She, this song, and her voice are magnificent. She’s so beautiful. I love her face. She has beautiful bone structure. I love her clothes. That color blue is great on her. Her voice goes to the depths and then soars. Just a beautiful performance by a beautiful woman.
That is so very moving. The tears are running down my cheeks. Her low alto register is so rich and beautiful, and the dramatic top register is so glorious. To me, Jessyse is the voice of the 20th Century. RIP lovely lady. We will miss you so much.
We will never hear a voice like it again. Her glorious voice with that incredible range, breath control and supreme musicianship will be very difficult to equal. To me, she is the voice of the 20th Century. Jessye also had such nobility and rose above the racial slurs and comments on her height and dress size. Meeting her was an extraordinary experience. Her presence and charisma was like an electric charge. I had just heard her as Jokatsa in Aedipus Rex and I was with the Philharmonia Chorus. She was easily the greatest soloist and her voice was breathtaking. RIP lovely lady.
Years ago, I was fumming through the channels on the TV when I came across this performance. Immediately, I stopped and listened to the whole thing. I had never heard Deep River before. (I was just a teen.) Well, I don't have the words to describe all of the emotions I felt at once. I could feel the pain of my people so very much and it left me deeply 💔 but hopeful. I searched to learn about Ms. Norman and was surprised she was not African American. Yet, she sang the song as if she were there. As an adult, I've come to understand that that's what the song is ultimately about. Having hope for a better life, a better place despite the current situation we may find ourselves in. Just wanted to give my own tribute to a most wonderful lady who introduced me to the beauty of such songs. Thank you, Ms. Norman, and may you rest in blessed peace. 🙏💕
Just beautiful! The haunting sound of the words and her amazing control was just breath taking; to hear her sing this particular song always. Marian Anderson would be proud I think, because of the emphasis on the lyrics so they would sink into your being causing an emotional reaction to all listeners.
To enter the kingdom of God: Maybe it’s because we’ve never know any other way of living, having become accustomed to the ways and cares of this world. The things in the world and what we do, we know one day will cease. Solomon, king of Israel, sought to know the end of having abundant material possessions and perceived they were vanity and vexation of spirit. Money, wealth, status, possessions are promised to God’s servants within reason and according to His purpose, but they aren’t guaranteed or the reason why He has called us to be sons and daughters nor was it His purpose to give us a carefree life. Not many rich are called, not many noble men or those who are wise in this world are called, but God has called the fatherless, the widows, those who are meek, who mourn, who are persecuted for His name’s sake for the kingdom of God. Many trials and tribulations are appointed to those who live godly in Christ Jesus. Through them all, our Lord will deliver us. These trials although are grievous at the present time, are strengthening us for the day when He will make up His precious jewels. God is righteous and His eyes can’t behold iniquity. Most of the things we watch on TV are ungodly in God’s sight. Unless it is pure and free from sin, you should guard your soul so you aren’t tempted by evil. The lusts of the world and the things within will pass away but he or she that does the will of God will abide forever. In order to be found perfect and blameless before the Father and His Son Jesus, we must renounce the pleasures we’ve become comfortable doing and live holy and separate from the world, guarding our soul from all evil and the appearance of evil, including friends or family who are not serving God. Admonish them and guide them if they are willing to listen. There is always the day when they could finally understand and begin to serve Him in love and truth. Don’t give up, continue to teach them with the same kindness He showed us for Christ’s sake. If anyone has unforgivingness, ask God to heal you. Our fight isn’t against the people who have hurt us but against the principalities working in them which caused them to do things they wouldn’t do if they truly understood God and His glory, kindness, and righteousness. If anyone is struggling with any form of lust or demonic oppression, fast and pray to God, and He will deliver you and heal you. Meditate in the scriptures as often as you can. God is near to the broken-hearted. Rejoice because if we are found worthy, He shall wipe away our tears from our eyes and lead us into His kingdom. Our Father in heaven sent His Son to us so we may have eternal life. His blood ended the Leviticus sacrifices for sin which was the schoolmaster, the law of sin and death, that could never give anyone who continually sacrificed the blood of the animals eternal life. Only the blood of Jesus and keeping His commandments will give us eternal life in the kingdom. The Laws of God, His Ten Commandments, Sabbath, feast days, and dietary law will be kept in Jesus’s millennial kingdom and eternally in the Father’s kingdom, New Jerusalem. His laws are holy and pure, good and righteous, they bring life and save all who keep them from death. God does not ask much from us. He knows what we can endure, and the suffering we will go through will push us to a breaking point, to test what is in our hearts and whether we will do His will. We may sin, but God will not cast us down forever. He will hold us up again and give us strength to endure the race. The laws are not impossible to keep. Zechariah and Elizabeth, the father and mother of John the Baptist, kept the laws of God without blame (Luke 1:5-6), not because they never sinned, but because they didn’t try to willfully sin against God’s law and kept His commandments with a pure and earnest heart. We cannot receive the blood of Jesus unless we begin to keep His commandments. His word is truth; all those who love Him will keep his commandments. If we do not, then we lie and do not the truth, the truth being the word of God, His commandments. Psalm 119:142 KJV [142] Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. 1 John 1:5-7 KJV [5] This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. [6] If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: [7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 2:3-5 KJV [3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. [4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. [5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. Galatians is about the law of animal sacrifice. Christ is the sin sacrifice. His purpose on Earth was to die to redeem us from our sins. The blood of the animals temporarily kept God from killing the people but couldn’t redeem them from sin and death. (Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord). Adam’s transgression (Genesis 3) cut humanity off from receiving eternal life. Only through Christ can we have hope of receiving eternal life. Adam was without sin before he transgressed the law of God. Jesus Christ redeems you back to the state Adam was before he transgressed God. Christ frees you from all your past sins (Matthew 24:13 [13]But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved) until you die or when he returns (2 Timothy 4:1 [1] I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom). Most of the nation of Israel during the time Paul wrote Galatians were keeping the animal sacrifices because they didn’t believe Christ was the sacrificial Lamb of God. When Christ died, the veil of the temple ripped (Matthew 27:51 and Hebrews 9:7-11), symbolizing the end of the Levitical priesthood for animal sacrifices and the beginning of the order of Melchisedec under Jesus Christ. Many of the Jews believed the newly converted Gentiles had to keep the law of animal sacrifice. They didn’t understand Christ’s purpose as the sacrificial Lamb of God. Paul said the law is not of faith and Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:12-13) by being a curse himself. This can’t be the law of God (Ten Commandments, feast days, dietary laws) because the law of God is holy and perfect (Psalm 19:7). The law of animal sacrifice could not redeem you from your sins once you transgressed the laws of God. Transgressing the laws of God put you in sin (1 John 3:4 Whoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law). They did not receive the blood of Christ but were still under the blood of the animals. The Israelites believed if they sacrificed an animal to repent of their sin, God would forgive them. They didn’t love God enough to understand that true repentance begins in the heart or mind. David in Psalm 51 said he would have sacrificed to God for forgiveness, but he knew that wasn’t true repentance. Anyone with enough animals could sin as much as they wanted knowing that God would forgive them if all they must do was to kill an animal. That is why David said true sacrifice comes from a contrite, remorseful spirit, and why Paul said this law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. The law of animal sacrifice was to teach people sin had repercussions or punishments. Hebrews 10:1-4 KJV For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. [2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. [3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. [4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. The Sabbath day existed before Israel became a nation. It is the rest God promised to his people in Hebrews 4 but because of sin, they could not enter it. Jesus' millennial kingdom is on the 7000th year of man which is the 7th day for a day with God is as thousand years (2 Peter 3:8). The feast of tabernacles and the 8th day feast symbolize the 7 thousand years of man and the 8th day symbolizes when there will be no more flesh and blood humans with everyone having received their spiritual bodies whether to life eternal or damnation. Each feast is significant and all men will keep them in Jesus' kingdom on Earth in Jerusalem. Isaiah 66:22-24 KJV For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. [23] And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. [24] And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Israel is God's holy name. When we accept Him we become his children spiritually. When the children of Israel made the covenant on Mt Sinai they become God's firstborn. The Gentiles are grafted into the holy olive tree which is Christ and the covenant Israel made. When we die, God will judge us based on the things written in the books of the laws of God (Revelation 20:11-13).
She, this song, and her voice are magnificent. She’s so beautiful. I love her face. She has beautiful bone structure. I love her clothes. That color blue is great on her. Her voice goes to the depths and then soars. Just a beautiful performance by a beautiful woman.
