I'm 29 and I'm one of those "old" people. Regardless, may we "crown him with many crowns" in whatever style we will, so long as the heart can truly reach out and fasten itself upon its proper object, Jesus Christ and his glory.
They added a Gospel beat to the incomparable Diademeta melody. Well done. The words are straight from the book of Revelation that depict Jesus reigning in heaven. You can't do better than that. Don't get conceited. Excellence transcends generations.
I think that's Michael Omartian on the piano in back with the band. To have them both on stage together is really epic. Between the two of them, they have done a whole lot of the heavy lifting in popular music that has a positive message.
No matter your generation, this is a beautiful song to the Lord. As you are partaking, please consider how much the Lord loves us all and our songs to him. If you are trying to make lines in the sand saying "the Lord loves this but not this", really consider who you are serving and whether you are fit to claim what He does and doesn't love.
Oh. My. Goodness!! THANK YOU for posting this!! I recorded this live on a vhs tape that has long since disappeared. I think of this segment often and I'm so glad I was able to relive my senior year of high school. 🤣
@@victoriabell9546 I agree with both of you. I enjoy the more upbeat version, but I want the 'old' people in the congregation. I am getting older every year and someday I will be the 'old people'. I hope people will still want me around, rather than being ignored as I die in my home. Alone. With no real friends, or without any one who cares about me.
Steve Crawford. The four near the piano (besides Larnell Harris) were "Anointed". (Anointed is a Contemporary Christian music duo from Columbus, Ohio, known for their strong vocals and harmonies, featuring siblings Steve Crawford and Da'dra Crawford Greathouse, along with former members Nee-C Walls (who left the group in 2001) and Mary Tiller (who left in 1995).)
Sad M W Smith , that you don't like " the old people" and are happy when they leave the building . I love the old conservative and your contemporary version . It is just sad you prefer us " old people " to leave the building . You will be old some day .
