I sing mostly classical and jazz, but any musician can appreciate the artistry here. I’ll be singing this with my husband at a Baptist church tomorrow morning.
So I am driving from the Arizona desert through the Nevada desert town of Goldfield, where I stop to take pictures of an old hotel I would love to own. It has such an old soul character, and supposedly haunted. I am parked in front of a radio station and this song is echoing in the street.. I am instantly in love with the whole picture. Just like an episode of twighlight zone..
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
What is truly ironic is that as many gospel songs as they sung, Lester Flatt never gave his life to Christ til just before his passing. The song by Ricky Skaggs "Why Did I Wait So Long" was written after Lester was saved. It was said that after that, all he could say way why did I wait so long.
This is an unusual situation here. Earl very seldom played the banjo on gospel numbers. Usually he played the guitar. However, he did not take a banjo break here.
i got to gets me one of them hats. i had one and they called me some kinda cartoon caricature. i guess you can say i am old school. that is not in reference to rap musiz
The old country gospel music, ain't nothing better
My mom's favorite hymn. She kept on listening to this until she drew her last breath three years ago.
Mine too.
God rest her soul
Listen with an open mind and give it a few minutes; the music just might give you chills: these guys are really musicians in every sense of the word!!
I got 'em
indeed they are,
I agree. They harmonize beautifully and the instrumentation adds a bit without overwhelming the vocals!
Goosebumps and my hairs on end!!! Truly remarkable musicans and a brilliant version of this beautiful song! Thank you so much for sharing!
They are spectacularly good!
Old time music - honest, straight from the soul, and no effects needed.
I wonder how many other young black urban dudes like myself dig the Foggy mountain Boys
ivydude13 Probably as many as white Mountain Boys like me dig Ray Charles. I know of one anyway. Have a great day.
Ha Ha! Thats funny! Nice chatting wit ya! :)
+Jason Arnold Check out Ray Charles singing "hit the road jack".
I"m Latino and I LOVE this RELIGIOUS MUSIC, Love Mahalia Jackson
Not many

Lester's voice was just so awesome bless his heart
One of the DJ’s on the satellite long ago said that he would be perfectly happy listening to Lester reading a phone book. Love that voice and accent.
Bless yours aswell ❤️
Love this one 😍!!! Can't get any better than the ole gospel songs and Flatt and Scruggs!!!
My mom passed away two days ago and this was her favorite hymns.

Lester Flatt my all time favorite Blue Grass singer. I don't think that any other male singer has ever come close.
this is country music i can listen to
Never ever tire of the Boys .... ageless!
Growing up this was the very first gospel song that really ‘got me’
Love these guys, the bass player is so cool😎
I woke up this morning feeling depressed and wondering what has become of my life. I decided to look for this song, before I pray 🙏💗
I’m so glad all these flatt and Scruggs shows were kept , they are amazing , I’ve even taken up the dobro because them
Espetacular.
Adoro essa musica.
Grande interpretação.
In This time of the Corona Virus we need this, God Protect Us.

Real music . No trix. Love it 😊
This is the 😎 coolest version of a church song ever!
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
best version yet!!
I've seen and heard SEVERAL artists singing this song. This...is my 'favorite' version.
Just beautiful!!
Hey how are you doing today?
Love it❤
God touched that no doubt! Great job men!
First heard this song in the movie Cool Hand Luke. Harry Dean Stanton sang it
Damn good. The Venice Beach Boys version is simply amazing too.
One of my life dreams was to play a banjo like Earl Scruggs or Sonny Osborne!
Wonderful.❤
As a recent convert to a Southern Baptist church, I never knew the spiritual moving nature of this music. Thanks for posting!
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
What a great time that no more sorrows
Super excellent 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️💯🎼🎵🎶🎶🎶
To me this was the best bluegrass band.
Hot Dayum! It's the Foggy Mountain Boys!!

Lester makes a pretty song even prettier and Josh on the houndog makes it even prettier still.

All I play is old time Blues bluegrass and country
This and Van Morrisons version are the best!
This is an unusual situation here. Earl very seldom played the banjo on gospel numbers. Usually he played the guitar. However, he did not take a banjo break here.
RIP Curly Seckler
Anyone know of a CD that has these classic FMB hymns on it? Especially this song in this version.
