Sunday Morning Mountain Gospel Music 200

A Voice From on High sung by Bill Monroe





I hear a voice callin'
It must be our Lord
It's comin' from Heaven on high

I hear a voice callin'
I've gained a reward
For the land where we never shall die

The Savior has paid a great price for me
He gave His life on Calvary
So I'll follow His footsteps up the narrow way
And be ready to meet Him when He calls on that day

I hear a voice callin'
It must be our Lord
It's comin' from Heaven on high

I hear a voice callin'
I've gained a reward
For the land where we never shall die

He died on the cross, the old rugged cross
That we would be saved from sin and not lost
So I'll follow His footsteps up the narrow way
And we'll pay our debts on that great judgment day

I hear a voice callin'
It must be our Lord
It's comin' from Heaven on high

I hear a voice callin'
I've gained a reward
For the land where we never shall die

Wicked Path Of Sin
Sung by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys


 
Wicked Path Of Sin
 
In this awful world of sorrow
In this wicked path of sin
Never thinking of tomorrow
Or what I'd lose in the end

Oh I can hear (oh I can hear) the joy bells ringing
Where my friends (where my friends) and loved ones wait
Oh I can hear the angels singing
Just inside (just inside) the pearly gates

I can hear my savior calling
Saying come unto me
Wash away your sins forever
We'll meet in heaven some sweet day

Oh I can hear (oh I can hear) the joy bells ringing
Where my friends (where my friends) and loved ones wait
Oh I can hear the angels singing
Just inside (just inside) those pearly gates

Now I'm safe with my Jesus
He will guide me on my way
I will sing His praise forever
We'll meet in heaven some sweet day

Oh I can hear (oh I can hear) the joy bells ringing
Where my friends (where my friends) and loved ones wait
Oh I can hear the angels singing
Just inside (just inside) the pearly gates

High Lonesome: The Story of Bluegrass Music

That’s Jimmy Martin playing his guitar in the hills of Hancock County, East Tennessee as a young man......

I first saw this music documentary in 1995. It’s a wonderful history of Bluegrass music aka 'Old Time Mountain Style Music', plus some history of Appalachia.

A must-see video for Bluegrass fans, as well as a mandatory ‘Bluegrass primer’ for those who are just becoming interested in the uniquely American roots of country music.
 
Bluegrass as a musical form was derived from a combination of African and Scots-Irish traditions. The video explores these origins and provides an engaging and fascinating look at a musical evolution, featuring over 100 songs and bluegrass legends like Bill Monroe, that Stanley Brothers, Mac Wiseman, Jimmy Martin, Flatt & Scruggs and others.

Movie is about 90 minutes long. I hope you enjoy it. Both educational and entertaining........
