@@tylerstanley1687 if you find the old songs depressing you gotta get your heart right my man. ain't nothing depressing about God incarnate in flesh choosing to die for your sins. that's something to rejoice about.
Those were the days my friend! We thought they'd never end! When church was church! You knew it was time for Communion and the serving of the Lord's Supper when you heard "Glory to HIS Name." Miss me some Bishop David Ellis and his genuine spirit. Made you want to lift them up and put them down. With a young Walter Owens, directing, Lamar Campbell on the keyboard (piano) and the legendary iconic Nash E. Shaffer, Jr. on the Hammond Organ!! It gets no better than this!! Just some good 'ole fashioned church music!
Down at the cross where my Savior died, Down where for cleansing from sin I cried, There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to His Name! Refrain: Glory to His Name, Glory to His Name: There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to His Name! I am so wondrously saved from sin, Jesus so sweetly abides within, There at the cross where He took me in; Glory to His Name! Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin, I am so glad I have entered in; There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean; Glory to His Name! Come to this fountain so rich and sweet, Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet; Plunge in today, and be made complete; Glory to His Name!
If I'm not mistaken, this video is of guest speaker Bishop Ellis singing at Light of the World Disciples of Christ church (former sanctuary), presided over by Bishop Dr. Benjamin Garrett, Minister of Music(former): Mr. Owens, Keyboard: Lamar Campbell (current Director of Spirit of Praise gospel group). God bless!
This type of old-time Holy Ghost anointed praise service is what modern-day (so-called) churches have LOST! Most have now gone into the APOSTASY!! God help us!!!
I feel like praising God about now...I love this song, and the late Bishop Ellis and his choir knew how to move the Church of God through songs, spirituals and good old fashion praising God...I love it...
Down at the cross where my savior, he died Down where for cleansing from sin I cried There to my heart was the blood applied Glory to his name (Glory to his name! Glory to his name, yeah.) I am so wondrously saved from sin, Jesus so sweetly abides within, There at the cross where he took me in; Glory to his name! Oh, yeah. Glory to his name, Glory to his name. There to my heart was the blood applied; Glory to his name! (Glory to his name!) Come to this fountain so rich and sweet. Cast your poor soul at thy Savior's feet. Plunge in today and be made complete. Glory to his name. Glory to his name, Glory to his name! There to my heart was the blood applied. (There was the blood applied) Glory to his name. Oh, there to my heart was the blood applied. (There was the blood applied) Glory to his name!
serious declaration in this song 2:20 "GLORY TO!" that drive makes you think about the song. For a min I thought Bishop Ellis was gonna bust out with 3:03 "THERE IS BUT 1 LORD, THERE IS BUT 1 FAITH, & 1 BAPTISM" like he used to on the GGT telecast & broadcast
Thanks soooo much for sharing the spirit with me and my wife here in Yuba City tonight. We needed to hear this lively rendition. A blessing to our soles. We will be singing this song tomorrow. Amen.
That is one of my lifelong acquaintances on the organ--Lamar Campbell. His mother Genevieve is one of the best cooks I know. I used to visit them often when I lived in Indianapolis.
and the location brings back so many memories....i lived on the house on audubon rd. right across from 38th street...overflow parking always parked on my street...especially when it came to the ecumencial service during indiana black expo.
