When it comes to uplifting music that speaks to the soul, few events capture the essence quite like the Gaither Homecoming concerts. One such gem in their lineup is “Leaning On the Everlasting Arms,” featuring beloved artists Buddy Greene, Jeff & Sheri Easter, and Charlotte Ritchie. This event is more than just a concert; it’s a heartfelt celebration of faith, community, and the timeless messages found in gospel music.
When performed by seasoned artists like Buddy Greene—who not only sings but also plays his signature harmonica—the message resonates even more deeply. Greene’s heartfelt performance adds a unique touch that makes you feel like you’re right there with him, singing along in your living room. Now let’s talk about Jeff & Sheri Easter and Charlotte Ritchie. Each brings their own style and flair to this musical gathering, blending harmonies that are simply out of this world. Jeff & Sheri Easter have been beloved figures in gospel music for years. Their chemistry as a duo is palpable, and when they sing together, it’s as if they’re weaving a tapestry of sound that envelops listeners in warmth.
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. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. 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.

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms Lyrics
What a fellowship, what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What have I to dread? What have I to fear?
Leaning on the everlasting arms
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the everlasting arms
Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms
