,i would be thankfull! best regards!

  • i love her voice it keep me going and it keep me close to my grandmother

  • Con questa voce, e in questa canzone, vi ritrovo la speranza per quella "vita" che non sarà più di passaggio e nella quale il "dolore" sarà solo un ricordo lasciato quaggiù, oggi, giorno dopo giorno.

    TY DeyJohnson

  • Man...Queen Latifa looks so much like her. I bet she could play her in a movie. They both have such strong voices! I loved Mahalia in Imitation of life...gives me chills...

  • God put a voice in her.
