[a22793]

Before I went away for college my grandma myself and her friends used to go evey Sunday Afternnon at three pm in My hometown of ChicaGO NOW IM iN nASVILLE TN AT FISK UNIVERSITY

[ss7joy]

Awesome!!! I Love it! God is Awesome...Weeping may... BUT JOY!!!

[shortypraise06]

I love this clip.... What a powerful move of God through Sog.. Min Ballard,,, Keep letting God bless you....from Lafayette, Louisiana we love you.... God bless GHMBC....Love when Pastor Thomas the leader is bless through music that he gets his dance in......LOVE YA

[bamagirl4real]

No, that can't be COGIC, cause a choir member wouldn't dare drink some water (3:27) while singing...LOL

[Pianoman42100]

@bamagirl4real I am the Minister of Music at my church, and I don't even allow that during the service. They can either get a drink of water before they get lined up to march in, or they wait until they come out of the choir stand...IF the Pastor tells them to come out of the choir stand.

[organist1051]

haha they don't need no track!!!

[Hunter151000]

ALL THEM TAMBOURINE PLAYERS.DONT WORRY IM AOTHER 1

[harrisr24]

I checked out the website months ago, when I first seen this video. They are baptist by name, but the foundation that it was built upon is holiness. I believe they used "baptist" as a term being baptized with the Holy Ghost. This church definitely KNOWS how to have church though! I love it!!!

[Judahboi]

It's really hard to believe this is a baptist church! Bless the Lord! I must visit soon!!!

[watupijm]

Killin tge wash board

[organist1051]

who is this by

[TheShoutingjohn83]

OKAY is this CHURCH REALLY BAPTIST....THIS LADY JUST SAID LET THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST SAY AMEN.....I believe every church should be in Christ so maby that's what she ment...never the less they BETTER GO IN!!!!!!!!! AND BLESS HIS NAME!!!!!!

[TheShoutingjohn83]

I love how the announcer lady gets happy!!!!!! aint to high and important to praise!!!!! Go head!!!!!

[musiker247]

@BrotherWilliams565 Sounds like she said COGIC to me...

[RevPDS20]

can we say baptistcostal 

[RevPDS20]

I to love this church music ministy and I must agree it is distracting to see whispering and drinking while all supose to be involed but however sing chior and the minister of music mannnnnnn sing lady and continue to be a blessing

[0majors0]

I love this church and music ministry. Which is why I think that woman whispering behind the tamborine while the song was being sung and the woman that stopped everything on the front row of the choir stand to drink a glass of water should be thrown out of the choir. This music ministry deserves better than that. Other than that, great song, great leader, great band and great choir.

[SexyBlack111]

*pulls out my tambourine and whistle*

[BrotherWilliams565]

And people say the Baptist Church isn't sanctified!!!!!!!! Stretch out on his word!!

[cogicboi1973]

Did she say "LET THE CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST SAY AMEN"???

[musiker247]

@cogicboi1973 That's sure what it sounds like to me...

[Godsgirl506]

I love this! I have to hear it at least once a day. Thank God for this choir and this song.

@peachezz3434 My pleasure!! Go head and get your shout on. My church choir is doing this on Sunday, and I am doing the lead.

[peachezz3434]

Oh thank you so much. I love this song.

[peachezz3434]

Hello can somebody tell me what she is saying in the 1st verse? It sound like she is saying ( When days are dark and I got him on my side, I hold and I learn to stretch out). Thanks.

[Pianoman42100]

@peachezz3434 When days are dark, and clouded are my skies, I hold on and learn to stretch out.

[harriscm1]

wow, that lady Ministered this song!!! And they better have a choir stand full of tambourines and washboards! Glory. And that lady straight pulled up a glass of water in the middle of the song,haha!

[baptistabro]

How many washboards they got up in there????? I remember here in Cleveland, Ohio at Williams Temple Church of god in Christ, there used to be a woman named Mother Cason who used to beat a HUBCAP in church!

[Pianoman42100]

@baptistabro If I counted right, I THINK 5-6.

[swanstew]

The Washboard!!!! YESSSS!!! Love it!!!

[sterlingd05]

I want to know where the COGIC came from in this church lol I see to many tambourines, washboards, steps and dips....lol

[cdjblue52]

@sterlingd05 Greater Harvest has had a touch of COGIC for as long as I can remember....and that's a long time...lol!!! GO HEAD!

[sterlingd05]

@cdjblue52 I can tell!!! Because when I was listening and they went straight into that COGIC praise break run, the War Cry, and then Yes Lord!!!! Man I tapped my COGIC feet off!!!! Them Baptist better go ahead!!!

I've been directing choirs for over 35 years, and this choir is killing me. I mean I am screaming- the multitudes of tamborines, the washboards, the conversation in the midst of the song (talking behind a tamborine), sis on the front row turing to drink water, and the musicians that are not watching the director (missed the transition every time) - all in the same choir. And the song still worked!!!! I love it!!!!!! Too much!!!! LOL! Sang Ya'll!!!!!

[nikki6675]

Can someone tell me what the words are to the first verse? Please

[matthew5and9]

@nikki6675

When troubles come and storms begin to rise, Hold on and learn to stretch out

Oh keep on fasting keep on praying, Hold on and learn to stretch out

When satan get on your track, And tries to turn me back

I won't worry, i won't fret i just stretch out,

When days are dark and cloudy are my skies, I hold on and learn to stretch out

Oh keep on fasting, keep on believing, Hold on and learn to stretch out

[matthew5and9]

@nikki6675

Cause the race isn't given to the swift, Neither is it given to the strong

But to him that endureth to the end, Stretch out, oh stretch out

When i am lost, when i am sad, Jesus is there, he'll make me glad

The lord won't decieve you, The lord he won't leave you

[XtremePraiser]

[momma4981]

I LOVE this video, where is this at, those tambourines off the chain. I never seen so many at one time.....It looks good to see a man beat a tambourine...where is this church located? and the ladies in the audience with the hats on I LOVE IT! IS this apostolic, or what denomination although it doesn't matter, do it for the Lord!!!

[iNerdyEBoo]

@momma4981 5141 s. state street.... And the name is Greater Harvest Missionary Baptit Church... But we're all in one.... My daddy is the pastor, Elder Eric Thomas

[wcta0608]

@iNerdyEBoo - This is one of my fav songs (old school COGIC) and ur daddy is one of my very fav organist/musicians. Bigs ups to Greater Harvest and Pastor Thomas

[laddy819]

@momma4981 Greater Harvest is known for being a Tambourine church. I love to take mine there. No one looks at you funny when you pull it out because every other person has one. Those ladies in the flat top White hats are the Missionaries, Deaconesses and church Mothers. The ladies in flat top Blue hats are the evangelists.

[Pianoman42100]

@laddy819 I would LOVE to have the words and the music to this song. Do have any idea where I can find it?

[laddy819]

@Pianoman42100 I don't know all of the words of this song. I believe Institutionalkid would have that info for you. He's a member of the church that originally recorded this song in Brooklyn, NY.

[PrazHymn83]

I know I just wrote something like 39 seconds ago, but I'm BACK!! This video alone makes me want to visit this church!! THIS is how you set the Pastor up to preach!! The atmosphere is SET and the church is smoking!! I LOVE IT!!

[PrazHymn83]

Yes, LAWD!!!! That woman is givin us 200% on this thing!! God bless her!! After this, I'm persuaded to stretch out!!!! The musicians are killin it too....including the washboard in the choir loft. LOL!!

[Institutionalkid]

After all these years.. this song still works!!

[Atldarknight]

@Institutionalkid - ... STILL

[hearYeThaWord]

My God! Just ran across this and OMG! All I can say is, YES LORD!!!!

[Nikeliza1]

[vocalvessel]

@matthew5and9, I DO DOC! OMG I DO! And that DANCE she had! Whew!

[matthew5and9]

@vocalvessel YES SIR. If you ever got a transfer of that anointing through her hugs....WHOOSH!!!!!

[apostolic660]

[matthew5and9]

How many people remember Debra Brown singing this in the old church? Wow, this takes me back.

[Pianoman42100]

@matthew5and9 I remember it well!!! Talk about havin' CHUCH!!
