Favorite Love Songs by Merle Haggard

Posted on by

I had a whole lot of favorite love songs by Merle Haggard on this site, but many of them have been taken off. So I have adjusted the site accordingly.

1. Big city

Back in the eighties I heard this song a lot on the radio, and longed to quit my job and head for the wild west.

2. Okie from Muskogee

This was a big hit for him.

3. Today I started loving you again

Another favorite love song.

4. When my blue moon turns to gold again

This has been one of my favorite love songs since I was a teenager.

5. Nobody’s darling but mine

Another favorite love song.

6. Sing me back home

About a man in prison.

7. Are the best times really over for good

8. Running kind – the fugitive

I saw Merle Haggard on TV once where he was saying that Johnny Cash gave him some good advice. He said he must tell the people he has been in prison, that the people would understand. If he didn’t, and the media found out, they would ruin his career.

9. Mama’s hungry eyes

10. One of my favorite love songs by Merle Haggard – Slowly but surely – with Bonnie Owens

They are falling in love.

11. Forever and ever – with Bonnie Owens

It is so sad to see that so many marriages don’t last.

14. San Antone Rose

15. You never even called me by my name

16. Impersonations

I found it is so funny the way Merle Haggard sings and acts like the other famous people.

Here are some of Merle Haggard’s gospel songs:

17. Wait a little longer please Jesus (with Bonnie Owens)

18. Life’s railroad to heaven

19. On the Jericho road

20. If we never meet again

21. Mama’s prayer

22. Family Bible

23. One day at a time

Favorite Gospel Songs by Jack Holcomb

1. My God is real

I hope you enjoy some of these timeless old favorite Gospel songs as sung by Jack Holcomb.

2. Tell mother I’ll be there

I remember John Piermain singing this song at the meetings when I was a teenager.

3. I shall know him

There is a very holy feeling when Jack Holcomb sings. I hope you feel it too.

4. Stranger of Galilee

When I was little, I remember Pastor Shanklin singing this song, and playing his piano accordion. It is so wonderful to be able to hear these old songs on the youtube. Many many years later I wrote my own song about Galilee, after being in Israel, called: Blue Galilee.

5. I found the answer

6. He is coming soon

7. One more valley

8. Born to serve the Lord

Mr. Jack Holcomb expresses what I feel – my purpose for living is to do something for Jesus.

9. Some golden daybreak

10. Great judgment morning

When I was little I heard Slim Whitman singing this song on a record. One day we all have to give an account.

11. If I gained the world

12. Leave it there

13. In times like these

This is a photo I took of “Uncle” Willie Roeland.

When I was visiting South Africa in 1971, I stayed a few months with “Uncle” Willie Roeland at his house called “Eldorado.” He told me once how he was in a car full of businessmen hurrying to get to a meeting, when a tire blew out. He said they went all over the road, miraculously missing all the other cars, then the car rolled a few times, then spun around on it’s roof before landing back on it’s wheels. He said he only had time to say: “Jesus.” He said as they sat there in the car in total shock, with the dust settling, there was a tape in the tape deck, and someone was singing this song: “In times like these – you need a Savior.” Wow – that’s true!

14. The Holy City Jerusalem

15. Take up thy cross

16. Just as I am

17. One of my favorite Gospel songs by Jack Holcomb –  It took a miracle

The other week after making the song list, I found myself lying in bed that night singing this song over and over again.

18. He washed my eyes with tears

19. Without Him

20. Why should he love me so

To me there is a very holy feeling about this favorite gospel song.

21. In the garden

22. He touched me

23. It is well

24. The touch of his hand on mine

25. I stand amazed

26. Way to cross over

27. Must Jesus bear the cross alone

28. Down deep in my heart

29. Ninety and nine

30. There is a balm

31. Lily of the valley

When I was little, I heard my Mother singing this song, and it has remained one of my favorite gospel songs. It brings back so many memories of my childhood.

32. All the way the Savior leads me

33. Open your heart

34. I’d rather have Jesus

35. ‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus

I remember hearing my daughter singing this one, so I feel it must be one of her favorite gospel songs.

I found it so sad to read that Mr. Jack Holcomb died at the age of 47, but he achieved something for Jesus. We can be so blessed so many years later with his beautiful rendition of these magnificent songs.
