    I think because as a people, African Americans have always been able to pull hope out of despair. Our lives then, and for many now are full of despair and cause us to equate solemnity with sadness and sorrow, so we make even the most solemn of songs into a joyous affair, because like the old song says, we sing because we are happy!

    Now that's why we as a people love our Gospel Music .....because these Spiritual songs were what brought our Ancestors through and is deeply rooted in our Souls. Thank you to the 1 who posted this God Bless you.

    This song reminds me our late Elder Gila, Ntshanga, Poswayo and Somana. They were the All saints Quartet those days from Engcobo, Eastern Cape South Africa. May their souls rest in peace.

    Anyone else seen our Ancestors watching helplessly as their loved ones were killed, murdered and lynched. This literally had me about to cry, I can feel the pain of my Ancestors.

    1. She is a legend and great singer...point blank
    2. Some people talk about the emoiton she put forward....you have to know and understand her struggle, THE STRUGGLE, and you will then understand why she sings with so much emotion.
    3. Her singing moves me and causes me to look back at my forefathers and mothers with respect ..and "tremble"
    4. Looking forward at the music and some artists we have representing us now.....causes me to just shake my damn head. ....and then tremble lol

      Anyone who sings it like this has stood in the presence of a HOLY GOD! The ONLY race is the human race, and we are a fallen race indeed if we do not tremble before a Holy God, who gave His life for our sins. His blood was shed once, for all. There is One God, and One mediator between God and man, the Lord Jesus Christ. Sing it, sister!

    I couldn't help sobbing...... Her singing wholeheartedly expresses the agony and hope of African-American people of "dark those days".
    What's more, I've never realized that a song can be sung so freely - it truly matches the theme of "freedom".
    I'm a Japanese listener, but I must say, no Japanese singer can "imitate" Ms. Marion William's way of singing. She is a soul of Gospel itself !!

    OMG! i enjoyed this! i've only seen younger videos of her but this video of her singing when she is older is just as great! she looks a little different but her voice and expressions are so obviously the same! wow! i love marion williams, cuz u can always feel the power of God thru her when she sings!!!

  • @JayBohringer
    @JayBohringer 8 років тому +22

    WOW! Sung from the bottom of her soul! So So Very Powerful. Marion Williams' rendition of this old gospel song is so so sad yet provides us with hope. My heart always cries out each and every time I hear this old gospel song, since it did the very first time I heard it. I love 2:34 - 2:55 WOW! Jesus of Nazareth let his blood run down from his cross on Calvary at Golgatha. The lyrics are so so powerful. Sounds even better than Mahalia's Jackson's version! God bless you Marian and all this Holy Friday and Easter Sunday!

    Ms. Marion takes singing with your entire soul, and telling a story through song to a whole deeper richer level of the soul. You should always sing these songs of faith with your entire being and as you are trying to get the audience and listeners to feel what you're feeling. Marion Williams definantley does.
