Connie Smith – Country Gospel Songs

Back in the late 70’s, I was in a record shop in Hillbrow, Johannesburg, and I found an LP of Connie Smith singing “The Baptism of Jesse Taylor.” I was so happy. I had heard that country gospel song on the radio in Virginia, USA back in 1976. Unfortunately I couldn’t find that song on the net, but here are other songs that she sings real good.

1. Away in a manger

You can remember Jesus’ birth any day of the year.

The man who wrote this song had a vision of Mary Magdalene at the garden tomb, and how Jesus came and spoke to her.

This is a very powerful conviction song. Beloved – get on your knees and give your life to Jesus. He is willing to forgive you all your sins. It just takes a couple of seconds to get saved!

27. Satisfied

I had a record of Pat Boone singing this one.

28. The Son shines down on me

29. Too much to gain to lose

I had a record of Jerry Lee Lewis playing piano and sing this lovely country gospel song. It was written by Dottie Rambo.

The other week an old gospel song came to my mind called: “Jesus is the joy of living.” When I looked for it on the internet I found Don and Kim Case singing it so nicely. So I listened to a whole bunch of their songs and they were a great blessing to me. I hope you get blessed too.

12. Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same, Keep on believing God will answer prayer, Only believe

14. Speak my Lord

15. I do, don’t you

16. It is Jesus

17. He lifted me

When I was young I remember a few folks who played the piano accordian, and we would sing gospel choruses for hours. Sometimes around the camp fire, and other times in people’s living rooms. Hearing Don and Kim Case sing these old gospel songs brings back so many happy memories. Thank you, and God bless you.

Country Gospel Songs by Ray Price

Many years ago I heard a recording of Ray Price where he sang “Where he leads me I will follow.” There was such a tremendous anointing on that song. I played it for a minister once, and he got down on his knees, weeping before the Lord.

14. In the garden

15. I saw the light

16. Just a closer walk

17. Just a little talk with Jesus

18. Just as I am

19. Love lifted me

We used to sing this hymn in church when I was little.

20. Now the day is over

Country gospel songs by Hank Snow

Posted on by

When I was young, a friend in Salisbury had a record of about twelve different American singers. One was Roy Rogers, who I knew from my cowboys comics, and another was Hank Snow singing Glory land march. I had never heard of Hank Snow before, but I loved the upbeat sound. I never heard of him again in Africa, but when I came to Canada, I found out that he was a famous Canadian singer that made it big in Nashville. Here are some of his country gospel songs that I found on the YouTube, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I hope they don’t take them off!

1. The Glory Land march

My wife requested me to sing this song in church last week!

2. My religion’s not old fashioned – a country gospel song by Hank Snow

I first heard this song on a record by Pat Boone. Written by Stuart Hamblen.

3. How big is God

Another Stuart Hamblen song.

4. I saw a man

I first heard this song by Johnny Cash, and it was such a tremendous blessing to me.

5. These things shall pass

Another Stuart Hamblen song that blessed me a lot when I was a teenager. When troubles came my way I often sang this song, and it was such a great comfort to me.

6. The last mile of the way

Brother, we have to make it all the way to the last mile. (or kilometer!)

7. This train

8. I see Jesus

This song is about Stephen when he was stoned.

9. Lord, it’s me again

Hank Snow with Jimmy Snow and the Evangel Temple choir

10. Why me

11. His hands

This morning I woke up with this song on my heart – hence this web post. I first heard this song by Stuart Hamblen.

12. It`s the Lord`s way of saying goodnight

13. These hands

The song says: “These hands raise to praise the Lord.” Over the years as I have been to many different churches, sometimes I raise my hands to worship the Lord, but I notice, that many people in churches don’t do that. It is scriptural you know!

14. It is no secret

One of the famous country gospel songs that Stuart Hamblen wrote.

15. Whispering hope

Never lose hope brother, it can help you through the hard times.

16. I saw the light

20. Invisible hands & I`m glad I`m on the inside (looking out)

With The Blackwood Brothers.

21. I’ll go marching into glory

22. Mother, I thank you for the Bible you gave

This is a powerful song. My parents gave me a Bible when I was a teenager, and I read one chapter a day as my spiritual food, and after a few years, I had read the whole Bible.

23. Prisoner’s prayer

24. He’ll understand and say well done

I would love to hear the Lord say: “Well done.”

25. I’ll just telephone upstairs

26. Lord, I do believe

27. I’m in love with Jesus

28. Jesus wept

The write up under the song says that Hank Snow and his wife Minnie wrote this song.

29. Nobody`s child

Please listen to the words of this boy. It will touch your old crusty heart.

30. Sacred songs album

GLORY LAND MARCH, INVISIBLE HANDS, HE’LL UNDERSTAND AND SAY WELL DONE, MY RELIGION’S NOT OLD FASHIONED, MY MOTHER, I’M GLAD I’M ON THE INSIDE (LOOKING OUT), THE ALPHABET,  I’M IN LOVE WITH JESUS, THESE THINGS SHALL PASS, PRAY, LITTLE CHILDREN, I’M MOVIN’ ON TO GLORY

Well, I hope you are blessed by these good old country gospel songs. Keep your wheels a spinnin’ and your friends a grinnin’.
