I'm a 73-year-old American who by the grace of God and the blood of Jesus has redeemed my soul. Thank you for your beautiful rendition of an ageless gospel song.

Every time I hear this, as the harmonies build, I still get chills and misty-eyed

Throws me back to a different time - one that was sincere, simple and serene.

Makes me want to go down to the river to pray. Thank you.

All of us in the western world have not stopped praying and believing in God sending Jesus here to save us from our sins. Don’t stop praying, one small match can illuminate a room…

So incredibly beautiful!!! It reminds me when I was fortunate to go to Israel in 2018 and was re-baptized in the Jordan River!!!! Praise my wonderful, merciful and gracious Lord Jesus!

Every now and then I come back to hear this beautiful piece; this is probably its most intense rendition on youtube.

Reminds me of my Grandmother & her Pimative Baptists sisters.
Then the men joined in like a family camp meeting😊
