Mighty Clouds of Joy

[2Catangel]

Holy Jesus, let your love seize us Jesus

these words just connect to my soul and the first time I heard this song I felt the presence of The Holy Spirit. What a beautiful song sung by a truly sweet Christian man.

[melodymyheart]

This song give me hope and I can feel Gods love and his arms around me.

[mjfoghat]

every time I need some inspiration, I come back to this wonderful B J Thomas song, Holy Jesus, let your love seize us Jesus

[beachman831]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a voice!

[incavos]

A WONDERFUL song sung by a GREAT singer! Thanks for posting this

[prettycountrygirl2]

First time that I remember hearing this. Sounding good BJ Thomas. Thanks for posting this.

[golfeufaula]

This song was written by a friend of mine, Buddy Buie from Dothan, Alabama. Buddy is best remembered for forming and writing most of the songs for the "Atlanta Rhythm Section"

[sundroid]

@golfeufaula

Many thanks for the info. I've just found out that Buddy Buie also wrote many of my favorites: "Traces", "Spooky", "Stormy" - made famous by Classics IV. Wow, outstanding accomplishment!

[fab4fan4ever64]

@golfeufaula GO, BUDDY BUIE !! B.J. really did justice to this song...Count me as a fan...

[marcusohara57]

@golfeufaula

Buddy Buie is your friend? He has written some truly great songs. This one is my favorite. I've probably sang and played it hundreds of times. Let him know that Marc O'Hara appreciates his work. Thanks.

I first heard this song in the summer of '71 when I was going to summer school my first year of college.The love of my life,Jeri, was going there too and I was on top of the world.I didn't realise it was a religious song. I didn't really listen to the lyrics, but I knew that it was very uplifting. I was in love and it made me feel really good. Jeri is not with me,but I have B.J. Thomas to listen to and is he good or what? What a great singer and remarkable talent! May he be with us a long time

[2Catangel]

This is truly one of my favorite B.J. Thomas songs of all time and just brings joy to my soul!

[JustAnnie51]

I absolutly LOVE this song - peace and inspiration,, thank you for posting it :)

[Phil4545]

I love this song but what about the oil well?

I worry about the Mighty Waves of Oil Come Rollin In.

[MountainGyspy]

I love this tune.

[cbob7]

I'm not religious at all, but this is such a terrific and uplifting song. One of my favorites from this hugely talented, soulful, underrated vocalist.

[badbadboy68]

Play this at my funeral.....as people dance up the isle on the way out..... SPIRIT in the SKY to begin with....and THIS ONE to end with.......

[luckyrog777]

Great song! It soars from beginning to end!

[Phil4545]

Thank you! I stumbled across viewing other BJ Thomas songs. What a voice!

[bjclark1017]

BJ Thomas is incredible, period end of statement. I'd like to hear any of today's artists even try to sing his songs. Burt Bacharach and Hal Davud didn't select him to sing their songs because he had no talent! Damn is he good. For quite a while they would 'churn' out the songs and the female vocals went to Dionne Warwick, and the male vocals went to BJ Thomas. A nice formula for success, don't you think?

[ssstate727]

@bjclark1017 Totally agree with you! Actually it was Dionne Warwick who finally put her foot down with Bacharach, demanding that he give "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" to BJ Thomas after Ray Stevens turned the song down. Dionne and BJ then recorded a duet of "Make it Easy On Yourself" that Scepter Records never released.

[Aiesha2005]

This is so pretty...fits the song to me..

[chickiesgrettagirl]

[Ontario0925]

Classics BJ Thomas song from the Summer of 1971. I have the song by him on my Christmas Various Artists Mixed Oldies along with Apollo 100's-Joy,Jose Feliciano's-Feliz Navidad,Johnny Mathis's-Calypso Noel,James Brown's-Soulful Christmas and Chuck Berry's-Run Run Rudolph and many other's between 1939 and 1972.

[marctrainor]

Man, let's take it to church on this one. I used to play this over and over because it was doing something to my heart. I need to get back to that feeling, and hope. Marc.

[marctrainor]

I had this song on a 45RPM record way back when, and I used to play it over and over because it had so much feeling. Man, this is one of the hottest things B.J. Thomas ever did, in my opinion. By the way, I don't what the heck happened to that 45. Darn it!!!!!!! Marc Trainor.

[Annettesmusic]

Great song. It is hard to find. I first heard it in 1975 by a great gospel-soul group but I don't know their names. What a version it was!

Thanks for posting.

[gsdlvr123]

Praise God!!

[nogoy55]

Thanks for posting this. What a great song! Very difficult to find!

[envirovision]

It's great the way Mr Thomas sings this. And it sounds like so much fun hearing it in his voice..he's sure got one of those listen to it all day variety's doesn't he. Thanks for putting this up.

[Sagitaricorn]

Not an easy song to find. I first heard this wonderful song on a K-Tel hits album my mom bought back in the day. I loved it then. Alas, the record was lost and I had such a time finding it. Thanks.

[marksmail2]

[scepter1970000000000]

Great song. Could you do a video for Long Ago Tomorrow by BJ Thomas. Is a great song with a great story. Again great job on this one. Isn't the 70's music better than today garbage?

[gojo431]

Nice sunset.  You also do a great job with your horizon line. Slow motion really adds to this video.
