[23yourstruly1983]

Amazing vocal arrangements. Wow! Richard Smallwood is the man.

[dirrtyredd38954]

i wish i could sing with them

[MorganAmerica]

I was so there for this! I remember..

[elainefrancis1]

This is a song to be heard by all, very spiritual and moving, if you don't have a praise after hearing this song, then your soul is definitely dead.

[andrezinhaja]

GENTE E LINDO MAS EU SOU DO BRASIL E NÃO ENTENDO NADA MAIS AMEIIIII

[MrZukyee]

What are those things around those women's necks? Does it goes with the oufit? I know it's choking them.

[adrian7128794]

the lord be praise i love this to god be the glory

[2010vonn]

6.00 Her name is Cherisse Nelson, I went to school with her, she really can blow, she always used to sing in school, in the hallways, cafateria, everywhere, she was even in the school choir. I'm glad she made it.

[Tolu1994]

Wow, you know when something is on point as much as this you can only give glory to God

[SWEETRENEEB]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Booski6418]

[Blessdhands]

Love this song!!!

[Lego7StL]

Now that's hot you adlib......Charisse is tops when it comes to that.....She always takes it to another level!!!

[powerhouse23100]

And this is the OPENING song... MY GOD!!!

[Anderson69728]

Não sei pq...mas gosto dessa música. Como ficaria ela cantada por algum grupo do Brasi? Que coro poderia fazer algo semelhante a esse? rs

[theconductor2]

I love Richard Smallwood and Vision, this is a great song.

[PASTORKable]

THIS IS AWESOME THOSE WOMEN OF GOD WITH THOSE ANNOINTED VOICES JUST RIPPING IT UP FOR GOD. GLORY

[Theresa4947]

I love Richard Smallwood and Vision so much that I just purchased, yes that's right, purchased the CD to use for our flag ministry. Thank God and thank you so much for making great music!

[RenGib123]

I like Mr. Smallwood little strut.

[EENJEE]

This just blesses me so...

[cashadeful]

Charisse is blessed with such a ministry, She could start preaching in there if you let her... The other two ladies blessed God and you felt it, but I bet you really felt Charisse!!! Continue to bless God Richard, for the Lord blessed you with such a musical genius, that you could do nothing else but lift Him up!!!

[MsLashae21]

love it.

[osatmusic]

This song stirs my soul and make my heart sing. " LIFT HIM UP", all you saints.

[KCSFan4Life]

THAT LADY IN THE GOLD SUIT AND THOSE SHOULDER PADS.........

[kaylaelizabethpowell]

Richard Smallwood KNOWS he blessed God with this song. It's classical yet Gospel maintaining the correct message of who God is which is why we should praise Him. Forget the vibratos, riffing and running that's always done in Gospel music now-and-days, I'd go for this ANYDAY!!!

[SavageBunnyGirl]

This is the baddest Gospel song in history.

[15tooky]

this is a really nice song

[Ajilla316]

She really could have kept goin and slayed everybody in the room after 6:38!!!

[ZacNRyan]

The two Lady's actions at 2:40 are priceless!!!! Love this song, can't stop listening to it!!!

[TheMerelyHuman]

At 6:20, I'm in tears. I HAVE to bless His name...like, He is TOO GOOD!!!! I feel you, Charisse!!!

[Konartist28]

so awesome!

[JayBeeThree]

I know I've commented on here before, but this song is absolute GENIUS!! I absolutely LOVE Renee's voice!! She's one of the most underrated altos back there! When she comes back out for the reprise at 5:27 with her back arched, singing, "Jehovah Shalom...." to that high F# that she growls at 5:40, that just does it for me! It did something to Richard, too, because he looked back at her, as if to say, "You better sing!"

[kiddflow321]

Get Richard's new album "Promises" in stores now!

[Praise52]

Love it!!!!

[loushane1998]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

[40lancer]

[Shae194678]

[izzo84]

[praiznhym4ever]

[keishpeish]

[SOyouTHINKurFUNNY]

the last woman rip it up!!

[joicecgs]

lindo!!!! beautiful

[2KMillz]

I love this song and the arrangement is def cold! BUT I will say that the change didn't fit into the build up of the song.

[Jamaicanchocolate34]

@2KMillz That's why it is called gospel...we use the foolish things to confound the wise...thanks for fulfilling scriptures. LOL

[Clemsonshawty]

OMG.... I didn't realize that the tenors split into 2 parts at 1:30. All this time I thought(and everyone I've seen sing this song) always did 1 tenor, 1 alto, and 2 soprano parts!! WOW!

[insanecaine]

I don't like the dancers - they are not even that good. He should have hired older, more experienced professionals.

[damygeebo]

@praiznhym4ever ...wow listen to ur pussy-ass comment, lol. "dancing in the spirit!!" lmaooooo!!! #idiot

[aqu1r3]

God i love this song soooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[demk1992]

Charisse Nelson-McIntosh is my favorite!

[exsplappe]

the music of this group and a success for the glory of God. Soon my group will sing this song here in Brazil in Portuguese. q God continue to bless this group

[rubjean]

So I try to listen to these types of songs as I study. But somehow I seem to end up pretending to direct Vision instead of actually doing work. Gotta love Jesus music.

[ConstantinePerfec]

charisse roared herself right on through this song!!! Jesus Christ, folks getting converted on the adlibs

[lildesi09]

yall better sing!

praise him!

[pregzy]

VISION is one top class ensemble....the orchestra is twice their size and yet they are still so strong and crisp.

[kenyetta137]

the 2 pple tht didnt like this have issues!

[kissrk2]

OMG I am so excited I was there for this recording when I was little and now I get to perform this song with him!!! How kool is that!!!

[GrownWomanLevel]

Learning this song in gospel choir rite now. IT IS SOOO HARD TO LEARN!!! lol But i hope we can get it rite because i really, really want to.

[dwightfc]

there is extended version of this video when the name of the church is displaced, and the choir walks on stage follwed by Smallwood but i can't seem to find it anymore

[zibby78]

This song is all worship. Awesome!

[chrispleasantable]

This was track 2 from Richard's 3rd Vision album "Persuaded: Live in D.C." and was the 25th song I learned it's saying what the bible says in Psalms 150 and Psalms 34.

[xklusiveangel]

love it we are learning a praise dance to this now... we will perform it next month.... this song is beautiful.....

[ManofWorship711]

Amen!! I'm touched by the song, instruments, and dancers together!!! What a full expression of praise and worship!!!!

[Rectanglur1]

Beautiful!

[Therese100109]

the woman at 6:20 brought the holy ghost in didn't she? whoooo!

[nicowill90]

@Therese100109

I was thinking the same thing!!! lol

[shoutingjohn83]

@Therese100109 , I must say it was at 6:00 minutes when she took the mic that He CAME IN REAL STRONG and especially when she started walking with it!!!!!

[ShayeMarie77]

i love how these ladies pass the mic and dont miss a beat!

[260born]

Hey at 5:34 I believe thats Earnest Pugh on the front Row!!! "Rain on Us"

[TheNOONIE20]

lift him up.........

[jazzerjoon]

I love this choir!!!

[agapereign]

Excellent.

[212Mssassy]

There's no way I could sit still if I was there. What a Gift The Lord has given each & everyone of them. God Bless & Keep you.

[LadyDiva011]

I agree I'd be tearing some carpet up! Lol The Lord is GOOOD

[ShayeMarie77]

2:27-2:35 nothing more powerful and attractive than a man praising my Father

[unique9007]

@ShayeMarie77 lol u gotta love it

[ShayeMarie77]

2:36-2:41 wow! this is an AWESOME choir! used to be a soprano but smoking has got me at an alto lol its all good tho, i'll sing bass if i have to!

LIFT HIM UP!!

[okebaram]

@ShayeMarie77 It probably was a natural voice change that brought you to an alto, not smoking lol. That's the spirit: sing bass if you need to lol!

[mrm64]

uh i dont see people praising him! come on now people PRAISE HIM!

[Kass620]

this song is a blessing

[RenMarieAustinMusic]

I don't like ALL Gospel music, but one thing is for sure! I LOVE Richard Smallwood! Every time I hear this song it commands my soul to praise and worship!!!! The woe is me songs can go, as we coexist with trials and tribulation, but at the end of the day God and God alone reigns above all! Praise be to him. That's all that matters...

[rydaniel2004]

Wow Charisse......you know how to usher us in!

[trdxsd2010]

We already know praise and worship comes from the inside. However, if you don't want to praise and worship God while listening to this song.........I don't know what to tell you! This song has an anointing on it.....HALLELUJAH!!!!

[jcomposerj]

smallwood is the standard of gospel music

[mrchill06]

how can u dislike this song... c'mon ppl! startin early this mornin!

[royaltymajors11]

gods divine glory royalty song

[chosson76]

Awesome song! The tenors don't get a break the whole song,

[powerhouse23100]

Richard knew for sure when he gave Charisse the mic @ 6:00 all the way out that it was OVER! DO YOU HEAR ME?! IT WAS OVER, thats why he had that roundabout! SHE BLESSED THE LORD AND SHOOK UP HELL'S FOUNDATION!!!! YAAAASSS!!

[1877theflip]

You can feel the power of the song, it's energy.. How benevolent.

[komodo24able]

I was in tears when I heard charisse sing this and psalms 8... She can sing really good!!!!

[Jasmine72370]

AAAAHHHH YEESSS!!!

[MarcWeathers]

[warmlandlass1]

@MarcWeathers funny you should say that...I have saturated my home with Richard Smallwood's music for the last 10 days--takes me right to the Throne, and out of the gloom~! This music has been set afire with the Holy One's annointing~!!

[TheMerelyHuman]

Charisse's anointing is too heavy...6:00 onward just sends me in every time. I know what is coming but THE ANOINTING IS JUST TOO DESTRUCTIVE! AHHH!

[trissyton]

@heisgreatly2bpraised This is the exact recording that is on the album. Some parts of the song were cut out. You can tell if you listen all the way through the song on the album and compare it to this one.

[heisgreatly2bpraised]

@slacker0897 Thanks. I learn something new everyday.

[dwightfc]

@slacker0897 there is extended version of this video when the name of the church is displaced, and the choir walks on stage follwed by Smallwood but i can't seem to find it anymore
