1. My God is real<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope you enjoy some of these timeless old favorite Gospel songs as sung by Jack Holcomb.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Tell mother I’ll be there<\/a><\/p>\n

I remember John Piermain singing this song at the meetings when I was a teenager.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0I shall know him<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a very holy feeling when Jack Holcomb sings. I hope you feel it too.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Stranger of Galilee<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/a><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0I found the answer<\/a><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0He is coming soon<\/a><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0One more valley<\/a><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Born to serve the Lord<\/a><\/p>\n

Mr. Jack Holcomb expresses what I feel – my purpose for living is to do something for Jesus.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Some golden daybreak<\/a><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0Great judgment morning<\/a><\/p>\n

When I was little I heard Slim Whitman singing this song on a record. One day we all have to give an account.<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0If I gained the world<\/a><\/p>\n

12.\u00a0Leave it there<\/a><\/p>\n

13.\u00a0In times like these<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a photo I took of “Uncle” Willie Roeland.<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

14.\u00a0The Holy City Jerusalem<\/a><\/p>\n

15.\u00a0Take up thy cross<\/a><\/p>\n

16.\u00a0Just as I am<\/a><\/p>\n

17. One of my favorite Gospel songs by Jack Holcomb – \u00a0It took a miracle<\/a><\/p>\n

The other week after making the song list, I found myself lying in bed that night singing this song over and over again.<\/p>\n

18.\u00a0He washed my eyes with tears<\/a><\/p>\n

19.\u00a0Without Him<\/a><\/p>\n

20.\u00a0Why should he love me so<\/a><\/p>\n

To me there is a very holy feeling about this favorite gospel song.<\/p>\n

21.\u00a0In the garden<\/a><\/p>\n

22.\u00a0He touched me<\/a><\/p>\n

23.\u00a0It is well<\/a><\/p>\n

24.\u00a0The touch of his hand on mine<\/a><\/p>\n

25.\u00a0I stand amazed<\/a><\/p>\n

26.\u00a0Way to cross over<\/a><\/p>\n

27.\u00a0Must Jesus bear the cross alone<\/a><\/p>\n

28.\u00a0Down deep in my heart<\/a><\/p>\n

29.\u00a0Ninety and nine<\/a><\/p>\n

30.\u00a0There is a balm<\/a><\/p>\n

31.\u00a0Lily of the valley<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

32.\u00a0All the way the Savior leads me<\/a><\/p>\n

33.\u00a0Open your heart<\/a><\/p>\n

34.\u00a0I\u2019d rather have Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n

35. ‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n

I remember hearing my daughter singing this one, so I feel it must be one of her favorite gospel songs.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0magnificent songs.<\/p>\n
