    I respect the Lady very much. She came up through great tribulation.

    What a beautiful witness for Jesus this woman was. Her soul was in
    every word. Now she is home with God in Heaven and yet with her music she is still blessing people here.

    Wonderful!
    Cliff Barrows did something very wonderful after she sang. It is something we could use more of today. Billy Graham was about to preach. He put his finger to his lips to hush the applause.
    Church today is a concert - - a show. They took the pulpit down and even call the platform a "stage." They stick a garage band up there and douse the lights like a night club. People act accordingly.
    Mrs Waters was accustomed to applause. She had been a movie star! But when God saved her, He gave her a new heart... a heart that was only concerned with making God happy. She only wanted His applause.

    Ethel Waters was the first famous singer I heard when as a young child I attended the Billy Graham crusades in Boston Garden with my family. I immediately fell in love with her beautiful voice & delightful personality. 🤗

      I agree and have prayed fervently for a global revival less than 2days ago... Yes, the world is in quite a state.. But, when I read your comments here, as on other 'sites', I can't wait to one day meet you all, see you!
      What a day, indeed, that will be! Now I'm returning to: His eye is on the sparrow..
      Grow weary and go sleep - but *never* give up and turn away, we've come too far, and He, in whose sight and Hand we are, is faithful to the end (or shall I say: to the Beginning!?) 🌺✝️🌺
      Yes, HE IS!!

    I am thankful to see the legendary Ethel Waters debut performance of her classic rendition of “His Eye Is On The Sparrow,” with the Billy Graham Crusade In 1957. She was around 60 years old and around 300 lbs at the time. And nearly twenty years later in 1976 she was still singing the song at the Crusade, despite her many health problems. Thankfully that performance was also uploaded on CZcams. One of Americas greatest entertainers.

      Sounds like you've pulled a testimony together that most haven't thought of, to physically carry more weight, at that age, and still performing concerts, all together (health problems) shows her faithfulness to the Lord. Culturally it's easy to wince at someone's weight being stated because it lands in that quasi-privacy/health category...

    Why should I feel discouraged, Why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, And long for heav’n and home; When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is he; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me.
    Refrain: I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free; For his eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me.
    “Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear, And resting on his goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; Though by the path he leadeth, But one step I may see; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me. [Refrain]
    Whenever I am tempted, Whenever clouds arise; When songs give place to sighing, When hope within me dies, I draw the closer to him, From care he sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, And I know he watches me. [Refrain]
