Kelly Nelon, Guy Penrod - O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing [Live]

[@yesiownfrodo]

First penned by Charles Wesley, who died in 1788, this version moves me so much. There is nothing like Guy Penrod's harmonies, I don't know how these people are staying in their seats. This version by Kelly and Guy is amazing.

[@debrawooten4158]

I AGREE

[@cynthiaburris3476]

I thought the same thing! I would have been up worshipping Jesus. But we all worship differently, I know❤

[@Cam-vz2zk]

Now Kelly is gone...

[@shanebradley9242]

They are home now singing in God's choir. Such a tragedy to the gospel music world

[@cannellcooper5510]

PTL ❤ This song has become one of my favorites ... the first time I heard it was 2 days after they passed.😢 I did not know them or their wondrous music before then. Hallelujah, as heartbroken 💔 as we all having lost them, their music will continue ministering for Our LORD. We will have them in our hearts 💞 Thank You Heavenly Father for giving us The Nelons.

One of the reasons why I love this song, is because it expresses the feelings from way down deep in my heart. My one tongue, is not sufficient to express the joy that I feel when I am worshipping the Lord. It would take a thousand tongues to fully utter the words, and feelings that come from way down deep in my soul, to express the appreciation and love I feel for my Savior. He lifted me up when I could not lift up myself. He showed me how much He loved me, when I hated myself, and saw what a wretch I truly am. When I was frustrated at life, and became cynical about this world, and blamed my problems on others, the Lord gave me a spiritual hug, and showed me that He loved me, even in the judgmental state I was in. It was at that time, that I realized I had to take responsibility for my life, my problems, and my past. I realized I needed to forgive those who I felt had done me wrong, or caused some of the problems in my life. I couldn't forgive them on my own, but He gave me the strength to forgive them, as I realized He forgave me, even when I was ugly in my spirit towards others. Now...I cannot express how beautiful I feel life is. Yes, there is plenty ugliness in our world, but there is also much beauty. I will find in this world, what I am looking for, whether ugliness, or beauty. I get to choose which I will look for, and dwell upon. None of this has been accomplished on my own strength, but by the grace of the Lord, bestowed upon this unworthy person.

Guy Penrod singing and holding the alto here, amazing✨ @ 2:40

My momma used to sing this song at church. God brought her home to Heaven 6 years ago and now she gets to sing this right at His throne. 😭 It blesses me to know she is in His eternal presence worshipping Him with her beautiful voice. ❤

[@rogerhutchison7748]

Carey this group just got killed in a plane crash I think yesterday .an broke my heart

[@careymarkley7193]

@@rogerhutchison7748 I saw that this morning! So sad! But also so comforting to know that they are home with our Father singing at His throne.

[@cathyjackson1150]

God bless you❤

[@raquelalmaraz2126]

I'm sorry for the loss of this beautiful singer, but now they're rejoicing with the Lord. May the Lord bring peace and comfort to their family

Guy Penrod in his Prime ❤️🙏

[@keviningles5580]

Search the tragedy to the world. I've been a fan since day one. She was the one face. I always looked for at every Gaither event concert clip. As a fan, I will miss her. Thank you dear lord for your promises

[@CeliaBordeaux]

I know. She has the sweetest face and looked so kind. Something about her reminded me of my mother and she seemed like someone you wanted for your best friend. Just a beautiful family.❤

[@clinton65565]

I love this song I always feel God's presence on this song

[@nathanaellee8356]

Rest High On That Mountain, Kelly. You will be greatly, greatly missed. I first heard this version of O, For A Thousand Tongues by The Nelons on the radio then in person a few years later.

[@marthachilds6167]

Amen! 🙌 Come again soon Lord Jesus.

[@glynniskunzler7058]

One of the most beautiful from the Gather series

[@melanieBrady-vb3rv]

RIP Kelly Nelon! 😢🕊️💐🪦

[@rhondamccoy2744]

I'm watching everything I can utube. So sad. God is bringing His children Home!!

[@timeno1763]

Whether or not it is Wesley's 'original', it is a beautiful song and prayer, and it is beautifully done here. Although I grew up Methodist, this is the first version of the song I ever heard. It was introduced to me by my Nazerene father-in-law, who grew up in a Freewill Baptist family and loved the Gaithers !!!

[@betsyheimbuch]

I grew up in the Free Methodist Church & we sang this Sunday mornings. The Brooklyn Tabernacle sings this beautifully.

[@Elizabeth-rk3do]

How did almost all of them stay seated? So powerful!!! 🌿🌷🦋 ✝️ 🕊 🕊 🕊

[@ExisteDiosInc]

Rest in peace woman of God 😢💔

[@bethelshiloh]

My late husband was a southern gospel dj. When he died on 1999, we played this at his funeral.

[@chuckcrabbe]

Simply outstanding! Love it

[@smitty747]

17 Thumbs down NEED JESUS!!! Beautiful, Anointed music.

[@mikerowland1701]

44 souls that need Him...badly

[@debrawooten4158]

Beautiful song and voice....OH MY! My favorite song also

[@richardfeiden1425]

Charles Wesley wrote this song while going through a battle with pleurisy. Unable to lift his arms or sing. He eventually prayed to the Lord and thi can'ts great song was written

[@jandeband]

RIP BEAUTIFUL LADY ❤❤❤

[@mormabrown6294]

Amen thank you jesus

[@DavesNotHere56]

One of my favorite Nelon songs. One of the very first songs I did with soundtrack tape. I think back in 1989.

[@tabeakalimeris1230]

Lyrics “O for a Thousand Tongues” VERSE 1 Glory to the Lamb Whose throne forever reigns. God in the highest Worthy to merit our praise. CHORUS Oh for a thousand tongues to sing Praises unto Thee. Oh for a thousand hands to raise In honor to the King. VERSE 2 We crown You with singing. Our lips shall utter Your praise. In humble adoration, In endless refrain. REPEAT CHORUS TAG Oh for a thousand hands to raise In honor to the King. Oh for a thousand hands to raise In honor to the King. In honor to the King![i]

[@jwbinion9126]

at is NOT O For a Thousand Tongues by Charles Wesley!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FirstLast-qf1df]

I thought the same thing when I first heard it. Thanks for saving me the time.

[@suzicares2721]

JW Binion Kind of weird how songs can have the same name, just like people. At least the name is easy to remember for those like me who loved it from the start. I tried singing the "original" hymn over this and it blended somewhat! Who knew?

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

Nothing to be upset about!

[@amnestyforever415]

ok so this IS the song I wanted to hear, but do YOU even listen to the songs you upload? The lyrics you have posted is NOT the lyrics to this song.

[@erwingraham5234]

776

[@jwbinion9126]

This is not the the tune nor the lyrics of Charles Wesley's O For a Thousand Tongues.

[@paulsell9144]

That's OK buddy, you can enjoy it anyway.

[@suzicares2721]

Obviously, but song titles can be identical, just like people's names can be the same. It helps one remember the name, like I did to play it at church. Now we sing it. I love it, but the title is slightly "misleading" with all due respect to its writers.

[@louiscoppa6884]

Ce n'est pas la partition de Thomas Jarman!

[@shularorie562]

Beautiful song but not the song I thought.

[@musictime6717]

Yeah me too

[@dekkerofarrell]

Love Daivd Binion's o for a Thousand
