  • All of Vern's 'Gospel Album' is as uplifting as any out there. Thanks, flashbell, for the music....

  • I love this song. God bless us all.. God loves us and gives us Heaven as our eternal home. Jesus gave his life so we could be in Heaven for eternity. Please accept Jesus as your Saviour and live for and love God and let Heaven be your home.

  • One of my favorite gospel songs...RIP Vern !!!!!!!

  • I think the Christian songs of then are better than Christian songs today, it seems the older songs "to me": say so much more.

  • Vern sings with the Angels today! :)

  • Wonderful Singer!

  • This truly blesses my soul.

  • vern is still awesome

  • Thank you This song is just as Vern said it would be excellent - This song is a wonderful adaptation of what I ask of Christ every day - guide me

  • I sang this song with my Momma and Daddy. My brothers sang it as well, once I was grown I sang it to my kids. My Mom loved Vern Gosdin. I lost my Mom in Jan of 2009. I hear it now, and close my eyes and I can still hear her singing it with me. I love you Momma. This will always remind me of you and Daddy and the boys.

  • vern lived that kind of life. his music will always live through all believers.in god,in country, in life. i wish i could have seen him live.

  • I'm looking forward to heaven with Vern Gosdin

  • Well Vern, we all know Jesus aint letting go! Enjoy His ever loving hands.

  • I LOVE TO HEAR THIS MAN SING HE IS SO WONDERFUL PLEASE PUT MORE OF HIS SONGS ON AND ALSO WHERE DO YOU FIND HIS MUSIC THANK YOU

  • is lou reid singer tenor?

  • This song brings out so many emotions. It reminds me so much of my Dad that I lost last year (he loved Vern). It reminds me where I came from (a farm in KY aka the "country"). It reminds me that Jesus is with me every day no matter what I face. It keeps me humble and reminds me of the power of prayer. I hope when I get to heaven, I can sing this to the top of my lungs with Dad and Vern. Until then and as the song says " Dear Lord look down on me"...

  • This one of my al ltime gospel greats sung by one of my favorite artist..Vern G.

    true'er words are hard to find ...great song....

  • Excellent! What a pick me up!! TY so much for sharing this!

    

  • What ever happen to music like this in church. This kind of music will put the spirt in you

  • what ever happen to music like this in church

  • No one can sing this song like Vern Gosdin. I love it.

    Ginnie

  • puts his heart and soul in every son he sings...miss him

  • I love this whole video. It's great to see Vern and to hear him tell the story about his choice of the musicians and this old song. I recall singing this many years ago when I was a child in an old church where my grandparents attended. The style used here is great and is very uplifting. The song is wonderful. Thanks - Paula

  • Every time I hear this song it reminds me so much of my papaw, who passed away Sept 05. Thank you Lord for blessing Vern with the talents he had to create such a powerful song.

  • I love this song. I cant sit still when Vern Gosdin sings this you can feel the Holy Spirit through it. Even though Vern has gone to heaven he still lives on throught this song and many more. God Bless him and his family. I would love to get the CD of this but have been unable to locate it. Peace be with everyone. God really loved this man.

  • @verngosdin123 the cd is simply called 'the gospel album' by vern gosdin. it's available most any where

  • I love this song and you just made my day!!! Thank you so much!! :)

  • Love this guy what a talent . He is home .

  • I love this song, but i am going to be completely honest and say that it has an odd ending. This is onlymy opinion. Love your music Vern,

  • GOD LOVES YOU ALL!!! EVEN THE YOUTUBER xD

  • One of the great talents and class acts of Country Music - sorely missed!

  • i love good ole country gospel and this is one of the best,,,

  • Miss hearing Vern Gosdin in person. Saw him twice at The Schoeneck Fire company Carnival here in PA. close to my home. What awsome shows will never forget them. You and my Dad are singing together now!!

  • JOB WELL DONE..RIP

  • Something that I have not seen mentioned - Vern Gosdin married traditional country honky tonk with Stamps-Baxter style of Southern Gospel and made it work. This is a perfect example. He also threw in a touch of Western Swing to make it a goof foot-stomping, hand-clapping feel-good Christian song. Just don't get any better than that.

  • i love me some vern and Jesus!

  • Vern Gosdin was a musical genius...he was called "The Voice"...when you hear him sing this---and everything he ever recorded---you can understand why! Thanks for sharing this wonderfully informative tribute to this man...

  • i posted a comment yesterday but i had to come back and say this.THANKS for putting this video on here,it is the BEST version .I love to hear ole Vern sing anything,but this just tops everyone that has recorded it.Lord i've cried every time i replayed it but again its great.it squeezes at your heart,Thanks again .i love it Lord bless everyone

  • Comment removed

  • this is the best gospel i've ever heard and i thought i'd heard the best before this one. pat your foot through the whole song ,lord hold all of our hands.

  • I knew Vern and I still miss him everyday.

  • There is no other country singer. (But as much as I love Ray Flacke's playing and style, I think Vern took the high road here for not mentioning that Ray is a jerk.) That's why you gotta love Vern.

  • Merry Christmas to all the Vern Gosdin fans everywhere. Your support means so much. Let's hear it for The Voice.

  • I like this song. Love Vern Gosdin but never heard this one. My 26 yr old brother died in a car wreck three weeks ago. Looking for inspiration, this song helps.

  • his songs really touch your heart, we all need Jesus holding our hand.

  • THANKS VERN

  • god bless the artist who brought us music like this and the ones who keep it alive

  • On Sundays, we'd sit around the table for late lunch ... Grandma and Momma were great cooks ... for some reason right now, I'm thinking of the honey comb she cut out of the bee hive and put on the table for the biscuits ... fresh honey .. wow ... thanks for posting this song ...... I'm traveling alone now, except for Jesus who's holding my hand, and somedays I miss her so much, HE CARRIES ME THROUGH THE DAY.

  • Thanks to all the fans for keeping the memory alive.

    Let's hear it for The Voice !!

  • AMEN !!!!!

  • man what a song... make you wanna dance!!!!!

  • Best of the best right here great voice we miss you vern but heaven is rewarded with your wonderful voice

  • Great job Vern! Man this guy had a voice that wouldn't wait! Guess that's why he was called the voice. He will be missed terribly but God has a great singer in heaven.

  • i love this song!!! man o man...... reminds me of the music my grandma used to play in church.. at ider church of god...sand mtn.. alabama  when she'd pick that guitar and sing like this song...lol... she's singin with angels now!! no doubt!!!

  • Love yall fellow sisters and brothers. I hope that God Blesses each and everyone of you. I also hopes that He blesses those who are lost, especially those who don't believe in Him. Maybe they will see what they are missing and what they are gonna miss out on if they don't realize that there is someone who can save us from damnation. Anyways, I know it looks like I am writing a book, but I just had to say all of that. Sorry, if I got on anyone's nerves.

  • I love these precious comments. I tell you, today was just a good day. I felt the spirit all day long. It is still nice to see people not giving up on the Lord. God Bless you all. I can't wait until we see Jesus's face and hold His hand for real. I want to thank Him for dying on the cross for me so I can have everlasting life. The world needs a revival so bad; especially America. We were once a Christian nation and it feels that some of us have turned our backs on Him. Love yall.

  • Years ago I flew home into the Nashville airport. A co-worker and I were walking down the airport behind Vern. Jim tapped him on his shoulder and said “don’t I know you”? I’m “Jim W”. Vern said “I’m Vern Gosdin”. Jim said “Can’t say that I know you, what do you do”? Vern said “I sing a little bit”. Jim said “Good for you – good luck to you”. Vern said “thanks”. Vern Gosdin didn’t put on any airs. I gained a ton of respect for Vern Gosdin that day.

  • man, my grandma used to pick a guitar like this and sing this bluegrass

  • His voice is beautiful and I am loving the words...heart and SOUL!

  • I listen to this song at least once a day to help me make it through the day!!!

  • @dustyroseFL, what an uplifting comment!

  • @dustyroseFL  amen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @dustyroseFL man your life must really suck

  • I too listen to this song often, It gives me hope!

  • @dustyroseFL Vern's music is heard in my house everyday. His 'Gospel Album' is the best there is....

  • Thank you Dear Jesus, for holding my hand and making stronger so that I do not seek revenge would only put me in prison for the murderers of my brother who still walk the streets just as if they haven't done anything. It has been five years since I last saw him. He was buried on my daughter's second birthday and whether it was an accident or not, they have yet to offer an apology.

    I pray each night that I have the willpower to be the better person if and when I ever see them again.

  • VERN GOSDIN AINT IN THE HALL OF FAME? YOUVE GOT TO KIDDING!!!!!!!!!

  • This was beauitful....awesome video! Thanks so much for posting..RIP Vern

  • Truly one of Alabama's good ole boys. Years ago he and his brother performed together. Alone, Vern rose to the top. Always loved hearing his songs. He reminds me of my favorite singer, Don Williams. They both have wonderful voices.

  • RIGHT

    Now HE hold his hands, really.

    Ciao Vern, rest in peace

  • I love the piano in this song! Miss you Vern.

  • We have truly lost a good person and a great country music and gospel singer. Rest in peace my friend.

  • We loved this man and he was a great singer and he will be missed. Go rest high on that mountain, your work on earth is done. We will Cu over yonder

  • This wonderful old gospel song is done so perfectly by Vern. What a Who's Who of musicians he has gotten together here. Fantastic. I've loved this song all of my life and I cried the first time I heard it sung here by Vern. The words to this song are so meaningful and Vern's explaining how he made all of his choices of musicians to help him out is so poignant. Even tho it makes me cry to hear it I do get a warm and happy feeling listening to Vern's terrific voice.Thank you for posting.--Paula

    May peace find each and everyone of you. Do not put off 'till tomorrow what your heart tells you to do today.

  • Vern touched so many people he was probably unaware of. I'm a old country boy from Indiana and have loved his music and his gentle nature for years. Vern was the best. I am so sad.  I keep going over and over playing his songs. My deepest sympathy to his family.

  • Vern we love ya man! Your memory will live on. But we'll miss you!

  • May you rest in peace. Now you can hold Jesus hand my friend.

  • I got to meet him too. Backstage at The Opry. He said to me, "You wanna cup of coffee Son?" I said to him, Yessir! It was then I realized I was talking to Vern ! Wow! And what a nice man he was. My prayers are with his family. Thanks Vern!

  • I will agree with you on that
