Mahalia Jackson - Take My Hand, Precious Lord (Official Audio) 

Today is my birthday, I had no money, zero’s in my account, worked under the rain, borrowed money to eat and get back home, I almost cried a couple of times today, but I’m going to bed now, God sees me. I’ll stick with HIM

Martin Luther King apparently said as he was dying “precious Lord take my hand”, sister Mahalia sang this at his funeral. God blessed them both.

Race doesn't matter,this woman's voice speaks to all who believe.

Miss Jackson’s voice is so clear, pure, real and very personal. Miss her greatly.

My mother has Alzheimer’s disease and this song CALMS her down!!! She even sings the song, of course she cries, mom is 93 years old. I love this song as well.

God never left me god will never leave we us

It don't get no better than this. AMEN

Lord.. it makes me miss growing up in church.. hearing the motherboard singing like they were singing to God in the middle of service 🙏🏽🥹

Mahalia Jackson remains my 1st inspiration and role model as a gospel singer...l remember looking at a documentary of people climbing over walls to see her in concert. She blessed many worldwide. Been listening her music from my early teens...I'll be 55 in couple days God spare my life. I'm still listening it's now 2023. Continue to sleep in peace Ms. Jackson🙏❤👌🙌🌟🌹

On the 9th of August 2023, I bid farewell to my beloved grandmother, knowing that it was our final goodbye in this lifetime. She had been my guiding light, teaching me the art of prayer, the essence of kindness, and the profound meaning of ubuntu. Our connection was a treasure beyond words - a bond of love and understanding that knew no bounds. Her presence in my life was an invaluable gift, and as I let her go, I entrusted her into the hands of the divine. May the precious Lord gently hold her hand and guide her to her eternal home, where she rightfully belongs. In my heart, I carry the hope that her voice will echo in my memories, that her laughter will resound in the corners of my mind, and that her teachings will continue to shape me. As I embrace the days ahead without her physical presence, I find solace in the thought that her spirit will forever be with me. Rest in peace, dear grandmother, and know that your legacy of love and wisdom will forever light my path. Lala ngoxolo, Magalela Gasa.

My mother may she rest in peace used to say of Miss Jackson, " When she sang she was talking with the FATHER." I remember those everytime I hear her sing.

I SUNG THIS SONG AT MY MOTHER IN 1982 IT WAS A BLESSING IT BRING TEARS TO MY HEART. MS. BERKLEE STEWART

Good God Almighty 😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I was very blessed to have my grandmother in my life for such a short period of time , I was very young (5) years old and I don’t know what happened to me, because they said that she had died, because I was a very disturbed little boy , and because she was taken away from me, I realize it actually was a blessing for me, because I am better man than I could ever imagine and I thank whoever made me think that she was gone and forgotten for about 55 years and now I feel that I am very blessed, because I am my own man and I can stand on my own, and nothing will ever hurt my heart ever again.

This was Dr King’s favorite song 4/4 gone but never forgotten 😿

At the beginning of Mississippi Burning while the church was burning as this song was playing very sad and painful to watch.

Yes Lord ‼️

One almost forgets to breathe listening to this song, dare not move so as to not break the spell.

Whew chills everywhere!

Beautiful rendition

Glory Glory to God ❤

This was requested by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. just before he was killed. He loved this song.

Yes oh Precious Lord Take my hand for you are the One that can make the impossible very possible

Je crois que je suis le seul à commenter en français,, peut-être le seul francophone à adorer cette chanson, ce style 😂. 17 Mai 2024, Prend ma main, Précieux Seigneur.

Where he rests with all the saints and prophets of old.He was a giant among men too good for us.This song got him through the work of civil rights and justice for all .May it do the same for us.Rest in power forever MLK

My mother used to listen to this song. All day.. As a little girl. May, my mother rest in peace I never knew why, until I became an adult. God give my mother the peace she always wanted. Amen

Hallelujah!

This song is dedicated to my grandfather Rest In Peace

This was my mother’s song R.I.P Mrs Alma Seymour …Gone but never forgotten I love you mama

Help lord you never left me u

Magnificent, incomparable, soul-stirring 🙏🏽

Late to the realization, thank you all, those who glimpse at this and think nothing of it, soften thy heart and hear, this shall be my prayer for us....

The first time I heard Ms. Jackson's rendition of this song was when I saw the film Mississippi Burning (1988), and I fell in love with it! As I write this comment, this was the first time I listened to it in years, and my feeling for it has not diminished. She had one of the most beautiful voices in the world. May she rest in peace.

Гениально!!! Душа улетает в небеса!

Classic of All Times. Very Relevant these Days!;❤❤❤

They sing to GOD 4 EVER

This song is like a hug from all of my loved ones at once

What a lady and what an amazing song!

Heavenly will never leave you us come to him in pray he will never leave you us have faith in god he will and always been here there

I needed this song tonight it blessed me down in my sanctified soul

My grandma use to listen to her🙏

I love this song and I use to listen to this song when my grandmother would be cooking my breakfast and she would get very emotional and would cry and I will never forget those Sunday mornings.

I need a movie about this lady here, her voice is so wonderful. I'd definitely watch this.

God sent lady of god

Beautiful

May the Lord be exalted!

I love listening to Mahalia , love her x

Was brought up listening to her beautiful voice

Falei para os meus sobrinhos, que cantem essa maravilha no meu funeral. É lindo!!! Glória a Deus!!! Manaus - Amazonas

When she hits those high notes she sounds like my dear mom who died young☆♡☆♡

Yesindeed.

I want this song sang at my funeral, I love this song. I had both of her albums one time in the 90's I had ordered. I'm just saying.

I can witness to that I was not there but this was Dr King's favorite song plus keep your hand on the plow

I'll always remember this opening sequence in "Mississippi burning" (Alan Parker, 1988) ; the only true and heart-wrenching movie about KKK... you hear this song and you see a segregated drinking fountains (White/Coloured)...Awful...
