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.
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.
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.
David, here is a good one too th-cam.com/video/GrJ3WKNeeRA/w-d-xo.html and Christourlife has a good one too! Enjoy! www.christourlife.ca/sites/default/files/media/Leaning%20On%20The%20Everlasting%20Arms%20%28Live%29.mp3
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 TH-cam 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👍
Isaiah 46:4 Even to your old age I will be the same, And even to your graying years I will bear you! I have done it, and I will carry you; And I will bear you and I will deliver you.
Thank You. The music and the video takes me back to the time I left The U. of Alabama to begin my career as a Hotelier in Grand Junction, Colorado. The high desert of the western slopes and Eastern Utah I will remember the rest of my days. Lived in the hills of St Ann, Jamaica, and the Tennessee Valley area of Northwest Alabama. God's majesty can be found everywhere. Unfortunately, I ended up back in my hometown, amongst the steel and glass canyons of Chicago. God must have one of his ironic plans in mind.
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"
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.
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 !!!
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 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.
Please take ivermectin, i take it for 2 weeks straight, and cycle off for one week. No chemo, my cancer is gone. My brother did the same thing he is cancer free as well. Order a wellness pack, or buy the horse paste they do the same thing.
Same here, I'm pretty strongly atheist, but I can appreciate that a lot of the religious songs and artwork are beautiful. Ave Maria in Latin just takes my breath away. And this one makes me sad. :(
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 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.
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!
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.

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.
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 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.
"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 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.
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...
Im going to America june the 7th this year for the first time. Im going to spend one month sightseeing California(Yosemite, sierra), Nevada(sierra) and hopefully Arizona(great canyon, monument valley) and Utah (Zion national park). A dream com true! You Americans are lucky! You have such a beautiful country, I wish it wasn't that hard to go live in the states but its ok, I have two beautiful countries of my own, Iceland and France! God bless America! :)
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!
It's been 22 years since then I've been saved by grace through faith alone, through the cross I'm saved by Jesus Christ who died for sins, not religion relationship, I was abusing alcohol for some unknown reason.
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.
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.
It's funny how a simple song like this; without any extra enhancements, has the ability to touch your soul in a way in which you cannot understand. Makes me proud to to be an American :)
We have a beautiful and great land, this land we call America. What we have done to it, oh it just won't bear thinking about. What have we done to this beautiful land the Creator of All has given us?
Not only America! The whole world is destroyed due to rampant globalisation. Ireland is no longer - murders, drugs, uncontrolled immigration, criminals. I fear for my young grandchildren. What have we done? 😱😰😨
@@dt1351 I myself have one 6 year old granddaughter. I fear for her future in this world too. We went from the Victorian era when a woman couldn't even show an ankle to our pornographic world where women wear basically strings for bathing suits. We humans just can't find moderation.
@@kbblaze9371 it's very difficult to see how humankind can continue. We have made too many other species extinct simply by our presence and our greed. Eight billion+ of us & counting is far far too many of the human species yet it's only a short few years since global population was a mere fraction of that. 2,000 years ago human global population was about 10,000. Dread to think how our numbers are going to become sustainable without our total extinction and it's going to happen in my grandchildren's lifetime. I watched an episode of Wife Swap yesterday where a family with 11 kids & counting didn't send any of them to school and lived in a bus in the Australian outback. Poor kids - some humans are too selfish to see where they're heading 😱
@@dt1351 I'm at a loss for words at all you say. We humans are like a field. It can grow flowers and trees and grass for God's creatures or it can be used as a landfill and you know what goes into that. Makes me tearful but to despair is wrong because there is a Power greater than All things that washes us clean, make us better, make us kind, gives us hope, helps us feel deeply and understand that Beauty of all kinds is a gift, the worth of which is beyond riches. To despair is to ignore all of that and Im not supposed to do that to myself or to others. Let us have hope and faith and love.
The most beautiful song and people quarrel about where they come from, well....somethings will never change........God bless, wherever ye may come from.
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.
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.
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.
A believers focus should be upon the global Eden where we will live forever with our Lord in an immortal perfect physical body with the presence of our physical Lord. We should live in a way that attracts non-believers to what we have so they too can see beyond our present world to the land that is fairer than day. In the meantime we lean on His everlasting arms and fellowship with those believers who too are looking forward to heaven and earth blend together into one global Eden no human can imagine or has seen or can comprehend.
[Opening voice-over, as an adult] People do not give it credence that a young girl could leave home and go off in the wintertime to avenge her father's blood. But it did happen. I was just 14 years of age when a coward by the name of Tom Chaney shot my father down and robbed him of his life and his horse and two California gold pieces that he carried in his trouser band. Chaney was a hired man and Papa had taken him up to Fort Smith to help lead back a string of Mustang ponies he had bought. In town, Chaney had fallen to drink and cards and lost all his money. He got it into his head he was being cheated and went back to the boarding house for his Henry rifle. When Papa tried to intervene, Chaney shot him. Chaney fled. He could have walked his horse, for not a soul in that city could be bothered to give chase. No doubt Chaney fancied himself scot-free. But he was wrong. You must pay for everything in this world, one way and another. There is nothing free, except the grace of God.
"You must pay for everything in this world, one way and another. There is nothing free, except the grace of God."

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.
This makes me think of my dog who I love so much,unfortunately he passed last night but I'll never forget....goodnight Charlie, lad love ya.....
Michael Armitage charlie is running wild and free in a field of rainbow colored flowers r.i.p charlie may you one day see him again all dogs go to Heaven....

+QQattheMoon I'm sure they would, if there's such thing as heaven...

+W Rigg Man's second best friend. Great statement of Will Rogers. There be dogs in heaven foe sure
"I have blessed peace with my Lord so near" great verse.
are you a christian convert,or just like the music?
@andreasobuaculla9511 I am a blessed Christian, who really loves this music too.
Iris DeMent has such a lovely voice, raw, powerful, beautiful. Gives me chills.

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…
God bless
No matter how you got here the eternal god is thy refuge. ....
“Time just gets away from us...”
😔❤️
Cry every time. Like all great art it exposes the humanity in us, good bad or whatever. She was one hell of a character.
.....and time is Life, and it just gets away from us, slips through our fingers and flies away.
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.
Thanks so much. People dis America but it is beautiful. It has everything to offer.
Wednesday, March 18, 2020. My anxiety disorder has been diminished. Thank you God.
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
Beautiful movie from the beautiful country America. Greets from Germany.
This movie and soundtrack started my finding of Christ and my eventual conversion to Catholicism. Jesus is Lord.
You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. - Jesus of Nazareth
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.
"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
Come to New Mexico, my friend. The land, air, and history will leave you dizzy for more.
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.
Wow! The congregation at my church growing up, sang this song WAAAAAY to fast. I really like this version, and True Grit was amazing!
Powerful and Breathtaking beauty in this old hymn.
It's not often movies and music sync. The last scene in True Grit with this playing left me in tears.
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...
Im going to America june the 7th this year for the first time. Im going to spend one month sightseeing California(Yosemite, sierra), Nevada(sierra) and hopefully Arizona(great canyon, monument valley) and Utah (Zion national park). A dream com true! You Americans are lucky! You have such a beautiful country, I wish it wasn't that hard to go live in the states but its ok, I have two beautiful countries of my own, Iceland and France! God bless America! :)
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!
It's been 22 years since then I've been saved by grace through faith alone, through the cross I'm saved by Jesus Christ who died for sins, not religion relationship, I was abusing alcohol for some unknown reason.
Thank you for this, the images and Iris DeMent voice ! My Mom passed 2 years ago this brings me peace and remembrance. Thank 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.
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.
the peace He gives, even in the storm.
blessed be the name of the LORD.
Amen
Time just gets away from us.
Love this song, really do, great pictures, too.
Beautiful Song, The photos of southern Utah and northern Arizona show the awesome beauty of God's creation.
This song literally makes me tear up every time I hear it or sing it in church... Truly beautiful :')
Beautiful Song!
This hymn is also in "Night of the Hunter" Robert Mitchum sings it.
my dear people this brings alot of feelin
My sweet pop's favorite gospel hymn. He's 71 now. Where have the years gone?
This is the best rendition of this song, bar none.......
Thank you for this post. The melody feels like an old friend. When the violins and orchestra chime in it takes my breath away.
Sheer beauty. Lyrics & melody combine to move the soul & spirit in a touching way.
The Guinness commercial brought me here! Recognized it right away.
Came here bcuz of Christmas Truce commercial
This music is touching...
May the Lord be with you all!
It's funny how a simple song like this; without any extra enhancements, has the ability to touch your soul in a way in which you cannot understand. Makes me proud to to be an American :)
God bless you Jeff Cook thanks for the awesome music you will be missed
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
We have a beautiful and great land, this land we call America. What we have done to it, oh it just won't bear thinking about. What have we done to this beautiful land the Creator of All has given us?
Not only America! The whole world is destroyed due to rampant globalisation. Ireland is no longer - murders, drugs, uncontrolled immigration, criminals. I fear for my young grandchildren. What have we done? 😱😰😨
@@dt1351 I myself have one 6 year old granddaughter. I fear for her future in this world too. We went from the Victorian era when a woman couldn't even show an ankle to our pornographic world where women wear basically strings for bathing suits. We humans just can't find moderation.
@@kbblaze9371 it's very difficult to see how humankind can continue. We have made too many other species extinct simply by our presence and our greed. Eight billion+ of us & counting is far far too many of the human species yet it's only a short few years since global population was a mere fraction of that. 2,000 years ago human global population was about 10,000. Dread to think how our numbers are going to become sustainable without our total extinction and it's going to happen in my grandchildren's lifetime. I watched an episode of Wife Swap yesterday where a family with 11 kids & counting didn't send any of them to school and lived in a bus in the Australian outback. Poor kids - some humans are too selfish to see where they're heading 😱
@@dt1351 I'm at a loss for words at all you say. We humans are like a field. It can grow flowers and trees and grass for God's creatures or it can be used as a landfill and you know what goes into that. Makes me tearful but to despair is wrong because there is a Power greater than All things that washes us clean, make us better, make us kind, gives us hope, helps us feel deeply and understand that Beauty of all kinds is a gift, the worth of which is beyond riches. To despair is to ignore all of that and Im not supposed to do that to myself or to others. Let us have hope and faith and love.
Fantastic era,beautiful landscape,beautiful song..!!!i must visit one day...!!from a proud Northumbrian,England.
The most beautiful song and people quarrel about where they come from, well....somethings will never change........God bless, wherever ye may come from.
I feel like im sitting in my pew in the baptist church. Brings tears to my eyes. Nothing sounds like oldschool church humns
I take great comfort in this song. This is the best version ever recorded.
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.
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.
This is truly a great hymn.
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.
The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1
What a wonderful voice and song. An inspiration!
Yes sweetheart for sure !!!!! Adorable.
The military use it when a former military person dies this song has been used by the navy since 2020
I adore this film just as much as I adore the song. The actors in this film were incredible, it's so moving and complicated in it's relations ships.
Iris Dement is a national treasure...Discover all her music!!!
A believers focus should be upon the global Eden where we will live forever with our Lord in an immortal perfect physical body with the presence of our physical Lord. We should live in a way that attracts non-believers to what we have so they too can see beyond our present world to the land that is fairer than day. In the meantime we lean on His everlasting arms and fellowship with those believers who too are looking forward to heaven and earth blend together into one global Eden no human can imagine or has seen or can comprehend.
2019??? Beautiful song :*
[Opening voice-over, as an adult] People do not give it credence that a young girl could leave home and go off in the wintertime to avenge her father's blood. But it did happen. I was just 14 years of age when a coward by the name of Tom Chaney shot my father down and robbed him of his life and his horse and two California gold pieces that he carried in his trouser band. Chaney was a hired man and Papa had taken him up to Fort Smith to help lead back a string of Mustang ponies he had bought. In town, Chaney had fallen to drink and cards and lost all his money. He got it into his head he was being cheated and went back to the boarding house for his Henry rifle. When Papa tried to intervene, Chaney shot him. Chaney fled. He could have walked his horse, for not a soul in that city could be bothered to give chase. No doubt Chaney fancied himself scot-free. But he was wrong. You must pay for everything in this world, one way and another. There is nothing free, except the grace of God.
a very expressive of strong westerns, a must of for connoisseurs,Actors and music flow into each other!!!!!!!!!!
Deep music really deep !beautiful orchestra really beautiful ! Great singer just great !!!
+Ricardo Toots I think it's Iris Dement. Awesome folk singer.
Who's listening to this during 2020 quarantine???
fuck you.
This is why I watched the movie, which was great. But this song, well, either you get it or you don’t ….. God bless you do …..
Why is this song so powerful? I'm not even religious
