When I was speaking at the Cove on Heaven, they wheeled in George Beverly Shea. He came to the platform, sang a few songs including How Great Thou Art, and stayed to hear the message on Heaven
True story: In early May, 1967, I was sitting in 10th grade English class. The teacher asked if we knew what had happened the day before. 3 or 4 of my classmates said in enthusiastic unison. “Elvis Presley got married.” I said, “Who is Elvis Presley?” and the class laughed scornfully at me. I retorted, “OK, who is George Beverly Shea?” Nobody knew. I informed them that he could sing Elvis under the table, and I was right!!
I'm sitting here...listening - with tears streaming down my face. Thank you so much for sharing this awe inspiring clip of the George Beverly Shea. God does love him.....and so do we.
What an incredible man. Such a blessing to see this. He makes me think of Enoch. I think he's just going to walk with God straight into heaven one day.
I had the awesome privelge of singing back up for Mr. Shea in 1992 as a member of the Continental Orchestra and Singers. It was in Estes Park at the Christian Artist Seminars and he was receiving a Lifetime Acheivement Award and he sang "I'd Rather Have Jesus." My single most singing career highlight!!!

He has the best voice. One of my faves. I am surprised he is still alive.

And, this wonderful man still has his characteristic gentle sense of humor! How I would love to meet him! If not here, then in Heaven, for sure!

I've always loved to hear Bev Shea, & been touched by his singing. But to hear him still singing at almost 103 was very powerful & moving.
