My wife and I when we were first married had little money to do anything with but some how managed to scrape up enough to be able to attend a monthly gospel sing at our local auditorium and we were so fortunate to see and hear Mom and Dad Speer. What a blessing. Now after 60 years of marriage we realize our earthly journey is almost over. Soon we will join all of those singers that have gone before us.

[@revdrtiffanyfoster]

Thank you Lord for families like this. They leave us such inspiration,and hope. I hope to hear them in person one day when the Lord draws us nigh to Him. Until then I hope I can teach my children to love,and serve the Lord just as Mom,and Dad Speer did. I was Blessed by their music,and now both my sons enjoy it as well.

I'll Meet You In The Morning...is my favorite. Amen!

[@pearltaylor8956]

This is the song the church was singing when I made up my mind to serve the Lord, 56 years ago. Hallelujah. I am bound for that city.

[@IsaacNussbaum]

We don't go to that city, Pearl. The city comes to us. _I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God._ (Rev. 21:2,3, NIV)

[@alansmlth7989]

Yes folks this is not the Religion to grow up in or what your seeking after. This is the way my Family lived. More Religion and Gospel singing then Jesus Christ himself. I was 27 years old when i made Jesus Christ my Personal Lord and Saviour.

[@janisdavidson7627]

9-1-23 I never tire of the Spear Family. I grew up listening to this type of Gospel Music as my Mom played for Quartets & Southern Gospel Singings.🎶🎼🎶

[@bertswan8831]

[@keepitrealoriginal]

[@cpaakello1255]

amen to Gods glory

[@sondrasmith2691]

Loved them all, but especially Rosa Nell and Mary Tom. What voices! Rosa looked like Mom, and Mary looked like Dad. Grew up listening to this family each Sunday before attending Church. Mama could barely get me away from the tv to eat breakfast. I loved music then and still do! I have played piano and sung all my life in Church.

[@tannermundy99]

What a blessing!

[@janluttikhuis6257]

Truly inspiring to hear and see people express their faith in such a way!

[@NashvilleSkylineDigital]

Thanks for watching!

[@JohnSmith-ox2wn]

I love all of their music!

[@ChristinaMarieAngelicque-vc3nx]

BEN LACEY SPEER HAD SUCH A UNIQUE AND DISTINCTIVE BARITONE VOICE THAT IT MADE ME CRY LIKE A BABY EVERY TIME I HEARD IT!

[@kelvinroberts2816]

that is so true one day we will see our God creator, and those that are resting/ asleep in God creator

[@priscillasharp8582]

We surly know all God's people are having a inspiration, shoutin and Singing with friends & Loved ones". PTL

[@IsaacNussbaum]

@@priscillasharp8582 According to the word of god, the dead in Christ are not singing, Priscilla. Not in heaven. Not anywhere. _But a man dies and is laid low;_ _he breathes his last and is no more._ _As the water of a lake dries up_ _or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,_ _so he lies down and does not rise;_ *till the heavens are no more, people will not awake* *or be roused from their sleep.* (Job 14: 10-12, NIV)

[@darleneboone7064]

You guys have made your parents proud if they could see each one of you. You keep your parents memory threw there songs and I know there a lot more songs. I didn't know your parents and none of you you but threw your singing i feel like i do.❤❤❤

[@birdlover6842]

Beautiful music!

[@bethohman382]

Does anyone remember a song they sang way back in the 70's "My Life a Blessing" ? " Did you come to church today to be a blessing, did you come to help some sinner find the way..." My husband and I sang it but lost the music. I would love to find the music again.

[@carlospaseggi6020]

Excelent and inspiring! Carlos

[@fitisemanulotovaivai6754]

Ben was the first Speer to pass away and he was my favorite bass sing.

[@daimagicfan]

Brock Speer was the bass

[@jeremycook4529]

And Brock was also the first one to pass away. I believe Brock passed away in 1999 or very near then.

[@lindaadams3622]

Brock not Ben.

[@christinamiller1074]

What a Godly foundation they had; a foundation of excellence in Southern Gospel music!

[@agusthinusbanunaek766]

Woooow......amazing.

[@sandrabowling5414]

thank you

[@sharonblack8169]

Great bass singer

[@yes_no_maybe45]

Sharon Black yes, that is Brock Speer and do u know what his lowest note was or what his lowest note in this song was?

[@christinamiller1074]

Absolutely amazing family. I really loved Ben's unique and special voice!

[@lindascott2107]

Awesomeness

[@ArtJohn-qp4kn]

amen

[@lisafreeman8488]

🎵🎤 Good music

[@jeanettepatterson2288]

This same group has been to our old church years ago

[@Sharon-ie8vl]

Great group, great songs . Mary Tom sure could hit those high notes .

[@MattGerhard]

Go Rosie!!

[@mondehlongwane1567]

Ben Speer🙌🏾

[@shermanthemutt]

It's so hard to believe that they're walking streets of gold.

[@IsaacNussbaum]

*"It's so hard to believe that they're walking streets of gold."* It is hard to believe, S C, because the Speers aren't walking streets of gold. According to Paul, the dead in Christ are not in heaven. _God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who_ *ALONE* _is immortal, and who lives in_ *UNAPPROACHABLE* _light, whom_ *NO ONE HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE.* (1 Timothy 6:15-16, NIV)

[@Mr.Stines]

We dont have gospel anymo5e because people let there standards down

[@spongebelt]

Yeah the newer songs for me just don’t feel as special as the old ones. A lot of them sound the same.

[@marydaum742]

Mary Tom, Ben and Brock Speer singing. Rose Nell Speer playing piano. The woman standing between Brock and Mary Tom unknown to me. Not familiar with couple on other end of either.

[@LeftiusMaximus]

The woman between Mary Tom and Brock is Brock’s wife Faye who sang alto with the group for many years. The other man is Harold Lane who sang with them 22 years. The lady in purple is Kathryn Watson, their soprano from 81-83

[@IsaacNussbaum]

This is southern gospel as good as it gets. But can we be honest for just a minute? One of the most destructive heresies to ever enter the church is the notion that the redeemed go to heaven when they die. They don't. _God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who_ *ALONE IS IMMORTAL* _and who lives in_ *UNAPPROACHABLE* _light, whom_ *NO ONE HAS SEEN OR CAN SEE.* (1 Timothy 6:15-16, NIV)

[@sondrasmith2691]

I have to disagree. You can't take one verse out of The Bible and say this. There are too many verses to dispute this idea.

[@sondrasmith2691]

Also, please get a K.J. version of the Bible. The N.I.V. leaves out important things.

[@IsaacNussbaum]

(A) I don't have just one verse, I have scores of plain, straight-forward, unambiguous Scriptures to support that doctrine. (B) There aren't any verses to dispute "this idea." (C) I use 26 translations, including the KJV, in my Bible studies.

[@joyr36]

I use to have this on cassette tape in the 80's. Who was the lady in the violet dress that raised her hand at the end? I remember seeing her in concerts, but I can't quite place her.

[@vitormrmr]

1:41 C#2

[@alpharrp]

who is the lady in purple?

[@ilovecats9336]

I think it is Ann Downing

[@syafindraekaristydharma5881]

What is the name of the first song?? Thankss

[@NashvilleSkylineDigital]

I'm Building A Bridge

[@keepitrealoriginal]

Who was the base player?. All I can remember is she never joined with our Sunday dinners. My mom said she was shy.

[@johncharles4]

What will we say when we stand at the Throne of Judgement. God loves us and Jesus died for our sins to be forgiven and wash us clean in soul and spirit. Please accept Jesus as your Savior if you have not already and love God with all your heart if you haven't already. 2

[@sondrasmith2691]

Good advice

[@kristabrewer9363]

Who's that lady standing beside Ben?

[@sandrabowling5414]

who is that woman next to ben?

[@goodmanfan2003]

Kathy Watson...she was with them from around 1981 to 1983.

Who is the lady in purple

[@ericsills6484]

Wonder who the pretty girl with the red bass is.

[@donaldshelton9794]

Who is the man who sing solo after Ben?

[@michaelholman517minKC]

Donald Shelton Harold Lane, who sang with the Speers for 22 years and wrote songs like The Next Time He Comes and I’m Standing on the Solid Rock.
