Praise God...They've been through all that time and in their worst they still praised the Lord...He was all they could lean on..Ugh Im only 19 but I have to say that my generation nor that of my little brother has NO IDEA where we came from...and how much GOD we needed then and how much more we need Him now!
Praise God... It was good for my old father... It is good enough for me... See you daddy when the dead in christ rise first... Then we which remain shall be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air... Thank you my saviour.
Black folk (some not all) dont know how near the Lord is to them. As much as i pray for israel i pray for my brothas and sistas..... I cant enough of music like this... as pure as it gets
I cannot stop singing this song to myself. I am a total atheist, not raised religious in any way but just love to get down to the gospel. I think my roommates believe I've gone crazy... haha great song.
kalloyd05 Crazy to hear gospel music. I’m in college and I sing gospel, not caring what my roommates think because they can hear me singing, but they’re not saying anything.
My Friend, I do not care what you call yourself, if you love Mahalia Jackson's music there is something spiritual stirring in your soul. If you at least read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, I do believe you will come to love Jesus Christ ... and I do not care if you still call yourself an atheist *:)*
God could care less about religion or a church. 2 Samuel 7:4-7. He is only concerned with our hearts and having a relationship with him. Old Testament used words like assembly, or congregation, not the word church. Church has deep dark history. Circe was translated to church in Greek and she was the daughter of the sun God who was a sorceress that changed animals to humans thru witchcraft. Religion is just a ritual practiced in the name of Jesus which isn’t even his real name. Jesus was translated from the Greek son of Zeus who was called lesous. Once u do some deep digging, u will understand why Satan rules over the church body. They pray to Elohim, which is plural for deities or gods, and there is only one true creator, who doesn’t have multiple names like the church teaches. The Bible says to worship in spirit, not in a a building. Love this song tho! Love all the old gospel songs. We all have the spirit of the creator in us, whether we know it or not, it’s how we can connect to the Father if we choose. There is always free will given. ❤🙏🏻
@trevorjetson I think you're referring to the 1962 version from the Ed Sullivan Show. This is the 1961 CBS recording. I like the other one more, as well.
Captain Beefheart also brought me here! I don't usually like the messages given in Christian songs but I could sympathize with the words this time, because they seem like they were said out of desperation.
