[Lyme70]

An all time classic. It will be a classic 100 years from now. One of those truly rare anointed ageless gems that will always stand the test of time. This song is 21 years old - who would know it? And it still draws the same reactions from worshipers.

[amarige25]

[Whyusaydat1]

@RavenlucJanie, I haven't been here for a few weeks but logging on I was greeted by your kind words. Thank you so much for thinking of me and saying that. I'm still going through the storm, but I know one day, it'll finally start to wane, either that or I will learn to withstand the rain. Whatever the case, I've got to keep pushing. I absolutely have no other choice.

[1ziyalove]

I sing this song in my choir and i truly needed to hear this without singing and i know that there is know one like god that can get me through two funerals in the same week

[rimagirlme1]

Thank you Anointed321. I try to ambulate her vocal skills all the time, I'm not quite there yet, but in the shower, I am Ms. Lacrethian Campell. LOL! If this appears more than once, it's because, I was hitting the wrong keys, LMHO {(;*)}.......

[rimagirlme1]

Thank you Anointed321, I am trying to amulate her vocal skills, I'm not quite there, but in the shower, I am Ms. Lacrethian. LOL! Thank you, and have a good day.

[rimagirlme1]

Thank you, anointed321. I practice all the time trying to ambulate her vocal skills, I'm not quite there, but in the shower, I am the fabulous Ms. Lucretia, LOL! Thank you.

[rimagirlme1]

Isn't that Lacrethia Campell singing lead. The best Sorprano, besides me.

[Anointed321]

@rimagirlme1 Yes that is her

[edoc215]

@rimagirlme1 lecresia is the best soprano PERIOD! if you were better than her you would have signed with a label long ago... #thatisall

[lonewarrior36j]

all i can say is wow, he is excellent!!!

[Pianosuga08]

Them kids sure can sing, amen! How Excellent is that name which is above all names.

[Whyusaydat1]

Up at 4 a.m. listening to the songs of Gospel, deeply In need of some inspiration and guidance from the Ultimate, the Omnipotent, the only true and living God. I know, I know, I know, he is the one, the only one that can see me through this current storm, his way is perfect. It can be no other way anyway. For he is EXCELLENT!

[RavenlucJanie]

@Whyusaydat1 Hang in there...you'll get through this current "midnight hour" soon, just like you have before.

[warriorogod]

This is the real gospel! We need more of this.

[forevahamber]

I sang this song so many times with my choir growing up , and every time I hear it , the tears never cease from falling.

[313XTC]

@forevahamber myself included. I wished my church would still sing this song and I have yet to hear them do it.

[pat5815]

There's NONE who can EXCEL His Mercies, Love & Grace...........NONE, NONE, NONE in ALL d Earth!!!!!!

[SynAmon03]

My choir sings this song and it just raises the praise that much higher during service. HOW EXCELLENT IS THY NAME!!! HALLELUJAH!!!

[stinnette1]

His name is excellent it is in the Bible that no one shall have a name above his. I always felt that it is wrong for us humans to name a child Jesus he shall have that name alone for at the name of Jesus every knee shall bend,every head shall bow and every tongue shall confess that he is Lord and this song says it all and the 8 people that said they don't like it I think the devil was in them

[159753emman]

Praise HIm #thatIsAll

[christielov58]

This is choir singing at it's finest! This choir is ON IT! EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT! and He is excellent! There's NONE like JESUS! Wooooooooooo!
