I don't think any of you artist read the comments, but here goes. This was my mom's favorite song and it was sang at her funeral many years ago. I am 77 years old and I voted for you on the Voice every time. I have bought your CD's and love your voice. Keep up the singing and and don't ever give up. love your strong country voice and will continue to keep up with what you are doing.

He sang this sing exactly 3 months to the day before I lost my grandfather. He was a devout christian. I know he shines down on us today. We lost my grandmother 7 days shy of one year ago. I look forward to seeing them again one day. In his glory forever Ill share.

He deserved to win. He stayed true to who he is. Had chills the whole time he sang. He pleased God very much with this song! Stay true to who U R, Craig Wayne. I knew when this final moment was over, that U had won. It was so special & something for all of your fans to remember! Love You!

I still get cold chills every time I hear CWB sing this song!! Love his voice. Diffirent than anybody else. He gave over 100% of his voice to this song. Combined w/his voice, the stage setting, & the musicians no way was CWB not winning The Voice after this performance. So proud for him. Hope he's doing well.

This was my dad's favourite when I was viewing this on nz TV a few years ago the song also came as a visitatoinal to me saying he was going to leave this earth soon...2 days before he died😥❤🙏

[@scrappydappydoo]

Beautiful. Too bad they wouldn't allow a cross to be shown. Very few Christians in high places on this planet. Be of good cheer for the new Heaven and the new Earth are coming. Amen. 🙏🙇👑

[@wildwoman8310]

Scrappy Doo Too What I don't understand is, Christians have to walk on eggshells & we have to accept all these other religions' ways & traditions. Why should they not have to accept our cross which has so much significance to us? This has bugged me for a long time. Craig Wayne is awesome, huh??

[@connieco77]

Amen~!

[@kevinknight6737]

Scrappy Dappy Doo How do you know that they didn’t allow it?

[@08Blacksky]

It won't be long either!

[@mugsev]

Actually there are many in high places only that they don't twerk. Theyre leave subtle lives to keep people focused on the cross. U get?

[@terrencedelacruz4108]

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross The emblem of suffering and shame And I love that old cross where the dearest and best For a world of lost sinners was slain So I'll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down And I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown To the old rugged cross I will ever be true It's shame and reproach gladly bear Then he'll call me someday to my home far away Where his glory forever I'll share And I'll cherish the old rugged cross Till my trophies at last I lay down And I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown I will cling to the old rugged cross And exchange it some day for a crown

I long to see and hear him. someone please tell me if he is a true Christian.. how could he have done that song and the way he did it and not be.. most of my family are singers and musicians and I am so proud of them, I feel like I'm related to Craig. I am the farthest from being a grouppy..I am a 71yr old lady from Baton Rouge La...I get so much from that performance.. God bless you ,

If a singer cant sing good gospel song along with his or her other music, they have no soul
