I remember my mother singing this song in church. She had the most beautiful voice. I had never heard this song before until I heard her singing it. The last time I remember her singing it, (before she became ill and passed away), she was cooking and singing. I will never forget this song, because it was the prettiest sounding song I ever heard her sing.
Thank you You Tube. Now I can hear all the wonderful songs from my high school years. Very inspirational. You can just close your eyes, lister to the words and just say Thank you Lord.
My dad would play this on piano and my sister sang it. For years I didn't know the name of it. Growing up, whenever I wanted to hear it, I'd say daddy play the pretty song for me and he'd give me that look that all dad's have that asked which one and I'm hum it and then he'd play it for me. This is beautiful, but my dad interpreted the instrumental differently and I'll always love my dad's version more. Arthritis won't let my dad play as much, but occasionally he'll bless me with this song.
Consider you lucky in knowing how to use the computer. Many people your age don't even know how to turn it on... Let alone leave a comment on the internet.
My grandparents from both sides of my family don't know how to use a computer. Their siblings don't know how to use a computer, most of their friends don't know how to use a computer. Most of the people from my church (who are over the age of 5o) don't know how to use a computer.
I am normally with older people. As in, somebody who are 5o-79. I only stated that you are lucky on knowing how to use a computer. I wish my grandparents could use one.
Please accept this correction in the right spirit, because I don't mean to be rude. The peak number is correct, but the year was 1955. As a footnote, I don't believe you'll find one Gospel recording on the pop charts these days...
Perfect song for this Resurrection Sunday. Thank You Almighty Father for sending Your Son to forgive my sins... AND then give me the Holy Spirit to help me in this life AND for the promise of eternal life yet to come. Thank YOU!
03/15/11 THERE ARE NO SINGERS TODAY WHO CAN COMPARE WITH THESE HEAVENLY VOICES FROM YESTERDAY. THANKS FOR POSTING. THESE BEAUTIFUL SONGS BRING BACK SO MANY WONDERFUL TIMES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT CAN NEVER BE DUPLICATED WITH THE MUSIC OF TODAY. roselli
I remember finding this on one of my mother's 78 albums when I was 8 years old. It made a huge impact then, more than 50 years ago, and again a couple years ago when I happened to hear it on a XM oldies station. No one can beat Al Hibbler's version! Thanks for sharing!
This song brings back memories. It was one of my mother's favorite. I use to hear her sing along with it in the early 50s. I was about 4 or 5. She passed on two years ago at the age of 93.
A powerful voice to sing a powerful song with a powerful message. To feel it is to experience it and cherish it. Thank you for posting this wonderful, inspirational song. ( Brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. )
@BrickPa I am afraid we do not produce those great voices and styles anymore. it's unfortunate, but young people decide what type of music is produced. They do not "demand" the great voices.
thank you for the wonderful song. My wife loves this song so much, we even recorded together and uploaded the video :).
it never occured to me that the singer was the very same person who sang "Unchained Melody"

He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner calls and always finds him there
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say "I forgive"
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say "I forgive"
He forgives
