Me and my 7 year old are loving this 😊

Man ole Norman sure could sing some tenor.

Such a true saying. He did love us and that is the reason we should live for him and serve him with a willing heart.

Best song ever sung on TV

Beautiful Music!! Praise God!!

I've watched this video several times. Finally decided to comment. My dad and aunts used to sing this as a special in church. One of my earliest memories is them practicing this acapella in the living room of my grandparents' house. By far one of my favorite songs of all time. It really means a lot to me. Thank you for putting this song up. I couldn't find it for years and every so often I come back to this video and let the tears roll.

Great song

Thank you Nathan Lane for posting this James Merritt message.

Such a great song.

What a group, sure miss them

Memories of dad and grandpa singing in Church are flooding back. I'll sing with them again one day.

I grew up listening to this station. I wish I could find the Dairy Queen commercial that WELC aired. I recently snagged a copy of the Goodson's Supermarkets commercial. I wish I had an older version with prices of things on sale.

Amazing how many people have done just that-Went to an old-fashioned Camp meeting, or a Church, with the Devil...but Hallelujah! They left there with the LORD, saved, and made ready for Heaven!!!✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️!!!!!!

Great song and Quartet, forever !

I love this old song and delivery he brought to it - powerful words and inspiring - especially in these strange days

By the way, do you have a high-quality recording of Just A Little Closer Home?

One of the best gospel singing groups ever! Hats off to them. Truly a blessing to hear them.

Do you know if there’s another recording of this song from a choir or so?

Thank you for this encouraging song

What a beautiful song as a tribute to this young lady

This is surely amazing. Jesus is the Living Stone on which the foundation of faith is. God bless your creativity. Can you kindly post some piano and guitar chords of this song?

According to Wikipedia: History Song: There are several attributions for the authorship of this song. The oldest known print edition is in the 1911 hymnal Select Hymns for Christian Worship and General Gospel Service; its only attribution is "Arr. B. E. W.", referring to the hymnal editor Barney Elliott Warren. In 1937 the Stamps-Baxter Music Company included the song in their Starlit Crown collection and several subsequent collections. The Stamps-Baxter version was set to a new musical arrangement by Gospel composer and publisher J. R. Baxter, and was initially credited "As sung by the Burnette Sisters". W. B. Stephens, a Church of God preacher, heard the song on the radio and contacted Stamps-Baxter claiming to be the author of the song. After further correspondence, Stamps-Baxter credited Stephens as the song's author in subsequent publications. Most versions of the song published today use the Stamps-Baxter arrangement and also credit Stephens as the song's author. In 2008, a user named James Greer posted an alternative history of the song on Wikisource. He claimed that his grandfather, an itinerant preacher named W. A. Fletcher, wrote the song while travelling in the Indian Territories near the end of 1911. According to Greer, Fletcher wrote the song as a reflection of his sadness that he would not be present for the birth of his first-born child, as he felt his priorities were with his mission to the Indian Territories. J. R. Baxter was sitting next to Fletcher on the train, and was quite taken with the lyrics; he offered Fletcher $2.00 for them and then had them put to music. This version of the song's origin was copied to Wikipedia without further citation, and from there became commonly accepted across the Internet. Other people who have been credited with authorship of the song include W. E. Lindsey (Eureka Sacred Carols, 1921) and W. P. Jay (Sing Out!, 1960s).

I took a few pictures of that church a while back.

I saw this video just after the baptism of patty of insatiable 🙄

I've heard it when I was a child . It's cherishing to hear after 30 years. Thanks for the upload.

THANKS A MILLION for posting this here!! I've been searching for this version for ages... May God bless you in amazing ways!

I have this song on a 2-record set (I'm a vinyl record collector, mostly gospel), and I came to RUclips to search for a version of high sound quality (at least, high quality compared to my record, which I record my records to my computer and apply noise reduction), and here I found one :)

My sweet Seth, Mom loves this.

Thank you for this. I worked at HCJB in the mid 80s and knew Paul Bell well!

I am standing alone for truth and i have Adrians quote in the covers of my Bible! All the "churches" have gone down the road to Rome, Ecumenisum, is rife here in my home town and i cannot be part of it. I have had all sorts of things said about me but i prefer to stand alone and not be part of the apostate churches.

I enjoyed this. I am happy I got my channel opened. I like your happy birthday song too

great song, thanks for the lyrics!

I miss HCJB so much. I was an avid listener from the late 60's to the last program I heard, Morning in the Mountains in the early 2000's.

Thank you Nathan for posting. I enjoyed it so much.

Too precious for this world. God saw her and chose her to walk beside him. Resting in peace in the light of the Lord.

I used to listen to this show. They read one of my letters on the air!

The only thing to do. God is so good!!

I am so glad that you posted this song. I love the way it's done.

This song was made for Ronnie

That was the first DX station I caught back in 1998 (14 y.o.) using an old Soviet receiver of my grandfather. It took three months for me to get their QSL card from Ecuador. Thanks for this video!

Wonderful , GOD bless you brother Nathan

Amen hallelujah is the Lord praise the Lord for ever and ever

Amen

Sounds really good ,love the song.

Praise the Lord. I love it

I enjoyed your song. Catchy tune and truth in the lyrics. Thanks. I write a daily blog for my daughters and I'm adding this song to it today. He is a mighty God. We don't need the world. He is able to carry us through. Today's verse: Psalm 89:13

Amen, Praise the LORD forever +Ever God bless you brother for that uplifting Song.

Amen

I listen to the beautiful song, I watched Callies funeral as well. I didn't know her, but I can tell she was a blessed and loving Christian Lady. She is truly walking with Christ now. She touched my heart, and as I said I never knew her. I pray for the family through this time. But I feel they raised a Follower of Christ in this Lady, then this family knows Christ is there with and there for them. May God BLESS You all my Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

Beautiful person, a child of God, gone to soon, but I'm sure she is sitting at the right hand of God. She is now a precious Angel. God be the parents and all family members, friends, and host of people suffering from such a great loss.
