I was listening to this song when I was on my knees, crying for my mom’s health. I was devastated because she has cancer and wasn’t doing well at all. God talked to me through this praise, and when I opened the Bible, it was Psalms 27. God confirmed that we should just wait on Him. We still need a miracle, but now we have faith and praise while we wait! My mom is a woman who follows our Lord’s words, and I ask you to pray for her health as well. Her name is Maria Juracy and she has a serious Lymphoma.
This group here makes you feels the presence of Holy Ghost. They are elderly but there is something special about them. I bless the day I bumped into their videos on RU-vid. I never tire listening to them sing.
Oh I thank God Almighty,for Billy Graham,I was 13 yrs of age,went to one of his crusades with my mama & her friend,and I was the 1st one to get out of my seat,mom followed as well as her friend.we accepted Christ Jesus as our savior .then my dad and brother and his wife as well accepted the Lord as their savior.,and served him faithfully all the days of their lives.today i am a pastor of a church God Almighty bless s growing.i am 75 plus yrs young,a woman preacher...yea, God is so so good.he Alone knows the plans he has for each of us.who would have thought I would become a preacher.surely I never thought so.
I used to play this DVD with my kids over and over when they were little. My middle son was very premature, and he absolutely loved this song. To this day, he still remembers it. This will always bless my soul! I still listen to it over and over.
Only a Look Only a look at Jesus If your bowed down with care Jesus promised to defend you and He'll all, our burdens share Chorus: Only a look, Only a look Turns me away from sin Just one look will bring salvation Eternal life to win Only a look at King Jesus He's so merciful, He's so merciful and He's true It doesn't matter what your facing Through every storm Through every, every, every trial He said he won't leave He said he will guide you safely through Yes he will Chorus: Only a look, Only a look Turns me away from sin Just one look will bring salvation Eternal life to win Just one look will bring salvation Eternal life to win
I remember my mother singing this early in the morning hours. She was a choir director and many a day we would awaken to her playing the piano and singing and at night she and my brother would play together, he on the organ and she on the piano. No other music can penetrate the spirit and soul like gospel music can.
Thank you for sharing about your Mother and brother! My Mother is 94 years and worships by playing and singing in her home and playing her piano. Love it! Sometimes, she calls people and sings and plays the piano, as the spirit leads her. We are blessed!
The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy. The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below. That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal. GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.
DELIVER ME OH LORD JESUS MY REDEEMER FROM THE EVIL ONE AND FROM THE EVIL OF THIS WORLD! AND MAKE ME TO BE A LIGHT IN THIS CRUEL DARK WORLD SO THAT OTHERS MAY SEE YOUR LOVE THROUGH ME, I THANK THEE FATHER GOD THAT THOU HAS HEARD ME!
I can't get over this song good people and I cried when I realised that most of singers of this group has passed on already as I just know about this group three years back
I don't get enough of this song I constantly Cry... and think about God's unconditional Grace and Mercy that he's shown me through out these extremely tough years I've experienced... but through his strength I've maintained to stand up constantly... Amen thank you Lord
6 October 2022, Only a look into Jesus soothes my soul, this song fills my entire body with Love for Jesus, I've never felt like wanting to cry out so loudly. Thankful Lord. What a beautiful look.
God bless you Gaither family! I hope you have a least idea what this song does to the human soul! Mama Lillie, always low lying having no idea how powerful her gifted voice lifts cast down soul up! 💝
Isn't Jesus most beautiful and to be desired; the Only Way to the Father. Love the songs, they touch the heart like a sermon. It's a sword severing spirit and soul, bone and narrow. All Glorious is Jesus the Overcomer!
This version of Just One Look At The Savior contains a verse that was omitted from the video of this Homecoming whicj was released. The concept of Jesus as my STRONG DEFENDER is one that I carried. I needed to be encouraged not to fight back when others abused or mistreated me but to let the Lord defend me when I was mistreated or abused.
Myself counted. I am blessed by the grace of God to share this experience of hope, joy and happiness with the world. The song words and annoiting from the voice says much about God's gift and awesomeness. God bless you mama.
wow first time i heard this song and love it. i love all at Gaithers with us and heaven. Lillie wow beautiful. with way our world is, we can never get too much praise and worship and focus his word. we need Jesus every hour every minute everyday. even the strongest of ppl needs him. God bless and keep all reading this. stay safe and well xxx
I listen to her over and over. I would love to hear more of dear Gloria. She is most uplifting and Bill, a solo with you playing the piano would be a great gift.
In loving memory of the late Roberta Martin and the Roberta Martin singers. That group would open up their live performances with this hymn and did so for over 30 years.
Voncielle King and I wrote Only A Look. The song was written in French. It was written for the funeral of Voncielle's brother Jackie King Sr. The song was written on Good Friday of 1990.
I have been listening to the song the whole day today. I am full of peace of mind, just to be reminded of His promises and His unconditional love. I am just out of words of expression. To God be the Glory!!!
THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR DELIVERANCE WORKING POWER AND THAT YOU ARE MY DEFENCE AND MY REFUGE AND MY SALVATION AND MY SAVIOUR AND LORD FOREVERMORE, THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR EVERLASTING MERCY AND LOVE AND GRACE UPON ME FOREVERMORE!
Eu Amoooooooooooo, muito este hino, é lindo, sou aqui do Brasil, meus filhos moram nos EUA, Nova Gersy, todos os irmãos da d Famyli, The Gheiter, isso, Marisa de Joinville SC
