I had not heard of Joey Feek until I saw this video going around on Facebook, a little over four years ago, asking for prayers for this young mother who was dying of cervical cancer. Joey was an established country singer who performed with her husband, Rory Feek. They had a precious daughter together who appears in the video. The video is unforgettable - the song takes on a whole new meaning, less about repentance and more about a weary soul going home to be with Jesus in death.
Softly and Tenderly - Joey Feek
It is worth taking a few minutes to search Joey’s name and read about her. I was able to read some of her last blog posts years ago and was struck by her sweet faith as she faced death with courage and grace. I regretted not knowing about her sooner.
