Thanks for sharing this beautiful song by

Cynthia Clawson. She truly worships the Lord with her voice, which is so very anointed!!!

I first heard of Cynthia Clawson's singing abilities on the movie "A Trip to Bountiful" 1985, where this tune was the opening song in a beautiful meadow. It is a sweet southern and beautiful movie starring Geralding Page and Rebecca Demoinay, about an elderly woman's last request to see her old abandoned home town. Her rendititon of this song on the movie made it one of my favorite hymns. Thanks for posting!

This song is one of the most stirring songs of the church, how many times did I hear it as a young man in church, my mother and some ladies sang it at the alter service. and I too heard it on the Movie "The Trip to Bountiful" and was so moved by Cynthia's rendition.

I, too, first heard Cynthis Clawson singing in the Movie THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL. It imprinted in my poor mind and I wasn't happy till I finally found the soundtrack recording years later. The movie version is far superior to any of her other (numerous) recordings of this same hymn, IMHO. She still sounds good but, oh, the purity and freshness of the 1985 movie version is something you have to hear.........

Thanks for posting this one.

This song was written by Will Thompson a late song writer and preacher of churches of Christ in Texas. Used as a a theme song about the Trip to Bountiful. It was written with music but originally for acapella churches of Christ. There is not a more beautiful song of invitation in my opinion. To talk of race is to shame the grace of Almighty God. "Come Home", he who is believing and who is immersed shall be saved" Mark 16:15-16.

Her voice makes me hold my breath and listen to it like nobody else's. Really a blessing.

This video was done at an old church and everyone dressed in the old style. As to their being no blacks there, you are wrong - there are at least two - and Lillie Knuals (bad spelling) sings earlier in the program.

Because of that movie, I started listening to her songs too. One day I saw on my church bulletin that she would be singing that afternoon on this church, I went, enjoyed the concert, bought two of her CDs, and got them autographed.

Please consider posting with higher video quality. When you started, this resolution was pretty much standard, but things have changed and higher resolution is much more pleasant to watch.

Thanks for the good audio quality!
