they took it way back to the best days when the whole church was on one accord and lifted those voices with zero instruments. all we needed was a good toe tap, some clapping hands, and our voices. the LORD was with us then and he is now. we got the victory and HE got the praise. i love this so much. this is just wonderful.
This was my grandmother’s favorite hymn! She lead it whenever they sang it in our church! It was her testimony song! When she passed, they sung it at her funeral & believe me when I tell you, she walked straight through those pearly gates shouting this song to the top of her lungs! Hearing this makes me miss her sooooo much!
I am a seventy five year old great grand mother and i remember all of these old songs that we song when i was a child down in Arkansas and Louisiana. My grandmother would sing all the time at Mt. Union Baptist Church in Marion, La. We need to sing like this now.
Hi. There are many different varieties of Primitive Baptists. In urban areas where I grew up my cousins were PB..National Primitive Baptist Convention USA and they Did use musical instruments, had many Choirs and usually were the top members of Choir Unions. What differentiated them from Missionary Baptists was their Foot Washing at The Lord's Supper. They had tons of a capella Hymn lining and singing but also Gospel Singing with instruments. There really is nothing wrong with that. The 150th Psalm is all about Praise giving God All including with cymbals, string instruments..All..so it is Biblically okay to do so . We can choose not to as well and that is to be respected but the Primitive Baptists on my family choose to use it all. I am a musician and if God Blessed me with a talent how can I reject it?
I couldn't hold back the tears. This reminds me too much of church with my grandma when I was young. That first lady reminds me of when my grandma would lead this song.
OMG I love this song reminds me as a child in church revivals fasting laying of the hands walking in church paying respect going to the alter kneeling pray then sit down AMEN 🙏
Reminds me so much of how my people, Creek and Seminole Indians, sing our centuries old hymns in our churches in our Muskogee language. It was and is our way of bringing the Creator to us, just as I can see it is the same for these worshiping members of Mt. Ramah Primitive Baptist Church. AMEN!
Karen Harjo, I love your comment! This particular style of praise/prayer comes directly from Africa via South Carolina and the Sea Island Praise Houses that were built by slaves and former slaves. The Praise Circle was a very specific type of worship and was later carried North, South, and West with enslaved peoples and also with free blacks migrating to find a better life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Thank you Mary Matthews. Just so you understand where I'm coming from, I recommend that you check out a clip from a short film by Sterlin Harjo about Muskogee hymns. It is entitled "This May Be the Last Time" and is available on RU-vid and VOD, and there are some hymns sung in our Muskogee (Creek/Seminole) language on RU-vid. Many blessings!
I grew up Baptist just like this being a black ... but a few years ago had the privilege to drive the Seminole Tribe of Florida to the Gathering of Nations and we visited a Tribe of very primitive living Indians living just the way they had for centuries.. I think the Peublo... they were singing in there ancient language and telling the stories of the long walk.. I had to leave the room before I lost it..I didn't understand what they were saying but I felt it..I couldn't stop crying...
You ever thought they are the disenfranchised Creek and Seminoles and you are the franchised? Because how is the same melody lines are found all over the world? And everybody say that’s how MY people sang in our language!
@@dustincdouglas2290 Yes all Aboriginals (original peoples) received similar messages about how to praise. You see this everywhere among NATIVES to any continent
Sister Kathy,my name is elder Alvin Dixon I came there and preached 3-4 times was always a blessing, brother Willie was there at the time , sister Jessie and I still have sweet memories of the love and kindness you'll showed me and the brother with, give my love to your people and thanks for putting this out where I could partake of it
Good old spiritual. I grew up listening to Rev. Cleophus Robinson and Mahaliah Jackson. Oh how I wish I were born in those days. I can see where Revivalism in Jamaica and Spiritual Baptists in Trinidad came from
This reminds me of growing up in Green view First Baptist Church when an elderly man or woman would get up singing and the church just falls in behind. This is straight from Africa here. Of course, we are to modern now and many churches don't have signing like this.
This service reminds me so much of my former church home in Byhalia, MS 38611: Mount Sinai Missionary Baptist, under the leadership of the late Pastor Emeritus Samuel A Phillips, Sr.. Sister Lovie Phillips was a praise leader and SHOUTER!
The hats are Crowns these are Yah's Queen and Daughters chosen by him for himself only if some are not wearing their Crowns they still are Yah's Daughters AMEN ❤
Yessuh!! I love this! If I'm not mistaking, I believe the lady leading this is the same lady in the other video singing the same song. I LOVE IT!!! Thanks for sharing!
I grew up in the Primitive Baptist faith,and now reside in Va. Beach and there are no close churches,if anyone knows of any in this area,please let me know. I love these videos.
I agree with the last message, I miss this singing, None in columbus ohio....I'm have to go back to georgia where my mother & fathers church in buena vista, ga
I loved this song in the Walt Disney movie, The Liberators. I have not been able to find out who did the singing or the movie again ever since. The movie was made in 1986 or 1987 starring Robert Carradine and Larry B. Scott, Tonya Williams, and Renee Jones. Can anyone help me with finding this movie again or that song by those artists?
It's been passed down possibly through antebellum south. It was a "word of mouth" kind of hymn txt has different verses depending on location. A lot of the leads change the parts based on scripture and personal experience.
