I was in the grocery store a few minutes ago when the call came informing me of the death of our beloved Rev. Murrell Ewing. I was stunned
I sat on my couch a few minutes ago and listened to this remarkable man sing this amazing song. I am weeping.

I wept too, Sis Buxton. He was my Hero in so many ways–yet, I never even got to actually talk to him. I met him at various times and shook hands, but never was able to tell him of all the times he ministered to me personally. We have lost a Giant and a Prince of a man–Heaven has gained a new Choir director and singer!
I loved his singing, but I also remember him preaching at Western District Youth Convention. It’s been about 30 years now, but I’ll never forget the impact his preaching made on my life that week.
Happy New Year, Sister Fields and Sister McElhaney.
Yes, we have lost a giant….temporarily, of course. What a man of God he was, not only an incredible singer, but a powerful preacher of the Word. His spirit was rare and humble.
Of course, God’s Church will go on and will not falter, but it is hard to imagine anyone taking his place. My husband sat in his chair this morning and wept again as he thought of his friend’s death.
God’s blessings to both of you.
Breaks my heart. He was a wonderful man.
Many heroes of the faith have had a homecoming in 2010; they will be greatly missed.
Jaime, we have suffered dreadful loss this past year…but our hope is in Jesus. One day (probably soon) we again will be united.
Until then…..we keep serving our Jesus.
I am 55 yrs old, married to a pastor. I remember at the age of probably 13, he came to Ohio campmeeting and preached a message I shall never forget: ” God rides on the wings of the wind”. I wept to hear of his passing. He was a gentle giant, great man of God. What an awesome ministry he and Sis. Ewing had. My heart hurts for her as I know she feels lost. God bless the church, all of the family and especially Sis. Ewing….
I’ve never heard this song and the way this author painted such a spectacular sight as is sung by Bro Ewing. I count myself rich to hear a man of God sing under the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Such a loss to all his family and friends…….won’t heaven be wonderful!
I believ e Sis. Ewing invented songwriting, and Rev. Ewing invented singing. He will be missed, both preaching and singing.
Can’t you just hear Heaven now with Bishop Ewing, Vestal, Howard, Rusty and Sam Goodman. “The Lady,” Priscilla McGruder, all singing together in a way we can never hear on this earth. What a sight to see with their new Heavenly bodies, their new lives! Missed on earth but very much weldomed in Heaven.
MY little girl, Stacey wouldn’t always go to sleep when it was sleepy time. Nothing I tried seem to put her to sleep so I put in Merril Ewings tape one night and she always feel asleep to him on a regular basis after that. She is 32 now.He had a Beautiful Voice and so enjoyed listening to him many times. I accidentally stumbled across this blog. Felt sad but rejoiced in the joy he must be in…at home at last! He made his destiny!
