David Phelps - Bridge Over Troubled Water (Official Music Video) from Stories & Songs Vol.II

[@uploadingjoy9120]

Singing to his daughters during the first part. So sweet! 🥰

[@allandupale5288]

Isn’t it comforting that Jesus laid down His life for His friends more than just a “Bridge Over Troubled Waters”? Thanks and praise God for the powerful singing Mr. David. ❤️🙏🇵🇭

[@siglo2764]

Bridge over troubled waters is not a gospel song it's non Christian was written by Paul Simon the song is about human friendship and being a true friend to somebody through thick and thin no mention of Jesus's or god the father anywhere in the lyric

[@robinralstin4863]

[@sheilaemory981]

@@siglo2764 “What A Friend We Have In Jesus” What better friend can we have. If you didn’t say that tounge in cheek, then I would add this. Is a song only a Christian song if it’s listed as such or can any songs lyrics be Christian? (And vice-versa)

[@siglo2764]

@@sheilaemory981 i can recomend caroll Roberson who is really good all his songs are Christian and they contain really great and meaningful lyrics

Or you could check out bob Joyce for sermons and he does a musical service too which is posted on you tube

Only David can take a secular song and put the Christian twist on it. Christ is our bridge. Love it!!

[@drewwhitehead6567]

Amen ❤

[@trishbillings1525]

David-you put the Church back into this song with the pure power of your voice! Even though we live in troubled times, we are not alone. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea.” Psalm 46:1-2

[@siglo2764]

Interesting that you think that as this is not as such a gospel song was originally written by paul Simon and performed by Simon and garthunkul during the flower power era this song was more about true friendship and being there for someone no matter what they were going through

[@trishbillings1525]

This song is from my era-my generation, and from what I understand Simon’s inspiration in writing this song was listening to the southern gospel group Swan Silvertones’ 1959 song “Oh Mary Don’t You Weep.” The line that impacted him the most: “I’ll be your bridge over deep water/If you trust in my name.” This line helped him finish “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” In an interview, he said that he just couldn’t get that song out of his head-so much so-that it must have subconsciously influenced him, and he started to go to gospel chord changes. It’s definitely spiritual, and I love David’s brilliant take on it.

[@vaneden9603]

PLEASE, this is a secular song. It doesn't glorify God in any way whatsoever. The church has gone all entertainment while rejecting Jesus and the Gospel. David is a phenomenal performer and I truly respect him and the hard work he puts into his craft. I love both his performance of Gospel and secular music. However, let's not get carried away thinking that secular songs belong in the church to glorify God the Father.

[@kathleenmolle3336]

Shalom David, another beautiful performance!You are surely blessed by God!

[@juliescrafting]

one of my favourite Simon and Garfunkel songs of all time and love the vocal range in the song.

[@kasysounds7843]

this song just reminded me that God is everything

[@cperm1]

I love the passion David has when he sings. He doesn’t just sing a song….he feels it and makes us feel it. What a beautiful voice and heart God gave him….what a beautiful gift David gives us when he blesses us with his amazing talent. 🥰🙏❤️

[@bowed305]

@@siglo2764 If you want to compare singers, that's fine, create your own post. Here's the problem with what you did, though. This individual heard this song sung by David, and she thought it was great, so she posted that. You then decided to respond by saying you just thought it was good, not great, and then you decided to add who you thought did it better. Basically, you told her she was wrong for saying it was great, and then you told her that your opinion is better because you feel someone else had a superior performance. She loved THIS performance. Let her have that without you dumping on it.

[@quierodesign3958]

This song was originally written as a gospel-style song. Paul Simon was inspired by the Swan Silvertones, and the third verse that suggests more of a love song was only added later. It is believed another inspiration for this song is the medieval bridge in the village I grew up in - Bickleigh in Devon, UK.

[@vaneden9603]

A Fan of David. However this is my least favorite rendition of bridge over troubled water performed by him. Let's give credit where credit is due, the original is still the best in my opinion. Also, do not worship the artist but the Creator.

❤ Awesome job David on a classic pop song, that could have been an awesome Gospel Song.

Sail on, silver girl, just sail on by Your time has come to shine and all your dreams are on their way, see how they shine Oh, if you need a friend...🔺I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water...🔺I will ease your mind Sail on silver girl, just sail on by Your time has come to shine and your dreams are on their way, see how they shine Oh, if you need a friend...🔺a friend that can be found Like a bridge over troubled water...🔺I will lay me down BTW, I'm looking for a great gospel singer to collaborate with to shake the heavens with an album full of original God Praising Soul Saving Songs. I've been unable to get them into production do to bad health. Please let me know who to contact if you're interested. God Bless.
