  • This is power, I feel this healing all over my body. Thank you Lord.

  • powerful, powerful, powerful song, said by : CBB Power Productions/ Sis. Chante' and Bro. Harold H. Hodge Jr.

  • Inspiration knows no color - God knows no color - God's praise comes from all colors - It is more heartfelt and inspired because we are making music for God's ears. There will never be a replacement. I cry when I see poor people in oppressed countries just singing their hearts out. People in oppressed countries may be persecuted for singing about our Christian God. But oppressors cannot reach into our hearts and minds. Oppressors cannot snatch away our Love of God.

  • This is GOSPEL

  • I don't want to make this about race. but its just something botu when my black people open up their mouths and sing! I wish my people can see that we are one in a million and so talented! Put so much soul and feeling in what we do its. I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. This is how family reunions look like when my eople get together and my grandma and her brother get to singing and the fam joins in :-) I love it yes I do!

  • This is the type of music that brought the Old Saints though and praise God it's still doing it now

  • WOW, THEY DO MAKE YOU WANT TO KNOW JESUS!! THANK GOD FOR THE OLD WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I discovered this video about a year ago, can't get enough of hearing this song, very moving, thank you very much.

  • Please never remove this video from Youtube......Thank you So much.

  • no matter how old you are, you can always Praise our father,

  • At 3:58, who is that man in the green? I don't want to assume and be wrong...

  • i love this video i have been looking at it like 3 or 4 time a week for about a year now thanks for putting it on god bless.

  • @sugamama39 i knew i wasn't the only one, lol.

  • My, OMG what a great gift ENTERNAL LIFE YOU WIN!!! jUST ONE LOOK!!!

  • @cefinow - I feel the same way. This music draws you to the bosom of Jesus to just lay there and bask in his love. There is nothing else like it in the world!

  • I want to see Him face to face. Nothing like Old School Gospel. Hallelujah!

  • The Barret sisters and everyone else are looking for those beautiful sopranos at 0:36.  They are like angels.

  • Mr. Preston was overcome. Anointed singing and playing.

  • i wonder who that lady is whos singing those super high notes at 1:38 & 2:50 WOW!

  • @aliquebjjolion OKAYYY!! "Mother" hit those notes...for the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost!!

  • @aliquebjjolion that one of the Barrett singers.

  • There's absolutely no way that you can watch this video and not be moved!

  • the very first time i heard this and saw this video i cried... extremely powerful spirit moving song... i wish i could have been in that room while they were recording this song... the annointing and healing !

  • @iluvmuzicable WHO IS THAT AT 252 IN THE PINK I SEE HER IN EVERY VIDEO ALSO

  • Thank you for allowing me to go back and reflect!

  • Oh how I wish gospel music was still like this. Listen to the harmony in the voices...

  • No words can describe this group. What a great group of talent. The music is udescribable. Wonderful.

  • Wow. Almost everyone is in tears. POWERFUL!!!

  • how can you dislike this old prayer

  • This is truly a gospel classic!...Oh how I missed those days!....Looking forward to heaven to get them back!...To God Be The Glory!

  • Wow.... this was truly a Blessing for me. I shared with my mom wondering if she knew the song, I should have known. It reminded her of the church she grew up in, singing in the choir and how blessed to be exposed to so many facets of church music. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS AVAILABLE TO US!!!!

    GOD BLESS

  • Just have to weep tears of joy................Thank you Holy Spirit.

  • i loveeeee it!

    bless God!

  • Glory!

  • Wonderfully sung! I am only 21 years old, but I am an old soul at heart! I believe that music like this needs to return back in most churches nowadays! This song really moved my spirit! Very powerful annointing!

  • Wonderfully done God is here to lift the heavy burden and bring salvation

  • POWERFUL!

  • YESSSSSSSS!!! I can feel the Power throughout this vid...I wish the new generation could do something like this..It would be awesome!!

  • I love this! When I was small we used to listen to Elder Lightfoot Meshaw on the radio and I've never forgotten the sounds of joy from the choir. I'm white, 81 years old and still love the sounds of praise that come from this post. Thank you. OneKewpie.

  • how do i put this-- so i am white, and walk with Jesus in the way, already-- but when i hear black gospel music, it is like He reaches out his hand and draws me toward himself and says, "Walk just a little closer, my dear." I never feel that with any other music. And that is why every member of the body of Christ needs every other member!! This means so much to me. God bless you.

  • @cefinow This is so awesome...Thank you for sharing, and I totally agree with you...Be blessed and continue to enjoy this joyous music...We are all God's children...God love's you, and so do I...From the heart....

  • @cefinow GOD Bless you for this comment. Oftentimes we put ourselves in catergories, but the truth is we are one body in Christ and that's all that matters!

  • @cefinow can I just thank you for what you said. My husband attends a non-denom church that came out of Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, and I after all my life listening to gospel and hymns, CANNOT feel that Maranatha music!. So I'm in the other side of how you feel! When I hear a hymn or read the words of a hymn, I just turn to liquid jello! And get those holy ghost musicians, it's a WIN-WIN!!! God bless and keep you!!

  • @cefinow Don't do that to me. I'm black and the small things like this stir my spirit in a good way. God sees no color when it comes to his music we are all his children and he speaks to us in different ways.

  • wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooo

  • If I wasn't already in because of the lyrics and the choir singing, the ladies hitting them high notes sent me on up to glory!!!

  • I love this song I look at it about ten throughout the day. Only a look! That is all I want one look. Wow this is some good gospel singing!

  • Praise God for voices like these amen.

  • I miss music like this.....  Nothing like it, nowhere.

  • Wow very enjoyable. Thanks for posting.  It is so hard to find songs like this on the radio.

  • Wonderful just to watch and hear them sing in real worship

  • I love gospel music especially fast ones Idk what makes me so how do u say..... energetic just listening makes me want to go to a black church they sing amazing I wish I could sing like them. :)

  • A White Lady friend of mine looked at this with me and wondered why some of the people in the audience were wiping away tears??? Was it joy?? I told her it was tears of joy and sometimes tears of family members who are now gone. In

    African Ameican funerals you may have the congregation sing songs like this at a funereal and when you hear it again at anytime, the feelings of that day come

    back like it is just it was when you were singing at a loved ones funeral. It takes me back to those days.

  • A song of truth and many of today's young generation need to look at JESUS for only one look will bring salvation to be free of the world of sin.

  • @pcrotwo amen

  • Awesome!!! Looking at Jesus is what it's all about!

  • GREAT VIDEO TO WAKE UP TOO :)

  • Just added this song to my playlist. Praise God Amazing song Love It

  • This is good!!!!!

  • This song is so emotionally charging. It reminds me of my little church in rural Texas as a child. That is when people sangeded and meant what came out of their mouths.

I know the late great Billy Preston was feeling it, and so was I...The anointing of God was just so strong and ever present..Who said you have to be in a Church to praise God???.Phew, make you want to holler at the top of your voice Hallelujah, Glory be to God....

  • SPIRITFILLED SPINE TINGLING HAIR RAISING DOWN HOME GOSPEL

  • I haven't heard this kind of singing in a long time! This is what you call sweet music to our ears. Whom ever that is, playing that piano, is plucking every nail, screw or tack loose!!!!! You go mannnn and the saprano singer killed it too. LAWD have mercy on that piano!! I love it. I had to share this with FB friends and family. Where in Maryland can I find this kind of singing??

  • All I can say is WOW!!!!

  • i love old time gosepl music. Traditional gosepl is just MMM GOOD!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • RIP....Mother Albertina Walker!

  • who cares if it's oldschool or contemporary if it's sincerely praising God, that's all that matters, not the sound or the beat but the words and the motive behind them. God doesn't put restraints on how a song should sound to be considered as gospel enough, we do.and we shouldn't need a song to sound a certain way to feel the spirit, we should be able to praise God no matter what old or new.

  • good song ...why were they all crying though maybe im too young to understand

  • OH MY!!!! They just don't make gospel music like this anymore!!! I am so tremendously blessed every time I watch this video. The anointing and presence of God was so apparent on the faces and through the tears. So much experience coming out!! Thank God for these GIANTS of gospel music!!!

  • It's not a spectators sport, nor is it a contest it doesn't need rating, it rates itself, I'm going to go out and try to buy this, so I can have the pure unaduterated spirit of what these folks are about, this is as real as it gets except for the scroll and the OMG nonsense.

  • This is real Gospel music...brought back alot of memories and tears...Folks god is so real....Thanks for this post. a true inspiration!!!

  • I LOVE back in the day when that one Soprano would hit that random "WHOOOO". Lol. I used to LOVE hearing that.

  • im only 18 but ican truly say i enjoy this type of gospel more than the ones from my generation.

  • Black people are a blessed part -- an indelible part -- of America. There is no United States of America without Black people and this blessed Christian music. Black Americans teach us what it means to be Christian. Thanks.

  • Magnificent! It takes me back 50 years to the wonderful singers I heard in Chicago.

  • he sounds like Rev James cleveland

  • They simply don't make good gospel like this any more and this is why it is so important to have these venues that allow us to go back and remember and reflet. Praise the Lord

  • Only a Look at Jesus. I have never heard this song before until today and just happened to come across it. What a beautiful song. I COULDN'T and CANNOT stop crying thinking of my dear beloved mother (Edna Mae Morris Blockton) who left me in 1993 and BROKE MY HEART. My heart is to full to continue, but thank you for posting this.

  • This song is so moving and true.

    Eternal life in Jesus.

    God Bless

  • GLORY !! What a blessing .

  • Who's at the Piano? what's his name?

  • @accountantPM THIS LOOKS JUST LIKE DONALD VAIL AND IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE HIM

  • To have some of the greats of gospel singers assemble in one room is awesome. I could only imagine the anointing that was in that room.

  • Lord, Lord, Lord. Nobody sings like black folk. The blend of so many "untrained" voices; the harmony alone brings tears to my eyes. All I can say is, what a mess it is going to be in heaven!!!! Meeting my Father, seeing all of my loved ones, and hearing singing like this will indeed be a joyous occasion . . . EVERY DAY.

  • Halleluja Thanks you Jesus

  • Is that honey sykes at 2:05?

  • MY JESUS THANK YOU GOD

  • Thank you Capdog360 for providing the words to this. This is just wonderful...

  • This song isn"t like the songs of today but it has the annointing to it. I'm only 16 & i like old fashion song like this better then songs of today becuase people today don't sing there faith like the older saints did

  • Songs that touch the uttermost part of your soul are songs like this.... the annoiting makes the difference!!!!

  • sounding good!!

  • Hallelujah JESUS!!!!!!

  • Thank you LORD !
