my grandfather was a minister who loved to sing and play this on the piano in church. as he was passing away in icu i played this to him and i could tell he wanted to sing and rejoice. great song . i love u papaw
From a man, me, that cannot carry a tune in a bucket, I feel this music in my heart and sing it in my spirit with these singers. They sing exactly the way I would love to be able to sing to my Father God and elder brother Jesus. In fact, I pray I can praise them this way for eternity, EXACTLY like these singers, ALL of them.
Hahahaha! I hadn't got to 2:15 yet when I made that first comment. The one at 2:15 was spectacular! Really laughed that time! Thanks again!!!!!! And then we get David! wooo hooooo!!!!!
Wow! This really gave me a good chuckle at 1:00 when Stephen did his little glissando - tickled. I haven't heard him before but I liked him right off when I heard him slither down to the tonic. That was definitely a little tickle. Thanks again, Hoover!
The thing is, yes it's an F, but it's not in full voice. That's a reinforced falsetto. Listen to the difference in timbre between the other notes he hits leading up to it and the F. Totally different.
Stephen Hill makes me smile. When he's just in the background singing with the group he doesn't show any emotion but when he has a solo piece he sings with a ton of character.(: OneKewpie
strzalka 211 ...search on google wikipedia .."david phelps" and there talks about his voice and there it is written.. the lowest note ever recorded by him is E2 in Just as I am ...and the highest note is F5 from " when God dips his love" ..(take a look)
I have the feeling as if all souls of the whole continet of America sang this song in united together as a holy christian nation.. oh America what has become of you..
yeah.....thick whistle register. Flageolet as they call it. Most of the time he's living in thick middle voice and high mix. But that's rad. I can't cry hard enough and hold that much weight in that register to make it sound full. It's all about the cry.
Well whatever note it is, it was INCREDIBLE, and much better than ANYTHING I could have ever done! David Phelps is one of my favorite singers, and I really don't care what those say about whether or not it's an F or a D, David is using his incredible talent to bring honor and glory to the lord! And I admire him for that! Use what God gives you! :)
wow, three years this video has been posted and people are still debating about the F5 note, or saying (or in some cases boasting) about hitting the voice in full voice. First off, if you focus so much on what notes he hits, you've totally missed the point of the song. Second, those of you that boast of high you can sing, I'm frankly quite tired of it, its complete arrogance. Sorry if I stepped on toes, it just bothers me. Be thankful what God has given you, He gave you the gift, use it.
@singitagainjoe25 Amen! I doubt God cares about the notes, this is a beautiful and amazing song and it touches my heart, makes me yearn for Heaven. Thank you for getting people back on track on what the meaning of this song really is.
@LYRICTENORHIGHF I went to your channel for a listen, and was able to easily confirm that David's F5 is both fuller in voice and power than your C5's or D5's. That's just how amazing David is. Keep at it though.
David Phelps is also a classical Lyric Tenor. He also has more humility and see's his voice as a gift from God. According to your posting, I'd say you posses either!
@LYRICTENORHIGHF I'm sure God appreciates you calling his praise through beautiful singing and worship crap. It doesn't matter who hits certain notes, the only thing that matters is worshiping God.
@LYRICTENORHIGHF Such a Christian attitude you have. I doubt God would call his songs of praise "crap", but you do what makes you feel good. Thank you for posting this song, they are the most amazing singers I've ever heard. Such a blessing from God.
I knew it was F5 by the way everyone sings it. How the basses resonate a good "Hallelujah", and how David sings the other parts. I always listen to him that I have an idea of how high a note is just by listening to his voice. Plus, I have good relative pitch and sometimes absolute pitch. :-)
if it was his head voice he wouldnt have needed that much effort and support to produce the sound plus the fact it lacked vibrato, definately his full voice and wow.
oh:)) a little F5 there...in full chest voice listen to the slide down...and is not the only F5 that i hear from him:D...that's not head voice:) and in the song "just as i am" there's a C# not even a D
noup that note from just as i am ...it's a C#5 ....here in this song the highest note is F5!! listen from 3:46 to 3:50 :D he can't do that in present:D hes struggle at C#
David Phelps' voice is always amazing, but he was at his best here at the Ireland concert in my opinion. Other songs at this event featuring David include 'Singin' with the Saints,' 'Child You're Forgiven' and I''ll Fly Away.'
yup, definitely an f. Also definitely head voice...very strong head voice, but head voice all the same. I think david's highest full-voice note is Eb5, that's the big one he slides up to in "just as i am" if you want to listen.
@RandomZydeco the one in just as i am is Db , and i'm sorry to dissapoint you'all, but david is using mix all the time, just as wes...wes told me this at a concert.....though a mix like phelps' is unique
lol. I feel really bad for Stephen Hill in this video. He's a got a nice voice, but David schools him so hard. lol. His face at 3:30 ish is hilarious. XD
And that's definitely a High F. It's thin and WAY less resonant than the rest of his performance here, but it's there.
It's not full voice (chest) but head voice with some falsete I guess.
It's not phisically possible for a man to make a full (chest) voice in that range. The late and great Pavarotti did a C5, full voice and was front page in every news paper!!
The not is indeed an F. However, it is sung in Davids head voice and not his chest voice. He is such a trained artist that he can seamlessly go from one to the other without notice.
I don't know.....seems like Christians would be rejoicing over the meaning of the song rather than the note the singer is or isn't hitting....But that's just me...
The great part is, I was drinking coffee and didn't know about the last high note and it scared me half to death. I screamed and almost dropped it! God bless you David to continue to use your gift for His glory!!! And an awesome job by Rex Nelon I must say!! I can really hear him! When God blesses, He blesses!
These people are incredible !! I believe that was the 20th steps up from middle C that David hit !! A very high F. WOW ! And what a picer-upper song too. !
I LOVE THIS SONG, I LOVE THIS SONG, I LOVE THIS SONG. BOTH STEPHEN AND DAVID HAVE BEAUTIFUL VOICES. This song touches to the soul of a person. Praise God for any and all who will lift up our Lord and Savior. To God be the Glory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that guy in the mustard suit staring at him at about 2:56 going "what the heck" and then he rocks the F5 just to say, "you ain't seen nothin' yet buddy" unbelievable voice! If he sang anything but Gospel he'd be world famous. Comendable on his part to use his gift for God's glory and not cash in like so many others have in the past.
Yes that is funny. I keep watching that part and that gentlemen kinda just sits there looking... I said this before I would imagine on solo parts it is easy to forget your turn watching Phelps sing.. so amazing a voice.
that has to be the highest note i have ever heard a guy hit without going into his falsetto. I can barely hit it in my falsetto, but i AM a bass, lol.
hahaha, the guy sitting to David Phelp's right was like "what the heck.... OH SNAP IM SUPPOSE TO SING! RIGHT! tell it to a living soul! how it brought salvation when it makes me whole"
ROFL!!! I just noticed that.... but I would imagine that most that sit next to David Phelps become like folks in the audience. Simply listening to those great pipes of his.
you know, after poking around on youtube, I'm surprised that this hasn't been brought up. Has anyone noticed that this song is basically plagiarism of "Just a Little Talk with Jesus?" Or is it supposed to be the same tune? The melody is almost exactly the same. Unless it is meant to be sung to a similar tune, with credit given to Cleavant Derricks, in which case I apologize.
Hoover, is this from the Irish Homecoming? I live in Ireland, I think I recognise the place where it was filmed- it is the Belfast Metropolitan Tabernacle?
I get something new everytime I watch this! Look at 3.00, I love David's wee vocal trill. Also, just before David's first sustained note, it looks like he has just kicked Gloria, and at the end of that sustained note, look at the guy to his left in the mustard yellow jacket. Awesome. I love David, he is fantastic. And the HIGH NOTE!?! wow
there is a video on here on a all bass quartet...imagine an all tenor group up ernie haase, david phelps, danny funderburk, and either stephen hill, kirk tally, wes hampton or jay parrack....thatd be a HECK of a cd!!
Hahahaha that bass is the polar opposite of David Phelps :P
And, I like it that at some parts people just look at David like: dammit, you do this all the time, stop upstaging us!
Is it just me or does he seem like one of the people who sings ALL THE TIME out of nowhere? I have a friend in choir like that who is good, but dammit he just sings non-stop.
But, all in all, wow Phelps is amazing and thank you for the video.
i know what you mean bout he pops from knowhere lol....look at the dvd "heaven" the last song on tha he just stands up and blasts one out from knowhere lol...awesome

that has to be the highest note i have ever heard a guy hit without going into his falsetto. I can barely hit it in my falsetto, but i AM a bass, lol.

ROFL!!! I just noticed that.... but I would imagine that most that sit next to David Phelps become like folks in the audience. Simply listening to those great pipes of his.

qwertyjuan 3 years ago
you know, after poking around on youtube, I'm surprised that this hasn't been brought up. Has anyone noticed that this song is basically plagiarism of "Just a Little Talk with Jesus?" Or is it supposed to be the same tune? The melody is almost exactly the same. Unless it is meant to be sung to a similar tune, with credit given to Cleavant Derricks, in which case I apologize.

Hoover, is this from the Irish Homecoming? I live in Ireland, I think I recognise the place where it was filmed- it is the Belfast Metropolitan Tabernacle?

I get something new everytime I watch this! Look at 3.00, I love David's wee vocal trill. Also, just before David's first sustained note, it looks like he has just kicked Gloria, and at the end of that sustained note, look at the guy to his left in the mustard yellow jacket. Awesome. I love David, he is fantastic. And the HIGH NOTE!?! wow
markt2429 3 years ago
One of the Best David Phelps High notes! Love this video =) Min 3:46

Hahahaha that bass is the polar opposite of David Phelps :P
And, I like it that at some parts people just look at David like: dammit, you do this all the time, stop upstaging us!
Is it just me or does he seem like one of the people who sings ALL THE TIME out of nowhere? I have a friend in choir like that who is good, but dammit he just sings non-stop.
But, all in all, wow Phelps is amazing and thank you for the video.

I think about it in the way that David Phelps was kinda the workhorse of the Homecoming Team. Maybe it's just me.
