Religious Music

IKE said:
I recall being taken by my grandmother on my dads side to a funeral (my first as far as I can remember) at a small wooden one room church up in the hills of Kentucky, where my clan was originally from, when I was somewhere between 6 and 8 years old.

I'm from WV and I love those old gospel hymns, too. Since I can't go to church anymore, I listen to Alan Jackson's gospel album almost every Sunday morning.

The lyrics of Whispering Hope really do give me hope when I need it.

lyrics:


I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away.
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
Well, I went back home, home was lonely
For my mother she was gone
And all my family there was cryin'
For out home felt sad and alone.
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
Won't you please drive slow
For that lady you are haulin'
Lord, I hate to see her go.
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky...
