Skaggs, Ricky - Where The Soul Of Man Never Dies Lyrics






To Canaan's land, I'm on my way,
Where the soul of man never dies.
My darkest night will turn to day,
Where the soul of man never dies.

No sad farewells. (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells.)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love, (Where all is peace and joy and love.)
And the soul never dies. (And the soul of man never dies.)

The rose is blooming there for me,
Where the soul of man never dies.
And I will spend eternity,
Where the soul of man never dies.

No sad farewells. (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells.)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love, (Where all is peace and joy and love.)
And the soul never dies. (And the soul of man never dies.)

The love light beams across the foam,
Where the soul of man never dies.
It shines and lights the way to home,
Where the soul of man never dies.

No sad farewells. (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells.)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love, (Where all is peace and joy and love.)
And the soul never dies. (And the soul of man never dies.)

No sad farewells. (Dear friends there'll be no sad farewells.)
No tear dimmed eyes (There'll be no tear dimmed eyes.)
Where all is love, (Where all is peace and joy and love.)
And the soul never dies. (And the soul of man never dies.)...

    Mr Skaggs I heard a song years go and it touch my heart.It was about this man who in a dream was in heaven and his friend was on his way to hell.His friend said you knew of Jesus and never did say anything now his friend will be in the lake of fire.Then he woke up and realized it was a dream.Once he woke up he went to tell him friend about Jesus. I would love it if you post. God Bless you

  24. T.... ....

    Can’t get much better than that!

  25. D.... 6....

    What a Blue grass Gospel duo - listen to this repeatedly.   The musicianship is perfectly suited - I cannot imagine anyone else getting near this.  Thanks so much for sharing

  26. M.... P....

    Both master musicians!

  27. C.... H....

    Love his music !!!

  28. D.... D....

    Impeccable music-making.

  29. p.... ....

    Tony is the most efficient guitar player I have ever seen. His hands hardly move from the guitar as he changes frets, and the right hand hardly goes above or below the strings as he picks. It's hard to believe he plays as many notes as he does, when the hands hardly move. I would have to get cable and tie my arms and hands down to the guitar if I played that fast. They'd be flying all up above my head and round behind me and everstuff.

    p.... ....

    pdufusc he's master pick guitar

    p.... ....

    Yes he barely moves his pic and when he does it's on a different note he just really good

  30. P.... H....

    Naprostá fantazie !!   Petr HANUŠ

  31. T.... M....

    Top notch!

  32. E.... H....

    I'm fully convinced that Tony stores all of his excess soul in his hair, and that's why he kept it long...

  33. j.... h....

    Masterful

  34. S.... Q....

    too few people this full of soul. Get well! let that old martin spreak its soul to the people. tony is awesome.!

    D.... L....

    +Darlinda Lowe Ricky was first made famous by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs as a very young lad about 7 i think if memory serves me right.

    D.... L....

    Yup. BG Boys were playing at a school. All the locals kept calling for "Little Ricky Skaggs." Bill Monroe finally asked, "Well were is this Little Ricky Skaggs?"

    D.... L....

    Darlinda Lowe Look up a video of JD Crowe and New South from about 1975 you'll see Tony Rice, Ricky Scaggs and Jerry Douglas playing with him.

  49. 6.... ....

    They`ve played together plenty of times...great as always!

  59. D.... I....

  60. B.... F....

    " Amen" Oh how I need prayers tonight.!

    B.... F....

    Papa figer

  61. B.... H....

    Here is our song I am finally getting into my "Doing as little as possible " for real mode... I love and miss you !!!

  62. W.... D....

    There's always one, isn't there?

    W.... D....

    Looks to me like there is 56 ones been here without a clue. Write em off folks!!

  63. J.... P....

    Beautifully done.

  64. J.... W....

    What a great bluegrass sound! Pity about the lie they're singing!!
    Ezekiel 18:4; Ezekiel 18:20

    J.... W....

    @John Wallace Oh its a greek idea. Well I guess I could rally behind living in Hades. Pick whatever fiction you like.

    J.... W....

    You believe ever thing you read in a book?

    J.... W....

    Your interpretation of those verses is faulty. The soul is dead spiritually if it doesn't turn to God. That's what those verses are referring to. Eternal life where the soul never dies is a reality. It's either in heaven or hell. The resurrection of Jesus attest to this fact. Read Acts 2:31-32. Jesus' soul has been to both places. 

    J.... W....

    2 Corinthians 4

    J.... W....

    @John Wallace You are incredibly ignorant. This song is talking about heaven, and is written from a Christian perspective. Assuming it is a faithful Christian singing the song, there is absolutely no lie, because their soul will never die (check out John 11:26). The soul will die if you are living in sin, but they are talking about heaven, where there are no sinners. Therefore no soul is lost in heaven, so it is "where the soul never dies". Before you go onto a video and attempt to make theological statements you clearly know nothing about, I would suggest you open up your Bible and do some studying. It would benefit you.

  65. J.... G....

    These old Stanley Bros.tunes are the best.

  66. A.... W....

    Four voices! Excellent!

  67. u.... m....

    ricky and tony should have done more together

  68. B.... H....

    Fear not those who can only kill the body but rather the one who can cast body and soul into eternal hell fire....... !!! I love you baby!!!

  69. J.... L....

    rickey and tony started out together, use to be called scaggs and rice, tony is very sick and can no longer play or sing. so sad.

    J.... L....

    Actually I believe they both had success at bluegrass festivals separately before recording the album Skaggs & Rice. I think t was the only one they recorded together.

    J.... L....

    Look up Boone Creek on here lemme know what ya find out SCHNAUZER!!

  70. L.... F....

    Now this is a true hymn.  I love hearing it over and over.

  71. C.... S....

    Came here from the shaytards, lovely song ;)

  72. t.... ....

    Here because of Shaytards

  73. A.... D....

    shhaayyytaaardsss

    A.... D....

    Im now addicted to this song and the cowboy sweetheart because of momytard :p singing it

    A.... D....

    @Reihane Hashiz
    Me too!! haha

  74. J.... T....

    Excellent!

  75. t.... ....

    True talent needs very little instrumentation! Tony and Ricky are musical soul mates

  76. r.... ....

    Beautiful

  77. T.... ....

    Happy holidays everyone!

  78. G.... D....

    This is a Beautiful Song , Ricky Skaggs is a Very Gifted Guitar Player , too many have forgotten him but he's on my List of Greatest Guirarists .

    G.... D....

    Guitar Dave that's tony rice on the guitar..he's a master flat picker

    G.... D....

    Tony Rice is aalso a very gifted guitarist, worth checking put.

    G.... D....

    guitar Dave knows this, he just put the coma in the wrong place. " Ricky Skaggs is a Very Gifted Guitar Player too,". which implyies that Tony is gifted and so is Ricky.

    G.... D....

    Tony Rice is the greatest flat picker ever born.

  79. S.... ....

    The wonderful thing about the music community is that the songs keep us together, no matter our ages or conditions.  Believe me, as you get older, you are more willing to render praise to your fellows, wrinkles warts and all.

  80. P.... B....

    He has the right to say it for two reasons. The first is because he is free to say what he wants. The 2nd is because it is the truth.

  81. P.... B....

    The Lord did not "take" his voice. It hacks me off when I read this. The Lord gave us all FREE WILL. Tony chose to drink to much, smoke to much, and snort to much. HE TOOL HIS OWN VOICE. This is not being mean, its being honest.

    P.... B....

    Tony admits it too .
    It is a sad thing , at least let it be a warning to others .

  82. j.... d....

    grow up and face reality.

  83. j.... d....

    speak for yourself is the first thing pops in my mind. but really Pavel, the fact that a mere musician's observation about the difficulty of singing a simple song,which is one i play and sing with my fellows, would bring out such incredulous comment surprises. do you feel that one of your demigods was slighted?
    they are both iconical, and i've been following and digging them for decades. the recording off of "Skaggs and Rice" is done impeccably. this video version was not. nuff said.

  84. P.... Z....

    Seriously? I don't think anyone but you really cares.

  85. j.... d....

    Tony screws up the chorus vocal twice singing what Ricky is singing instead of "No sad farewells, no tear dimmed eyes...". it's not an easy song to keep together vocally.

  86. B.... ....

    AMEN to infinity! 8-)

  87. J.... W....

    Wow, they sound like my dad and his brother, Uncle Junior, many years ago! Love it! Jerry

  88. S.... ....

    excellent song, love it

  89. M.... W....

    The Lord surely blessed that boy! Can't wait to meet him one day in Heaven and play alongside him, singing the praises of the Lord!

  90. H.... B....

    Thanks for the feedback on Ricky Skaggs. First time I seen him live,he simply stunned me.That was in Eureka, CA. in the late 80s.

  91. u.... ....

    actually he got started playing mandolin with Ralph Stanley when he was 15...but if you look,there is a video of him playing on TV with Flatt and Scruggs in 1961.....hmmm

  92. H.... B....

    Seen Ricky live in 84or 5.There wasnt a string instrument he couldnt play.He got started by being a bass player for Emmy Lou when he was pretty young.

  93. B.... A....

    What a way to start my weekend....Love Bluegrass

  94. c.... l....

    I COUNTN'T AGREE - HONEY !

  95. c.... l....

    YOU HAVE THE BRAINS OF A YANKEE SKELETON

  96. c.... m....

    wow bellissima




  97. T.... G....

    That Tony Rice is an exceptional talent as well, both on the guitar and singing. Great video guys!

  98. T.... G....

    I have always like Ricky Skaggs a lot, ever since I was a kid. I did not know until probably 12 or 13 years ago that my second cousin is married to Ricky's brother Gary. I have never met Ricky, but have met his brother Gary and sang with Gary at a family reunion. The second cousin I have is on my dad's side. Her dad is my dad's nephew. I never really knew them very well. We never visited a lot of our relatives when I was a kid. I have always been a fan of Ricky's, not knowing we had mutual kin.
