Mahalia’s Christmas Message

How Mahalia Jackson's Christmas Song Has Always Inspired Me - And Even More In the Christmas Season.

 

Mahalia’s Christmas  Message
 
she was inspiring on any day
her talent a birthright
power to move men’s souls
tender enough to share love
in mountainous quantities
 
she urged all to “go tell it
on the mountain, over the
hills - and everywhere”
“that Jesus Christ is born”
my soul is enlightened
 
as the Christmas season
approaches her recording
receives more frequent 
airings with her message 
hope springs eternal
 
join Mahalia as she boldly asks
us to join in and proclaim to
“go tell it on the mountain, 
over the hills and everywhere,
that Jesus Christ is born” 
 
give thanks to God almighty
that he gave us salvation
forgiveness of our sins
if we just believe in him, his
 son the Lord Jesus Christ
 
Amen

SO...OF COURSE, I WENT THERE JON AND WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL. THANKS FOR REMINDING ME, AS I THEN REMEMBERED THAT I HAVE 2 CD'S OF HER MUSIC AND HAVE NOT LISTENED TO THEM FOR A WHILE...BUT AM DOING SO NOW AS I WRITE THIS REVIEW. INDEED, I WAS MORE THAN BLESSED. AND, WHETHER ONE REALIZES OR NOT, MANY WRITERS ARE DOING JUST THAT AS THEY USE THE ABILITY THAT ALMIGHTY GOD HAS PLACED IN THEM TO 'SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS'. THANKS AGAIN. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Back in the day when microphones and amplifiers weren't very good, it took a strong voice to reach the audience. And no better place to get that practice than in the church choir.

You are right about Mahalia Jackson being a mountain of Power when it came to singing Go Tell It On The Mountain. A Christmas Carol that I sang many times in my youth and still remember most of the words.

Mahalia is one of my partner 's favorite singers to go to on YouTube in the evening before we go to bed.

A wonderful tribute to The KIng and his anointed messenger.
