The result was   keep per WP:SNOW. Not quite a speedy keep, since there was a "weak delete" vote, but the nominator's withdrawal justifies an early closure. (non-admin closure) StAnselm (talk) 21:02, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Nominate for deletion Has been tagged as of doubtful notability for over 5 years; I couldn't establish notability. Boleyn (talk) 20:06, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete A Google Books search reveals that the song's lyrics have been printed in a handful of publications.  It's at least slightly notable, but  publication in a few books issued by niche Christian publishers may not be sufficient to satisfy WP:GNG.  The article notes that the song has "many possible lyrics" and at least one alternate title ("Down In My Heart") so it is possible that alternative search terms could yield better results for establishing notability. --Mike Agricola (talk) 20:52, 12 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep Seems to have some coverage, per Google book search, going beyond just printing the lyrics. Some books discuss its importance and place in music of its genre: See m, , . It also can show a dark side: . .Edison (talk) 21:16, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Keep Keep Keep. Per Edison.  This is a famous old gospel song (and I can't resist noting that Granny Clampett used to sing it on The Beverly Hillbillies); it belongs here.--Arxiloxos (talk) 00:27, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per Edison and every Sunday schooler who has ever had to sing this song, which is plenty of people. Public domain as I can see it and no issues that can't be done through normal source searching.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:34, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
