Mahalia Jackson - Take My Hand, Precious Lord (Official Audio)

[@gypzs9]

Miss Jackson’s voice is so clear, pure, real and very personal. Miss her greatly.

[@KinberlyAllen-mp8qc]

God never left me god will never leave we us

[@kmr101]

Martin Luther King apparently said as he was dying “precious Lord take my hand”, sister Mahalia sang this at his funeral. God blessed them both.

[@morganalvarez5925]

Amen Amen 🙏

[@BladedBear]

The film "Mississippi Burning" was made more powerful by the fact that this song was the intro.

[@leslieyancey5084]

I was trying to remember where I’d heard this song, then read your comment and remembered it from a documentary about Dr King. Such a beautiful song, and beautiful voice to honor his memory!

When I was about to lose my Home I said "Lord, if I have to sleep on a Park bench, I'm gonna say Thank you Lord because you have Blessed me so many times when I didn't Deserve nothing but Death!" I lived in my Car, showered at a Friend's house, went to work 7 days a week, saved my Money till I could get back on my feet. Keep the Faith, Trust God, Trouble don't last always... This Too shall Pass!! 🙏😊

Mahalia Jackson remains my 1st inspiration and role model as a gospel singer...l remember looking at a documentary of people climbing over walls to see her in concert. She blessed many worldwide. Been listening her music from my early teens...I'll be 55 in couple days God spare my life. I'm still listening it's now 2023. Continue to sleep in peace Ms. Jackson🙏❤👌🙌🌟🌹

My name is Diana LaFleur I am 64 years old, my grandmother took me to church and I remember that she played Mahalia Jackson when I was about 4 years old, I grew up in Berkeley CA, I've been through breast cancer homelessness depression you name it I've been through it, and I'm still listening in 2024. God bless Ms Mahalia Jackson,sleep in peace great one👑🌹⚜️🇺🇸

[@jamesmoody9363]

If you all are saying, rest in peace or sleep in peace when the Bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with. The Lord I would submit that Mahalia. Jackson is in the presence of God. And not resting in peace, but in her heavenly home singing and shouting and dancing. And walking around heaven all day.😊❤🎉

Late to the realization, thank you all, those who glimpse at this and think nothing of it, soften thy heart and hear, this shall be my prayer for us....

[@TheBong27]

On the 9th of August 2023, I bid farewell to my beloved grandmother, knowing that it was our final goodbye in this lifetime. She had been my guiding light, teaching me the art of prayer, the essence of kindness, and the profound meaning of ubuntu. Our connection was a treasure beyond words - a bond of love and understanding that knew no bounds. Her presence in my life was an invaluable gift, and as I let her go, I entrusted her into the hands of the divine. May the precious Lord gently hold her hand and guide her to her eternal home, where she rightfully belongs. In my heart, I carry the hope that her voice will echo in my memories, that her laughter will resound in the corners of my mind, and that her teachings will continue to shape me. As I embrace the days ahead without her physical presence, I find solace in the thought that her spirit will forever be with me. Rest in peace, dear grandmother, and know that your legacy of love and wisdom will forever light my path. Lala ngoxolo, Magalela Gasa.

[@maudebecton1716]

You have a beautiful legacy in your trust. Keep the torch burning and pass it on to the next generation. This is the race of life, you've been blessed with the keys that will open every door, use them wisely. 🙏🏽

*This is gospel at its finest!*

[@michaelmaqua616]

I was very blessed to have my grandmother in my life for such a short period of time , I was very young (5) years old and I don’t know what happened to me, because they said that she had died, because I was a very disturbed little boy , and because she was taken away from me, I realize it actually was a blessing for me, because I am better man than I could ever imagine and I thank whoever made me think that she was gone and forgotten for about 55 years and now I feel that I am very blessed, because I am my own man and I can stand on my own, and nothing will ever hurt my heart ever again.
