Healing Songs
1. God is a good God – Richard Roberts
Last night I got to thinking of Oral Roberts and this song. When I was little, my parents had magazines of Oral Roberts and all the testimonies of healing.
2. Touching Jesus – Unknown Woman
Very nice country style.
This song feels very holy.
4. Reach out and touch the Lord – A.A. Allen
Old tent meeting. A great blessing.
5. Let me touch him – Four Men
A “live” recording. Before they sing, one man tells how his Dad, Vep Ellis, got inspired to write this song. Very interesting.
6. Oral Roberts – Outstanding miracles sampler
Oral Roberts has had so many incredible miracles. I have read some of his books.
7. Rise and be healed – David Harper
A “live” recording.
8. I believe in miracles – Steve Brock and Benny Hinn

11. Angel stories – Joan Anderson
I read a book by Joan Anderson of incredible stories of how God has helped people.
I got inspired to write this song at a house meeting while we were praying for a lady who needed healing.
13. There is healing in the name of Jesus
I got inspired to write this song after my cracked spine got healed.
14. The healer – Mitchell Britt
Gospel Songs by Porter Wagoner
Porter Wagoner sings lots of good old Gospel Songs. When I was in South Africa, I had three LP records of him singing Gospel Songs. They were a great blessing and inspiration to me. I wish I could find them all on the YouTube.
1. What would you do if Jesus came to your house?
This is the very first song I heard by Porter Wagoner, backed by the Blackwood Brothers. It made a tremendous impression on me.
I hope he arrived safely through the pearly gates singing this old gospel song.
3. Pastor’s absent on vacation
I sang this gospel song in a church once, and the pastor got very angry with me, and I never sang it again. I have nothing against people taking vacations, but I just feel that when the pastor goes on vacation, there should be a replacement preacher.
I had a record of Jim Reeves singing this song, and it has a lot of truths.
5. Suppertime – Porter Wagoner Gospel Song
I had a record of Jim Reeves singing this song too.
I love the banjo picking.
7. God walks these hills with me
I remember hearing this song on the radio in Rhodesia. Perhaps it was Porter Wagoner.
I had this on a Porter Wagoner record.
10. A picture from life’s other side
Although this is not actually a gospel song, it makes me think about people and their needs.
Country Gospel Songs by Cathy Viljoen
Cathy Viljoen sings lots of good country gospel songs. She hails from South Africa. (Darkest Africa!) She sings in both English and Afrikaans.
This song by Cathy Viljoen would be a great song to sing at a wedding.

Cathy Viljoen sings lots of Afrikaans gospel songs, and is very popular in South Africa.

Country Gospel Songs by Stuart Hamblen
The other day I noticed someone looking at the country gospel songs by Stuart Hamblen, and I felt like doing an update on this site. I hope the songs are a blessing to you. They are to me.
1. A few things to remember
This is for the people who take Christ’s name in vain.
Stuart Hamblen touches my heart on this country gospel song – I too could be a tramp on the street, but for the grace of God.
Each drop of Jesus’ blood bought me a million years!
10. He makes a way for my escape
12. His hands
13. How big is God?
15. I believe
16. I believe (Thank you Jesus, I believe)
17. I don’t know why (I only know it’s true)
18. I’ve got so many million years
19. In the garden
21. Is He satisfied?
22. It is no secret
I read somewhere that Stuart Hamblen got enough money from the copyright of this song to buy himself a house. Praise the Lord.
25. Leaning on the everlasting arms
27. My brother
28. My Father
29. My religion’s not old fashioned – one of my favorite country gospel songs by Stuart Hamblen
I heard this song on a Pat Boone record back in the 70’s and it has been a great blessing to me.
30. Old Pappy’s brand new banjo
31. Open up your heart and let the sun shine in
32. Pappy’s old banjo – the same song as the earlier one but with a different title.
36. The Lord is counting on you
37. The sweetest story ever told
At times of great trouble this country gospel song has encouraged me so much.
42. They that wait upon the Lord
43. This book
44. This old house
Stuart Hamblen has written many wonderful gospel songs. In the 60’s a friend had this LP record. Back in the 70’s I had a record of Jimmy Dean singing this song, and he said that Stuart Hamblen and a buddy got caught in a blizzard, and looking for a place of shelter came across an old prospector’s shack. He told his buddy that there was a dead man in the shack, because there was a dog on the porch, and no smoke coming out the chimney. When they went inside they found it so. So they started a fire, and by the light of the fireplace he wrote this song on an old cracker box.
45. This old house – on The Johnny cash Show
47. Until then
48. What a friend we have in Jesus
49. When my Lord picks up the phone
50. When the roll is called up yonder
51. Where the seasons never change
52. Whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. I can’t find this song on the YouTube, but I have been singing it since the 60’s.
53. Stuart Hamblen sings at The Billy Graham meeting
Written and sung by Stuart Hamblen – with an extra verse
Gospel Songs by Elvis Presley
I have heard that Elvis Presley originally wanted to sing Gospel Songs. I have a video where J.D. Sumner says he used to let young Elvis in to their concerts through the back door, because he couldn’t afford to pay to get in. When I was in Africa, I had almost all his religious records.
1. Only believe
2. If we never meet again – Elvis Presley Gospel Song
This has been my favorite since I was young. Somehow it has been burned into my spirit.
He points out that it is only when we are in trouble that we call on the Lord. I saw a car sticker that said: “God wants to be your steering wheel, not your spare tire.”
I remember singing this song at a beach in East London, trying to reach the lost.
These are far better words than: “There goes my everything!”
I wish I could feel His hand in mine right now.
Jesus said that he is the vine and we are the branches. That without him we cannot bear any fruit. We need to be always plugged into Jesus.
Although this is a real old one, it still keeps running through my head every now and then.
I had this record by Elvis Presley.
I loved this gospel song so much when I was young.
11. By and by
This morning as I was waiting for a man to work on the house, I went to this page. I got so carried away that I listened to lots of videos, so I am adding on a whole lot more.
12. If the Lord wasn’t walking by my my side
As I listened to him singing, it was like I was having fellowship with him.
When I was little, I remember going to a youth meeting, and they were sitting around a fire singing and playing music. This was one of the choruses they sang. Such wonderful memories.
14. Why me Lord
This gospel song is done by Elvis Presley, and J.D.Sumner.
16. Who am I
I first heard this gospel song by Jimmy Swaggart.
I always associate this song with Porter Wagoner.
18. Stand by me
When I’m growing old and feeble, stand by me. Amen.
19. Help me
I have a record of this song by Yan Venter, but I first heard it by Kris Kristofferson.
20. In the garden
Recently, I read the story of how this song was written. A man had a vision of Mary Magdalene by the garden tomb. Peter and John visited the tomb and left, and she was alone crying, when Jesus came to her, and comforted her. It adds a whole new meaning to the song.
21. Amazing Grace
An old song, but he makes it feel new.
I read a long time ago of how a guy was on a train and they were going through a peaceful valley. It was just before the second world war, and he was inspired to write this song.
Jesus said He will never leave us.
24. Somebody bigger
We are so small compared to the universe that God has made.
25. I asked the Lord
I had never heard this song before. It seems like a home recording. On TV one time they said he did recordings in the “Jungle room.” I have been there when I visited Graceland.
26. Where could I go
I was influenced by his recordings, and so I recorded this one on my LP many years ago.
27. Dixieland
Glory, glory, hallelujah.
28. Run on
Tom Jones sings this song too now. I guess was also influenced by E.P.
29. You’ll never walk alone – different pictures
32. I believe
When I was young I had this record, but I thought it was a nonsense song. However, recently we were at a meeting with Kathy Walters, and she said that many times in her meetings people take trips in heavenly chariots.
36. Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
The other week we were listening to a story by John Paul Jackson telling how when the Israelites entered the promised land they had to fight 10 nations who were stronger than them. He called it 10 giants. When he studied their names, they are all problems that each of us face in our lives. You can see him on this website under: ‘Preachers of the gospel.’
37. Milky white way
38. I asked the Lord
39. I, John and Bosom of Abraham
It seems like Elvis is singing: “Elijah saw a mighty number, way up in the middle of the air.” It makes me think of a story of Elisha, when he was surrounded by the enemy. He asked the Lord to open the eyes of his servant, and he saw they were surrounded by angels with fiery chariots. Check it out in 2 Kings 6.
40. So high
Before we saw Elvis in Reno, back in 1996, we were up on a mountain near the Ponderosa Ranch, and it was so beautiful. I got out the car and walked among the pines singing the second verse of this song: “When through the woods and forest glades I wander, and hear the birds sing so sweetly in the trees. When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur, and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze….. Then sings my soul…”
42. I’m gonna walk them golden stairs
44. Precious Lord, take my hand
46. I believe in the man in the sky
48. Mansion over the hilltop – different pictures
I hope Elvis made it through the pearly gates. You know, everybody dies. The most important thing is to be saved. Receive Jesus now as your Savior, and ask Him to forgive all your sins. God bless you.
My wife requested this song in church the other day. I tried to pull it out of my memory box from 40 years ago. I remembered the first verse and the chorus, then she said “Job” and that got me remembering the second verse.
Country Gospel Songs by Jim Reeves
Jim Reeves sings Country Gospel Songs with so much sincerity, and that is what I like.
This country gospel song by Jim Reeves meant so much to me when I was young.
4. God be with you ‘til we meet again
I remember as a teenager sitting under a thorn tree in Botswana trying to play the mouth organ. This was the first song I managed to play.
6. He will
God will lead us and guide us in His way.
8. I’d rather have Jesus – Jim Reeves Gospel Song
This song was written by George Beverly Shea, who used to sing at the Billy Graham meetings.
10. It is no secret
11. May the good Lord bless and keep you
Beloved, I wish above all things, that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. That is one of my favorite Bible verses. 3 John 1, 2.
12. My Cathedral
I met a preacher once, who claimed that Jim Reeves was anti-church because of the song: “My Cathedral.” Later on, thinking about it, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. Did that make Jesus anti-church? Some people have weird ideas.
We used to sing this one a lot when we were kids.
18. Suppertime
19. Take my hand precious Lord
When I hear this song, my mind goes back to when I was a kid, and the house we were living in, and my parents bedroom. To me, songs paint pictures in my mind. Lynette Dell told me once that he is just expressing other people’s feelings in song. I think he does it well with these country gospel songs.
22. The flowers, the sunset, the trees
I love the sunsets. God used to talk to Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening.
23. The gun
Although this is not officially a religious song, it has a tremendous meaning to me. I heard this song for the first time today, and I cried and cried and cried. He says: “The road to happiness isn’t paved with hate.” Recently the Holy Spirit has been working on me, showing to me that we cannot have bitterness and joy at the same time. We must have one or the other. They cannot both live in us at the same time. Friend, forgive all who have done you wrong. That is the way to happiness. Only then can God forgive us.
24. The night watch
When I was young, I heard this country gospel song, and it has always been such a comfort to me.
27. We thank Thee
29. Where we’ll never grow old
30. Whispering hope
At one stage in my life, I lost hope, then this song became so very real to me.
Gospel Songs by Johnny Cash
I love Johnny Cash’s gospel songs more than his pop songs.
I love this one, and have sung it hundreds of times.
2. It was Jesus
Here is singing at a concert. I read his book where he said he wanted to be a gospel singer, but the man at the record business in Sun Studios wanted him to just sing the rockabilly stuff.
3. I saw a man
A Baptist minister in South Africa lent me this Johnny Cash record. When I was learning to sing this song, it felt like such a holy feeling. Like I was on holy ground when I sang it.
I saw this album on sale many years ago, so bought a whole bunch and sent them to all the family. A few years ago when we were in Scotland, my sister Kathy asked me to sing this song, but I had forgotten the words. So it is so nice to find it on the youtube.
Jesus said He is the light of the world.
I sang this one at my sister Valerie’s wedding reception. We did a lot of singing together as children. My parents had a room called: “The Lord’s Room” and we had church in the house five times a week!
I bought this record back in about 1972, and many times I could feel the Holy Spirit moving when I sang it at various church meetings.
8. Over the next hill we’ll be home
Many times on the road, I would sing this song as we were nearing our destination.
Another favourite gospel song I sang in my childhood, except, I used to sing “railroad.”
10. The Fourth Man
When my kids were little, we often sat around the fire at night in the garden, and I would play my guitar, and sing this one.
When I sang this one, I used to change the names of the places to suit the country I was in.
12. Are all the children in – Gospel Song written by Johnny Cash
This is such a powerful song. One weekend in Witbank in 1971, I sang this song at the end of three different meetings, and about 50 young people responded at each meeting, giving their hearts to Jesus. I have this song on my LP record, with a friend playing the Hawaiian guitar.
13. I call Him
I sang this one night at a church service, and the evangelist mentioned it in his sermon. The next night I was singing on the TV, when the evangelist came on right in the middle of the show, and I had to come on right after him singing: “Honeycomb won’t you be my baby.” I felt so terrible. That was the beginning of me switching to gospel songs.
14. I won’t have to cross Jordan alone (by the Jordan River)
This is so beautiful. Johnny Cash by the Jordan River singing one verse of this good old gospel song.
15. I won’t have to cross Jordan alone (whole song)
This is the record version. The other week I heard William Branham sing this on the internet, and it felt so holy. I had forgotten that Johnny did this number too, so I am so glad I found it.
With beautiful pictures.

Gospel Songs by Pat Boone
Pat Boone was a famous pop singer when I was little. Many years later I bought many of his records where he sang just gospel songs. I loved the records where he was backed by The First Nashville Jesus Band.
I think this was on the hit parade in Rhodesia when I was about 12 years old. I was so proud of Pat Boone for not being ashamed to sing a gospel song.
4. Just a closer walk with Thee – Pat Boone Gospel Song
We met Pat Boone in South Africa after his show there, and he wrote me a very nice letter while he was on the plane back to America. He seems like a very nice person.
8. There’s a gold mine in the sky
Although this is not exactly a gospel song, Jesus said we must store our treasure in heaven, and where our treasure is, there will our heart be also.
10. In the Garden
The guy who wrote this gospel song had a vision of Mary Magdalene at the garden tomb.

I first heard this gospel song on on a Bobby Bare record.
2. Guy and Ralna singing a medley of Gospel Songs
3. What a friend we have in Jesus
4. Rock of Ages
This is a lovely gospel song based on a dream a lady had.
7. Footprints (different pictures)
I think Guy and Ralna split some years back, but I heard her say that her real love was for gospel music. I think she travels around America singing gospel songs in churches and concerts.
