Jake Hess, awesome!!! a singer of singers. a very talented man of God who knows how to present a song. he sings life into the dead and food unto the living.
When I cannot sleep and that is often I come to Jake Hess and this song. I am so blessed to have found his music and the music of the Gaither Homecoming Group.
One of my Gospel Music heroes and I can't wait to see him in Heaven someday, what a great man. Got to chat with him at Quartet Convention one year and had him autograph his book he'd written.
Can you imagine having a close circle of friends such as these? They are so blessed which I am sure they all know. All of those wonderful people with such varied testimonies of both the saving and the keeping power of God. And so much knowledge and wisdom amongst them all. There are still so many of the older ones amongst them with years of experience. Just imagine the fun and laughter and the great conversations they all have when they get together - when they're not practicing or even then !
As for just plain old pure vocal talent; Jake Hess; James Blackwood; and Glenn Payne had no equals. This song demonstrates why Elvis thought Jake Hess was the best of the best. Thanks for posting.
Jake and my parents are with the Lord. I sure do miss all of them. Jake's music is always encouraging and I am thankful for his legacy. Miss hearing from Becky and the Hess Family.
A great song written by the incredibly talented Ronnie Hinson and made famous by the Florida Boys. It's no wonder the song was voted the Southern Gospel Music Song of the Year in 1985.
A truely golden voice singing such a meaningful song. Think about it, you and I was on his mind as the blood ran from his body. Thank you Jesus for going and preparing a place for me. The streets of Gold and the thousands singing will surely be worth all of earths trials. I appreciate the post...........makes for a perfect ending to a day when God gave me so much.
Jake Hess is one of the greatest ever. He was a better person than he was singer and that is saying a mouth full. He always had time to speak to everyone. I miss him.
The greatest Gospel Singer ever. If you ever met him he was just as great a man as he was a singer. Always had time for anyone. At the Gatlinburg Gaither concerts he was always available to all.
It does not get any sweeter than that !! We love you Jake.
