My brother would post this on his Facebook feed every so often. He passed away in July. For those of you that believe what we have here is all there is I will not belittle or ridicule you. I am glad I have hope and belief to see him again. When he posted this he would just say "It's time". It was my time to listen to this again today. Peace!
Debbie Ghostley, If she dead she sure won't be able to, when you dead you got no senses, you got no thing. They just tell ya that fairy tale stuff to help ya go ta sleep at night, santa for growd ups.
The crowd interaction is one of the great thing about live music. I didn't feel that anyone did anything to take away from the moment. I love The Avett Brothers doing these old gospel songs! Sing on Brothers!
My Dad sang and played guitar all my life. This was one of the songs he would sing. This takes me back home just for a bit. As an adult, it has had so much more meaning. 'Just a closer walk"....
Love this old gospel song and the Avett Brothers. This song was also sung by Harry Dean Stanton in a scene from the movie Cool Hand Luke. A truly powerful cinema scene.
I am weak but Thou art strong Jesus keep me from all wrong I'll be satisfied as long As I walk, let me walk close to Thee Just a closer walk with Thee Grant it, Jesus, is my plea Daily walking close to Thee Let it be, dear Lord, let it be When my feeble life is o'er Time for me will be no more Guide me gently, safely o'er To Thy kingdom's shore, to Thy shore Just a closer walk with Thee Grant it, Jesus, is my plea Daily walking close to Thee Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
Did you respect your grandparents? Do you think they had inferior abilities to you to grapple with reality? There are a lot of Christians out there that make it difficult to believe. But when you get past them and close to those whose lives who have been truly been immersed in the love of God, even through their difficult times, it will hopefully make you question yourself rather than them because they are full of the things everyone wants to be full of: kindness, peacefulness, self control, self-sacrificing love for others, lack of complaining, optimism, self-forgetfulness, etc. The reason most of us don't experience Him now, in 2017, is because we do not take the time or dedication to do so. We immerse ourselves in fun and technology in all our free time. And then we complain that our ancestors have lied to us, and that there is no One there. But why should we give up on what our ancestors claimed to have experienced?
@Michael Aplin True, friend. One author noted, when God creates, He begins with the word. He speaks of things before they exist. First the word, then the reality. [The Oracle, page 109] So here's the word proclaimed through Paul, "The God who made the world AND everything in it is the Lord [Possessor] of heaven AND earth AND does NOT live in temples built BY hands. AND He is NOT served BY human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives all men life AND breath AND everything else. From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; AND He determined the times set for them AND the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek Him AND perhaps reach out to Him AND find Him, though He is NOT far from each one of us. For in Him we live AND move AND have our being." "...In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent. For He has 'set a day' when He will judge the world with justice by the man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men BY raising Him from the dead.' When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some of them sneered, but others said, "We want to hear you again on this subject." --Acts of the Holy Spirit and Apostles, chapter 17 Hope this will all be recognized as reality for us all!
I don’t understand the criticism of the audience...just sounds like church to me. And even if some are intoxicated as some say, so what? Then all the better to know a song about Jesus excites them instead of most of the stuff they could be doing. The Avett Bros. are ministering Love.
This is an awesome performance of my favorite gospel song. I wish they would have performed this at the concert in Louisville this past year. Awesome performance
Awesome!.Zephaniah 3:14-15 Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall never again fear evil.
I don't see why people are upset with the crowd. When you are filled with the spirit (whatever spirit it may be) it has no where to go but out. Its actually a compliment, if the crowd was silent I would think they didnt like it...Heck I hoot when people say "I do" at a wedding because of the joy I feel for them getting hitched.
Loved it! Incredible power in those words and vocals! My 2 cents about the crowd: I'm paying really good money to hear the performer, not someone who has the urge to shout out in the beginning and middle of the song. Respect your performers and fellow fans by going CRAZY after they strum that last chord.
Not sure why folks are bothered by the 'hootin'. It's obvious the crowd enjoyed the song. That's what people do at live concerts. I'm definitely liking this version.
Beautiful. BTW: some wise person should come up with Rules of Acceptable Behavior at an Avett Brothers concert. After the first 15 seconds, the "WOOs!" should really stop!
You see there is a time for everything , Biscuit Loves Brooke Forever and always Right , Jesus deid with some believing that He wasnt who He , And the Father in Heaven had said , there was some that didnt like the uprise in what He said , I think and believe on the Word of God if not to be the way that it was my childern or ours would have , been as God would have intended cause praying for them as Job , right but what role in the Kingdom of Heaven would they have been willed , I promise as You God eternal happiness cause I love His ways His Decrees , and commands

Even with the obnoxious crowd, I got serious goosebumps. I love those boys.
My Grandma would have liked this. Love Grandma hope you can hear this in Heaven:)

Crowd knows how to ruin a good song. Love this song, these guys do it beautifully.
My Dad sang and played guitar all my life. This was one of the songs he would sing. This takes me back home just for a bit. As an adult, it has had so much more meaning. 'Just a closer walk"....
Man, my favorite song from cool hand luke!
Yes this is beyond beautiful. I cant get it out of my head.
Jesus ease bless and heal this precious child of yours!!!
Sung in cool hand Luke wonderful 😊

Amen
Love this old gospel song and the Avett Brothers. This song was also sung by Harry Dean Stanton in a scene from the movie Cool Hand Luke. A truly powerful cinema scene.
the crowd was "moved", and that's what helps make this the best video on RUclips!
Fantastic!
Wish I could walk closer to thee avett bros
DANG! That was great, raw and pure!
Awesome!
LOVED THE SONG SINGERS, hated the rude crowd
What a ripper. Haven't heard this in a while.
this was so good, i've watched them sing this about twelve different times in other videos. this one is the best, if not the best camera work.
I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom's shore, to Thy shore
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
I've been to lots of their shows, and this is my favorite Avett experience thus far. :)
Incredible
The audience should listen and show appreciation and clapping at the end
I just got saved again!
divine.simple & raw.
Amen.
So cool
Wow! Just found these guys tonight. I could not stop looking for songs! What a great sound. Hope they come down to Austin, Texas.
Welcome. The best Avett Brothers you'll hear is right here. Their studio stuff is good. These songs are gold.
Austin City Limits----they've done it!
Wonderful!! 💜
Beyond awesome. Yes, yes, Avett gospel record, please!
even though I left Christianity long ago this takes me back to my grandparents sweet belief and a time before reality hit, thanks.

They made one a loooong time ago. Before all the songs they have now they recorded a gospel cd with their dad.
Hey Mike last that's where I heard it also.And it touched my heart also.
i wish people were this well behaved on the acoustic songs when i see them!
First song I heard of the AB. Rough beard. Great performance
I don’t understand the criticism of the audience...just sounds like church to me.

Yes , awesome song and awesome band.
And don’t forget, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ absolutely hates religion.
Nice.
phantastic voices
Amen brothers:) !
Amen Class
love it!
You guys are beautiful.
I enjoyed your rendition of this song ~
❤❤❤❤

yeah this is nice! thanks for posting and sharing this!
o my god this is part of marching show this year!!!!!!
enjoyed it, played it a couple times. Good Job, one of my favorites...Merry Christmas...
If I pay money to see a show, I'm gonna hoot and holler if I want to. If they don't want the noise then don't preform live.
RIP ......luke
Great video!
allleluia bros!! they are from Mount Pleasant NC. Close to my place.

LOL what an asinine statement. Those people are feeling the music that's being played through them.
Sorry you don't get that love at your shows LOL
tdaugh... Down in the Valley
Superb. They should integrate Martin Schmidt-Hahn with his famous clarinet-sound
Not sure why folks are bothered by the 'hootin'. It's obvious the crowd enjoyed the song. That's what people do at live concerts. I'm definitely liking this version.
They sound incredible! Missing Bob though.
I've always loved the Avett Brothers... I am wondering are there any other Church songs that they've done? This is just awesome.
They listen pretty closely at the verse after 1:35. I'm all for testifying.
You can be a Christian too, LOVE this song.
Some of the commenters, c'mon now....don't worry about the drunks the Holy Spirit is breaking through and they can feel it too!
praise jebus!!
I ain' buildin no bookcase.
Beautiful.
BTW: some wise person should come up with Rules of Acceptable Behavior at an Avett Brothers concert.
After the first 15 seconds, the "WOOs!" should really stop!
Only 588,000 views? What kind of World do I live in?
In Eleven years.
currently tied with "once and future carpenter" to be played at my funeral. How is one suppossed to decide?
You see there is a time for everything , Biscuit Loves Brooke Forever and always Right , Jesus deid with some believing that He wasnt who He , And the Father in Heaven had said , there was some that didnt like the uprise in what He said , I think and believe on the Word of God if not to be the way that it was my childern or ours would have , been as God would have intended cause praying for them as Job , right but what role in the Kingdom of Heaven would they have been willed , I promise as You God eternal happiness cause I love His ways His Decrees , and commands
The crowd spoiled this beautiful song.
sad to say it, but most people don't know this one.
did anybody hear the guy near/holding the camera burp during this? about 0:51. Great video, would be good live I bet!
Search for Jim Avett and family
Hey, I just posted a version of this song.
