The Nelons Oh For a Thousand Tongs to Sing

[@johnpinegar8027]

This breaks my heart so much. I use to sing this song as a teenager in church and I am 56 years old now. The Nelons will be greatly missed. 😢

Such a terrible loss. So heart breaking. I’ve followed this family since the 80s. 😢

[@aluhmajal1748]

I just check on the Nelons songs now after hearing about the tradgedic passing of the family... Now theyre singing in HIS PRESENCE face to face🙏🏽🌸🌺

[@janettemcgregor5712]

Absolutely

You need pull up were they just inductated her into Hall of Fame an yes I cried this song was the very one that got me want more of God less of me

[@Anita-r5r2q]

They were wonderful people. I was blessed to know them. Kelly was my main role mode in my later teens forward. I am glad to know I will see her again someday in Heaven.

[@pretreacressey4373]

Now they are singing together in heaven.You will be missed.

[@Pfrazier43]

My heart is aching today for Autumn and the Church family who lost these precious saints from their fellowship until we all meet again at Jesus feet. We do not understand it here but we will when we stand with them in eternity. I don't think it will be long now, but whatever happens, the Bible says 365 times that we are not to fear..these beloved are beyond fear and have entered in at a place called Peace. Praise be to Jesus, our Lord, Master, and King of Kings.

[@jmcdow1258]

Heaven gained more voices for his Heavenly Choir..As heartwrenching as it is praise God for his mercy and grace. 😢

[@beckiborowicz9111]

It’s just so sad for those left behind. Unfortunately the question why will never be answered. It’s truly unimaginable. God give Autumn and all who loved them peace and comfort! Such a tragedy!! Such beautiful voices and people. ❤We know they are where they use to sing about! They are free from this wretched world.

[@harrietlivengood6793]

What a tragedy that we’ve lost the Nelon’s today. In this video Jeff Stice is playing the piano. Jeff is in Heaven now joined with the Nelon’s, what a celebration they are having. Heaven just gets sweeter by the day. 🙌🏻

[@CharlotteAhlemann-gu5nm]

Kellie Nelon-Thompson and I wrote the medley of Oh For A Thousand Tongues To Sing and Glory To The King. It was written in Hindini which is the language spoken by the Gypsies. Kellie's mother was Cher. Cher was a Gypsy who survived the Holocaust.

[@miarosie]

Kelly’s mother was called Shirley, not Cher. She was not a gypsy and she did not survive the holocaust. Lily Isaacs mother did however. The music for this was not written by Kelly, it was written by Binion. Gaither & Kelly created this version. Please don’t use Kelly ( NOT Kell IE) to further your own cause. You’d at least know how to spell her name if you’d worked with her.

[@RuthFerguson-tc8sb]

​@miarosie David Binion wrote both the music and penned the words back in the 80's. I believe it was 1987. Look it up for yourself... David and Nicole Binion, are wonderful Worship leaders to this day Nov '2024.
