Having reached number three on Billboard's Hot Country chart, Harris's version is the most familiar to most people.

It relates to how her mother, in having the family's best interest at heart and to be the best possible mother she could to her children, that she stood by her husband through difficult times.

Coat Of Many Colors
In the Hebrew Bible, the coat of many colors ( he, כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים, ketonet passim) is the name for the garment that Joseph (Hebrew Bible), Joseph owned, which was given to him by his father, Jacob. Biblical narrative Joseph's father, Jacob (also called Israel), favored him and gave Joseph the coat as a gift; as a result, he was envied by his brothers, who saw the special coat as an indication that Joseph would assume family leadership. His brothers' suspicion grew when Joseph told them of his two dreams (Genesis 37:11) in which all the brothers bowed down to him. The narrative tells that his brothers plotted against him when he was 17, and would have killed him had not the eldest brother Reuben (Bible), Reuben interposed. He persuaded them instead to throw Joseph into a pit and secretly planned to rescue him later. However, while Reuben was absent, the others planned to sell him to a company of Ishmaelites, Ishmaelite merchants. When the passing Midianites arr ...

Palms Of Victory
The gospel song, Palms of Victory, also called "Deliverance Will Come", and "The Way-worn Traveler", was evidently written in 1836 by the Rev. John B. Matthias, a Methodist Episcopal minister in New York state. This attribution is not well documented, and Matthias had no known history of song-writing, but there is no other author to whom it can be attributed (See below). History of use "Palms of Victory" has not been widely used in church circles. It seems to have been published in only four "standard" hymnals published it between 1900 and 1966: the Mennonite ''Church and Sunday-school Hymnal'' of 1902 (hymn no. 132), ''Glorious Gospel Hymns'' ( Nazarene) of 1931 (hymn no. 132 as "The Bloodwashed Pilgrim"), the African Methodist Episcopal hymnal of 1954, and the National Baptist Convention hymnal of 1924 (hymn #333). In 1893, it had been included in the Seventh-day Adventist hymnal as #1145. An informal survey of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century gospel song bo ...
