Just a Closer Walk With Thee

[sweetcs2006]

I agree. Mahalia singing this at The Newport Jazz Festival Is the most beautiful of all.



[Lovingmusic1965]

One of the best versions ever. this one from Patsy Cline and the one from Mahalia Jackson can't be beat. God loves us and wants us in Heaven with him. Jesus gave his life so that we can be forgiven of our sins and live in Heaven for eternity. Please accept Jesus into your hearts and live for and love God and have Heaven as your home eternal. God bless.

[ajocful]

This is my prayer,

[Rustina61]

I did something really stupid and now I don't think my father will ever forgive me. Dear Jesus, please enter his heart and bring forgiveness and love there. You are the Good Shepherd.

[TheChancesmom]

Patsy is walking with Jesus.

[MrJoeCage]

i really love these old songs. they were my first exposure to music and while i havent really done anything in this direction in my musical life to this point, i believe that i'm going to put together a 12 song set and play around at the local churches. it ought to be fun. god willing

[TOLTECAAZTECA]

Time is coming.....Time in which the Lord is returning to the hearth of men.Time is coming too.Time is good and ready for Christianity to fade....Fade .....Fade away.

[willemlensselinkable]

The best I ever get. Load it down on my I-phone and will listen every day

[somuchpatsy]

to StrumstickJoe:

It means Jesus came to earth through virgin birth, lived a sinless lfe and died on the cross by crucifixion to pay for the sins of all mankind for all time. If you tell Jesus you want Him to be your Savior, forgive you for your sin and live in your heart, you will be saved, receive eternal life and have the assurance of going to Heaven when you die. It most assuredly is not a myth, fantasy or lies. What have you got to lose? Find a bible and read 1 John. God bless you.

[StrumstickJoe]

Will someone to explain to me what “he died for my sins” means; because if “he” died, it was 2,000 years before my first sin. I honestly don’t get it, it requires double-think, and a time-shift. It requires that I imagine myself to be guilty of another’s misdemeanour 4 thousand years earlier than the killing. I find human sacrifice repulsive. At the moment, you see, I am firmly of the opinion that the religious texts are myth, fantasy and lies, and I chose those words carefully.

Peace on earth.

[nanhelen]

@StrumstickJoe: Jesus came, paid the price for the idoltry Adam and Eve thrust upon the earth, choseing to live outside of God's will. No eternal salvation from the sins of idoltry, no light on earth, no power of the Holy spirit, to help find our way back to the grace of the Father, who gave us breath, life, and LOVE.

God knew and Loved us, but we did not know Him. We have little time to surender our Lives to Jesus, to be ready to go with Him.

Evil will be swept away, befor he returns.

[HardRokMiner]

My mom used to sing this all the time when I was growing up. She was so tiny but her voice was as big as the sky. Hearing it just now brought her back to me for a few minutes and hit me like a ton of bricks. God Bless you mom and I miss you so much.

[marcia94079]

amooooo essa musica!

[Arno735]

Closer,closer yet ever closer to Thee gentle Shephard !!!!

[Halofann]

I need to find a church and accept christ as my savior and keep him with me but being 19 and going into college that is the hardest part I need help of anyone has anything to say let me know

[jolewis814]

@Halofann  Seek and you shall find. God is waiting for you to accept Him.

[Gloopular]

@Halofann Find a church near campus - kind of what i did many moons ago when i was in your shoes. You can connect with their youth group to do fun stuff - try and find a church with a lot of young people. There might even be Youth Groups on campus to connect with and lend a shoulder to lean on. This can counter some of the worldly temptations that are surely to come your way on campus - for the rest be patient and always look to Christ!

[royaleagle1961]

@Halofann You can always find The Lord, if you're ready! He is always ready! Just simply accept Him the moment you've feel His present in your heart calling you! just that simple. then when you've "find" Him, that religion with NEVER leave you! It will ever kept you! not you trying to keep Him anymore! Blessed be the name of the LORD!

[Halofann]

@royaleagle1961 Thank You your words are kind

[UR2AwesomeGod]

Jesus said. Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes my Father who sent me. Whoever is the least among you is the greatest. Luke 9 vs 48. Help me have a child like faith Father. Help me be humble and serve the people you have put me amongst. Amen.

[dbeavers2000]

The pictures in this video reminds me of when I was a young kid going to Sunday School. Man that was some years ago.

Bring up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it. Thank you Jesus for walking close with me.

[onebaud]

I am an atheist but I still think this song, and many gospel songs are beautiful and cannot be surpassed. Patsy Cline was and is a legend because her voice is so wonderful.

[royaleagle1961]

@onebaud I can never understand how a person who been touched by the beaitiful present of the Lord, and still can remain as an atheist, I don't understand, really.

[sakinehbs]

@royaleagle1961 :and how do we know for sure that person was touched by the present of the lord, no one knows for sure if there is God or not , its all man made, fairy tails story that has been past on to us from our parents to children and so on…... I do respect every one’s opinion but I refuse to be told what to believe or not to believe.

[royaleagle1961]

@sakinehbs If you think that God was only happened in your imagination ? thats what you'll think in your the intellectual realm! sure, you have a choice to believe or not to believe. ...Is He a living Being? but can a woman give birth and not knowing it? can a person truely met God and not knowing It? Thats what I thought.

[sakinehbs]

@royaleagle1961 :Sorry don't get what you are trying to say, is this like a prove of God or something? Yes woman get pregnant every day and don’t know it, have you not watch the program that shows woman get pregnant and didn’t know it until they give birth? Or a 65 years old woman gets pregnant with twins? I think if you read more science book you will find an answers to all that. I’m not trying to fight you over religion, like I said before I respect every one opinion.

[royaleagle1961]

@sakinehbs You might don't know you get pregnant, but surely a woman should know she ever GAVE BIRTH or not, right? thats what I mean, if you ever met God, if that wasn't just happened in your imagination or intellectual conception, surely you'll know what is the PRESENT OF GOD if you ever met Him. Yes, theology can't make a believer out of you, Its the REALITY OF THE PERSENT OF GOD that make the difference. I'm not trying to be critical but obviously that haven't happened to you yet.

[topaz5858]

Fantastic songs reminds my youth days in Carey Baptist Church.....

[Dablkwid0w2008]

Im so sorry if anyone lost anyone, but not to make light of this video. Im laffing at how Jesus is illustrated everywhere..At the baseball game Jesus Flat tire there's Jesus...dry cleaners there's Jesus..Im sorry Im very silly

[alstrand]

@Dablkwid0w2008 : I agree, it seems silly- the part I have the hardest time with is the blonde hair white skinned Jesus being born in the middle east. But true that this song is a great help to people who have lost people close to them. A beautiful song

[Rustina61]

My brother-in-law died last night, he is now at peace with Jesus at his side. I just had to listen to this song, to find some measure of comfort.

[paintacres]

@Rustina61 I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you are doing well and coping as best you can and finding comfort in music and meditation. My 2 grandchildren were killed by a drunk driver and without music I would never have survived the sadness and turmoil that accompanied the loss of our loved ones.

[Rustina61]

@paintacres You are a very kind person, thank you for your sympathy. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful grandchildren. So many things we don't understand, but music does indeed help to soothe the soul. God Bless You.

[jessicawabbit345]

We sang this song at my father's funeral. I love this song but it does make me sad.

[tomato6999]

@jessicawabbit345 sorry for your loss but as we know jesus is there for us the picture of jesus embracing the man just says it all. your fathers life on earth is over but his etrnal life with jesus has just begun.one day you will be with your father and jesus,keep faith and see. god bless you friend

[iluvsmusic53]

[saannie55]

I've never heard Patsy Cline sing this hymn, thanks for sharing, she had the most beautiful voice.

[lillucy120]

So Beautiful.

[naymelful]

Beautiful! Never heard her sing it. Thank-you.

[MyMC888]

Thank you Nick. You are a kind hearted man. This song brings me tears when I hear it. I can never forget those that has passed on. God Bless you.

[Rustina61]

The picture at 1:57 reminds me of the poem "Safely Home".

[Licmycat]

Wow...that reminded me...GOD touches all doctors he is is supporting.....not many now are there?

[wettsandable]

THIS SONG ALWAYS BRING TEARS TO MY EYES

[MuttonChops9000]

Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. God Bless You, dear friend, you are playing your guitar in heaven. We love you, Nick.

[MyMC888]

Thank you for this song. Very encouraging and inspiring. My Cousin's first song on the stage now he's gone with Lord. I love this song it reminds me of him. God Bless you.

[Rustina61]

Thank you for this song. It means a lot to me, especially today.

[GuerillaReporter]

Oh the music in heaven with Patsy there. Wow!

[texcaldel]

Thanks for posting beautiful song , beautiful voice and beautiful art.

[Physicspilot]

If this was a video about a person being hit in the groin with a stick,it would have had a record view..but 166075 viewers here know that the words in this song are satisfying and amusing than any other thing!

**Thanks for posting!

[CurlyHairChris]

Beautiful song, beautiful pictures. They capture what this song is about. God bless you for this, snotface7. (snotface ?? LOL)

[TheElinsonja]

Hej denne film er rigt god, hvor får du de dejlige billeder fra? Gud være med dig.

[agabriandt]

I love this song!! Jesus keep me from all wrong!! He lead me wherever i go..... He prepares the way safely for me to walk through!! I love you my gracious God.. You are the best!! Don't know what i would have done without your love and care!! God bless you for the post...

[wierdtanz]

Jesus keep me from all wrong....

[whisperhopestbls]

I hope she knew the Lord when she died. Her music has done so much for so many.

[niceley335]

Guide me 'til the end Lord.

[whisperhopestbls]

This song never gets old.

[CurlyHairChris]

I honestly think that most people listening and watching this will find themselves in tears. It makes me cry, so moving.....

[claytonjcs]

This was one of my mom's and I favorite gospel songs. Love it!

[Balloulady]

@claytonjcs This wasone of my dad's favourite songs.

[hajune]

God was she ever good singing this sacred song! Wish she lived long enough to grace us with more gospel songs. For me she was the very best at singing gospel songs. There are only 2 studio recordings and 1 public recording of her singing gospel music. What a shame.

[cjjorgensen]

This is the most touching version I have ever heard of this song.

[shawnnalove01]

Patsy<3

[DottiesDoodles]

Through this world of toil and snares,

If I falter, Lord, who cares?

Who with me my burden shares?

None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

When my feeble life is oer,

Time for me will be no more;

Guide me gently, safely oer

To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

[chak9141]

@DottiesDoodles In the trumatic hostage suffering in Philiphine, He is the answer.

[SuperGrace20]

grace

[Doublebandman]

as a nurse i have sung this to so many persons in my care that were making the transition from this life...it is awsome tto be able to do so....

[royaleagle1961]

@Doublebandman God bless your heart! For it so good to the soul just to know that the present of the Lord go before thee, no matter where you are. " I'll never leave you nor forsake you." Amen!

[Sachiel76]

@Doublebandman That's admirable and so very kind hearted of you! Thank you for doing such a great thing for your patients, not many would take the time. I don't know where you're located but I pray when my time comes I have a nurse as wonderful as you.

[winggoddess]

[skocit]

I love the message of the song sung by Patsy Cline

[pinkfloydn1fan]

[sunshinehi]

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

James 4:8 KJV

[MultiPlonker]

A wonderful discovery here in the tube.

A beautiful song by Patsy Cline.

Music to close your eyes over, just to listen and understand your inner self..

[KULGUY2009]

LUV THIS SONG

[hajune]

If Patsy had done a whole album of gospel songs it would have been legendary. She was to put it simply , the very best!

[PrettyVillan]

@hajune  YES!!!!

[laserbilliards]

[cazfo99]

Thank You! Awsome video,Patsy dose it well,i love he voice.

[richmond450]

A modern popular country singer just recorded this but I can't remember her name. It was on an album full of gospel songs sung by modern stars. Any ideas?

[zener39]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[generationll]

[pamw13]

Great video, I love this song!

[belovedmarie]

What a beautiful rendition,it brought tears to my eyes.With the way the world is right now,everybody needs to take a closer walk with the Lord.I am trying to take a closer walk with our Lord,but,sometimes my walk isn't always what it should be.Just some thoughts from a simple and humble man.

[UA767]

Is that the Jordanaires singing background?

[VASINGER]

Yes, its the Joranaires. Patsy was reluctant to work with "4 big male singers" at first, but she warmed up to them, and they didnt' stomp all over her vocals as did the Anita Kerr singers.

[Ries1948]

This is the real voice of Patsy Cline.

I love Patsy

[melodydamor]

Just a closer walk with Thee,

Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,

Daily walking close to Thee,

Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

[rblwoaclu]

[eddiebatmv]

My Mother loved Patsy Cline and her music. We used this song at her funeral.  This song seems to help ease the pain.

[mrlemmon]

@eddiebatmv There is one song that was at my Grandfather's funeral.I don't know the name of it,But some of the lyrics is I don't want no other masters.

[SuperGrace20]

i love this  song

[irina5575]

@eddiebatmv my mom passed 9 yrs ago and it still hurts as if it were yesterday but you carry on

[tomato6999]

@eddiebatmv this is a wonderfuly heart wrenching vid and song.i love patsy cline and this song the vid shows that jesus is with us allways.

[ttlms]

As soon as she starts singing, all the goosebumps just rise up all over me. I hope Patsy's been having a closer walk all these years.

[monumentfloyd]

Patsy is in heaven. This I know. Because Jesus came to her one time when she was in the hospital. She was saved.
