DAVID PHELPS In The Garden Reaction

[@leeannkaplan57]

This hymn transports me back to my childhood and the little baptist church where my uncle preached. It’s a beautiful rendition by David. Thank you Lyle for reacting to it.

[@jillianjoys1443]

I felt the exact same memory. Reminds me of my Grammy. Always HATED going to church….but it somehow shaped me in to the person I am today. My Grammy introduced me to “Gaither gospel hour” as a teenager and I praise god for that. I’m blessed

[@pappynitram7097]

David Phelps: simply THE best Tenor on this planet. Amen.

[@sherrygriffin9927]

My Daddy's favorite song. I can't wait for him to hear David sing it. He's already in Heaven, but we'll get there and he'll get to hear it! Blessings - thanks Lyle!

[@Princess_karen]

This is one my favorites

[@selmaterrell5986]

Thank you so much for sharing your blessing while listening to David. It validates my tremendous joy while listening to just to see your facial expression of appreciation, as do I. God bless you for sharing your love with us❤

[@cheriwilson9937]

This is an old hymn "In The Garden", such a beautiful song and many artists have recorded it. David puts his signature on it when he sings "melody" and makes that little run. The piano is perfection, David's voice is always perfect, and he sings each word so you can visualize it. I kept waiting to see if he'd have anyone back him up with the harmonizing part, but instead he invites everyone to join him! Always such a special moment, especially when you are there! Beautiful!!! And I love watching you hear this song and getting your reaction! Thank you!!!!! Calming is a perfect description!

[@sandrabraswell6352]

Oh that David, he has a way of delivering a song like no other.

[@deettemoon6446]

Beautiful 😍 as only David can do. This was a favorite of my grandparents ❤️ ♥️

[@tracyknight5130]

Yes I know i'm a year late. I love David Phelps, but, my favorite version of this song is by Elvis. My dear departed grandmother loved to listen to Elvis sing gospel. She couldn't hear much at all without her old fashioned hearing aid. So when she listened to her Elvis gospel music, it was loud. This was one of her favorites.

[@lindaslater7782]

"In The Garden" brings back so many fond memories. I will be 71 on July 26, and I've been singing this song along with my grandparents, my parents, and my brother since I was 5. It was sung quite frequently during church services. Thank you so much for reacting to this song and helping me to relive some family memories.

[@louisetemples7011]

My mother used to sing this in church as a solo! Wish she was still here so I could hear her sing it one more time! But I wouldn't want her to leave Heaven! I'm sure she is in the Heavenly choir singing! I'll hear her again one day! Very beautiful! Thank you so much!

[@kellywilliams364]

He has such a beautiful voice.

[@marybryan4168]

Another Awesome song and so comforting

[@gracebutler6568]

Loved it. Once again, David makes a song his own and does a beautiful performance. What a God given talent!

[@dixiemyers8450]

This is so beautiful and you can feel Our LORD holding you as David sings. David is beyond the greatest singer in the whole WORLD!!!

[@davidphillips623]

I feel about this song like you feel about "You'll Never Walk Alone"...a favorite since my childhood...my youngest brother, Chris, sang this song beautifully in his rich baritone voice...he died while on a tour of the Holy Lands with his wife and daughter in 2009 at the age of 37... the youngest of my 5 brothers and the purest and most loving soul you could imagine... when I saw David sing this live three years ago I was emotionally drained from the beauty of his voice....

[@heidicook2739]

Just breathtaking.

[@suzannecolson324]

One of the very first songs that I sang as a solo in church. Sure does take me back to that time in my life! Totally transported... but I don't know of anyone who does it this well!!!

[@rebeccalitchfield6698]

This is an old song. From many years. I've sang this so many times.

[@Shadowlands-yb9zj]

This is an old hymn (written in 1912) & it is well loved by so many bc of its simplicity & relationship btwn God & his child. One of the most requested songs at hymn sings & funerals. It was my gma & mother's favorite songs. Thanks so much for choosing this hymn to react to. Of course, David makes it his own, & how beautifully he does it.

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I think you nailed it....it's simplicity and yes everytime we have hymn time, it's almost always the 1st requested !!!!

[@dcmc7383]

This was my granny's favorite hymn. My cousin and uncle even sang it at her funeral. We all get a bit weepy when we hear it because she was such an avid gardener with the most beautiful flowers....so taking a walk with God in her garden is just very appropriate for her. She always said she could hear His voice best when she was tending to living things. This was such a pretty rendition...the musicality, the instruments, and David's lovely voice. Thanks for reacting to this, Lyle.

[@Okieflyer]

Love it! Grew up with this song.

[@tonischwarting6189]

I love when he sings hymns. My fond old memories + David's voice = heaven! Thanks again Lyle! You're the absolute best!

[@rosemary702001]

“He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I am His own…“ - the most comforting words in our hard times. I’ve loved this song all my Christian life just for those reassuring words.

[@juliegraham1259]

Best version I’ve ever heard of this song, like all of David’s songs, he’s simply The Best! My spirit just soars when he sings.

[@sandylfgrubb]

I love his rich, full tone and his control is amazing!

[@sherrylhenning5630]

When I was a kid, there was a real good friend of my parents, who later became one of my best friends. He could SING! He was blinded in one of the most gruesome battles in Korea. This was one of his favorite songs. I can hear his baritone voice now.............and it makes me smile with the warmth of the memory of hearing him singing and his laughter..........(smiles.....)

[@miamidolphinsfan]

amen and God have mercy !!

[@carolyngelinski1878]

My Moms favorite song, sang it at her funeral. Love it. Thank you Lyle for some sweet memories.

[@naomimcgraw3307]

One of my most favorite songs-especially with David singing it. Thank you.

[@karenm502]

My mother's favorite song! Miss her so much and this reaction is welcomed, for sure!

[@jonsmith1710]

I'm jumping out of my skin. This is my late father's favorite hymn. We sang this in the car as a family. We made weekly trips to see my older grandparents. I'm with my Dad right now, I'm going to be so ready to get to church, mass, this morning to be with my faith family.

[@MegaAloly]

lovely hymn mate

[@suzare6070]

Once again, David makes a song his own -- unrivaled by any others. He sings it like a lullaby and a love song all at once. You picked a great on Lyle -- so glad you enjoyed it.

[@jeanhoffman5676]

A waltz threaded throughout the melody. I can imagine dancing in a garden to this song.

[@lynlockrey7372]

Hi Lyle, thank you so much for featuring David and team. I'm just on 80 and like folk who have commented below, I too have fond memories of my Dad singing that song and our family singing it around the piano and in church. What a beautiful rendition by David. He truely is a blessing to all and sings with such passion and clarity. God continues to bless the songs he sings. God bless you for featuring David regularly. Lyndon Lockrey, from Downunder.

[@joanfucci1457]

David, so, so, beautiful, Thank You, so much❤️

[@marydearing1300]

Don’t know why but I’m missing the notifications for David’s Reaction videos - but still watch after the fact so to speak… Love this… I was there… Thanks Lyle😊💕

[@PatrolNation]

If you unclick the bell and click it again that should hopefully make them work again.

[@beverlyandkissie8789]

This is my favorite hymn from when I was newly saved at 16....50 years ago..lol He sang the hymn beautifully 😍

[@etestg7333]

Excellent performance! Lyle, this may be a shot in the dark, but could this song remind you of the song "That's amore"? You know "When the moon hits your eye..." 😁

[@steviehines6229]

My Grandad's favorite for me to sing to him. Thanks for the memories, Lyle.

[@beamerritt6757]

I have heard this good ole Baptist hymnal all my life . Hearing how David sings it..just gives it a whole new meaning...Thank you so much for posting this...again...the tears. This song is in all the baptist hymnals...my mom plays piano in church and i have heard her play this many times..we both love hearing David!! And may God bless you...i am now a fan and subscriber now!

[@muffin2sweet]

He's stunning!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

In the Garden is my favorite hymn, it makes me think of my childhood growing up in Flagler Street Baptist Church here in Miami

[@colteberlemusic5668]

So much vocal technique in this

[@barbaraarmstrong5253]

Thank you for playing this song. It always reminds me of my paternal grandmother. It was one her favorite hymns. Makes me cry every time I hear it.

[@debrawardlaw4558]

Beautiful. Enjoyed this so much.

[@estahopkins3676]

Thank you Lyle! This brings back so many fond memories of my early years, singing it at camp! It's been a favorite all my life as well as my late husband's favorite. David does such a wonderful job of it. I don't know of any other song to this music.

[@belindareese9453]

Beautiful!

[@terrimorrison3164]

He makes this song feel new. I haven't heard in awhile. Love David's voice. Our SUPERSTAR

[@dr.hdenisewootenpsyd6896]

Thought of another way to phrase it--it's like being transported to a heavenly realm.

[@firefly45692]

I think the song you hear in the background is "Nearer My God To Thee"

[@mdawning43]

Total peace in the Garden with Jesus! Hallelujah!

[@dolorestajima644]

I feel a peace in my heart listening his song ! Always thanks bro I love your Chanel , bless you 😊

[@justlinsu]

I am sure that this song was in a movie Lyle....But I have never been so moved by the amazing voice of David as he delivers this song...so sweet, so sublime...I hear this and immediately think of Ireland....his long held notes still make me hold my breath....

[@brendazimmerman9777]

I have read that this hymn was written with the thought of Mary in the garden as she's walking with Jesus after his resurrection thinking he was the gardener until he says her name.

[@lauriegilbert7467]

If you haven't, listen to Written in Red by David Phelps.

[@SchoeneTante]

He's already done a reaction to that one.

[@joycemyers3803]

One of my favorite songs from childhood

[@SchoeneTante]

One of my mother's favorites. She always picked it to be played at funerals.

[@codslaugh]

The way David sings “🎶melody🎶” just blows my mind❣️

[@juliekeller9932]

My Grandmother's favorite. Just before she died she exclaimed "O, it's so beautiful, the garden is so beautiful"

[@Tabby_Angela]

Collin Raye Here I Am Lord. Collin has many great songs. Love Me, In This Life, I Think About You, She's With Me (get the tissues out for this one, & The Eleventh Commandment & What If Jesus Comes Back Like That (which are 2 songs country music radio pretty much refused to play).

[@janetsummey4420]

David gave this a Brahms endearing lullaby. Beautifully done.

[@hellokittyx7]

This was sung at my grandmas funeral… a wave of emotions every time I hear it

[@bobjones-un1gy]

We can't wait to see him over labor day weekend in the barn where this was filmed!

[@dr.hdenisewootenpsyd6896]

If there's another similar to this, it may have been copied from this! In the Garden is an old hymn. It is an enchanting rendition by David--you hardly dare to breathe or do anything to detract from the glorious music.

[@colteberlemusic5668]

In the Garden was wrote all the way back in 1913

[@danapratola]

AWESOME. It is definitely a waltz feel so maybe that's what you're thinking of...?

[@Astridsscribbles]

At some points I want to start singing Mull of Kintyre. It has the same chords and fibe. Does that help?

[@carolkopp6505]

That's my husband's favorite Song He passed away 2022 .

[@miamidolphinsfan]

I don't know of another tune brother....I've always just known this from church !!!

[@cindygrammer8094]

The Old Rugged Cross is what I can hear the flow of with In The Garden

[@cindygrammer8094]

3:35 am in Texas

[@cindygrammer8094]

With my comment of Old Rugged Cross….it isn’t a copying. It’s a similar flow in the heart of the rhythm, in certain areas. “I walk thru the garden alone, WHILE THE DEW IS STILL ON THE ROSES……AND THE VOICE I HEAR… ……THE EMBLEM OF SUFFERING AND SHAME……….AND I LOVE THAT OLD CROSS…

[@dollbabe2]

I think you may be on to something. Good ear.😊

[@theretrosavage]

What a vocal beast

[@msekingeyakhe9682]

Hi can you please react to Gaither Vocal Band ft Ernie Haase and Signature Sound Sitting at the feet of Jesus 😊🙏❣️

[@georgialanders]

where no one walks alone is the other song sound you are picking up on.

[@michellewhite4575]

Elvis’s version doesn’t come close to David’s version. Does anyone else agree?

[@aliciaharris386]

I can appreciate both versions. On the one hand Elvis’ version will always be near to my heart because I grew up listening to Elvis. My mother and Grandmother loved him very much. On the other hand, the first time I heard David’s voice, no version of ANY song will ever come close to him. So, yes, I do agree. 😊

[@joanfucci1457]

I agree, my vote is for David I love all his songs.
