I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, [which] shall never hold their peace day or night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 KJV
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I'm from Poland. I heard this version for the first time in 1969, when I was 19, on the Polish radio
From then on, I fell in love with gospel.
And it's still like that today...
I always get moved when I hear it. ❤🎉😊

In 2016, I was diagnosed with cancer. Due to the chemo, I was awake ALL NIGHT-EVERY NIGHT. I would play this on my iPad and talk with GOD. Today I am cancer free living on a beautiful hobby farm in the Ozarks. GOD is so good! OH HAPPY DAY!

My woman has passed on to be with Jesus now for about a year or so. She was 64 years young. She would always play this song. I was born in the late '60's so I grew up with this song as well. 🐥 Baby Girl, I love you, miss you. And I'm so glad ☺️ you're no longer suffering on this 🌎 earth. I know when my time comes we'll see each other again. Till then 🙏 enjoy your Saviour and King , Jesus the Christ. Baby, what a lovely song and memories of us listening together, praising Him together as I listen to this song, thinking of you up there in Heaven and having myself a good cry too.

I was a young girl when this song was getting air play on the radio. My pre-Vatican II, very Catholic mother was scandalized as I clapped along. I was, and still am, very moved by this great cross-over Grammy-winning masterpiece, There's only one way to listen: volume up!

Just diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at an early age. I thought of this song when I was up all night. I'm still learning what I can and cannot do since I am exhausted, fatigued. The glory of God! He doesn't give us anything we can't handle. Everything happens for a reason. Thank you Lord for giving me the blessing of life! I love you Jesus!

It’s been three weeks since we suddenly lost our baby girl , 39 yrs old. We did play at her service and hopefully her precious babies 8, 9 and 14 feel peaceful about where momma is. Listen for strength many times a day, or nights you can’t sleep. Feel the JOY!!!

I'm 67 and Jewish. Even though I don't follow the teachings of Jesus, this song has moved me from the moment I heard it all those years ago. Very few songs send chills up and down my spine but this does it every time. There is something about this masterpiece that crosses religious boundaries and gets to the soul of a person. I never tire of this song or the uplifting spirit it instiills in me!
