Go to bed 😂. No quote, no citation, no proof, no evidence no reference. Just quotation marks. You don’t have to pay for everything, I had a piss this morning and didn’t have to hand over anything for it. Explain that
The Catholic saint Josemaria Escriva (founder of Opus Dei) also had a similarly beautiful line: “When a person is convicted in the courts of mankind he is condemned. But when he is convicted in the court of God he is….set free.” That line always brings a tear to my eye. So beautiful.
Nice comment. You watch this moving scene in True Grit and you hear this beautiful song and then you equate it to pedophilia/molestation. Sounds like you have some troubling personal issues to tackle. Best of luck to you.
I believe this is the most beautiful version of "Everlasting Arms" that exists today. It was used so effectively in the newest version of "True Grit". It added a sense of warmth and familiarity to the film and gave it some real depth.

Whomever put this together, I want to thank you....My Father just passed away and I am completely heartbroken. I found this online with all the beautiful pictures and it always makes me cry. My father loved this hymn and we played it at his Funeral. He loved True Grit and I sent him the CD for his Birthday. Not knowing it was his last....THANK YOU...God Bless.
Sarah, very late, but I just read your lines here and it made me cry... I am so sorry for your loss and I am sure he was a wonderful person! May he ride the Happy Hunting Grounds in Peace to this beautiful hymn! Take care, dear Sarah
I miss both my parents, and yes, think this is a good song for a funeral. I have seen scenery like this in Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota. America truly is a beautiful country, and we should preserve nature's wonders.
I'm not one bit religious minded but I could listen to this endlessly. It's just such wonderful music especially the slow pace, the crescendo just before the magnificent singing voice of Iris Dement! Wonderful. The way all music should be! (The lyrics are a little weird but can forgive that 😉). I doubt Iris is ultra religious too - never heard of her before but I listened to some of her other tracks on RUclips and ..... 🤣😂
@@dt1351 I’m glad! There are many Christian songs and hymns, even classical pieces like Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring that make the heart soar. No other music makes me feel like this. Life is hard and full of disappointment and death, but I have consolation that there’s more to life than living for yourself and then dying. Life really would be pointless without God, at least in my opinion. There’s so much suffering, horror, and unfairness. But that’s why I believe in God, because he gives us the capacity to help others and gives us hope that the world won’t always be like this. Food for Thought👍
I was lonely and alone in Hobart, Tasmania two weeks ago, and walked down to the theater on Collins St. for some diversion. Saw True Grit, and it really affected me and made me think of home (the USA). Also our heritage and the people I came from. It also brought me back to thoughts of God and my spiritual roots.
Every time In hear this song I cry, I cant help myself, I just turn to water every time.If others are present I turn my head and the tears flow. I try to leave the company of others and I weep until the weeping stops. I cry I think because I understand the meaning of the words and why it was written. I believe it is because Christ loves me despite what I am, and unlike some in the world today the Lord who made me has given me some knowledge of his undying love for me, and that he was and is and shall always be my Everlasting Arms. Yep, hands down I admit it, I'm a wuss. I'm Done!
You cannot possibly understand what I wrote, it’s on a completely different level to what you may or may not have experienced in your life. It is not just about the song per say, prior to hearing that song my inner being was touched by the Holy Spirit, and each time I hear Leaning On The Everlasting Arms It’s as if that touch ignites all over again, and I feel the presence of the Holy spirit in and upon me and I weep. That my friend is what does it for me. I simply turn to water every time Jesus touches me, and inexplicably some things act as a primer or trigger. Wish I could go to heaven "already"
Everytime I hear this song , I'll always remember Jeff Bridges riding against the black starlit sky trying to save the life of Hailee Steinfeld on horseback as this song played!
Oh how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way...leaning on the everlasting arms. "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed (happy) is the man that trusteth in him." Psalms 34:8
I first thought it was Dolly Parton in 2010 when I heard it played in the newest version of “True Grit” !!! … truthfully , it brought tears to my eyes !!!
Music is the the one thing that always brings me to it ! Faith in God is almost as valuable as God himself when you think about it. Doesn’t matter if he’s real or not as long as you have faith you’ll never be afraid.
I have no religious affiliation except that of mutual respect and humanity ,but this piece and another song sung by Iris Dement "He reached down" confirms to me the error made when segregating ones self to secular belief , it is instinctive for me to help whenever I can and to be relied upon ,but if I were to be pulled into one set of beliefs ,music and words of this type have a convincing effect , really ,very nice indeed but we must be those arms to rest on and reach down to those in need ,"We may hope and we may pray but the physical act will save the day " PT 2022. , good conscience cannot come from words alone ,but the benevolent act must be recognised with benevolent words of good conscience ....and all this musically inspired . .
"The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the Everlasting Arms, and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them." Deuteronomy 33:27
I'm a muslim, culturally at least, but this is such an incredible song both its music and lyrics as well. Very relaxing and boosting the love of God. A masterpiece !
Thanks so much for sharing that. Imagine being a small child growing up in the rural southern United States and going to a hundred year old farm style church in the middle of the woods, after traveling down a canopy road of red Georgia clay... hearing this lovely old hymn played on the old church piano and your dad preach about Jesus’ love from the pulpit. That was my childhood... I feel very blessed!
why even mention that you are a muslim.. Do you feel guilty for liking this? Do you feel like you have to justify yourself? Always find it silly when people saying , I am xxx but I like yyy... nobody cares. We simply like this music.
@@Ealdorman_of_Mercia He just wanted it to be known that music transcends everything and beauty is universal. I myself am the first baptist in my family in about 6 generations and I listen to Islamic Nasheeds every now and then because they're good music.
You know why people hate your country? Becouse of politicians. I dont like politicians, not yours not ours, but i love my country and i love America more and more. I hope i'll have opportunity to visit it one day for a litle longer and to get it know better. Stay good as you are, greetings. And beautiful song.

I have fallen asleep with my phone open for automatic play in youtube. Some how while dreaming, i heard this song. When i wake up it stuck to my head not knowing what it is. Now i have watched true grit and got my answer.
I will forever be grateful to Sainsbury for adding this to their 2014 Christmas advertisement with the 1914 Christmas Truce. This has to be one of the most calming songs ever. It makes you feel very secure.
Rest in perfect peace Mama. Christine Edwards 12/31/56 - 6/8/21 Words can’t express my pain. But I’m happy for you. You don’t have to endure this world anymore. I miss u so much beautiful. Until we meet again…
This song says to me we have a loving God an his son Jesus Christ loves us and for gives us for all are Sins..What a peaceful place we have to go for Eternity...Not ashamed to admit..Water comes out of my eyes for I understand the song and the meaning behind...
I have struggled with agnosticism and lack of faith, but this song gives me hope in that there is comfort in HIS everlasting arms of security and unconditional love....WOW what a special message:)
+Reed Kimbrough Hi Reed, It is possible to believe in God, and know his son Jesus, and his creation of the World. All you need to do is believe and have faith. Reed if you only ever believe in one person, believe in Jesus, he is real I promise you. I wish you all the best,
Reed ; I was an racist, atheist until I was thirty years old . I had no fear of Hell , and no hope of God or Heaven . I just knew that a six foot hole awaited me and I wondered why and what good was life at all just to have it end in nothing . But God , who's name is YAHOWAH [ YHWH ], The Father of My Lord Jesus , His Son , called me by His mercy and grace and revealed His Son to me ; hanging on a cross , beaten more than any man , tortured and spit on, mocked and rejected by almost all. And that Jesus was indeed alive and well and had a whole new life for me If I would pursue Him . I did and He did. I have been happy, blessed , and at peace for thirty four years now . Not church , not religion , but a whole new life in the Spirit of the living God Himself . Jesus says that if you continue in His Word , that makes you HIS disciple , and you shall know the truth , and that truth shall make you free . Read Mathew , Mark, Luke , and John . See Jesus for the first time . The real Jesus , not some long haired wimpy preacher as most people imagine . He was a big , powerful, fearless man . Looked up to by some pretty rough Characters who's lives He changed like mine .
There is much, much more to it than that. And it is truly sad that you choose to voice your opinion in the form of an attack against someone who has struggled with many personal problems -- bully much?
Consider the anger in your words. Where does it come from? Quite certainly it stems from someone or something that hurt your soul. Again, I pray you find peace and may God bless and keep you.
This tune is a hymn which was used by the Coen Brothers to display the christian attitude of Mattie. Perfect for this beautiful film. Great orchestration as usual by Carter Burwell. His best since Millers Crossing
Yes, I read the book ad a young man and the story really emphasis Matties strong Christian faith. She was determined with divine intervention to find her father's killer. The music is a big part of conveying that.
Growing up in a Baptist church, I've heard this song from my childhood. Very emotional, I understand the comfort of knowing, through faith, that I do have a refuge in God. Someone mentioned the Sainsbury's commercial from England - I suggest you take a look. Very cool! May the Peace of Christ fill you this season... Merry Christmas everyone.
I didn't know until lately that Iris grew up just down the highway from me, but I don't get out much, lol. She makes this song, and I've heard it a thousand times in church when I was young. Never heard it delivered with such intensity.
You should change your beliefs because to be an atheist is to believe in nothing and to believe in nothing makes living life meaningless. Everything you care about is meaningless. Everyone you love is meaningless. Everything you do is meaningless. The world did not appear out of nothing because nothing is something. You cannot tell me that there is not a higher power than ourselves that created this world, this existence. Atheism is a true lack of knowledge and intelligence. I was agnostic for 35 years and not believing in the Bible or God or any of it but I did believe that a higher power existed. I asked Jesus Christ a few months ago to come into my heart and save me and help me through life. I was very sincere from the bottom of my heart and I can tell you that every day since then has been great. No more anxiety, fear, hate, aggravation, depression, worry, being lost, feeling without purpose. Seek Jesus Christ and ask him to heal your heart and save you from an eternity without peace and he will no questions asked. No sin is unforgivable except rejecting our Lord. When you die and stand before the one you have rejected it will be too late and nothing you can say or do at that moment will make him forgive you. Time was running out the day you were born. Repent now before its too late.
Dave Staallekker Jesus said not everyone will believe. I'm sure when they are standing before him they will believe then but it will be to late at that point.
John Rider I appreciate your comments. I sometimes envy Christians who believe 100% without doubt. For me, I don't believe in God for the same reason I don't believe in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. I simply don't believe - and I couldn't if I wanted to. It's not a choice.
"The wicked flee when none pursueth". This is a beautiful piece and always will be. Thank you all for being here with me. I have made it an effort to learn this piece on piano, but is more difficult than it sounds...but I want to play it.
Come on down to Texas. See Dallas and Ft. Worth. San Antonio and Houston. And, don't miss Corpus Christie and everything else. Ya'll are welcome here always. Just remember though we respect our women. Call'em "Ma'am" and "Little Lady" and hold the door for'em. Texas is completely different than anywhere else in the good ole' US of A. Come see us soon.

I love this movie, im crying every time, little Blackie dies. It is so sad :'( I really love Mattie, she is so strong and have a lot of courage. It is a really big movie, and even this song, can make me cry.
Reza Mahlouji How exactly ? Did god make Mary give birth too himself haha? And do you therefore agree of everything that is in the old testament or the new or have you perhaps like most religious people not even read the bible by yourself?
ThornyRoseV Let the man be, put your criticism elsewhere please, honestly how can you attack someone's views while listening to this beautiful music? It doesn't matter though, just stop.
Such a lovely song and done in a way that sticks to me. This is one of those songs that came along during a certain time in my life, not long go, and it came into my memory, and has never left. And sitting here listening to this song and it's coming over me again.
Thy power, throughout the Universe displayed, Lord your wonderous works are joy sublime to behold. Man's time shall seam as a blink and this world will be as it was once more.
I am so glad that "Leaning On the Everlasting Arms" was used in this remake of "True Grit". It is one of my favourite pieces of Gospel Music, just as beautiful and meaningful today as when it was written in the 1880's. "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" still has a message for us today. Such a blessing to hear it performed and sung this way!
True grit has to be my favorite movie of all time, love the old west films old and new. This song Iris did included in the end of the new film makes it warm and reflective of the friendship and kinship the young girl had in the two adult men who were veterans of the same war on opposing sides. As well as keeping her alive through it all. This song ads familiarity and relief that a new movie like this one would include a beautiful spiritual Christian song. Love every aspect of it.

What an oddly beautiful voice the singer has--haunting yet comforting, no?
Indeed, Iris DeMent has an incredible voice. Melancholic but reassuring, as you say.

Growing up in a Baptist church, I've heard this song from my childhood. Very emotional, I understand the comfort of knowing, through faith, that I do have a refuge in God. Someone mentioned the Sainsbury's commercial from England - I suggest you take a look. Very cool! May the Peace of Christ fill you this season...
Merry Christmas everyone.
If someone doesn't understand this on what you mean..Pull up the Commercial says it all....All I will say...
@@haroldwilliams1535 Harold can you send me a link for this commercial you are referring to? Thank you.
This is truly a great hymn.
"They tell me your a man with true grit."

Thank you for this, the images and Iris DeMent voice ! My Mom passed 2 years ago this brings me peace and remembrance. Thank you
Sainsbury's brought me here.
Likewise! Such a lovely hymn.
I need to find the piano sheet music for this.
Marshall Cogburn brought me here
Me too!!! Lol
+Tobi Areje me as well - best version of the song.
This song literally makes me tear up every time I hear it or sing it in church... Truly beautiful :')
It's not often movies and music sync. The last scene in True Grit with this playing left me in tears.
I didn't know until lately that Iris grew up just down the highway from me, but I don't get out much, lol. She makes this song, and I've heard it a thousand times in church when I was young. Never heard it delivered with such intensity.
I'm an unapologetic atheist but love this song. What a talent.
You should change your beliefs because to be an atheist is to believe in nothing and to believe in nothing makes living life meaningless. Everything you care about is meaningless. Everyone you love is meaningless. Everything you do is meaningless. The world did not appear out of nothing because nothing is something. You cannot tell me that there is not a higher power than ourselves that created this world, this existence. Atheism is a true lack of knowledge and intelligence. I was agnostic for 35 years and not believing in the Bible or God or any of it but I did believe that a higher power existed. I asked Jesus Christ a few months ago to come into my heart and save me and help me through life. I was very sincere from the bottom of my heart and I can tell you that every day since then has been great. No more anxiety, fear, hate, aggravation, depression, worry, being lost, feeling without purpose. Seek Jesus Christ and ask him to heal your heart and save you from an eternity without peace and he will no questions asked. No sin is unforgivable except rejecting our Lord. When you die and stand before the one you have rejected it will be too late and nothing you can say or do at that moment will make him forgive you. Time was running out the day you were born. Repent now before its too late.
John Rider cool story bro, still atheist though
Dave Staallekker Jesus said not everyone will believe. I'm sure when they are standing before him they will believe then but it will be to late at that point.
Let the flames of hell burn my atheist ass.
John Rider I appreciate your comments. I sometimes envy Christians who believe 100% without doubt. For me, I don't believe in God for the same reason I don't believe in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. I simply don't believe - and I couldn't if I wanted to. It's not a choice.
"The wicked flee when none pursueth". This is a beautiful piece and always will be. Thank you all for being here with me. I have made it an effort to learn this piece on piano, but is more difficult than it sounds...but I want to play it.
Keep trying, one finger even... add those small trills later on
I feel like im sitting in my pew in the baptist church. Brings tears to my eyes. Nothing sounds like oldschool church humns
Iris Dement is a national treasure...Discover all her music!!!
One of my favorites! The scenery is amazing, and of course Iris DeMent’s version of this hymn is inspiring to my soul.❤️
Sheer beauty. Lyrics & melody combine to move the soul & spirit in a touching way.
My mom favorite song. She died a year ago today. I love and miss ya so much.
Iris Dement - a national treasure.
@Bob Jones, I agree. Good on ya mate.
Come on down to Texas. See Dallas and Ft. Worth. San Antonio and Houston. And, don't miss Corpus Christie and everything else. Ya'll are welcome here always. Just remember though we respect our women. Call'em "Ma'am" and "Little Lady" and hold the door for'em. Texas is completely different than anywhere else in the good ole' US of A. Come see us soon.
God bless you Jeff Cook thanks for the awesome music you will be missed
Thank you.
Im a renagade son of the four corners blown to the four winds. ...
Love to you all.

At least you can have a home in Heaven leaning on the everlasting arms.
I totally agree. She is truly amazing.
The Guinness commercial brought me here! Recognized it right away.
I love this movie, im crying every time, little Blackie dies. It is so sad :'(
I really love Mattie, she is so strong and have a lot of courage. It is a really big movie, and even this song, can make me cry.
I take great comfort in this song. This is the best version ever recorded.
Oh Utah...im glad your beauty will never be destroyed
the peace He gives, even in the storm.
blessed be the name of the LORD.
Amen
Amen
Don't worry, your country still the best to me and my family.
Who's listening to this during 2020 quarantine???
fuck you.
Great music in a great movie. Well done Cohen Brothers.
wonderful movie with heart-touching melody of the old hymn! Best of all in recent years...
bless be the name of beautiful Jesus.
It is not about Jesus, it is about God.
well Jesus is God !!!
Reza Mahlouji How exactly ? Did god make Mary give birth too himself haha? And do you therefore agree of everything that is in the old testament or the new or have you perhaps like most religious people not even read the bible by yourself?
ThornyRoseV Let the man be, put your criticism elsewhere please, honestly how can you attack someone's views while listening to this beautiful music? It doesn't matter though, just stop.
God bless us all !!
Such a lovely song and done in a way that sticks to me. This is one of those songs that came along during a certain time in my life, not long go, and it came into my memory, and has never left. And sitting here listening to this song and it's coming over me again.
How I miss The West so.....I'm lucky to have seen so much of this beautiful country. Beautiful song.
RIP to my best friend and the guy ive known since i was a preschooler. I love you vlad we'll talk again someday
Absolutely excellent film and score. Iris's song at the end is truly such a special and beautiful touch to the whole film.
I may not be religious, but I do love some good ol' Gospel music. The melodies are often beautiful.
Thy power, throughout the Universe displayed,
Lord your wonderous works are joy sublime to behold.
Man's time shall seam as a blink and this world will be as it was once more.
amen
Greatest cowboy movie ever
Only the wicked flee, when none pursue.
But the righteous are as bold as a lion
I am so glad that "Leaning On the Everlasting Arms" was used in this remake of "True Grit". It is one of my favourite pieces of Gospel Music, just as beautiful and meaningful today as when it was written in the 1880's. "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" still has a message for us today. Such a blessing to hear it performed and sung this way!
What a wonderful voice and song. An inspiration!
Yes sweetheart for sure !!!!! Adorable.
True Grit brought us here
when none persueth, the wicked flee.
wrathgar11 I'll take yer $$$
True grit has to be my favorite movie of all time, love the old west films old and new. This song Iris did included in the end of the new film makes it warm and reflective of the friendship and kinship the young girl had in the two adult men who were veterans of the same war on opposing sides. As well as keeping her alive through it all. This song ads familiarity and relief that a new movie like this one would include a beautiful spiritual Christian song. Love every aspect of it.
They were both veterans veterans of the Confederacy.
@@dukecraig2402 now that makes sense, because MO and TX.
I so love this song. Thanks for posting.
2019??? Beautiful song :*
even though i'm only 19 i want this song to be at my funeral.
Not for many years I hope. Mine too, my list will take about 147 hours.
Just beautiful!
The song is inspiring and gives me hope even when all the odds are against me !
That is the point.... the odds are not against you... satan is
God with us
My sweet pop's favorite gospel hymn. He's 71 now. Where have the years gone?
