This beautiful gospel song brings back so many wonderful memories and reminds me of the incredible blessing that was Vestal Goodman’s voice and ministry. She was truly one of the greatest female gospel singers of her generation, and there was something deeply special and heartfelt about the way she sang. Her music was never just about vocal ability—it carried sincerity, passion, and a spirit that touched people in a powerful way. Listening to her sing always had a way of reaching beyond the melody and speaking directly to the soul, bringing comfort, joy, and a reminder of God’s goodness.

Her rendition of “What A Lovely Name” in this Bill & Gloria Gaither Homecoming Concert is such a beautiful testimony to the remarkable gift she was given and the incredible presence she brought whenever she stood before an audience. You can hear not only her talent and singing prowess, but also the faith and conviction behind every word she sang. Even though she is no longer with us, her legacy continues to live on and inspire both longtime gospel listeners and younger generations discovering these timeless songs for the first time. Praise the Lord for the life and ministry of Vestal Goodman, and may everyone who listens be uplifted, encouraged, and richly blessed.

The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups.

Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.

When God Seems So Near

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.

There are times when I cannot feel His presence
When the clouds of doubt obscure the Master’s smile
But when I’m still enough to hear his gentle whisper
Then I know my Lord has been there all the while

When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
When I pause in the hush of his holy presence
When I’m so still I can hear each whispered word
When I pause to pray I enter His cathedral
These are the times when God seems so near.
These are the times when God seems so near.
