Guadalupe

[@harveyjones1245]

There are ghosts out in the rain tonight High up in those ancient trees Lord, I've given up without a fight Another blind fool on his knees And all the Gods that I've abandoned Begin to speak in simple tongues Lord, suddenly I've come to know There are no roads left to run Now it's the hour of dogs a-barking That's what the old ones used to say It's first light or it's sundown Before the children cease their play When the mountains glow like mission wine And turn gray like a Spanish roan Ten thousand eyes will stop to worship And turn away and head on home She is reaching out her arms tonight Lord, my poverty is real I pray roses shall rain down on me From Guadalupe on her hill But who am I to doubt these mysteries Cured in centuries of blood and candle smoke I am the least of all your pilgrims here I am most in need of hope She appeared to Juan Diego She left her image on his cape Five hundred years of sorrow Have not destroyed their deepest faith But here I am your ragged disbeliever Old doubting Thomas drowns in tears As I watched your church sink through the earth Like a heart worn down through fear She is reaching out her arms tonight Lord, my poverty is real I pray roses shall rain down on me From Guadalupe on her hill But who am I to doubt these mysteries Cured in centuries of blood and candle smoke I am the least of all your pilgrims here But I am most in need of hope I am the least of all your pilgrims here But I am most in need of hope Songwriter: Tom Russell

Isn't this a dagger in the heart of our pretentious cynicism. We don't know but we still hope. Most in need.

[@tomharter2957]

Such deep meaning, and such a wonderful melody………Thanks to her beautiful voice!

[@artgccdmn4627]

God knows, sometimes we need tunes like this splendor in order to not give up at the tought that there are still good people out there and not just greedy nutcases. I wish there would be an end to all those painful drug problems in the world and violence, Merry Christmas everyone, and thanks to the uploader, Gretchen and of course Mr Tom Russel. Health, luck, just the best, May God keep all of You healthy. THANK YOU

Any song about the Virgin of Guadalupe is a good song but this is a great one!

[@aussiebornandbred]

I found this song by accident , i was looking for videos of guadalupe México as a place of interest to visit, but now this song has been added to my play list,,, simply beautiful

[@SandDancerHellie]

This makes the hairs on my neck stand up every time. Just stunning.

[@centuriesofblood]

One of the most beautiful poems ever written.

[@lookinglassalice]

Who am I to doubt these mysteries, cured in centuries of blood and candle smoke, I am the least of all your pilgrims here, but I am most in need of hope...beautiful!!

[@denniscote1696]

This is one of the most beautiful sounds I have EVER heard.

[@andytrott4266]

What a stunning version of this you sang in Bristol, England last Thursday . I swear you could hear a pin drop , totally captivating.

[@vikkidylan]

Gretchen, you knocked it out of the park....gorgeous !!

[@kathleenpeet1194]

One of my favorites from 'One To the Heart, One to the Head'... that and Blue Mountains of Mexico....

[@Nazaroonie]

Isn't it wonderful that you can hear a great song played live for the first time (Old Town Hall, Buckingham) and then come home and find out more about it on the internet?!!

[@seancrowe8488]

[@stevenhawkyard9771]

Such a beautiful song from a superb album. Every time I hear it I have a powerful urge to cry, every damned time. Such magic, Gretchen.....

[@Imissthepostoffice]

Tom Russell 'brought me here'. We recently saw him in Chicago (Fitzgerald's). He sang this, and so this is where I found you. You have a beautiful and soulful voice. I feel I am happy to now know you.

[@mikestephens90]

Gretchen, I saw you and your husband last night at the Ark in Ann Arbor, MI. I loved your music and I especially appreciated that you sang this song. Tom Russell has been a long time inspiration to me. And now there's you and Barry. Best of success in your touring.

[@Gypsy0210]

Beautiful! "I am Most in need of Hope", this touches my heart! All of the song is amazing! Great Job, Once again! Gretchen has a voice that everyone should hear if most would just Really Listen!!!

[@BarTRanch]

Wonderful Song...Thanks for this Gretchen........Love it.....

[@stuartrusso6948]

Gretchen I saw you perform this in York (UK) a year ago with Barry and Christine. After 17 years of The Secret Of Life being possibly my favorite song you surpassed it with this one. This version is amazing! Thank you for all your great songs over the years and I look forward to plenty more. I wish you every success because you deserve it!

[@michaelhertwig4528]

A remarkable song

Tom Russell has written dozens o songs with this level of imagery. Try the acoustic version of ‘Nina Simone’. America’s greatest living songwriter.

[@tortugajoe7420]

listening in from Texas' Big Bend.

[@northendnorman]

wow so beautiful.....

[@edicamon8486]

Potser la cançó més bonica gravada mai per aquesta senyora, gràcies Gretchen.

[@patrickhamrock2003]

Yes, most in need of hope. I had my GUADALUPE STATUE in front of my trailer. She was taken during the night. I wasn't mad. I figured that who ever took her. Was needed her more than I did.

[@vikkidylan]

beautiful!!! thanks for posting

@mysteria31 It was Gretchen and Barry Walsh. Lovely stuff!
