In faith and glory, Conway Twitty seeks reassurance and praises God’s grace in the song “Clinging to a Saving Hand.” Connie Smith first recorded the song on December 21, 1970, whereas Twitty’s record was released on November 5, 1973. His version of the song was the lead single to the album Clinging To A Saving Hand Steal Away under MCA Records. 

The double album is a testament to Twitty’s versatility and soulful roots for featuring both gospel and country tracks. The singer’s twangy and passionate singing in “Clinging to a Saving Hand” gives enough encouragement to believe in the Lord’s powerful presence through His shepherd’s lens. His vocals amplify the message of the gospel song, making it an enduring melody for ages.

This is proof enough that the richness of his tremulous baritone makes it one of Conway Twitty’s underrated tunes

Meaning of the Song

Conway Twitty’s “Clinging to a Saving Hand” elicits his ability to connect with listeners deeper in an emotional yet powerful delivery. Holding onto hope, the song captures the undying faith of a man who seeks God’s aid. The significance of his faith lives until his death. 

Spiritual guidance is necessary for a smooth transition to life. Thus, the singer begs to be sung “rock of ages” and “eternity so sweet” to awaken his savior’s feet. He believes that the stories of Paul, Matthew, and Jesus’ birth, trials, and tribulations would strengthen his faith in living an eternal life after death. 

The mellow, twangy guitar intro complemented Twitty’s powerful voice. Adding a gospel choir to the mix further stirred up an uplifting atmosphere. 

Life is transient and so is this song, so make the most of your time and listen to “Clinging to a Saving Hand” by Conway Twitty.
