MAHALIA JACKSON PRECIOUS LORD TAKE MY HAND

This clip is for my partner who passed away last monday

[@DMbriggs601]

Lord i need this song right now. I've had a rough year. Since July 2017. I've lost Mamma, Granny, 2 baby nephews and now my oldest son. Father i need you to hold me and make me whole. I haven't lost sight of you. It's just that I've lost the closest people to me all in 1 year. Hold my hand and strengthen me through this pain. Pieces of my heart that cannot be replaced.

[@rivermoon8682]

When all you have is God, then God is enough.

[@exoticadolls784]

Have mercy.....that woman.....no special effects..no computer enhancements..... just RAW WORSHIP.......Thanks Mahalia

[@lovesings2us]

I heard that sometimes when Martin Luther King felt he needed uplift, he would call his friend, Mahalia Jackson, and ask her to sing him this song over the phone, which she did. And of course, it worked.

[@blackkittens.]

lovesings2us this was his favourite song. God bless .

[@elizabethpagerogers2756]

This song was sung at King’s funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington DC, sung by the National Cathedral Boys Choir.

[@mctavish8369]

According to Jesse Jackson, who was present, King's last words on the balcony before his assassination were spoken to musician Ben Branch, who was scheduled to perform that night at an event King was attending: "Ben, make sure you play 'Take My Hand, Precious Lord' in the meeting tonight. Play it real pretty."

[@josephsmyth7425]

She is credited with starting the I Had a Dream section of his speech. She is behind him and you can hear her say "tell them about the dream Martin, tell them about the dream" and off he went.

[@corrylorenzo]

my granny used to travel with her and sing back up

[@chriswhite4999]

So neat!

[@donnaeisenbarth6446]

Beautiful voice

[@yvelebarr5531]

Lady Marine. Incredible. She waits with the Lord, and God willing I would hope to watch her in the front row. Amen Sister. 🙌❤🙏❤🙌

[@ericwright2630]

Mahalia was a servant of the lord who stacked her coins, too. She had several business ventures including a chain of fried chicken restaurants all over the south. Her life was tragically cut short the way so many Black entertainers' lives were cut short: Overwork, no rest. She spoke about "working herself to death" a few years before she died while attending the funeral of Nat King Cole who she said died from the same thing.

[@annecytanovich4340]

yes she surly did I had all her music her voice is one you never forget

[@carollouis1941]

In 1955 Mahalia Jackson sang at Morris Brown AME Church in my hometown of Charleston, SC. It was in the dead of winter, cold, and I had the flu. However, I took the city bus from where I lived and walked about five blocks to the church just to see and hear her sing. I was 14 at the time. Was it worth it? Yes, Lord!!!

[@JudahCub1981]

carollouis1941 Blessings! Do you know if anyone recorded that event at the Morris Brown AME Church that day? It would be wonderful to see or hear it.

[@chotzrary]

There's nobody alive today who can sing this song like Mahalia Jackson. She is the queen, of gospel Southern soul.

[@sherib6293]

💯TOTALLY AGREE💯

[@chanekawaihae9723]

You probably didn't even know about her till Beyonce' s performance.

[@chotzrary]

chane kawaihae You idiot, I knew about her since the 80's, as child from the South.

[@chanekawaihae9723]

Whoa you're old

[@chotzrary]

chane kawaihae You too, will be old. Time doesn't stop for anybody, not even you. Now go back to mommy's basement troll. I'm sure your mommy's food stamps will not run out next month.

[@jimmiebyrd123]

This song was written by Thomas Dorsey after his wife died during childbirth and his child died three weeks later. So powerful the lyrics that I know can see why Thomas Dorsey is called the father of gospel music! Thanks!

[@thejazzsingers]

Thanks for your information Jimmie

[@shawnythomas9120]

sorry but the child died days later, they were buried together.

[@jimmiebyrd123]

thejazzsingers thanks

[@jimmiebyrd123]

Shawny Thomas Thanks. That is so sad.

[@judygrell]

After that tragedy, he turned away from God and gospel writing and back to jazz. Then one day when he was waiting for a meeting, there was an empty room with a piano. He sat down and this song came pouring out of him. At least that's the way I heard the story. This is my all-time favorite gospel song. It's so beautiful and simple, speaking directly to God.

[@pritampaulsingh]

I'm not a christian but it's hard to understand the dislikes for this video..peace

[@AhnaBre]

Dear, Pritampaul...You don't have to be a Christian to appreciate Mahalia & her Spirituality. I cld never find any of the Man Made Religions to suit me, but, Spirituality involves many forms & I've loved Mahalia's singing since I wz 12 yrs old. I'm pushin 71 yrs of age now, still enjoying messages frm many beliefs..Maybe, just maybe...I'll one day be able to sing with Mahalia. I'd LOVE that, but, I'm in NO RUSH! LOL ;)

[@pritampaulsingh]

well said Sahkeya.. i guess a voice as beautiful as hers transcends all the boundaries

[@monabrooklyn2719]

The devil is everywhere ... We do not acknowledge

[@adahntshontsi9662]

I am a man of little faith, but everytime I listen to Mahalia my faith gets some boost I tell you

[@bdhthetruth]

it is interesting to note, that a great singer like Mahalia Jackson would not be received by the gospel circle today. She just stood and singed, and allowed the spirit of God to come forth, she did not have a gimmick, no autotune, no dancing, no fancy clothes. Just beautiful melody, and great lyrics. This is authentic gospel music

[@emmamouton8949]

I was 7 years old when I first heard this powerful message. I was in foster homes.one after the other.As of this day I still sing this powerful message. Ms Jackson was truly gifted.Her style help me cry out to this invisible God as a child. Jesus pray for us everyday. She kept it simple for many lost sheep like me He is a on time God.

[@lordberly]

I'm a Muslim. I know this is a Christian gospel song...but i still like it..its just an art tho..first time i listened to her voice was in the movie Mississippi Burning

[@andrerichard628]

+Kiara Leos who are you to judge the quality, or degree of her modesty? oh that's right, another self righteous, smug religious person. mahalia thanks you for accepting her level of modesty.

[@kiaraleos1614]

Andre Richard drama lover...geesh....I didn't judge....read it again trouble maker....

[@kierrarichardson80]

there is a deeper understanding behind this...I encourage you to get to know the holy one we sing about...which is Jesus...he loves you and wants you to come to him....he is loving and he is holy...He can deliver you from your situations....please taste and see that the Lord is good

[@andrerichard628]

Kierra Richardson no thanks, admittedly though my comment was hot headed.

[@Darrell1019]

+Berly Tannyono Putra Why would you like it, it's not Islamic? In fact it is counter to it!

[@Donmarita]

I play this for Don - my dear husband who passed away a month ago. I miss him so much.

[@maymeclayton1402]

Mahalia's singing could make the devil repent!

[@barbarabrown4205]

Mayme Clayton. yes just filled with God's anointing.

[@rjam1974]

If singing were a painting she would be a Rembrandt & Vermeer rolled into one. Her voice was beautiful and powerful beyond anything you'll ever hear

[@karinjudd4118]

I agree.. she is beautiful... her voice her spirit.. sings to the Lord Son of God.. Thank You.. for creating her voice.. Wow..

[@barbarabrown4205]

Roger James So well put Roger, thanks for your heart felt post. Sing Mahalia, We miss you so. Live on Spirit of Mahalia Jackson

[@barbarabrown4205]

Roger James yes,Roger, thanks for such a true post of Mahalia. Feel this song and meaning all down in my spirit and soul. You have to had, been thru something in life to get feeling and real meaning of this song and feel Mahalia. Spirit of Mahalia Jackson live for ever.

[@smoothskin46]

This was the Johnny Cash show he had so much respect for her, he wouldn't let them interrupt her singing (or make her speed it up) for a commercials break especially when she sang Precious Lord.

[@jadewade2818]

I can never listen This lady sing without the tears just flowing from mine eyes.She touches your very soul.May she RIP safely in the arms of Jesus.

[@randombrokeperson]

She is like the eye of a hurricane. Quiet, calm, in the midst of a storm.

[@krazykarly06]

When Mahalia Jackson sang Heaven was quiet, the angels stood in complete silence and Father God looked over to Jesus and said just listen my son just listen!

[@randallmurphy798]

I met Ms. Jackson a number of times as a 12-14 year old on a television variety program in Los Angeles during the 1960ties. Unlike all other celebrities there she took the time to sit and talk to me as an adult. She very clearly expressed to me a future where young people could build a new world in which race was irrelevant. She was the most spiritual and finest person I have ever known,with no bitterness or anger. I have done well but only wish I could have lived my life more like her.

[@alfredmohammed1807]

I'm a muslim.preacher , who.love this song.

[@littlewhitepetals8790]

It's one thing to sing....it's another to MEAN IT!!

[@morgansims9368]

Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me stand I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home When my way grows drear, precious Lord linger near When my light is almost gone Hear my cry, hear my call Hold my hand lest I fall Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home When the darkness appears and the night draws near And the day is past and gone At the river I stand Guide my feet, hold my hand Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home Precious Lord, take my hand Lead me on, let me stand I'm tired, I'm weak, I'm lone Through the storm, through the night Lead me on to the light Take my hand precious Lord, lead me home (lead me home)

Anyone not moved by this just can't be moved. The look in her eyes and cry in her voice showed she was singing this to God and not just an audience. R.I.P. Your journey's done and God has welcomed you home. Thank you for sharing this priceless performance.

[@DaLane4real]

Mahalia Jackson was my mother's favorite gospel singer. Yes she had excellent taste. My mom is gone home to live with her Lord.

[@elizabethaverett3657]

GOD BLESS~!! MY MOTHER LOVED HER TOO

[@Absaalookemensch]

Let us all honor this precious soul by praying America returns to God. The tired, the weary, the downtrodden of the world look to America for hope. If America continues down the present path away from God, the world will have little to hope for. This precious soul devoted her life to the Lord. Let us too.

[@MrLeoDad]

She was so precious thank you Jesus for sharing her with us

[@zachdee92]

Today is my grandmother's birthday and the 3 month anniversary of her passing away. I sang this at her funeral because it was one of her favorites. Glad this could bring a smile to my face.

[@terrysingleton1018]

I heard Miss Mahalia sing when I was a boy and loved it. Not just hearing her wonderful voice, but watching her face. I could tell she was loving Jesus while she was singing. She has been singing in Heaven a long time, but one day, I will get to sing with her and love Jesus, too, and do it in His presence. Hallelujah!

[@jprice5619]

When my mother was dying of cancer she wanted to hear me sin this to her all the time. I love Mahalia Jackson for this soul stirring son. Now my aunt is dying my mothers sister so you know I had to here this song and cry.

[@itsjustrenee1320]

when i was a little girl in the late fifties and my older siblings were at school, my Mom used to put her Mahalia records on and clean house. We lost Mom last year but I know she's with Mahalia & the angels now, singing to Jesus. It's okay, I'll be with them soon enough but I can't listen to Mahalia without mourning over Mom now.

[@itgetseasierlessitry]

So many singers today use vocal gimmicks and acrobatics to hide the fact that they can't hold a note. This is how you hold a note...and some!

[@Gameworks1407]

itgetseasierlessitry holding a note is not vocally difficult. Even Mahalia hear uses those "acrobatics" quite commonly, just because you're uptight and pretentious and sure of your ignorance doesn't make some of today's modern singers less talented.

[@johntatum1951]

Sing it Mahalia....touch everyone in that deep place...I feel this. Everyone needs Jesus especially in these increasingly dangerous times today.

[@kimwelch2058]

i am going through a very tough time in my life right now and hearing miss jackson has lifted my spirits

[@spentipede]

Every word of her song is the most humble prayer. She revels not in any glory for her sake, but to praise her Lord and King. When she raised her eyes, it is to acknowledge him; otherwise she bows her head in sacred reverence. There is no more reverent and truly Christian singer in the 20th century.

[@stephenwright7650]

Elemental and incontrovertable. You can't escape her power and scope. She sings not for herself but for a greater power. What an example. Such talent and yet laid at the feet of God.

We need more singers to sing more Christian Hymns and songs, especially in the united States.
