Resurrection and eternal life are the themes of this Gaither Homecoming Easter-time special taped at sites around the Holy Land.
Stories, songs and miracles of centuries ago come alive with new significance as Bill and Gloria Gaither and the Homecoming Friends visit the very places where Christ's life, death and resurrection unfolded.
An unforgettable live concert at David's Citadel in Jerusalem plus stirring footage and interviews filmed throughout Israel are brought together for this video event of a lifetime which celebrates the very foundation of our faith. Sing along as the reality of the Hope of the Ages finds its way to the depths of your soul in Jerusalem.
From a boat on the Sea of Galilee to the Garden of Gethsemane, the life of Jesus Christ is celebrated in songs such as "The Mighty One of Israel," (Bekki Smith), "Bethlehem, Galilee" (Russ Taff) and "Can't Stop Talkin' About Him" (Gaither Vocal Band) and "Peace Be Still." The promise of the resurrection is heralded in "Jerusalem" (The Hoppers) and "Resurrection" (Guy Penrod), but it is Larnelle Harris' awe-inspired "I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked" which gives the travelogue-in-song its meaning.
Charlotte Ritchie's "Next Time We Meet," with David's city at night as her stage, has as it's underpinning, the traditional Jewish salutation, "Next year in Jerusalem," an appropriate punctuation for a special that pays homage to the spiritual mecca of people of faith the world over.
