  • magnificent

  • A song about Jesus always has a wonderfull rhapsody.

    Thank you Rev. Gary Davis for being a true witness for Jesus Christ.

  • @dontdodrugzz1 haha yeah ok

  • Lead Belly also did a version, his is very similar to blind Willies but in typical Lead Belly fasion he tells a story about the song as he sings it. All three of those guys were absolute masters at what they do, but for me, Blind Willie Johnson is the most powerful.

  • Blind Willie Johnson recorded a powerful version of this song as well, their styles make a beautiful contrast I think.

  • Ill be darned. One of his Ive never heard before. Thanks.
