"He's Been A Shelter For Me' Soul Stirrers/Paul Foster !! [Be Blessed] 

2024 where y’all at🙏🏽

Paul Foster was an absolute powerhouse. Whether you're religious or not, you cannot deny the talent & passion that the SAR Records era so beautifully encapsulated.

Paul Foster is a fire breather! Period!

Ever noticed that no one makes music this powerful anymore

Paul Foster was no joke....

In loving memory of the one & only Mr. Paul Foster (1920 - 1995 R.I.P. // gone but not forgotten).

I love this hymn brought me to tears he is a shelter. Time to get closer to my Savior who has never left me or forsaken me.

Paul Foster emulates a christian man and alpha male. Strong men is what this country needs!

I was just entering the world when this was being sung. I was born colour blind. But it was not until I was born the 2nd time that I truly became colour blind.

Love Paul Foster!!

paul and sam were so good together

Old traditional black gospel from the 1950's ! I got my start in the ministry by preaching in poor inner city African American churches.They welcomed me with open arms and gave me the opportunity to preach in their pulpits when I was 19 and 20 years old.In Jesus we are color blind and part of the same Body of Christ.Their type of worship was a blessing to me.Bro.David.

If this don't move you, you are dead! Thank you Jesus! Thank you guys for the blessed tune

AMEN AMEN AMEN...Didnt have a Mother or a Father,Doors shut in my face,people hating you for no reason, he put a roof over your head, he protects you and your Family,gets you to and from safe, he takes over our minds so that we make the right decisions..He is a Shelter for us❤ I LOVE YOU..🙋🏾‍♀️

GOOSEBUMPS... PURE POWERFUL BLACK AMERICAN SOUL. 🖤🇺🇸

Soul Music, Praise the Most High for music like this in times where the adversary is pushing his corrupt music to the masses.

funny Paul singin about shelter when he's bringing down the house

My, gosh. Paul was just the best.

I wholeheartedly echo the comments regarding Paul Foster's incredibly powerful delivery. This performance is the best version that I have ever heard of this song and is much better than the Soul Stirrers' album recordings.

I came to my Jesus just as, just as I was I was weary, I was wounded and sad But I know that I found in Him a resting, a resting place And now, right now my heart, my heart feel bad, oh, Lord

Amen!Ps 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

PAUL FOSTER IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

(He's been a shelter, shelter, shelter, for me) (That's why I love the Lord, He heard my cry, pittied every groan yeah Lord) The Lord has been a shelter for me (Well as I live trouble rise, I run to his throne yeah Lord) The Lord has been a shelter for me He's been a shelter for me, (when I was in trouble) shelter for me (the Lord's been a shelter oooh yea) shelter for me, (well he's been a roof over my head, took all my misery, I say that the Lord) The Lord has been a shelter for me (Well I came to Jesus as I was, weary, wounded and sad, yea Lord) The Lord has been a shelter for me (Well I found in him a resting place, right now I feel glad yeah Lord) The Lord has been a shelter for me He's been a shelter for me, (when I was in trouble) shelter for me (the Lord's been a shelter oooh yea) shelter for me, (well he's been a roof over my head, took all my misery, I say that the Lord) The Lord has been a shelter for me (He's been a) Shelter for me (When I was in trouble) Shelter for me (When I was burden down) Shelter for me (The Lord's been a shelter) Shelter for me (Didn't have no friend) Shelter for me (The Lord's been a shelter) Shelter for me (When I was all out door) Shelter for me (The Lord's been a shelter) Shelter for me (Didn't have no father) Shelter for me (Didn't have a mother) Shelter for me (Doors closed in my face) Shelter for me (Yeah Lord) Shelter for me (Whoa Lord) Shelter for me (Yeah Lord) Shelter for me (The Lord's been a shelter) Shelter for me (When I was all alone) Shelter for me (The Lord's been a shelter) Shelter for me (When I was by myself) Shelter for me (Burden down) Shelter for me (Yeah Lord) Shelter for me (I know the Lord) Shelter for me (Yeah Lord) Shelter for me (The Lord's been a shelter) Shelter for me (Well Lord) Shelter for me (well he's been a roof over my head, took all my misery, say that the Lord, oh yes he has) The Lord has been a shelter for me

when listening to sam cooke, i always would hear Paul's voice and never thought to look him up indvidually, im happy i just did, after years

These songs are classics! They don't make them now-a-days like they used to in them days! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this uplifting video. I know the Lord has been a shelter for me. Praise be to God for his kindness to us.

Take me back to Sundays after church. Time at grandma's and then home. School early on Monday..

I know I’m late but I heard this in my soul stirrers play list an I love the pure heart an soul of Mr. Paul I’m so glad I’m exposed to this true gospel music.

Hallelujah, My Shelter, The Lord God Almighty 💟 🙏 🤲 🙌❤️!

Tapping my foot and praising God! *Smile* True Christians see no color; we are all one in Jesus! Thanks for sharing this with me, have a nice day and God bless!

THIS MY FAAAAAVVVVVVVVORITE SONG!!

Big Paul Foster was one of the greatest old time Gospel baritones. Amazing singer.

Paul will definitely pull you up outta that pew

Nothing Better!

Nothing like old school gospel, yes he is a shelter in the time of a storm.

That is a quality voice

This song rose up in my heart just now, thank you for posting it. you are blessed and a blessing.

Yes HE HAS !!! "Oh, what a "Straight to the Soul" song"! I Love to hear Bro. Paul Foster "Boom" out the Gospel through "Soul Stirring" Songs! He has also been an ever present help in my times of troubles"! (Psalm 46:1)

I pray this will lift up your spirit today ! Take into account that back then segregation was everywhere in the schools,busing,business,churches, restaurants .How tragic ! When they sang a song like this it had even a deeper meaning ! In Christ and in the power of the Cross destroys racism in a believers heart.I started my ministry in poor African American inner city churches when I was 19/20 years old.I was honored by this fellowship and we were colored blind.The blood of Jesus unites us !

Thank you Jesus!!!! You've truly been a shelter for me!! 👏🏾🙌🏾🤗

B1, we are the foundation 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Lord has been a shelter for me!

Thank you Jesus for your precious life, for the Sacred Blood your poured from your body to wash our sins. The way you have been treated it is beyond my imagination. Thank you Jesus for all you have done so we can have life forever with you in Paradise. Amen

I love any music that gives glory to God...this was great, brother!

Jesus is our Shelter all the time - when others forsake us or let us down we can always turn to Jesus for a shelter in the time of storm. He is always there to hear our cry for help and mercifully give us grace and strength in our time of need. Katherine

Sinnngg Paul..'THE LORD BEEN A SHELTER!!'..he sang from the soul...you can feel and hear it his voice the Spirit of God moving telling his testimony..this come personal experience..there's a price to pay for the anointing and he's paid the price to sing under the anointing like he did..RIP Rev. Paul Foster..you were a true soldier for Christ

This sure brings back memories.

We are all one in the Holy Spirit of our living God thru Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessing of the the Lord be upon you all ~ 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

“Put a roof over my head to guard from heathenry”

This song was made for our people and our struggle. Its meaning is significant and should be recognized for its comforting message. God knows we need comfort in this wicked hurtful place where they hurt us just because of who we are. Vengeance Lord, just like David asked.

These boys knew how to work..

All true worship and praise is color blind regardless of language or culture. Thanks for sharing this with us!

☝0F the BEST

Gospel singing at its best era soulstirring indeed

Sannnnnnnnnnnng Paul!!!! Yeahhhhhhh LORD!!!

PSALM 61:3 3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong atower from the enemy.

Amen! The Lord has been a shelter for me too!! Psalms 91:1-2 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

The Soul Stirrers definitely stir up your soul. Thank you for sharing it. God Bless you as you continue to spread God's Word to others.

In the back, middle, is the talented Jimmy Outler. He took over as lead singer for the Soul Stirrers after Johnny Taylor left for the bright lights. He was killed in a fight in 1967.

Love it Jesus is our shelter when the storms come .....Psalms 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

glad I found the energy in this video

i love at 2:07 you see the tears running down his face... i understand brother.. the Lord has been my shelter even when i tried to run away towards sin, he didnt punish me as my sins deservers. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

That music was beautiful! I didn't know there was Christian Du-Wap. That's 1 of my favourite kinds of music. Is there anymore? There's nothing like the romantic ballads of the 50s-60s. But I can't listen 2 it any more because I never had romance in my life & I never will.There is so much music I can't listen 2 Bcuz so much of my life is already over. It just reminds me of all the things I've done wrong & can't change now. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. GOD bless you & yours, Mamma

Beautiful!!!!! We are all one in Christ! Brother David you are such a blessing to so many! A young man set out to spread the good news So they may be saved ! Love this beat gets me moving and smiling! Love to All your Family YSIC~Paula

These soft singers praising God without this delivery needs to listen to the vocalistic thrill of this guy.

Outstanding!!!!

Amen

@aflame4God I love the soul stirrers by dad introduced them to me......I esp. loved them when sam cooke was singing with them.......thanks for the post..........grace and peace......selahpause

loves from belgium for uploading this great piece of music!!

Great song ❤️

THANKS FOR SHARING GOOD PERFORMANCE GOD BLESS

@10battalion10 Amen and praise the LORD !! We are one in Christ when we are born from above .I love this song and how they sing with a fervent heart .Real signing from the depths of their souls.

😇🙏🏽 chills!!

Thank you for sharing Bro. David, I love Gospel music. This one is so happy it just lifts the spirit!

Do you understand that "CANT NOBODY BRING THE HOLY SPIRIT INTO A PLACE LIKE MY PEOPLE........NOBODY !!!!

Amen , My Brothers and Sisters in CHRIST

Till the day, when all men are treated the same. I will never understand, why the segregation, are we all not made in the Image of the, living GOD?

Good ol' worship music! THE GOOD STUFF!!!

@LoveAndDefendLife Yes this song stirs my soul and makes me want to shout to the Lord for all He is to you and me ! I never get tired watching this video !!! Bro.David.

love it!!!!

amen

Is it me or does the guy on the guitar look like a younger version of lawrence fishburne when he was one the musicians who sang with shug avery in color purple?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@iloveusomuchjesus Love your input , very encouraging ! Doors really did close in their faces because of the color of their skin and how sad it was that many back then and even now who confess Christ have racism in their hearts. The words are meaningful and as we read the Psalms we see those words Shelter,Refuge, Strong Tower,Buckler,Shield,Fortress ! Powerful description of who the LORD is to us !

Paul Foster is not playing

PRAISE THE LORD!~~~GOD IS LOVE!

I'll take this any day over the "rock bands"that are taking over our Church.... great post and God bless. Could you please pray for my family and I, I am having "high risk"surgery on Oct 11.

Thanks for sharing this video. The Lord has been my shelter. Amen..

Muy bueno ¡¡¡

If this doesn't get you going then nothing will. There is no hope for you.

Great song and so true ! Amen !!

@dan4ETERNALPATH Thank your comments ! He is our shelter and I love the way they sing-they sing with fervent passion like they really believe it ! I appreciate the old style and the very clear message the we have a refuge in Jesus.Bro.David.

Thank you...such a blessing!

@BuddsAppleFarm Hey Paul. When in Bible College I had a desire to preach.On Sunday I would put on my suit and tie and drive to the inner city to a poor church just to worship and hear the Word.I never asked anyone 'can I preach?" They loved me and accepted me.The pastor would invite to the platform and pulpit to testify and then would ask me to return to preach.It was great !! This had me many times.They treated me with mutual love and respect in Christ.Great memories singing/shouting/preaching

@Faithlikeachild777 You are so right.Love the lyrics of this song and love the fervent singing by the lead singer.
