God used Dottie Rambo in a big way to bring the gospel message to so many lost and bring cheer and comfort to so many hurting hearts, then HE called her home. We don't have to be sad, but I suppose it might be alright to envy where she is now.
I loved listening to & singing this song as a teenager. It is one of my favorite songs about my Lord & Saviour & Master, Jesus Christ. Thank God for the Rock!!! He has carried me through many storms. Praise His name!!!
I be sang this song many times but w a friend as a duet. This is the first time I ve seen a video of her singing it a definitely original take on the song as no one including myself sings it this way. Great songwriter and singer all around. All the crazy comments in here are just that, crazy. Let me just say ppl have the word, "annointed" confused. I ve sang at times that were anointed and sometimes not. To say her lifestyle caused her to not be anointed at times is seriously an ignorant state
WOW! I am now experiencing Dottie for the first time. We are singing this song at my church and the music director emailed us the link to this video clip. I am in love with this glorious singer/songwriter and can't wait to hear more of her joyous and heartfelt music. Thanks for the post. I am also saddened by her tragic death on Mothers Day 2008. God bless her!
What do you turn to? Who do you talk to? Who do you lean on? Has everything failed you? I've got someone that's stood the test of time! He's the ROCK! He's JESUS!
Dottie sings with heart, we saw her put it to the top through the anointing of the Spirit. WOW
No professional can anoint their song, only the Holy Spirit of God. There is a difference between talent with the anointing and talent without the anointing. We know this so well.
am alex i am 8 years old and in 2000 i was murderd i cant say any thing more but i know one thing if you dont post this to 10 vids in 1 hour i will be a your window with a machettean will kill you at 3:30 am.
You know I watch Dottie's music videos over and over. I wish there were more! She was one sharp gal! I don't care what anybody says. She aged gracefully! Actually she was prettier as time went on. What an annointed person she was. I remember her when I was a teenager playin that big ole guitar! People like ky2here's comments are pure ignorance! He or she is a disgrace to the hospitality of the people of Kentucky. It's a shame!
please, stop it! Dottie deserves mad respect for writing such wonderful lyrics, but Whitney tore the mess out of that song! Dottie said herself Whitney's version is phenomenal
Dottie's used to be phenomenal...She used to sing under the mighty annointing when I was a kid. Reba was young! They would come to our church and sing. She had what we called the Dottie Curl...once she turned from what she knew was right, she was not near annointed like she was back then.
True Whitney sang it well, but without the original, without Dottie, who would have known the song to begin with? It's like the song " I Will Always Love You" from Dolly Parton, without the original the re-make would simply not exist.
ok, and what's your point? Dottie and Dolly both take their hat off to Whitney and respect what whitney's done with their songs. Why ya saying otherwise now? Whitney is simply the best.
My point, if you know how to read, is clearly stated in my post "without the original..who would have known the [original] song to begin with?" Dolly and Dottie take their hats off to Whitney as anyone who has the ability to hear would she sang them excellent, I personally grew up hearing the Preacher's wife so thats no surprise. Whitney the best? She was, hopefully she'll comeback and we'll see it again, and uh calm down, this is only internet convo.

Okay young blood, I got your point but it's an understatement dumb ass. "Who would have known the original" duh, When we're prasing Whitney for taking those songs to the top, we are not in any way taking any credit away from Dolly nor Dottie or anyone else Whitney done blow up their songs. And yeah, this is the internet otherwise no one would be subject to the punishment of reading your dumb statements. lol

...obviously you cannot express yourself and must resort to ignorance so you can go on ahead and talk yourself to death since you obviously lack the intelligent capability of fabricating a response in a mature and cohesive way. I guess some people take a little longer to reach the next level of mental ingenuity where a problem is solved without idiotic confrontation and cheap cuss words borne out of the intuitive-less mind of a bottom feeder.

This is coming from the same cheap bastard who attacked me by saying "if you know how to read". Watch what you say to people because clearly the come back may be more than you can handle. You are dismissed as of now. Last comment to you.
I seen Dottie in 1974 playing that guitar! she was wonderful! I have always loved Dottie Rambo. For some reason everyone once to place Dottie's anointing on her outward appearance. Jesus doesn't care about outward appearances if he did he wouldn't have hung out with the prostitutes. God gave Dottie a gift and her gift came from the heart. She went through alot from the"churched people" ,alot of sickness and also a husband who left her during her sickness for another woman.
@girlswithguitars859 Jesus didn't "hang out" with prostitutes because he didn't care about outward appearance. He cast 7 devils out of one of them (Mary) and his message to all was REPENT not live how you want and dress how you want.
Jesus came to save us from our sins not to approve of our lifestyles.
He "hung out" with them so he could tell them where they were living and call them to repentance!
@wonone100 Your absolutely right their is a responsibility that we as christians are EXPECTED to do. One of them is not to LIVE or PLACE someone under condemnation. It defeats the purpose of WHY Christ died on the cross for us. Paul even states not to live under condemnation. People condem people for hair 'THIS IS CHURCHED IDEAS" God had a PLAN for Dottie's life, and THANK YOU LORD!!!! she ran all the way to glory with it. It wiil last until Jesus comes!
Dottie is now reaping the rewards of serving the Savior she loved so dearly. You suffered enough physical and emotional pain in your life. I hope your passing was quick and painless.
yea I'm with you on that - what kind of respect is that to show. At least she's not down here anymore to read comments like ky2here's. She was above that anyway. An amazing woman with an amazing faith.
I know she caked-on the make-up but come-on that not right what you said. The woman died tragically and did write many great songs that touched many. At least show some respect for a dead legend by refraining from insulting her appearance... this was the south in the 80s... big hair and heavy make-up
So you think it is okay to let the devil's kids slide? It is okay with you for someone to insult a wonderful person and decent people are to say nothing? We are to defend and sometimes as Jesus did we need to call them vipers and snakes.
I play music...i love southern gospel even though i'm 28 i love those old songs. Over the years i've done a lot of this lady's songs and didn't even know she wrote them. She has written over 2500 songs! Not too many can say that for themselves...She will be terribly missed. I pray for her family and the Gospel community. There'll never be another quite like her.
I grew up with the Rambos and their songs. This song (along with others) have helped me through many difficult times in my life. I was so stunned to hear of Dottie's passing. My prayers are with all the family n friends.
Dottie Rambo, you have been a tremendous blessing to my life. I grew up listening to what the Lord has given you and it's helped me out of some really tough times. I know it hasn't been an easy road for you but I just hope that serving God has been worth it all!
Dottie Rambo is my hero (:
