Thank you, from Australia...just discovered you/your family. I was born/raised in Memphis, but have lived in Australia since '79. Thanks to YouTube....am constantly discovering so much music, so much history...so much that is so Valuable/important...God has blessed your family.
This is a very encouraging song for me. Many said I wouldn't make it and that I wouldn't amount to anything, but I thank my God for His keeping power! May God keep on blessing you Debra. Be encouraged girl!
This is one of my childhood favorites and I still love it ,can't stop listening to it.Sounds as fresh to me as it did in the 80's ,her voice has only matured with time and now I really understand the meaning of the song at the age of 44.
"They said I wouldn't make it, they said I'd never amount to anything, but I'm still holding on to His Hands." And more importantly, I am in God’s Hands. God bless you all. Isn't a blessing that God has the last Word!! If God is for me, who can be against me? It really doesn't matter what people say, so hold on to your faith my brothers and sisters.
I found Jesus through this song at the age of 6 years old.now I'm 30yrs and still holding on..Going thru a tuff time currently but God has it under control
Bishop F. C. Barnes was Deborah's uncle; her dad who sang with the Sunset Jubilaires passed a few years ago. I saw Deborah sing Monday/Labor Day and she sang as strong as ever.
@lyelye40 Ok thanks...And I heard about his passing. I know Ambassador Eva Darden, The one who eulogized him. Him and my grandmother were great friends. R.I.P. Bishop
If you are ever going through it. This song will give you a sense of inspiration of standing strong. I thank God for this song!!!!!! Keep holding on my brothers and sisters. God Bless You!!!
My God...I couldnt even stop the tears from flowing...when I think about everything I've been thru even as a young age I have to thank God that I still have a mind to hold on to his hand because many would have given up....Thankful for this song!!!!
I listen to this song when i was a young girl age 10 or 11 and it stuck with me. Now at age 38 i've heard it song many different ways....but never have i heard this song the way she sang it in this video. She sent goose bumps all over me and i know that was the holy spirirt moving. Keep on doing Gods work. You have a beautiful voice:)))
Debra Barnes you are an awesome singer and you sing from the heart and Luther Barnes and your Dad and Uncles are awesome. If this song does not weigh heavy on your heart you don't have a heart.
Luther Barnes and Deborah Barnes and the entire Barnes family are awesome. Had the oppportunity to see Luther Barnes in Cambridge Maryland.Barnes Family you are very sincere in what you sing and you sing from the heart. Keep up the good work as long as God allows you to hold on.
