Karen Clark Sheard "Only What You Do For Christ Will Last"

[tbensonc]

Yeah Bettina Pennon does have the best version.

[curVature30]

Don't y'all love how after she gets through from putting a hurtin' on that microphone, she humbly walks away? Classic!

[flcogicboy]

Bettina Pennon has the best version of this on here

[minstrbanks]

I love the way GOD has blessed Mrs. Sheard. She has a special annointing that transcends ethnicities. I've had many encounters with her in person and she is a humble lady, It makes her a beautiful lady inside and out. May the Lord Jesus continue to bless you Karen.....

[calvin60616]

Karen is cool but I gotta give this one to Kim Burrell, Kim did this waay better!!

[kmaur21]

1:28 I like her vibrato right there amazing phrasing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[uhavechrist]

whenever, I get flipped out on myself - I am reminded of this.....

[sweetshooz]

Too many vocal acrobrats.

[ant2019]

Kim burrell will never in life beable to touch KCS no matter how hard she trieds

and in that goes for anyone else... THE QUEEN OF GOSPEL

[COGICBrotha]

Sang Karen! I love this woman's voice! Very unique!!

SN: I love Dorinda's hat on her! She looks great!! Mattie Moss Clark Jr. Lol!

[MrDupree04]

Call Me ole Skool buut I love this song and Karen blew it out the box....I love the Clark Sisters all five of them and I dare not forget Dr. Mattie Moss Clark

[mdmr2005]

Karen sang the juice out of that song!! I don't have a problem with the missed word at the start, she got the ones that COUNT just right when her help (THE HOLY GHOST) came in!!!

She's human, YET obviously quite annointed!!!

[grace777d]

I think at this point she does not have to concentrate on runs; she has been singing for decades. That is just the way she sings. It should be quite natural at this point. She sings with ease. She runs away from the mike because she is quiet and shy unless she is singing or speaking.

[Vocellist2010]

@grace777d nah she backs away from the mic because she is aware of how loud she can be.

[Vocellist2010]

@grace777d my bad I read the last part of your response wrong.

[fossilkid4life]

hahaha i love me some Karen but she did not end in the right key and she ran away from that mic way too fast for me lol I looked up and she was gone lol. This is so good, I love how she doesn't leave any blank spots. Her voice just fills the song.

[Vocellist2010]

I love when she ends it by changing the key like that...amazing

[jessicalm145]

i had to come back to this!!

[Leeesamsta]

Totally ANOINTED!!!

[123hogc]

There's nobody like her! She the best and God knows it! He gave it to her!

[6128387]

at the beggining it looks like a lamp shade on her head

[Kevzdesire]

Umm, just at the beginning .. LOL.  ... she is a beast though. Just amazing.

[shay6261]

@6128387 the one that my grandmother had on that lamp in the hall way...lol...lol...

[drfretboard]

@6128387 Looks like Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.

[zareahbrown]

did you see how thru numbers 10 thru 33 her big sista dorinda was giving her encouragement by shaking her head and listening i lve that

[jaycrumb16]

Karen no she can mess up some words. "You build skyscrapers of your past. " lol. But she can do that cause she so powerful.

[dadreamzworld]

Remember its not her with the power especially if its the annointing.. People need to stop giving man the glory and give it to God where all good and perfect gifts come from get over the comparing!~

[liftimyall]

Bless be God for your comment.

[dadreamzworld]

Do you know Jesus? Apparently you don't especially if you are saying how good one is over the other. Karen's mother is the only one who could sing in her day anyone could have trained Vanessa!~

[shay6261]

@jaycrumb16 no , she can do that b/c she focusing on them RUNS and not the words..lolo......lol

[shay6261]

@jaycrumb16 No, she focusing on those RUNS ! NOT the words ...lol... you know the Runs are more important than the words in this hour! its sad but its TRUE!

[mdmr2005]

Actually, only God 'hands out the annointing' some people have it and others don't. We hear it clearly, so, we simply acknowledge it.

If we didn't, it would still be the truth any how!!!!

Karen has been singing praises to God since she was a child. She and her sisters resisted the lure of the money and cash of the secular music industry and has devoted her life to one purpose, singing God's praises.

That faithfulness and the life she lives is what we're hearing when she sings!

[bird2068]

go head

[bird2068]

go head you is clean

[uhavechrist]

Hell the spiders are probably running out of there webs after that song - They're probably fasting in the cracks...

[MusicianOfGod]

Sang Karen!She is so anointed and I love her(she is my favorite singer).Karen got me wanting to shout.She betta SANG!!!

[themanuwishuhad]

I love Karen!!!! But I just realized that she forgot the lyrics at the beginning, she said "u may build a skyscrapper of your past" she did it with such ease...like it was nothin! U betta sang Karen!

[SexiAzzDyme]

Dorinda look like a bobble head sittin over there she just keep movin here head like its loose or to heavy

[jessicalm145]

haha hehe thats dorinda!!

[melodic21]

ROTFL! Sisters screaming in the spirit:-). That is classic. Lol- but all jokes aside-dont talk about karen:-).

[shesherocksdude]

Sang first lady! God I miss GEI.

[mrtyroneb]

I think Karen Clark-Sheard and Patti Labelle should go on tour together. Call it "Sisters Screaming in the spirit"

[sureboy76]

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AnthonyMarkT]

You betta leave her hat alone! She's stylin' and listen to that voice!!!

[mrtyroneb]

I have a punch bowl just like the one Karen is wearing. We'll be using it at our family christmas dinner tonight.

[themanuwishuhad]

Everytime... her voice captivates me

[mrtyroneb]

Sorry for the typo...I meant ENTERTAIN NOT INTERTAIN...LOL

[mrtyroneb]

I'm so dead! Sorry all of yall "Karenholics" but the truth is the truth! I guess I need to hire security now, huh?

[powerinpraise2000]

Im a Karenaholic but I think that we should all be able to seperate personal taste from "anointing" if you don't understand all that Karen is doing that's on you, but don't accuse the called and anointed of the Lord of not having the mantle which they're given. Keep your mouth off Karen. Thanks

[mrtyroneb]

Wow! Well, I call it as I see it! I know one thing, we all better stop being so wrapped up, tied up, and tangled up in so-called celebrity(The Clark Sisters) and get to know Jesus. Gospel music at large is about entertainment these days and the Clark Sisters are the opening and closing act! I pray all of you Clarkaholics spend as much time in your bible as you do posting videos, going bonkers, goo goo and gah gah over them.

[powerinpraise2000]

And I LOVE LOVE LOVE Vanessa Bell. But she has her unique style and Karen has her unique style. I'm not saying that one is better. And Vanessa CLEARLY infuses less actual scripture in her music, nor is she a lisenced evangelist. No slight to Vanessa, just facts. It has nothing to do with me being a Clark a holic, I'm just defending the Lord's anointed. Vanessa is anointed, and Karen is anointed. Can we just leave it at that?

[mrtyroneb]

How do you know who is or is not a licensed evangelist? Many people "CALL" or give themselves titles today, which makes a mockery out of God! Bottom line...you don't need to defend anyone! If her ministry is what you're trying to convince me it is, her annointing will stand on its own! And on that note...Thank you for "coming out" God bless you, goodnite!

[shay6261]

@mrtyroneb Finally ! somebody is talking like they know Jesus !!!

[mrtyroneb]

Note to Karen---if you really want to know how to sing runs and rifts, scales, and other vocal acrobatics, don't be too proud to ask Vanessa Bell to train you. She is truly off the chart!! You are obviously capable of doing them, but what seperates you and vanessa is that she does all of her stuff and maintains the annointing. In your case, the annointing is lost in your trying to impress and intertain.

[Sc0rpion]

No I don't think there is anything Vannessa Bell can teach Karen that she can't already do AND better too. ROTF. VBA barely has a voice these days. Karen brings forth the Spirit every time she sings and souls are being save in the midst. Myself and others can testify to that first hand. And what does "intertain" supposed to mean? lol

[cogic4eva]

lol now this is gut wrenching funny!! i love Evangelist Sheards voice and ministry just like everyone else here and she has blessed my life as well, but for you to say that Vannessa Bell Armstrong barely has a voice now clearly shows that you are out to lunch lol.

[mrtyroneb]

VBA barely has a voice these days!! Please stay out of the liquir cabinet! You have got to be joking! VBA is the real deal...and you know it. Both are gifted in their own right and both have their own flare for the dramatics. Put the Hennessey back in the cabinet, fella! lol

[mrtyroneb]

Oops, my bad! See what you have me doing....spelling like you're thinking...way off base! I meant "liquor" lol

[sc154251]

Bless your heart. People kill me with this "anointing" plea....like they are God's administrative assistant and specifically handed it out to who they felt should have it. my my my *SMH*

[HaliB75]

It doesn't come and go. Either you have the anointing of God on your life or you don't. Now maybe folks mean "the unction". The unction of the anointing can come and go but the anointing stays on our lives.

[DrSarcasm3]

you responded to me but I mentioned nothing about it "coming and going"

[shay6261]

@sc154251 Amen to that!!!!

[jaycrumb16]

yes vanessa can run. But it was karen's mom DMMC that trained both of them. You can't compare the two. If ne thing Karen has range over Nessa. And Karen keeps the anointing. Remember well in case you didn't know Karen and the sisters where not even allowed to sing if they did not have the anointing. And I KNOW they STILL practice that discipline. They will not sing or preach if they don't have the anointing.

[niglissa]

JESUS!  WOW!!!

[jlawandak]

Oh my lord what can I say about the infamous Karen Clark Sheard, I have been a fan my entire life!!!! (literally)!! There is something about when she opens her mouth and belts out the notes of all different ranges and make them harmonize and blend that sends shivers down my spine!1 She and her sisters are truly "Blessed and Highly Favored!!!"

[jessicalm145]

all i can say is GLory to GOd for that voice.

[upt3rd]

KAREN U SONG FROM UR BELLY GIRL

[MYKEYS3]

You may build a cathedral large or small. May build a skyscraper grand and tall. you may conquer all of the failures of your past. Remeber what you do for christ will last. Only what you do for him will be counted in the end. only what you what you do for christ will last

[justwannaluvyababy]

I really can't believe that GROWN ASS MEN actually sat here and discussed the fashion of two of Gods greatest singers and weather or not she forgot the words to the song WHO CARES this is about ministry and i don't see neither one of yall on youtube or any other tube blessing Gods people so lets so being petty and grow the hell up and please if u have any comments and want to discuss this further please feel free to hit me up on yahoo at justwannaluvyababy we can do it right

[nautica115]

What a voice...sick

[122624]

How can some of you be so petty and critical? What do you gain by demeaning someone? it doesn't matter that she forgot the words. However she does remember "that only what you do for Christ will last." Which is her only point. AMEN!

[ministatev]

Powerful Woman of God Karen voice is very annointed.

Sista sure can wear a hat can't she.luv her !

[tdog2132]

I Just Love the Power of her voice... theirs no one like it.. alot of people can sing and do runs.. but Karen has the Holy Ghost!

[roycey32]

she don't know her words

[jessicalm145]

what do you mean by that?

[roycey32]

build a scyscraper of your past is the first line she says...she don't know her words...that's what i mean.

[everascendingworship]

wow, i would have never noticed that if i didnt scroll down to see what yall were talkin bout. but yeah, those are the wrong words. lol. but she still sang that song to life!

[MoSvivor]

Can you please send me the right words? I can't remember all of them.

[MoSvivor]

Nevermind. I got them.

[QJBDALLAS]

You might be right, but she slaying a lot of kids who do know them...lol I'm sure even you...lol Her voice can't be reckoned with...sorry, so leave you negative comments off this page with this ANNOINTED WOMEN OF GOD!!!!

[roycey32]

whatever my friend... saying she doesn't know her words is not negative, it's just saying she don't know the words. That's all, goodness.

[Twinkiefan19791]

I'm telling ya'll that is Jesus under that outfit(cause you can't see a face), lol. , straight up!! This video kept me from quitting my church job, no lie. The intensity in her voice could only come from someone who has lived through some fire, some persecution, pain, heartache.

[everascendingworship]

i love how she sends the saints in then walks off like nothin happened. lol. thats diva-style all the way. lol

[QJBDALLAS]

You are so right...her fashion is continuously getting better too. Who do you this dress better out of her and Dorinda?

[everascendingworship]

Thats a HARD ONE! Dorinda gives it to u when it comes to the high collars and long skirts wit trains and stuff, but Karen will give you a suit and hat that will send you to the third heaven. lol! i think Karen got it when it comes to church, Dorinda when it comes to performance!

[QJBDALLAS]

Well Dorinda has always been the best dressed and it was so good to see Karen to finally even dress better than her (at time..lol) She made me so proud of her and SHE IS KILLIN THE KIDS IN THE FASHION WORLD.. I think Twinkie is about to start giving them a run for there money, she is a lot smaller now and even RAN on that Juanita Bynum show...lol I LOVE IT !

[everascendingworship]

wait, i didnt see that, Twinkie RAN?!? please say that is on youtube!

[Decaw]

Yes it is, and on my myspace...lol Look me up..Quincey Boston...Dallas, TX. It is awesome!!!!!

[1marium]

You can say that again, I can't wait untill Twinkie bust out.

[tkj1985]

I can't watch this video!

[XtremePraiser]

Sang First!!!!!

[tra1993]

This video wont play

[pokie82]

I know I've heard it from somewhere, just don't know where.

[pokie82]

Her run at 1:15 almost got the best of her lol; cause yall can't tell me she wasn't about to sing another song... that's why 1:23 compensated for that

[clark8301]

I thought that was nice at 1:15

[pokie82]

it sticks to my mind.

[sephyr2006]

the run at 1:15 is one that people practice now a day to do in their songs and she just did impromptu. God knows she is just crazzzzzzzzzzy!!! This is one of my favorite solos from her!

[symplywords]

My LAWD!

[thelordscall]

Please take a moment to watch My videos if they touch Your HEart please pass them On....God Bless You...

[bigmamahattie]

[NJNupe1911]

ONE WORD...LORD! That woman is the greatest voice in music PERIOD!

[minister4god]

I know thats right her voice is just um thank god for her to minister to the world......

[boonse]

Sang Karen!

[TheReddOne]

She almost took me out of here with this! I almost didn't make it! That was AMAZING! It's to be expected from a Clark sister. GOD has given them tremendous gifts.

[Sisqo0384]

[myfanclub5]

[andreln]

thank you Lord

[MoSvivor]

I absolutely, positively LOVE when Karen sing traditional songs. She makes them her own. Hence this. She KILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! Goodness

[MoSvivor]

My goodness. I LOVE when Karen sangs traditional stuff too. She makes it her VERY own. This is a keepsake!!!!1

[TitusJackson]

I just love to hear her sing traditional stuff

[Sc0rpion]

Same here!! I want her to do more traditional churchy-like songs (i.e. Couldn't Tell It, Its Not Over, etc)& other old hymns. You reading this, Karen!?! LOOOL
