This is why the World will not pick this precious soul up. Thank God this young man is not ashamed of his Creator. Keep singing for Jesus son and never sell out to Satan. No matter what he offers you.

What the hell is wrong with the Country Music industry? Having such a fantastic voice and talent as this Ben and no damn recognition from mainstream radio. You my friend are awesome and your talents amazing. Where the Hell is Bobby Bones and why doesn't he have you on his show already! Like your father Ben you could single handedly save traditional country music in a time when it's fighting to be heard. Please do not stop performing and sharing you gifts to the world!

Because you are giving God the glory, Your future is yours to choose. Thank you for this song.

The fate of traditional country music is in your hands. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive.

I have been a Merle Haggard fan since the age of 11 years old. And now, I'm one of your greatest fan. Your Dad may be gone to be with Jesus, but his talent and his music lives on in you. Thank You Ben Haggard for this song . You have a very good voice. May God Bless You

You're going to be the next king of country music, Wish you the best on you're journey. Don't fall in to the new country music.

I've been in and out of the music business for 25 years. Lived in Nashville and saw a ton of singers come and go. However, Ben has the best voice I've ever heard! I could listen to him all day. I wish this young man lots of success and happiness in the future. Ben please stay true to your roots and don't sell your soul to satan for fame and fortune like some many others before you. God bless you son and keep up the good work!

Ben Haggard will you ever be near Indiana. So talented love your gospel music. Stay true to your roots. Don't sell your soul out and get in trouble. Be a good husband & father. Been listening to your dad since the 70's

Love his voice... he can sign anything and inspire great emotion. What new performer can come close to this authenticity?

You are amazing, closing my eyes, I hear your dad. You have mastered it. Your vocals are incredible. Waiting for some albums from you! Thank you for respecting the music of the greatest country singer, Mr. Merle!

I speak as a woman who enjoys a varied array of music, but I must address how much I like Ben's voice and singing. Without a doubt at all, his music will not only compare to his father's Merle Haggard, but his music will stand alone. His deep voice is wonderful and even sensual.

No words to express my appreciation for the amazing talent of this young man. I used to listen to Merle's version of this in the early 80's. Now I don't know which version I like better. Sensational! Please don't stop posting.

Ben you're Amazing man. awesome voice. need to go big time and be played on country radio to help keep country at its roots unlike the garbage played today they try to label country. you got my support. I'd buy your albums and tickets to concerts brother. Be a mainstream solo artist act. You've got this man.

This is so much more than just being the son of a legend....because there are many “artists” we know who are the sons of their fathers.....and who have made it in the music business....and not to demean any of them....but THEY HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN THIS GIFT. He sounds like his father, but also has his OWN GOD GIVEN GIFT. Moments where you are lost and forget you aren’t listening to Merle.....but open your eyes and then realize, “But yes, yes I am.” And then your own heart bursts with so much pride and love, as if he’s your own son, (ONLY A MAMA COULD TRY TO UNDERSTAND what I mean). A LEGEND HAS BEEN BORN AGAIN. AND THE GOOD TIMES REALLY AREN’T OVER FOR GOOD. And we are forever grateful! 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻

Don't let them ruin something so special! Keep giving us these songs & don't change a thing! You are your Daddy's son with your own unique style & beautiful voice...you will keep him living in our hearts forever! Welcome to my world Ben Haggard! Please keep the songs coming!!!

Ben Haggard has the best country voice, and his guitar playing is incredible!

Hands down, thee clearest and widest range of vocals out there. Ben's voice has heart and raw emontion in it. There are great singer's out there. But only a few can rank up there with say Keith Whitley....Ben Haggard has that ability. This is all just my personal opinion. Beautifully done sir!

wow, tears of joy. Ben should be a country sensation just like ol Hag. He definitely is blessed with Hag's genes. Ben has an amazing voice and his guitar playing is beautiful. I miss ol Hag.

Ben is as awesome as his Dad in his own way. What a voice. Love him

This is beautiful, Ben! I might be shedding a few tears. My husband grew up with all of the old classic country music artists and he and his father adored your daddy. Through my husband's love of country music, I have become a big country fan as well! You have done your daddy proud, yet have developed your own style with a sound that is often difficult to deny is influenced by Merle Haggard! Looking forward to hearing much more from you! ♥

This is a blessing to her this young man pour out his heart as he allows God to use his talent to minister to us as he’s playing this old hymnal. Thanks Mr Ben Haggard, may the Lord bless you and your family.

im 22, mostly a fan of the great outlaws of country.. merle, waylon, willie, hank, and you blew me away bro! way better than all of the country on the radio today.

Awesome voice. I am not yet 30 years old and feel that this type of voice can be successful with the younger generation. Country music needs some real country singers again.

This young man sure does his Daddy proud! I wish he’d be recognized and played more on the Country stations! Met he and brother Noel last summer and they are both very sweet, gracious, and talented!

Please make a record- of anything- and I will buy it. You have such a great and classic, crisp sound that soothes the soul. Bravo.

Awesome... Gives me hope for country music. Most talented new singer I've heard in years.. Don't give up, you will be a star..

Pure Beauty , thanks for keeping up the real country music.

Love you Ben my husband and I listen to you all the time. A bright light in a time where good country music is hard to come by. Keep up the tradition of truly good country music.

Being a Hag fan since the 1970's (as a kid), when I hear you sing, I catch myself holding my breath. Your voice is a golden memory in a fresh package. God bless you Ben.

My dad would've loved this version. Thank you Ben! Thank you Lord that when we are found in You we are never alone.

Amazing. Utterly amazing. The simplicity of just the guitar with your powerful vocal gift is almost overwhelming! I've been listening to your daddy's music (and playing it...on the radio as a DJ and on stage with a band) for 40+ years and there is no doubt his blood is running strong through your veins - and through your voice. You have an incredible gift and I can't wait to see where you go with it. Don't ever let anyone - ANYONE - try to change what or who you are or try and change you musically. You are 1 million percent right on track (music industry be damned if they try to change you!!) I'm a HUGE fan already!!

Ben you are blessed with a voice on an angel, please continue to share with the public..make country music great again!

Country music in its purest form. I was raised on Faron Young, Hank Snow, Marty Robbins, Ernest Tubb. This is how Country should be. Merle would be so proud! Can't wait to go to heaven see my Mum and take her to a Merle Haggard concert! 😊

completely amazing, he made me cry, I have listen to Merle since I was a little girl, I've sang his songs , raised my kids up on his music, when he lefted this world we all cried for days, to hear Ben made me so happy to know that his legend lives on !!!!!!!!!!

Country music needs you right now Ben. Go an revolutionize it like your dad did! You sound just like him.

On the album called Will the Circle Be Unbroken Vol. 2, track 9, Emmylou Harris said, "We've lost the living room. The living room has gone out of the music, but today I feel like we got it back." Your recordings make me feel like the living room has come back to country music.

I got the honor of shaking Ben and Noel's hand at a Kris Kristofferson and The Strangers concert last night in Boise Idaho. Also got lucky and got a pic of Ben and I!! Thank you Ben!! You are the man!! I hope to see you in concert again.

Ben has a nice voice. I enjoy his singing, especially this great hymn. Like his dad he has that voice to sing. He sounds so much like his dad. Keep up the good work Ben.

I never thought I would say this to anyone Ben but you are just a good as your father. Great song too! God's blessings upon you and yours!

We lost Merle, but just look what he left us. Awesome,you got it dude,thanks

Absolutely phenomenal Ben. It amazes me how much I hear your father in you but you still have your own sound woven into it. You have a huge future and I'm looking forward to seeing it explode.

Very nice Ben. I like the style you're coming into. There's no denying that you've got a lot of Merle's low notes and phrasing but your style comes through overall. Great stuff! I loved Merle's recording of this song but he was 20 years older than you when he did it. Your voice is definitely reminiscent of your dad's late 60's early 70's work.

Beautiful, Ben! And it's evident it's sung from your heart. Praise God! I have this hymn in my hymn journal and sing it to the Lord at times. I have noted by the title that the version I like best is sung by Merle Haggard. He's the one I have always listened to sing this song. Now I'll be adding you as well. Thanks, Ben. Tammy

Wow this is awesome - love your voice Ben. No doubt your Dad can be so proud of you. Please don't change your style of singing.

What a magnificent voice. Why is this guy not all over the country radio?

I grew up listening to and playing your daddy's songs for as long as I can remember. He was my favorite of all country music and I love him dearly. But I have to say Ben in my opinion you, and your dad are equal when comes to music! You have a life long friend in me and hopefully I can meet you someday while you are out touring. You have a voice that hell can't hold and are by far the best out of everyone in your league. You keep playin' and we'll keep listening!!! Best Wishes to you and I wish you all the success you deserve! from Mark Elsberry.

Holy Crap Ben. What an amazing gift from our God that you have. Wow. You melt the very soul inside me. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

Great song and very well done. Thank you son, you’ve made an older woman Very happy. Love hearing you.

Wow Ben-----What a gift from the Lord and Your Daddy....O Please be careful and keep on doing these kind of songs.......A fan of yours....I am a piano player and a singer that loves a good ole Hag song. tks for doing this gospel sing....George

wow sitting here 4 am in tampa...huge hag fan and have heard ben a handful of times on other vids...and this one here set it in stone ben ....he is every bit as good as merle...that super rich voice ..the vibrato...the tone the control...man its merle all over again but even better...(wait is that possible) ?. lol...keep the flavor alive ben!!! forever a fan here of yours as i have been and always will be of your dad!!!...and ben you could be the one to bring it all back brother!!!...bring that real deal country music back to the radio for us!!...make papa proud son hehe ...;-) :-)

I've listened to your dad sing for almost 50 years; and you, young man, have somehow recieved his soul.

Wow awesome sound and song. You gave me cold chill's. You have done an amazing job on this tune. Keep doing this kind of music. Look what happened for Randy Travis. After his hits started falling off in the country music. He had a major hit in the Gospel music with the three wooden crosses. I truly hope you and your brother's make it. And get the recording contract's you deserve. I know you have your dad's name. But all of you have a blessed and great talent. I wish you all the luck and God's Speed getting those recording deals.

This is my favorite song that your dad sang. It is very special to me. You are great. Thanks Bub.

Wow! Why can't guys like this exist in my life? Looks and a voice! Wow!!!!

What a great natural talent, Ben!!! Great song........your Daddy's son, for sure!!!

Ben has sensual quality in his voice along with harmonics that his father had, great job Ben.

Your Dad's songs from his early years are what made me turn to country music. You sound a lot like him but bring your own soul too the music.

Finally!! Real country music!

Love Love Love !!!!!! God Bless you Bennie - your music blesses me

Amazing song and incredible voice God bless from west Texas.

I'm going through the hardest time in my life right now, @Ben Haggard you have no idea what this means to me. I met your father 6 months bv before he passed and it had the most profound impact on my life. Please continue to inspire and encourage others as you have me. God bless!

Was playing some of Merles old tunes and found this. It made my day! Lot of thanks and greetings from Sweden.
