Inspirations- Touring That City

[@simon65775ify]

I do not know who will read this, if anyone, but this song was my grandma's favorite. This December shall be 3 years since she entered Glory. I cannot wait to see her again. But most of all...my first love, my God and King...Jesus. Him, who saved me from my sins, and gave me life everlasting...Jesus I need to see first.

[@philholloway4424]

Amen Brother!!! Hope your grandma rests in peace! Along with my mamaw and papaw...

[@jeffdrummonds535]

I'm dedicating this song to Grandma as I am sure she is reading your note Dennis. Enjoy your happy life in heaven , my husband loves this song also and he is in heaven too.

[@michaelcalvert9229]

Thank God for the early 70s South gospel music. It helped me to accept christ at the age of 10.

[@rickredmond9847]

There was none better. These guys typified what true Southern Gospel sounds like.

[@Peaceful-hi9iy]

Reminds me of attending gospel singings with my precious Granny. She's touring that city today. ❤

[@AmyHWickham]

I grew up listening to the Inspirations, the Florida Boys, the Lewis Family, and numerous other amazing southern gospel groups! Praise the Lord we were exposed to this fantastic music held at Inspirations Park in Cherokee, NC where our parents took us for vacation summer after summer!! By far, one of the BEST Gospel Albums ever made!!!! ARCHIE blows me away!!!

[@lindagray3883]

I remember my Grandma singing this music and playing it so much and it became a big part of my childhood!

[@airiela]

I used to listen to them with my Mamaw for hours when I would stay with her. She owned ever record (vinyl) they ever put out and my Uncle, Dad and brother would sing their songs in church. We always had front row seats in that little church and it was always packed. They even came to my school and performed.

[@Zanmeizhu]

Before my younger brother, Romeo, went to be with the Lord, we always sang this song together.

[@oscareasler1125]

You shall sing it again with your brother my dear in a better world and a better country.

[@rachelwidenerbentley7677]

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Not sure if you knew this or not, but Uncle Arthel "Doc" Watson -whole family had these albums everywhere - he bought them and brought them over for Grandma Ruby (his sister) and listened to them for hours on end. Reminds me of happier times for sure. Thank you for sharing this.

[@tolbertstone1491]

I have listened to this group and others on the Gopel Singing Jubilee, back in early 70s..

[@ihuomanwagboso3524]

My dads song

[@chidinwaonuoha3502]

I first heard this song in Wanda Jackson's album. I love it. It gives me hope of a city where Jesus is the king.

[@tabbyg8862]

May I share this with you, if you don't mind? The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. I hope you already know God for yourself, but if you don't know Him you can know Him today. Jesus suffered, bled and died to pay for your sins and mine, out of love for us! Salvation is in faith, but one must first realize that they are a lost sinner and will die and burn in hell for all eternity without Christ. Once we see ourselves, all one needs to do is repent of their sins, and put their faith in God: believe with all their heart that He will forgive every sin. And ask Him to save their soul from hell with all faith and all sincerity! Believe in God and He will save you today. If you have never gone to God and repented of your sins and put your faith in Him, now is the time my friend.

[@bigcountry4539]

There just ain't real genuine anointed singing like this era possessed anymore... smh!
