Each time I listen to this song it brings tears to my eyes, 😢 JD. Sang it with such passion and conviction, as if he knew he would be going home shortly after.
This is a song sung by a Man who knows he is about to come to the end of life's journey. You can tell he was singing the choruses with great resolve but still strong enough to drop some serious bass notes at the end of his lines. He is celebrating the fact that despite the times that he failed God, as we all have, God never left us. He is still with us despite our faithlessness, and he is faithful. It is a celebration of a life of God's faithfulness. RIP JD.
Thank you for your kind words ! I knew J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet all my life . My late father was a music producer and promotor and it was a Blessing to hanng out with J.D. , He had such a hunger for souls to come to Jesus ! He was quit the joker and made us life , But say something about winning souls to Christ , It would bring him to tears !
I'm 22 but I really love these old songs. It's just pointing towards the Lord. I just wish I could have been in those times but I'm blessed to have these in RU-vid.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Sumner when I was a wee lad in Buffalo NY. My parents purchased an autobiography and I asked him to sign it for me. He said sure "Palzy Walzy" It is now 45 years later and I still have that book. Most of all, I have the memory of this amazing man and his wonderful voice, that I will carry with me until our dear Lord calls me home. What a wonderful memory.
I knew j.d For many years. We sang togather many times,but not always on the stage, we shared many wonderfull hours promoting gospel concerts and started the Southern gospel association in the early 70s. We golfed often with many gospel music greats and jd was my parter because he knew l had a high handicap. I miss him and know that God still lives in this old house. a foursome wlt
If you knew this man's history, you would admire his voice and That Song a whole lot more. If you knew my history, you'd know why This Song will be played at my funeral...Thank you, Father.Bless you J D.
My Dad met JD Sumner in WWII. Tonight I couldn’t sleep and I was listening to this and it seemed JD was bringing back my Dad for me to talk to. I have been ill and asked my Dad to ask Jesus to heal me. I believe JD is in heaven with my 6:25 love you Daddy and thank you for raising me to know, love and believe in Jesus! Thank you JD for all your years of singing songs my Daddy raised me in!
My Grand Mother took me to see him at the Stadium in Kentucky in 1975 Murry State, It was a Very GreatDay for me Because I knew then I wanted to sing just like him, Problem was I was young and Had a Tenor voice at the time, I lead singing at the Church of Christ in Riverdale Ga, for a few years, and As I got older I worked to Sing like JD Sumner. it was all I wanted to do. I am 61 now Have been singing all my life and Have not reached that Place, But God Has said raise your Voice unto me and I will hear you, I pray he has heard me. The Lord Still lives in this Old House. AMEN
These lyrics caught my heart. " Now there've been times he had the right just to up and move away And there have been days and night it took God's amazing grace to stay But he never left this old building once, which is why I can sing and shout, That after all these years the Lord still lives in this old house."
I've known J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet all my life . What you have just seen is what J.D. was really like when he was talking about the Lord ! When we had concerts , J.D. was a lot like Elvis . Alway's joking or making people laugh . But he could alway's become vary serious when it came to talking about Jesus .
He's been there in our longest, toughest battles. When we become so contankerous because of the weariness of the battles, HE'S STILL SWEET AND READY TO BE OUR PEACE. STILL READY TO BE OUR SANCTIFIER. HE KNOWS, HE KNOWS.
Mesmo sem entender o indioma q está sendo cantado sinto no meu coração um louvor sincero e amável chego a me emocionar ao ouvir esse lindo louvor gloria a Deus
eu fiz uma tradução ta mais ou menos,mas da pra entender kkkkk, a música de fato é inspirada Se este tabernáculo terrestre for dissolvido hoje Troco por um mais fino, um que não passara. Mas até chegar o dia em que é hora de ir, ainda é uma doce paz saber que o Senhor ainda vive nesta velha casa. O companheirismo mais doce que já conheci fortificou estas paredes E a paz reinou desde que ele foi andando para cima e para baixo nestes corredores. agora há neve no telhado e essas dobradiças já estão gastas,mas É uma alegria saber que o Senhor ainda vive nesta velha casa. Para ele tem sido uma morada onde ele manteve minha mão na dele Para mim uma casa longe de casa é tudo o que realmente é. Com certeza não é bom e chique e tudo que eu posso me gabar É depois de todos esses anos o Senhor ainda vive nesta velha casa. Agora havia momentos em que ele tinha o direito de se afastar, se levantar e ir embora E houve momentos e dias que eu sabia que foi necessária a incrível graça de Deus para ele ficar. Mas ele nunca deixou este velho prédio é por isso que eu posso cantar e gritar Porque depois de todos esses anos o senhor ainda mora nesta velha casa. Para ele tem sido uma morada onde ele manteve minha mão na dele Para mim, um lar longe de casa, é tudo o que realmente é. E com certeza não é bom e chique e tudo o que eu posso me gabar É depois de todos os anos o Senhor ainda vive nesta velha casa. Depois de todos esses anos, o Senhor... Ainda vive nesta velha casa.
Yes there's many times it's took God's grace to stay in this ole house ! Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins ! I believe in you Jesus ! John 3:16

O my goodness! What a sweet thing that JD just sung ! Makes tears in my eyes and my heartbeat going g! Thanks for all we are able to see this great things!
Let's follow with the lyrics: The Lord Still Lives In This Old House If this earthly tabernacle Whould be dissolved today, I'd trade it for a finer one that would not pass away. But 'til the day arrives when it's time for moving out, It's such sweet peace to know the Lord still lives in this old house. The sweetest fellowship I've known has fortified these walls. And peace has reigned since He's been walkin' up and down these halls. With snow upon the rooftop now and these hinges near worn out, It's such a joy to know the Lord still lives in this old house. To Him it's been a dwelling place where He kept my hand in His. To me a home away from Home is all that it really is. It sure ain't fine or fancy, and all I can boast about Is after all these years, the Lord still lives in this old house. There were times and He had the right to up and move away. And there were times and days I know it took God, His amazing Grace to stay. But He never left this old building once, that's why I can sing and shout! It's such sweet peace to know the Lord still lives in this old house. To Him it's been a dwelling place where He kept my hand in His. To me a home away from Home is all that it really is. It sure ain't fine or fancy, and all I can boast about Is after all these years, the Lord still lives in this old house. 'Cause after all these years the Lord still lives in this old house.
This song was written by Bill Burns, author of the song "That's Him," recorded by the Hoppers. Bill penned God Still Lives in This Old House as a retrospective sequitur to the Cathedral's classic, This Old House, featuring George Younce.

Wow, thank you Jesus Christ, for your Grace to stay and still live in this Old house. I know I certainly didn't deserve it so many times, but Thank You Jesus Christ.
My great Uncle Nick had a deep voice like that when he talked. his son Nick is with him this New Year and I am remembering both of them fondly for kindness, graciousness, affection, and generosity ever holiday when we were welcomed in their large farmhouse with the two garages and what we called the elephant's graveyard, a pit full of old car parts. God still lives in this old house where tremors are giving me adventures and other things need care. Thanks for helping me to remember Uncle Nick. See you later.
I remember J.D. and so many faces on this video have been called home THEY all were such a blessing with each beautiful voice GOSPEL music will never be the same great song I have never heard
Hallelujah. It's truly such sweet peace to know the Lord still lives in this house as he has for the past nine years. I've not been a perfect Christian but I'm glad I'm not what I used to be. Rest in peace brother Sumner. I hope to see you and sing with you in heaven one day soon. Love one of your biggest fans. Elder Muncy
Nobody is hun, nobody. We weren't meant to be or we wouldn't need Jesus. We are a work in progress!! Through his grace and strength. ONE DAY AT A TIME💞
I was never really into gospel music, especially the ones sang in my country (Brazil) as for some reason I find them extremely irritating. But this? THIS is good, this is pleasant and I could listen to this for a long time. Good music, superb voice and the video background just adds to the harmony. Beautiful.
This song have me in tears I can feel the connection when he's singing this song. Heaven bless his soul and we will meet up there where there will be singing non stop unto the king of kings
