I love this old song. Boy, is that note high. David, as usual, makes this song his own.

Goosebumps at around 2:25….I just love this……

Praise the name of Jesus. The life boat soon is coming.

Gifts from God are unmatched. David's voice is just one of many examples of this undeniable fact.

1 We’re floating down the stream of time, We have not long to stay; The stormy clouds of darkness Will turn to brightest day. Then let us all take courage, For we’re not left alone; The lifeboat soon is coming To gather the Jewels home. Refrain: Then cheer, my brother, cheer, Our trials will soon be o’er, Our lov’d ones we shall meet, shall meet, Upon the golden shore. We’re pilgrims and we’re strangers here, We’re seeking a city to come, The lifeboat soon is coming, To gather the Jewels home. 3 The lifeboat soon is coming, By eyes of faith I see As she sweeps thro’ the waters To rescue you and me, And land us safely in the port With friends we love so dear. “Get ready,” cries the Captain; “Oh, look, she’s almost here.” [Refrain]

[@yeshuabride-sherry3025]

Watch them all as they watch David take the solo portion, Gloria Gaither, Ivan Parker, Dean Hopper, Guy Penrod, Vestal Goodman. Steven Hill looks like he's about worried sick. They all know how high this song is and this was David Phelps' first Reunion so you know they were kinda worried. When he nails it you can see how happy and relieved they are! I enjoy watching them react almost as much as I enjoy hearing them all sing, including David.

[@sandrawhittaker4765]

I didnt see it that way at all, this is the same way I saw George Younce and others react when David,Guy and I believe Sherri sing The love of God, just Amaze at how well he hits those high notes,not worry

3:20 Rex was the greatest bass singer ever. He passed away at the same day that homecoming was typing.

[@idaclaire1869]

Nicolas…..Rex passed away in London the night they rehearsed for the London concert. He went to rehearsal and then passed away from a heart attack during the night. That was on the same trip.

[@brianmurtha1133]

Look at the expressions of the guy to David's right and behind him when he hits his note. Shocked and amazed.

[@paean109]

+Brian Murtha... The man behind David with the glasses is Stephen Hill. Stephen is a great singer and would likely be able to hit some of those high notes himself. The guy to David's right in the yellow jacket is Dean Hopper from the Gospel group, The Hoppers. I like Ivan Parkers reaction after David finishes. Ivan is sitting in the middle center of everyone in a silver suit. To Guy Penrod's right... I so love this song. David Phelps at his best.

[@TheJamaican]

dwl yes I see him looking

[@yelyharmony2047]

paean109 you're kidding right?Stephen Hill hitting David's high notes...Man...you gotta study a little more and also know that falsetto will never stand a chance against a full chest voice. Do you even know what falsetto is?...well...i could hit every note of David with falsetto...but that doesn't count man.

He is from The Hoppers

As a young person even though I was saved, songs like this didn’t resonate as much as they do as I sit here as a 51 year old man. I have a wife, mother, and father waiting on that shore. The trials of this life have a way of bringing your vision into focus on what’s important and I long to go home.

The stormy clouds of darkness will turn to brightest day. Then let us all take courage for we're not left alone. The life-boat soon is coming to gather His Jewels home. Then cheer, my brothers cheer, our trials will soon be o'er. Our loved ones we shall meet, shall meet upon the golden shore. We're pilgrims and we're strangers here, we're seeking a city to come. The life-boat soon is coming to gather His Jewels home. SOLO The life-boat soon is coming by the eye of faith I see. As she sweeps through the waters to rescue you and me. And land us safely on the port with friends we love so dear. "Get ready, " cries the Captain, "O look, she's almost here". ALL SING Then cheer, my sisters cheer, our trials will soon be o'er. Our loved ones we shall meet, shall meet upon the golden shore. We're pilgrims and we're strangers here, we're seeking a city to come. The life-boat soon is coming to gather His Jewels home. The life-boat soon is coming to gather His Jewels home.

This song holds so much meaning, promise and longing, for so many of us; and, this video....the beloved Gaither Friends ensemble, the Choir, the beautiful & awe-inspiring venue, the magnificent soaring voice & passionate delivery of David Phelps's solo (I forget to breathe when he "takes flight")....manages to trigger, capture, and express those powerful emotions. I thank God, sincerely, for the whole Gaither operations phenomenon. Thanx VEVO!
