I have seen several of Danny Gaithers videos and he is always smiling. Not a fake i'm on camera smile but a real testament to his relationship with Christ. Another way we witness without even realizing we are.
The song starts at 3:44 I wanted to hear the song not Gloria. I don't like when she says the song. In the words of Mark Lowry, "either sing it or quote it, I don't hear it twice."
I was blessed and privilged to hear and see the original Bill Gaither Trio twice -- and I will always remember the beauty of those nights! They were absolutely GLORIUS, and the Lord was in those places!!
wow what a beautiful witness as song so very true ,thanks for posting it. i love this song and have all my life as we sang it at church especially at easter . all my years growing up. and then even more in my adult years as well. as long as those church doors were open there was great gospel music.
What Gloria says in this is exactly why I never worry about whats going on in this world because I know I KNOW that we will get through whatever it is that happens in this world because he is there and he lives and he will bring us through.
I use to have te annivery album set with this song on it until a robber came in and stole my record player with all ten albums on it. Hope they played it and were inspired by it. I really miss that set. True, because he lives I can face tomorrow.
I remember going with my mom to the Greensboro Coliseum to see the Gaither Trio and hearing this song. The song touched me then, and it was a song that stuck in my head through the years through the good and bad.
In 1996 when my mom was taken by leukemia the words came back in my mind over and over again. We recorded myself singing it and it was played for her funeral.
She was taken too soon, but she grounded me early in the church and music with the Gaithers.
I have the "Because He Lives" album, and hearing Danny sing this just brings back so many memories of the first time I saw the Bill Gaither Trio....had never heard of them before, but went down and bought SIX of their albums at intermission!!!
this song was a special request of my father at the funeral of my dear mother in november of 2007. god bless bill, gloria, and danny gaither for this song - they will always remain in my heart as perhaps the greatest family group in the history of modern gospel music!
do love this song ... I grew up listening to the Gaithers..While growing up I belonged to a schism of the Anderson Church of God ,,even thought we where seperated there was that wonderful connection through the Gaithers.. Gloria and Bill have been wonderful Christian role models for decades.
I AM MEMBER OF AND ERSON MOVEMENT BUT IN 1970 got married and my wife was a methodist so i have been methodist since but my heart still belongs to the ANDERSON movement... did you ever know MALCOM REGAL..?PASTOR.. Spelled wrong.
Thanks so much for posting this version with the interview. Your ministry has truly blessed so many...I look forward to meeting you in Glory...Because He lives!
I am begging you Ms. Hoover to find a song for me. I have been unsuccessful for a year now. I cannot find the song by the Gaither Trio
I do not know the title, but the content of the song is " jesus is the music , satan tried to stop the music, the music died for 3 days, and then the music starts up again"
Here's some trivia: Danny's performance was done at the Toronto affiliate of CTV. It is an excellent performance on par with any gospel song Elvis did. RIP Danny, you are now closer to the Lord!
i'm sitting here almost in tears. i love the gaithers. and i'm part of a generation who is all about beats and what music sounds cool. I love the gaithers because they, and the people in the homecoming sing songs that lift me up when i'm down. it is also really good to hear danny gaither's voice again.
What a Joy to hear Danny again. I had both Danny and Bill as teachers in high school and I remember Danny bringing in tapes of the group singing before they became so famous. They were both great teachers. How ironic this song with Danny sing fighting lifes final battle in pain. I am so glad his singing is on CD's so we can hear him anytime.
Thanks for sharing this. Gloria's sharing is very touching and it helped me to appreciate this song better. Their faith in God is very encouraging. Praise Him.
I grew up with the Gaithers at my church. They are still the small town people they always were. I remember Gloria ordering Tupperware from my mom and going to their house to deliver it. Their music is timeless. Thanks for posting this.
When I was a smart-mouthed teenager I thought the Gaither's were about the corniest thing ever. Now? As a grandfather? I savor them. I cherish them. I thank God for them! What a blessing they have been to, literally, millions! Thank you, Gaither's!
On one of his albums Danny and Gloria speak on how they were invited by ELvis a few years before he passed to discuss his live and the end it. I am sure ELvis thought often of that talk they had.
I have some old video tapes that show Danny after he got so sick, but this is the first time i have ever heard him sing. What a voice. Thank you for posting this wonderful song and this wonderful version of it.
I'm not even Baptist, and I love this arrangement:)
