This song was written by an ex slave. The irony is that many white racists sing this song and don't even know that the writer was expressing the plight of black people just out of slavery.

@macmanlb White racists? There will not be any racist in Heaven, and there will be few, if any, who threw around that word on earth as carelessly as you just did. Let's just celebrate the meaning and effect of the lyrics without casting blanket remarks. It's a wonderful song which has been sung by many wonderful Saints, and we'll understand it better by and by. God Bless

His name is Geron Davis.

You cannot compare Elvis to these singers or any other gospel singer. It all has to do with each person individually. It the soul of each person that interprets how a song is sung, felt, and heard my others.

[chloecalli1]

Elvis Presley was raised on this kind if music. You just can not compare these singers to Elvis. Everyone has their own personal feel and way in gospel music.

I loved the Gaither videos when they were recorded in this format. They just seemed to be extremely spontaneous and more personal. The ones now seem so fake and some of the people they have now, I have NO idea who they are.

[pastorchrisabz]

There's a big difference between Elvis and these people!

[greymsc]

Which Video?

Howard, Jake, and Lillie! Wonderful song, better singers! Gees, how much better can you expect? I think it's better than Elvis Presley's recording 'way back then'!!!! LOL....thanks Hoover4000 for the great post!  PTL!

[jakehess27]

I really have to agree with you 100%, i would listen to these great old singers sing over any other!

[Rachalone]

marco31768: I listen to every word of every Elvis song:). Not a day goes by that I don't watch and listen to a video of him singing.

I love Jake, Howard, Vestal, Bill & Gloria..all of these precious people.

And I just couldn't make it without The Lord, holding my hand.

Great song! This tune was recorded by Elvis Presley on May 27, 1966 at RCA' Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee and it was released on "How great Thou art" LP in 1967.
