Iris Dement makes me want to be just a kinder, caring and humble person; can't imagine her singing anything or saying something she didn't know was true.This gal could united a nation; I believe today's radio needs to play this gal asmuch as possible, but there are others out there, that are never heard of; I guessmost dogs will eat what we give them; it's a shame, but I bet even Jesus is a big fanof Iris Dement; knows every song too. lol

A voice that is pure Americana with the subtleness of Appalachia Celctic heritage seeping through. Kudos to those who enjoy her voice and her style; it takes a person having a wide music appreciation and a connection with American history.

Psalm 40:1-4 Modern English Version For the Music Director. A Psalm of David. 1 I waited patiently for the Lord, and He turned to me, and heard my cry. 2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my steps. 3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God; many will see it, and fear, and will trust in the Lord. 4 Blessed is the man who places trust in the Lord, but does not turn toward the proud, nor those falling away to falsehood. Amen!

This is the first I've heard this song and I loved it from beginning to end.

If I'm not mistaken, Iris is a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, which only adds to the quality of this song. Thanks for posting this video...I thouroughly enjoyed it. God Bless, Jeff :)
