That's true

That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing

Fcuk off god does not exist you piece of shit for placing that upon us.

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.

+Louie Neira wonderful words

lol

Lawrance Ovarabia ...unless they belong to the clery

Lawrance Ovarabia thanks - I can't always see my typos on my phone, yes, I meant clergy.

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.

David, here is a good one too kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdh6Zrp8s8vJgnU.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

Yo it really is and it really did!!

I totally agree with you @David Hanshaw

Agree.

Beautiful!

Such a beautiful song.

I’m so sorry 😢 for the loss of your father. Take care . 💜💜💜

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.

God rest his soul.

Amen

Amen

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 KZfaq 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👍

😔❤️

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.

Ever stalwart.

Indeed, Iris DeMent has an incredible voice. Melancholic but reassuring, as you say.

Very true....a most unique yet most effective voice she has.

She's honest, singing from her heart very unique

Honestly? I personally prefer just the instrumental part.

I love hee odd voice, yes.

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!

The song is about Christ Jesus! The King of Kings

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 is entitled to say what he likes. Regardless of religion.

@@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.

jesus christ! are you for real? Fuck you, go to heaven already!

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"

Amazing statement. Well said

***** My favorite fool is the Joker in Batman.

I can relate man. This was my Granny's favorite song. I get emotional thinking about her.

How is she?

Idaho or Arizona? These pictures are flat out spectacular. Wow!!!

are you a christian convert,or just like the music?

​@andreasobuaculla9511 I am a blessed Christian, who really loves this music too.

AMEN TO THAT.

Agree! Might be nice if her name was included in the description.

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 !!!

AfroSamuray1 Without a doubt.

The best western.

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.

Spirituality divorced Religion long ago, based on irreconcilable differences. God said: "My ways are higher than your ways."

Me either, I’m Christian; a poor one however. But still a Christian.

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.

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.

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.

+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,

+Lennox Blackwood Thank-you my friend...

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.

Well said!

Hey friend, still going strong after 11 years!

🫡😃well said - most politicians are business driven - (not people) sad 😞

@@haroldwilliams1535 Harold can you send me a link for this commercial you are referring to? Thank you.

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.

fuck you.

But the righteous are as bold as a lion

Yes sweetheart for sure !!!!! Adorable.

At least you can have a home in Heaven leaning on the everlasting arms.

That is the point.... the odds are not against you... satan is

God with us

I am a poor example of a Christian. I too want this sung at my funeral and pray that I keep having the strength to lean on the everlasting arms. It is hard to trust in "this something" that is so much greater than ourselves.

If you are an Atheist what does it matter what is sung at your funeral?

John Rider for the people who gather there to celebrate bobo's life.

John Rider Are you for real?

Then you can't be an atheist, Bob.

+Ricardo Toots I think it's Iris Dement. Awesome folk singer.
