my dad died of bone cancer aged 51. He was the last of the 3 years national service, did his time in the RAF, was flying stores into Christmas Island when they were testing atomic bombs. many more like him died of exposure to radiation. the UK government has still not acknowledged their part in the service men's early deaths. as this song says we never saw eye to eye. I only really began to understand him when I new he was in his last months. my only regret is he never met my son and daughter and they never met their granddad.
Dad told me years ago....55 is the way to drive, 65 is as fast as I go, now when the limit is 70, people just aim their car and some go faster, Glad mom is still there to sing with the family on this song.....he would be there making it even more happy........
I did not do all that I should have durng my mother's Living Years. I love her, miss her greatly and I will honor her memory. She did the best she could, with what she had to work with.
Dear Isaac's, I've follwed you since 1996. I love your ministry, your testimonies, your vulnerability, your missions, your transparent faith, and strength. This time in my life happens to be the worst ever. I have looked up your songs for so many reasons over the years: for joy, inspiration [wanting to 'feel' God's presence], for a sense of connectedness, a sense of church family, and for now healing. I cannot tell you how many memories I have of your sweet family, even though we've never met, your music feels like a faithful friend; still there awaiting a call and happily willing to listen. Thank you🤍
I had many differences with my Dad, it wasn't until my 30s that i resolved them,sadly at 49 i lost him.i wish he was still here, i have so much more i want to say. This song made me resolve those issues and difficult times we had when i was a child wat back when this was released. Do it today, go see him, son or daughter go to him and sort it, then enjoy your time you both have left together. RIP DAD (John) Thanks BA Robertson (check the writers version) it was his experience in the lyrics he wrote. just copy and paste this (ba robertson living years above ) and also you will hear the name of the young babys real name from the song, and there is a surprize at the end of video(i wont tell you,it will spoil it), you think this version makes you cry watch this one the way it was meant to be.
Bill Gaither, among all your great artists, this must be the most harmonious, hardworking and professional group. Admire the Isaacs, they are like nothing else. Greetings from somewhere in Europe :-)
Heard the band tonight in The Villages FL. My wife, Lisa Haley and I seldom had the opportunity to catch other bands live unless we were also performing the same festivals. But since the Covid shutdowns put us off the road and out of work. So when our good friend John Paris Frantz invited us to the show tonight we couldn't resist. It was phenomenal! Tight backup band, great songs and an entertaining presentation plus heavenly vocals... Who could ask for more? And a Beatles cover no less! Terrific! I am now a fan. Good luck with Reba! You'll be killin' it!😀
Many people overlook the fact that not only are the Isaacs great singers but they are very talented musicians and quite incredible songwriters! Just listen to their class as not many other Gospel groups can say the same..
I totally agree. Though this exact one is not their own song (It is a song by Mike and the mechanics) But their spin on it, is mesmerizing The instrumentation and harmonies are breathtaking. and it really captures the meaning of the lyrics.
Mike (Rutherford) and the Mechanics. When you strip away all the fancy electronics and hoop-la and can hear the words you can see where God can come into the song and make it real.
My heart just melts and I weep listening to you. You have saved me so many times. I have RA and many health issue and you make me ready. I do not even look sick. Look like my picture here and am very ill. Thank you for all you do. I love you. You girls and the young man and our darling mom I love
I thank you Isaacs for honoring your mother. I have noticed that she is in your videos but is not part of the singing most of the time. This song has blessed me and I am sure it has blessed others. This is the first time I have seen Bill Gaither cry. May the good Lord Bless Y'all!
Your right I have never seen Bill cry. I think he was shedding those tears when Ben started singing about his father dying, and it choked Bill up a bit.
Ladies. Ben you did it again.. Love The Isaacs. I'm sure Mike n Mechanics loved it too. Awesome song. I always loved this song..2020 MY Dad is still here .Going on 89 yrs old. I love you. Dad. He always played Grass. He knew many! Bill Monroe When I was little My father was one to Introduce him on Stage. He knew alot of Grass. Loves to sing!
I suffered the same fate with my dad. I haven't been able to move on and heal the one I feel I should have by now, so I find I need songs like this to remind me to keep trying my best. And that the path to acceptance of his passing without any closure does not have to take me any farther away from his memory and the legacy of our love for one another.
2 years ago my father past away from motor neurons disease (MND) 2 years before that I had a big fight with him and stopped talking for the next 2 years and things just got worse for him. I was interstate and when I heard that he was not far away from passing, I tried so hard to get there to make things right, but wasn't able to get there in time, and I missed telling him that I loved him and was sorry for talking to him , it hit me hard so hard pride is a horrible thing . I found out later that he spoke to someone and said that he loved me ,and was proud of me , but I still missed out on making it right. This song means so much to me because of that so thank you. .
Kurt Gourlay I waited one day too late to say goodbye to my Dad and my Mom and I were estranged when she was dying. My daughter won't talk to me for 2 years now. Heaven looks better every day.
Phenomenal version of this beautiful, haunting , and moving song. I wonder if Bill Gaither ever heard the original version. He was truly moved by what we saw here.
Love this song and love the Isaacs - I was not familiar with then at all before today. I'm Gonna Love You Through It is an incredibly beautiful and moving song.....someone posted it on FB
I just love Ben. He is so adorable. Love his sweet smile. Love his voice. Love his glasses and his hat. And I love to listen to the girls as well, but is just special in my eyes.
what a truly amazing rendition of this song. your voices and musician ship are perfection. Obviously touched by the hand of God! Incredible performance!!!!!
I hope that the Isaacs see this post. I love you guys so much. have since the early 90's. keep on blessing the world with your amazing vocals and testimony. Dovie A.
I am blessed by these songs and can't stop listening to the songs of The Isaacs. You really are blessings to many. May God bless you abundantly and make you blessings to many more.
The story is long about my dad. But I'm going to tell the end of my story. I relate to this song. My dad was on his death bed requesting to see me. His wife told him she called me and I refused to come to Missouri . I would have gone!!!! Nothing could have stopped me. I went to put him to rest . I know his spirit was present as I placed a rose on his coffin. I love this song and the Isaac's family
Love the song, love the arrangement, love the performance. The Isaacs are family who can sing and play anything and make it totally their own. This song is as relevant now as it was when it was first a hit. But I think what I like most about this video is how impeccably but casually it's performed. I mean, Sonja's mandolin playing is fantastic, yet she's sitting there with her legs crossed like it's the easiest thing in the world to play and sing like that! And there's so much energy to it and Becky's guitar playing that it sounds as full as if they had an entire band backing them. And then yes, Ben's smile is infectious and the lyrics seem to be particularly poignant to him. It's all just really beautiful and perfect.
A beautiful and touching presentation by such a talented family. It came from the heart. My wife and I lost our dear son aged 50, from a massive heart attack in 2021. This song, "In the Living Years", has been a favourite of mine for many years. One blessing we have is to know we were the best of mates right up to the moment of his death, even as I was trying desperately to save him by doing CPR but couldn't. God has given us grace through the tough times and the loving memories we have. We can never take for granted the importance of the living years God gives us. God bless you The Isaacs for this lovely song. Lyn and Narelle Lockrey, Australia.

He was the last of the 3 years national service, did his time in the RAF, was flying stores into Christmas Island when they were testing atomic bombs. many more like him died of exposure to radiation. the UK government has still not acknowledged their part in the service men's early deaths. as this song says we never saw eye to eye.

This song transcends the years. Here its 2021 and still relevant. When Ben smiles its infectious. Great job all.
We shall see I sure hope it does
2024. Still love it.
This will never grow old nor goes un heard lest the moon n stars turns dark, u guys were the joy of the world god bless. August 2024❤❤❤❤
Sonya's just tearing up that mandolin, Y'all are awesome!
I did not do all that I should have durng my mother's Living Years. I love her, miss her greatly and I will honor her memory. She did the best she could, with what she had to work with.

this song came out by Mike and the Mechanic s after my dad passed I glad this song hasnt been forgotten
This song will never be forgotten. I love this song and I know I will never forget it.
The blend, the tones and that blonde dynamo in the middle... Wow. Tears. Gratitude. Stellar. I , Dad, and I love you.
I had many differences with my Dad, it wasn't until my 30s that i resolved them,sadly at 49 i lost him.i wish he was still here, i have so much more i want to say.
This song made me resolve those issues and difficult times we had when i was a child wat back when this was released.
Do it today, go see him, son or daughter go to him and sort it, then enjoy your time you both have left together.

I love this very much it's blesses me so much thank all so much God bless you all
Since I was 12, my dad hasn’t been in the picture. This song brings back some kind of feelings I can’t put into words.
God bless you for sure. . 👍
Many people overlook the fact that not only are the Isaacs great singers but they are very talented musicians and quite incredible songwriters! Just listen to their class as not many other Gospel groups can say the same..

Just a very special song, in remembrance of my parents, thank you Jesus for blessing me with them!!!
man, this tune is too good to be true ...
No one matter which of the three sing it is brilliant your mother must be very proud of you all Lilly God bless you you darling love 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The emotion on Bill's face caught me off guard. He must have really been relating to the words.
Awesome Harmony!!! I grew up on Gospel music. Love the Isaacs ! God Bless You All !!
THE WORLD NEEDS THIS 100 FOLD

May the good Lord Bless Y'all!
Your right I have never seen Bill cry. I think he was shedding those tears when Ben started singing about his father dying, and it choked Bill up a bit.
Partly true he also cryed when he was with Joey Feek one time.
2024.
Makes me weep.
Memories
wow... 🥲
First Class, Elegant and Sincere Christians, Amen!
So much talent straight from heaven. Thankyou
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,Courage to change the things I can,And wisdom to know the difference.
Ladies. Ben you did it again.. Love The Isaacs. I'm sure Mike n Mechanics loved it too. Awesome song. I always loved this song..2020 MY Dad is still here .Going on 89 yrs old. I love you. Dad. He always played Grass. He knew many! Bill Monroe
When I was little
My father was one to Introduce him on Stage. He knew alot of Grass.
Loves to sing!
absolutely beautiful arrangement. love the key change. My Dad died in 1988, the year this was released !
Beautiful I'm surprised there aren't more covers of this song.
A beautiful song, one of my favorites. I lost my father and never got to say goodbye. This is such a wonderful remake of this song.
I suffered the same fate with my dad. I haven't been able to move on and heal the one I feel I should have by now, so I find I need songs like this to remind me to keep trying my best. And that the path to acceptance of his passing without any closure does not have to take me any farther away from his memory and the legacy of our love for one another.
my eyes turn blurry... reminds me of my Belate Father ...I love you Dad..
Have you listened to the original?
An absolutely beautiful rendition!❤️👍

Love this song and love the Isaacs - I was not familiar with then at all before today. I'm Gonna Love You Through It is an incredibly beautiful and moving song.....someone posted it on FB
01clb that was written for their mom when she was battling cancer. Sonya, her husband and some other Nashville songwriter worked on it with Sonya.
What a fabulous interpretation !! Super vocals with incredibly tight harmonies and crisp precise instrumentals. Fantastic!
Love the Isaacs , I had the pleasure of getting to meet them .... :)

Great work.
