    Yes, I was a nonbeliever for over 53 years. Every time that the spirit got close to me I become emotional. Finally I gave up running, I let the spirit inside my heart. I will never be the same again. I have never been this happy, this relaxed, and this confident without needing any pride. May God Bless You Friend.....

    This is a gospel song we can sing without a second thought. Somehow the words come to you. For those non believers that somehow are moved, this is how we know that God is with us. Remember that you can be a believer even on death bed. All you have to do is ask God for his forgiveness. By sake of Jesus Christ we are forgiven sinners.

    I just needed like 10% on this that’s it. I’ve heard people gospel/blues this out too much and it loses the somber texture that makes it so powerful, but I just wanted a pinchhh more fire and soul maybe on that last or second to last verse. Still so great though regardless. 🔥 ❤️

    I still remember going down to the lake in Virginia to watch the baptisms. It seemed so amazing back then. It's not quite the same these days. In the church. In a nice clean warm baptismal. A little something seems lost. Maybe the humbling experience of wading out into that cold impure water.. I haven't seen that in nearly 35 years. Seems a lifetime ago.

    It's as if...the sound of the creek could speak. I used to walk that old creek as a young one, when it froze. Colorado can get brutally frigid!!
    I praise my/our Creator, & the gift of life. Been a very long hard journey to endure for 69 years. I know the Spirit Guides have guarded me well. I have faith & hope - tends to waxe & wane. ( liking this Holly Tanglebrain) I sincerely appreciate the genuineness of Ms. KRAUSE. UA-cam has become thoroughly uncomfortable for me. I found it healing, soothing now it is a nightmare, tis no longer healing. I wish you all only the best! I believe my stalker is attempting to end my life soon. I just needed to SHARE! OM 🕉

    My understanding is this a song of slaves hoping to escape to the northern US via the underground railroad.
    Special story. Many Americans do not know that some escaped slaves made their way further north into Eastern Canada. So it was with our neighbors. Jefferson and Ruby moved 3 houses down from us when I was about 17. Jefferson was an energetic character. I still remember his gold and red jacket. His pride possession was a large Ford truck. As we became more familiar, my family learned that his great grandmother was an escaped slave. She made her way north, eventually ending up in Eastern Canada.
    When I hear this song, I think of them.
