Joey Feek Sings 'Softly and Tenderly' (lyrics)

[@dawg7915]

she knew she was leaving us, so she left us with music that will never be affected by Cancer, always there to inspire us, to help with the pain, to help lead us to the lord. God thank you for sending Joey to us, even if it was such a short time.

[@glendaholmes3313]

A whole new generation tuned in to listen to Joey and Rory sing gospel. Many thanks. Love your videos about your daily life too. Precious.

I’m balling like a baby. Oct 27 2014 on my grandparents 65th anniversary my grandma left this world. 6 weeks to the day my grandfather passed. 6 days before she said she’d never spent one without him and she wouldn’t do it now. 3 days later in palatine care I was sitting with her like I did every day for 3 months and she was humming ever so slightly as she hadn’t spoken in days. I laid beside her to hear what she was humming and I turned the old gospel version on. She opened her eyes and as I sang she hummed. Was the sweetest humming I’ve ever heard. That is what hearing Joey sing this reminds me of. She had such an amazing voice and she wasn’t scared. She knew what awaited her and she held steadfast.

[@pinkscorpion3295]

I might have cervical cancer. I have a biopsy coming up next month . I’m trying to stay very optimistic about everything. I will definitely be listening to her as she gives me hope and determination to fight this . I lost my daddy to the pandemic . When I heard this . I almost broke down . I have a lot going on with me. But it’s my faith that comforts me. 💙

This child was Blessed by God to come into a world of fathers & Moms, God chose the very best of both. I can imagine how Joey must have agonized departing this little Angel but God gave her HIS GRACE. Roary you're doing great as INDY' s dad. I pray healing for you & teach her well. GOD BLESS YOU.

It was a fluke that I came across a Joey + Rory video and proceeded to look up more about them. I'm not especially into country, but I do love great music of any genre and I found them to be a sweet duo. You can hear the heart in her voice and it is such a shame their family had to suffer her loss. If there is a reason, perhaps it is so we can learn to appreciate love and beauty in all its forms while we are able to do so. Thanks, Joey.

[@annkokalis6002]

+Joseph Dillman I only had read about her story in People a few months ago. I then looked her up and was immediately hooked on this family. I had held out hope that the outcome would not be bad. Prayers to her family and daughter and husband. I love her voice.

Happy Sabbath all. "Thank You Father, God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, for blessing my ears to hear such a beautiful singer. In Jesus name I pray. Amen." What rejoicing it will be for us to see our sleeping sister grace God's stage in front of Him and His Son Lord Jesus Christ. What a wonderful sight it will be to see Joey, Rory and bub together never to be separated again and the bonus is, we will get to see them sing together. What a wonderful blessing from the living God our Creator. Amen

I wish to let all the people to know that is not such things as cancer or diseases jut ignorance exist. I am an inventor and I found the cause of diseases and is very simple. My ex wife also has cancer and had chemo and refused to follow my advice to keep the immune system high to fight infection. Cancer starts as a viral infection and may become bacterial infection which will damage organs and may provoke death.
