I love you my brother Charlie. Your soul is the kind we need plenty of in Heaven. The fact that this song is stirring your heart is a certain indication of that fact. When YOU are ready my brother to be saved it'll happen. I'm thankful for your candor. If I never have the pleasure of meeting you here upon this earth, I'll certainly see you in Heaven. Kindest Regards to all.... 👉John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
It's hard for me to express how much I feel listening to this great song. My English is not good enough to say it, I have been looking for it for years and suddenly, she is there, which makes me shiver with pleasure. I don't understand all the words, because the accent is different from the American language I know. But the melody takes me to the vast plains of the west.
Got out of a sick bed to hear this lady. A music critic from one of Australia's top newspapers was there. He noted three song writer's in the front row. One he said was nearly wetting her pants just at the thought of being there. I know how she felt. God bless you Iris, as you have blessed.
It is funny how one artist leads you to another . I discovered her through John Prine and i loved her voice the first time . And i heard John Denver cover a couple of Prines songs and went out a bought his first record .I think i played it 20 times in a row. " Sam Stone" and "Hello in there" powerful very powerful
My old relatives from Iowa, 19th Century, sang with a fast vibrato and everything was at marching tempo… such a wonderful performance. I’m sure God liked it… too.
A true artist. Her singing voice sounds different from her speaking voice. And I know I will meet her in heaven (if there be a place)...because she drew me in with such wonderful interpretation of the most beautiful hymn ever written.
Thank you Iris and Annie. This is so beautiful, so sweet, so comforting. Good on ya mates. Oh and thank you to the Coen Bros and all the cast of True Grit and to the predecessor True Grit way back with John Wayne and Kim Darby and Glen Campbell and Robert Duvall.
I grew up with my dad playing that record and that song a lot and I always adored Iris Dement's verion above any other - then when I saw True Grit right when it came out I was so pumped that the song was used so prominently in such popular and great movie! No doubt at all there were tons of people that got turned on to Iris Dement's music from that.
@@MrIndyjoe It's pervasive narcissism. I stopped going to concerts because the audience talked during the performances and many would sing along. I thought it was just a fluke and then it happened everytime. So, I decided to stay home and listen to the artists on the CD's. It saves time and money and aggravation.
Even if you don't return to church, return to the One who made you - Jesus. The Sweet One, who loves you dearly and died just to get you back. There will never be anyone better.
wish she would have sung this, or, ANYTHING that was familiar, in her Cincinnati show recently -- she didn't do this or Our town, or Let the mystery be, or Mama's opery, or ----- ANYTHING we might have known.
Night of the Hunter. Charles Laughton directed it and it was panned by the critics and he took it to heart and never made another movie. It's now a classic. They say Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best. Night of the Hunter is stark with no tricks. Robert Mitchum was brilliant and Laughton got the psychopathic preacher down to the essence of evil.
I guess I need to explain my comment. When I hear her speak, I hear an adult woman: When I hear her sing, I hear a young girl about 15 or 16 years old.
shakakaun1 I was just thinking the very same thing... have you heard Iris sing ... Our Town ... if not please listen if enjoy this version of ... leaning on the everlasting Lord... I think you will enjoy the haunting quality of her voice in that song as well
As a matter of fact I have listened to her sing Our Town. I like the version of her and Emmy Lou Harris.There is something about Iris DeMent's voice that adds a haunting quality to the song. For me, it seems to awaken a yearning in me for a simpliar time.
A great atmospheric song and voice. She must have rehearsed and performed this hundreds of times though so I felt the crowd were a little short changed getting a part version in the wrong key. I bet most of them paid to hear this very tune sung as in True Grit.
Sorry, Fanny - it's not yours; it's Elisha Hoffman / Anthony Showalter, published 1897. From Deut. 33.27 "... and underneath are the everlasting arms".
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms was written by Elisha Hoffman and Anthony Showalter, NOT Fanny J. Crosby. Can not understand why Dement would say such an egregious thing? Surely she knows better?
This song will always get my eyes running. Every single time. And I'm not even religious
Amen...fitting song for end of one of the best movies ever 👍👍👍 this hymn and when Rooster runs Little Blackie to death to save Matty 😢😢😢
Me too,a great song,always comfort me.
I am religious and this song would bring tears to a glass eye. My Grandmother and I would sing it in church, so very long ago in South Mississippi.

I know it's quite randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online?
Angelic. Reminds me of my best bud who died in his sleep after watching True Grit. This was the last song he heard before heading to heaven.
I am 72 and this song took me back about 65 years to singing this hymn at Church of Christ services so many, many years ago.
Such a different world back then. Wish it could be that way again.
WOW!!!!! THE....BEST rendition of this magnificent song

You expressed it perfectly. Takes me there too.
The beauty of these lyrics with her sweet beautiful voice hurts my eyes.
Her voice is incredible, no different to the record
She does the best version of this song.
Feeling Blessed through this song.
there is no best version...
Ms. Dement is a gift to the world!
As Marty Stuart said, Iris is a true American original.
This golden song never gets older , it's forever in our hearts.
Her version of leaning on the everlasting arms so great and sends chills up my spine
It's one of the most beautiful things I've heard.
Totally agree - come back to this song time and time again. what a voice !
Yes me too 🥰
Iris , you are the greatest
My grandmother used to sing this song all the time, probably her most favorite hymn. I miss her. and your voice just punching my heart and soul.
God bless Iris Dement

Leaning on our Savior's arms, so relevant for this scary time. Thank you, Jesus, for sustaining us during this time of fear and uncertainty.
She is just unbelievable like John Prine and Steve Goodman and Emmylou just awesome ty :)
Love her voice so much
It is funny how one artist leads you to another . I discovered her through John Prine and i loved her voice the first time . And i heard John Denver cover a couple of Prines songs and went out a bought his first record .I think i played it 20 times in a row. " Sam Stone" and "Hello in there" powerful very powerful
If you like Iris you will probably like Nanci Griffith as well.
Have you heard our town that iris does with Emmy Lou?
Brings me to tears to listen to this.
Love your rendition of Leaning Iris...it cuts right to the heart. Blessings
My old relatives from Iowa, 19th Century, sang with a fast vibrato and everything was at marching tempo… such a wonderful performance. I’m sure God liked it… too.
Her speaking voice is pleasant. Her singing voice is unique.
beautiful version by Iris, thanks
Wow. Powerful vocals.
A true artist. Her singing voice sounds different from her speaking voice.
And I know I will meet her in heaven (if there be a place)...because she drew me in with such wonderful interpretation of the most beautiful hymn ever written.
There is
@@haroldcampbell3337 ...and I cant wait to get there.
God bless you brother!
I'm astonished - had no idea she was such a unique artist
True grit
Ahí al final de esa película escuche esa canción, de la que me enamoré cómo para escucharla constantemente,
Saludos desde Parral Chile.

a very expressive of strong westerns, a must of for connoisseurs,Actors and music flow into each other!!!!!!!!!!
Who else could we Lean on. Wonderful song.
First time i heard i wasn't expecting this voice to come out of her wow
Wonderful! Thank you, Miss Iris so much.
God truly used you,Iris.
Maravillosa vos llega a lo profundo del corazón.
Saludos desde Parral Chile.
Very talented women with an amazing voice.
Temple de acero ,buen libro, buena película y gran canción saludos desde mexico 👏👏👏👏
Thanks to you, sweet lady💕
It is a very pretty song but nobody sings it has beautiful has Iris Dement
WISH PEOPLE WOULD HAVE THE DECENCY NOT TO TALK AND LAUGH DURING A PERFORMANCE. EVEN IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT THEY SHOULD SHUT UP.
Those who can't, don't. Ignore them.
Manners seem to be out of style these days Linda.

I didn't interpret it as annoying or really notice it that much!
ALMOST sweet enuff to make me go back to church.
You should. At least once, what could it hurt.
lol
Consider it, in the end it will be oh so worth it
Jesus loves you
Even if you don't return to church, return to the One who made you - Jesus. The Sweet One, who loves you dearly and died just to get you back. There will never be anyone better.
Beautiful 👍
So beautiful💕💖💞😘
Wow!! Beautiful singing!! Her talking voice is so different!!
wish she would have sung this, or, ANYTHING that was familiar, in her Cincinnati show recently -- she didn't do this or Our town, or Let the mystery be, or Mama's opery, or ----- ANYTHING we might have known.
Thank you for posting.
True Great !
perfect song for a great movie.
TRUE GRIT
Damn Iris did in fact forget the words here, but I still love her anyway.
LISTEN ....TELL ME THERE'S NO ANGELS...IF YOU GOT ANGELS ,YOU GOT HEAVEN .
Wow ❤️
Love her. But this song is featured in Night of the HUnter and gives me the creeps.
Night of the Hunter. Charles Laughton directed it and it was panned by the critics and he took it to heart and never made another movie.
It's now a classic. They say Orson Welles' Citizen Kane is the best.
Night of the Hunter is stark with no tricks. Robert Mitchum was brilliant and Laughton got the psychopathic preacher down to the essence of evil.
How does she sing like that?
Muy buena música de Perú
Her speaking voice and singing voice don't mesh up.
shakakaun1 omg. I was thinking the same thing
I guess I need to explain my comment. When I hear her speak, I hear an adult woman: When I hear her sing, I hear a young girl about 15 or 16 years old.
shakakaun1 I was just thinking the very same thing...
have you heard Iris sing
... Our Town ... if not please listen if enjoy this version of ... leaning on the everlasting Lord... I think you will enjoy the haunting quality of her voice in that song as well

Just heard this on the closing credits of True Grit and came here to see who on earth produced that sound. Extraordinary....
Oh my God...
Started out looking for Iris and ended up thinking about Paradise after John Prine.
Also check out Iris and John's duet song " In Spite of Ourselves"
Wow it's amazing how she sounds like a 14 year old girl
Song start in da 1:50
A great atmospheric song and voice. She must have rehearsed and performed this hundreds of times though so I felt the crowd were a little short changed getting a part version in the wrong key. I bet most of them paid to hear this very tune sung as in True Grit.
Whiny and scratchily Protestant, but fits perfectly with the movie.
Sounds like shes had a stroke... but I love it.
anyone know what album she was talking about in the beginning? I guess the one she put this on?
Creepy, but really great sound.
Sorry, Fanny - it's not yours; it's Elisha Hoffman / Anthony Showalter, published 1897. From Deut. 33.27 "... and underneath are the everlasting arms".
Oh my goodness, what was that..?
All my hair stood up
Burnett?
I’m pretty sure Fanny J Crosby did not write this song….
Beautiful Song but alas not by Fanny Crosby I think
Gawd oh lord. More like everlasting gab gab gab. Just perform the songs, you ain't no lecturer.
Fucking crying right now…
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms was written by Elisha Hoffman and Anthony Showalter, NOT Fanny J. Crosby. Can not understand why Dement would say such an egregious thing? Surely she knows better?
