Walter Hawkins Love Alive IV/"Thank You" Part 1

[654gene]

It is amazing how someone can sing such a song and have doctrines straight from Hell. Yvette Flounder and her all inclusive Doctrine-The LGBT community can be in there sin and be OK with God. Perverting the love of God. Psalm 50:21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

[MrJohnshopkins53]

Yes I agree we should thank God for the Life of Bishop Walter Hawkins.. and this generation should fall on their knees and weep because there will never see another one like him. These type of song writers are a passing breed, these kids today are into "Hip Hop" Gospel.. these songs were written by the soldiers of the cross who been there, cried many tears, many sleepless nights , but had a gift larger than themselves.. who will step up and carry the banner???WILL YOU!!!

[superbabyjane23]

i love this song so much! i feel so much more closer to him after hearing this.

[MrChrismballard]

[MisterCrazyLegs]

As a songwriter, Bishop Wlater Hawkins wrote many classic & memorable songs. Walter Hawkins & Love Center Choir’s music video, released in 1998, entitled, “Love Alive V - 25th Anniversary Reunion”, helped me through some of my most challenging times. My favorite song by him is called “Marvelous”. Rest in peace, Bishop Walter Hawkins! Your music lives on in my life!

[drob619]

Thank you for putting this up, it's my favorite song ever, and always puts me in the right spirit!

[MrTritone]

Excellent!! Very smooth editing at 1:20 seconds...check out the change in apparel and the tempo is slightly different....still awesome!

[trixlovechild]

yeah....I actually liked the editing too...The band plays exactly like the original recording.....

[JMTGeorge]

Awesome... Do you know which Church they recorded this at? My mother used to sing at Ephesian COGIC in California with Walter.

After you have gone through some things and see how our GOD delivers us OUT OF THEM ALL...all that is left to say is THANK YOU LORD!! Only those who have come through some things by the HIS GRACE, can truly appreciate and relate to this song. no matter how old it may be

[trinibadboy92]

Classic!...we sang this today at my church!!

[Scparker91]

Love the song...but did they record this song twice, because I noticed that at about 1:22 when the frame Changed Yvette Flounder was in a different outfit.

[529068]

Yes it was recorded on 2 nites, alot of live recordings are.

[zeljr]

@529068 Also the 2nd part is a little slower than the 1st....

[mee2]

@529068 It was probably such a big hit that they had to do it again. lol. Probably couldn't get through it all the first night.

[Stefan990]

to Scparker91:

A lot of recordings are done on more than one night because one night a song may be recorded better than the other night.

[ljpoole]

@Scparker91 I notice the whole scene (the choir and band too)..

[GMANKOOL23]

@Scparker91 you can also tell, because the volume gets louder at 1:21

[wilsonmjw2001]

Wow, I thought that the Mississippi Mass Choir first sang this

[An0mali]

I LOVE MY BISHOP!!!

[musicdrumer01]

THANK YOU LORD!!! All God wants is a Thank You! He's taken care of me better than I could have done myself! Even though this song's been out for a long time, the message in the song is still the same, especially now when it seems like everything bad that could happen is.

[naomidga]

Funny how this song was recorded so many years ago and it's still so fitting with everything going on today. I absolutely love this song!

[valdobbs30]

@naomidga Yes, I was thinking that same thing..and as of today, 7/21/2010 - God is awesome....
