Thank you for the clip of Mahalia singing “Precious Lord.”
I gave away all my Mahalia records (this was 1966) to a young girl who was visiting us for the summer under the auspices of the Fresh Air Fund. This sweet child was unchurched. She listened to Mahalia, and received the Spirit during that visit.
She asked if she could take the musice home to the Bronx with her. Of course, I said “Yes!”
Amen!

Dorsey’s telling of how the hymn PRECIOUS LORD, TAKE MY HAND, just “fell” on him; with his hands just playing the melody, and the words streaming into his mind.....is much like that of Stuart Hamblin, a drunken womanizing radio personality from Los Angeles who got Saved at a Billy Graham Crusade. His wife went to bed, and as he sat down at the piano the living room clock struck midnight. As Hamblin began playing an unknown melody, the words began to flow: “The chimes of time ring out the news, another day is through. Someone slipped and fell. Was that someone you?”......And that was the birth of the beloved number, “It Is No Secret, What God Can Do”. Praise Jesus!
My prayers always. God bless.
Thank you for sharing that beautiful story. Glory to God for his fire and Spirit.
Indeed. We need not have vengeance. His Word judges.
Amen. Thank you for leading us.
