BOXCAR WILLIE AT PEACE IN THE VALLEY… An Ode to Hope

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9KvYdoUaec

“There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me”

AN APPROPRIATE ODE

Peace in the Valley may very well to Life itself and how beautiful the end may be.

BOXCAR WILLIE delivers this classic Gospel Great with such bluesy intensity through a narration that could give you goosebumps.

MAKING IT HIS OWN

Willie shares with you his wonderful story of Hope as if you were right beside him. Peace in the Valley shows a different facet of Boxcar… That side of Boxcar that is not just amusingly-witty or funny, but a Boxcar that is deep and sensitive… Someone who has so much faith and trust in the Lord Almighty and full of hope in the Great Beyond.

WELL, BOXCAR WILLIE HAD ALWAYS BEEN a stickler for Wit and Creativity. Having said so, his narrative is so colorful that he brings you right There… To the point—almost—of seeing God Himself!

LISTEN TO WILLIE’S VERSION of Peace in the Valley and you will find out exactly what I am talking about.

PEACE IN THE VALLEY

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I’ll…

 

AND ALWAYS…

“May the Lord God Almighty Bless Us All and Set Us FREE!”
