George Beverly Shea "The Wonder of It All"

Happy 100th birthday Mr. Shea.

When was this taped?

I could listen all day to George Beverly Shea singing his wonderful hymns!

Happy 100th birthday, Bev Shea. From a neighbor of yours in Asheville who gloried in your voice and the hymn and anthems you sang during those Billy Graham Crusades I attended in the '50's and on your LPs, all of which I gave to my brother.Sometimes I wave your way when I drive through the stone gate at the entrance to the Town of Montreat And my wife and I have a friend who is a neighbor of yours, and who says you are just the dearest man. That doesn't surprise me a bit. God bless you!

I just checked and the book mentioned in this clip was released on March 23, 2004. That means that George was at least 95 years old when this clip was originally recorded. Absolutely amazing accomplishment to be able to sing at all at his age and to sing with such strength and conviction... Wow!

TEDDY!

I've always loved this and all the other Gospel Tunes this great Man has created with the help of his heavenly father and other brothers and sisters. God Bless you Mr. Shea

wow

Its amazing that he still sounded just as great with deep passion and stealth right up till his death this month. God blessed us with this man's voice

This hymn has brought back memories of the Billy Graham Crusade way back in the '50's and hearing Bev Shea singing with Cliff Barrows (Conducting) & Paul (I've forgotten his surname) who played on the keyboard and how thrilling it was to hear not only this hymn but many more and after Billy finished given the message it was the "Just as I am" hymn was the final one sang

Nada sei do inglês cantado. Mas, a melodia faz bem à alma e faz bem ao coração...

I worked on his fireplace in 1984. He was the kindest, simplest man I ever met.

Jesus shone brightly through our precious brother George Beverly Shea --- thankyou and praise to Jesus.

He was a great singer, my grandfather and Dr. Shea went too Moody Bible School at the same time, and my Mother sat on his lap at 5 yrs of age.

What age was he in this recording please?

I had the honor of meeting Rev. Shea in the 1970's. My twin brother, Boyd and I were doing crusades with Rev. Jim Wilson who was the son of T.W. Wilson, the vice president of The Billy Graham Assoc. We also did a crusade with Cliff Barrows in Atlanta. Until that crusade, I was not aware that Cliff was a preacher as well as a musician. It was such a blessing to work with Cliff and to see him in a different role than usual. Boyd and I performed our original music each night just before Cliff preached. During the 35 years we toured North America and parts of Europe and the Middle East we did crusades on occasion with different Evangelist associated with the Billy Graham Assoc. Our ministry was for the local church, colleges and universities, the US Army and many prisons and TV ministries. Sorry that I have gotten off on a tangent, Rev Shea was so kind to my twin and I. He encouraged us to stay pure and be in the word daily. Most importantly he prayed for God to be first in our ministry and to be guided by the Holy Spirit as to where our ministry would lead us. God answered his prayer. Even though we never did sign with the major Record labels, God opened the doors for us to be full time in our ministry for 35 years and to touch the lives of folks that would not normally go to the big auditoriums to hear contemporary Christian concerts. - FLOYD AMASON

I remember forming my relationship with the Lord back in 1953, when I was surrounded with music just like this... George Beverly Shea, and his connection with Billy Graham Crusades. The Wonder of it ALL. So very true!

The George Bev Shea comment previous here was by Phil - Shari not born yet. :)

What an inspiration.

My mother loved this man and always listened to his songs. Even though at that time I didn’t know the lord, but his songs sure got to me. Bless his soul.

This is a true gospel singer who lived what he sings!

The wonder indeed.

Wonderful

The wonder of it all............miss this dear man and his singing.

Your with Christ right now!!

Beautifull and wonderfull hymn!

Amazing
