I was a man of many faiths but a master of none. Baptized Russian Orthodox, & now in my old age I remember only one prayer. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change the courage to change the things I can & the wisdom to know the difference. I’m a year clean off methodone & 2 years clean off heroin, which consumed me for 20 years. Thank u Lord It’s good to have a clear head.

Goosebumps!

[@jessejames7268]

You can't beat beautiful harmony

[@MsSoundguy]

"Christian" is not something I'd ever call myself. I do love the old timey hymns, and this performance is superb.

[@adrianacortez9064]

Oh good lord show them the way

[@trukeesey8715]

Can you recommend someone, who WOULD ever call you "Christian"? What use is some one who WON'T do somethin? We need someone who would. If you call, to a plumber, and he says "I WOn't do it" then the natural question is "can you recommend someone who would?".

[@MsSoundguy]

@@trukeesey8715 Nice in theory, but there's the part about WHY the plumber won't do it. I live in a state where that's still legal, just as denying me anything except marriage is perfectly legal because I, as a homosexual, offend their "deeply held religious beliefs." I care less about those beliefs and more about the person's business acumen. I hope that NO one would EVER call me 'Christian,' because I'm not, nor do I ever hope to be.

[@andrelevy3791]

Tres belle melodie dans une excellente interprétation qui rappelle le film O'Brothers

[@civilization57]

Simply wonderful! Beautiful harmony about the religion of Jesus' love and righteousness!

[@stevequizodlibumpbumpbump3575]

Jesus did not intend to start a religion. Neither did Paul. There was an actual experience bein shown. Jesus's successor was next to reveal The Experience. No turnin back to Jesus was just, after his successor began. I suspect it was Ananias. Today it is Prem Rawat. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH25dpmtjpuNqMk

[@civilization57]

@@stevequizodlibumpbumpbump3575 Prem preaches a message of world peace. Jesus said, "I did not come to bring peace but a sword." Matt 10:34 Jesus taught that only through radical repentance and forgiveness through the blood of Jesus can we appease the Creator God that we have deeply offended by our rebellious ways. We are an evil world that sows sin and death. Without radical repentance, there can be no peace on earth.

As I went down in the river to pray Studying about that good old way And who shall wear the robe and crown Good Lord, show me the way! O brothers let's go down Let's go down, come on down Come on brothers let's go down Down in the river to pray As I went down in the river to pray Studying about that good old way And who shall wear the starry crown Good Lord, show me the way! O mothers let's go down Let's go down, come on down Come on mothers let's go down Down in the river to pray As I went down in the river to pray Studying about that good old way And who shall wear the starry crown Good Lord, show me the way! O fathers let's go down Let's go down, come on down Come on fathers let's go down Down in the river to pray
