  • For chuck to leave.

  • God been with us 4 a long time love jesus n he is coming back soon

  • Sure don't get much better than this, a true professional !!

  • I am Orthodox Christian (from Montenegro, Europe). But after this son I could say that rev. Greens prayer in this song would fulfill my craving for Jesus.AL IS DEFINITELY CLOSE TO JESUS AND WE COULD FEEL IT IN THIS SONG! Marry Christmas to all my brothers and sister in Christ.

  • Soul music at its Best! Al green simply beautiful!!!

  • 1:45 the drummer is going hard

  • 'I've been a fool ...disregarding your love'. If you read between the lines in Al Green's auto biography , he got high many a time in the early 70s , and then he just keeps hearing God call him all the time , just keeps on calling til he decides to give all the music up to Jesus , stops fooling around with the groupies etc etc. Jesus keep calling me away from all the shit in my life . Amen .

  • This was b4 the Illumaniti controlled the Black Entertainers. So Pure and truthfully from our Hoods.

  • i love this song . it makes me cry every time i hear it.. God is a good all the time and when you are broking down Jesus will lift you up..

  • @mjfreaklove Thankk you for that bit of info.

  • @BryandeRover you're welcome

  • thank you

  • Take 'em to church, Al

    Perfection

    YAH lives.

  • I've always loved this song...but I'm just wondering...is there anybody else who thinks its just a little too.......sexy? A friend and I were talking about how sometimes its hard to keep your mind on Jesus when you're listening to it.

  • Coke and Jesus dont fit

  • What Happened to his right arm?

  • I'm an atheist and this gives me goosebumps....

  • Jesus is waiting to kill you:Witches, kill them. Homosexuals, kill them.fortunetellers, kill them. those who don`t listen to priests, kill them. those hitting their dad, kill them. those who curse their parents, kill them, adulterers, kill them. fornicators, kill them. people who believe in other religions, kill them. non-believers,kill them. fals prohets ,kill them. blasphemers, kill them. those who work on the Sabbath, kill them. This is the word of Jesus !!

  • @ndzoko Dude...that is so Not the word of God He is a God of GRACE and MERCY...God doesn't Kill people for their sinnnnnnns he has mercy on them ..that is why they KILLED HIM!!!!!!

  • @sweetpatience54 Dude, you have no clue what`s in your bible. God ordered all those people killed. READ YOUR BIBLE. If you want me to give the verses, I will do so.

  • @ndzoko dude WTF?

  • @wdamian Read your bible, It`s all there:Deuteronomy 17:12.Exodus 22:17.Leviticus 20:13.Leviticus20:27. Exodus 21:25. Proverbs 20:20. Leviticus 20-9 Leviticus 20:10 Leviticus 21:9. Deuteronomy 13:13,19 Exodus 22:19 Deuteronomy 13:1,5.Romans 1:24,32. Exodus 31:12,15. Romans 1:24,32. Leviticus 24:10,46 Deuteronomy 22:20,21. Deuteronomy 13:7,12

  • @ndzoko Yeeeaaaaahhhh.....

  • Someone who wishes to have a different color skin is a true lost individual. One who wishes to be white makes no sense to me either e.g. Michael Jackson

  • @BryandeRover Michael had vitiligo which is a depigmentation disease meaning black skin turns to white,white spots on his skin he had those spots and the disease is progressing meaning will get worse.Stop judging whitout knowing the facts,oh and btw,if you want another proof here it is,the autopsy reports stated that he HAD Vitiligo.Stop beliving what media feeds,stop judging and start to LOVE instead of judging someone.

  • @cryslovesmusic, I live in Memphis, never been to his church. I did meet him at walgreens though.

  • This may be my favorite music video. It brings to mind so many things. It brings to mind my teen years, in my lil country hometown in SE Texas which is where I was when this song came out. It reminds me of my own struggles with spiritual ups and and downs. Then there is the unique talent of Al Green. That squeal, that voice.

    You know something, I didn't know this song existed until I heard & saw it own youtube a year or so ago. I love Al's music & all, I didn't know this existed. Oh well.

  • I wish I was black...

  • I wish I was black...

  • BRING IT WAAAaaaay down!

  • I love u Mr. Al Green. Your music will be loved by those who will never see u in person. Peace to you for the remainder of your days. Your Afrikan spirit cannot be denied.

  • A sea of Beautiful Afros! How i remember that glorious proud time in our history!!!

  • Ya'll hear that "church" organ. That's how u always know, it Al!!!

  • Brother be gettin' happy on stage. And i love his unique Squeal. Aaaahhhhh (in my Al Green's voice)...

  • Though i don't believe in the fairy tale, plagerized "Jesus" story, u can tell he was connected to the Creator, Mother Goddess/Afrikan Queen!!!! Definitely had a connection.

  • Sister on the organ takes us to "church." Brother on the Bongos' can't hardly keep his cool mid way thru the song. He was feelin' Al's Spirit. More than just a performance. It was a spiritual experience/worship.

  • The King of R&B. The Great Mr. Al Green.

  • this song is beyond beautiful. brings me to tears every time. 

  • @loversarelunatics

    And let the church...all who love Yahushua, say Amen

  • as a lifetime atheist, this is the closest ive ever been to god

  • @pooseecat God is calling on your heart my friend

  • @pooseecat I second that.

  • @pooseecat i believe you've been colser than you realize or imagine

  • @pooseecat Jesus loves you!!! Jesus is so good!!! Try him!!! :)

  • Al was so into this song. The backup vocalists are on it. The percussionists are intense; look at how the drummer is locked on to Al, just impressive. Great instrumentals all around! The audience is just mesmerized. And when I think of the power of the words, oh, glory to God!

  • This is a wonderful performance . . . a blessed man. I am glad Jesus touched his heart.

  • hot grits is waiting!

  • I see some are lovers of Jesus' Sure Return,as in this wonderful M.Gaye song!!

  • George Benson + All Green = God 4 me

  • SPEECHLESS!............I'm not sure what's more phenomenal: Al Greens performance in this video.......or the mere fact that he decided to take the Soul Train gang to "Church".........AND THEY LOVED IT! I fell in love with "Jesus Is Waiting" the very first time I heard it, in 1972. Today, 7/15/2011, marks the very first time I have ever witnessed this "Soul Train" performance. Rev. Greene's music has truly stood the test of time.......God's word & his love is truly ETERNAL!

  • @aliquippawill It wasn't hard to take it to church with 99% black people. lol We're pretty good at the church thing. haha

  • What an excellent performer.  I usually hate live versions, this is excellent.

  • Pure soul. I remember watching this as a kid.

  • in reply to sjziro Amen to that from England

  • If I lived in Memphis his is the church I would attend.

  • I love this video and song....Soul music at its finest....Jesus is waiting for you to accept him as your Lord and Savior......Al Green found his peace and so can you!

  • aahhhh

    That hit me right in the heart!!!!!!

  • HEAVENLY

  • man this gives me goose bumps, this from a middle aged longhaired white biker lol i will never not love sweet al!

  • al, al, al why you do those folk like that.......on soul train al?.....damn...pfg4life

  • one of my best loved al green songs

    

  • God certainly blessed that voice.

  • Al Green is a Blessing to all of us.

  • How you gone dislike this song

  • He is singing about Jesus and is STILL BAD ASS @777oldsoul you so right im only 20 and know to peep game from the old cats who peeped it from their elders and so on and so forth.

  • I love Al Green.

  • His voice was ALWAYS a gift.

  • Al Green...real soul from the soul x

  • Jesus is waiting!!!!!!!!!

  • I love to hear this song it gives me inspiration to keep on praying for my recover from my cancer

  • @jUjUBeans1123 i hope you get well and God bless

  • @jUjUBeans1123 Not only that "Jesus Is Waiting",He can also be your healer.

    Yes I will be praying for your recover from cancer.

  • Beautiful song from brother Al Green. The words of this song is powerful and true. Jesus is waiting. He's waiting on the right hand of God the Father. When it's time, he will rise and return here on earth, set up His Kingdom and rule. There will be peace then when Our Lord and Saviour returns. Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Thank you for this beautiful song/message brother Al.

  • No lip synching here! This man is AMAZING!

  • 777 I agree...but I'm a young soul lol

  • For the young cats, Al Green is the definition of swagger! Check Al's swag and take some notes!

  • He is sure saaanging this song!!! Go on Mr. Green with your bad self!!!

  • Should be required study for all singers. Get out your pen and paper.

  • @01yt01yt the drummers name is erin purtee..is brother invented the purtee shuffle...he is from toledo and still playin around town,,,met him today..and he told the story of this performancei may be wrong on the spelling...but thats purtee close..

  • @toledoMonster its spelled arron purdie..his brother is benard purdie...

  • @toledoMonster

    So Aaron Purdie is the background singer there ... cool to know. His brother (as you said) is Bernard Purdie and that is a cool factoid ... Bernard being the more famous of the brothers has been sampled 1000s of times and has contributed on countless records ...

  • This is a ThrowBack....LOVE IT! One of my moms favorites!

  • Regardless of religion any decent person who treats others as they would like to be treated and goes out of their way for someone in need is an amazing being. Prejudice, discrimination and intolerance are rife on this earth thanks to the zionist machine and other fools who make money and benefit from this crap. Peace to all of you who believe we are all equal and deserve the same.FREE PALESTINE!

  • Very Powerful, saw it on Soul Train and was mesmorized, fell in love . Go ahead Brother

  • This is a message from my Mom. She passed two weeks ago and I played this at her wake then my friend sent me this link out of the blue....

  • I saw this performance today on a soul train replay for the first time and I haven't stopped watching it since! Jesus will get your attention when he wants it and gets his word out by any means necessary. Got me today when I least expected it. Jesus is waiting and I pray that he has a place for me when I get there. Praise be to God our father and his Son Jesus Christ!

  • all Praise be to Jesus, he is waiting for you, just reach out and take his hand. he will give you a peace beyond measure and show you a Love that can't be measured. please just come to Him, Jesus is waiting, Praise be to Jesus. (((HUGS)))

  • The "Rev. Al Green"!!!!! Can't help myself .... keep hitting replay on this one!!!!!

  • The "Rev. Al Green"!!!!!

  • got to listen to al green every Sunday moring on the way to church

  • JESUS is waiting for YOU!!!!!!!

  • 15 people need to wait for Jesus!!!! Love this classic, thanks for the memories.

  • Truely what singin with feeling is about. Such a rare thing nowadays...

  • This man is unstoppable. One of the best all times. He sounds the same on his records as he do live.

  • Get it al green

  • This is an amazing performance that must continue to be preserved for the people to see. I keep coming back to it and each time, I am moved by it as much as I was when I saw it for the first time. You just can't beat the combination of raw emotion and pure joy. What I feel when I see this is what I would wish for everyone to experience at least once in their life.

  • I remember this performance. An Artist in his prime. He brought my mother, my Grandmother;we all watched Soul Train that day. My whole family loved some Al Green. Sometime you just have to say Jesus is waiting. And keep moving.

  • love this song u know God had his hand on him than this song had a meaning be hide it

  • 1 of tha best performances of all time hands down

  • the 13 people that don't like this blows

  • @brown550 ...TRUST!!!!

  • I love the Reverend Al Green.

  • I need a stack of bibles

  • This is a prime example of how the powerful spirit of God living inside of us is the real "SOUL" in soul music and any other form of music which feeds the spirit of man-kind. Thanks for sharing this song with us.

  • The drummer is incredible!

  • The Most High does not dwell in temples or churches made with hands. This video comprises a congregation whenever it is played. And the souls and spirits who are comforted and fed by this ministry are the gathering of God's people, created or begotten. Al Green was willing to bear his soul, and people love him for it. Be willing to bear your own soul, and you will draw others to Messiah Jesus, or you yourself will be drawn to Him. May you be blessed in all you think, say, & do. Jesus Is waiting

  • great artist!!! gotta love you some al green

  • pure soul........we're truly special..

  • THANK YOU LORD.

  • Mane he is speakin on some real stuff. Thank you...THANK YOU!!

  • say that!!

  • O and I almost forgot to give credit to the Great Willie Mitchill. Al Greene never forgot that.  Credit where credits due.!!!!!!!!!! P.S. I really hope someday Al will hear My Son Sheldon Ziro (BENTREED) sing. Check him out on You Tube or Face Book. Thanks again. Hope to come to see you soon at your Church Al God Bless !! Yours J. Z.

  • He wasn't cheating, & it wasn't his wife. He was not married. Read the book. And he didn't find God,- God was never lost !! God found Al Greene, He was lost !!!! THANK GOD ! So stop judging how Jesus Christ saved Al Greene, & start asking God to find &save You !!!!!! PS One of the greatist singers the world & church has ever been blessed with !!!!!!! I Love You Al Greene. PSS Like breeze thru the trees. sincerly Joseph Ziro a Jew who thinks your GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sjziro **Green

  • @sjziro thank you for this comment

  • @sjziro Thank you, sir! For the insight and kind and very true words!!! I'm not Jewish, but, on what he was saying, how about we as people, celebrate this LEGEND, while he's still here with us!!!!!! Why are we so quick to judge others??? What is it in us that seeks the bad in each other???? Al Green, truly, a child of God, in Christ. Thanks for listening.

  • @sjziro amen real talk

  • Meeeee toooooooo....everyday! I would be there. I wish I was @ Rev. Al Green's church. Where is it?

  • bad to the bone

  • @lovssims3 oh ok sorry

  • @matthewdcross no such thing as Jesus but you like the song? wow it doesnt make sense at all

  • Jesus can wait... Now im listenin' to Al's masterpieces....

  • they were talkin trash about God and that was it and they never said anything bout the video and thats y i made that comment

  • @MB3Productions i wasn't talkin to u haha i was to someone who was trash talkin

  • Yes, Jesus is waiting on us. My prayers are that we all get to know Him...He is love. I pray Mr. Green, his family and everybody all the best. Keep God first. God Bless!!!!!!!!

  • no matter if you're religious or not, this song and the ways he sings it are powerful.

  • New R&B or soul artist need to take note.

  • @2008Greenrain aint that the truth!! I wish music was like this now a days!

  • 74 soul train

  • @BIBLEisMARKofBEAST get a life comment on da video not about the bible

  • @tmyr The video is a song the reverend Al Green is singing about Jesus. He even starts with the Lord's prayer (from the Bible that teaches about Jesus) so YOU get a life. An eternal life through Jesus Christ before it's too late. God bless. :-)

  • back then we had God messengers,God message singers,we had GOLDEN AGES now all we have are satanists and satan's messengers,vampire movies and sick horrors...we need to find ourselves untill it's not too late.

    Jesus is the Way!Preach Al!!!

  • I used to listen this song on the radio as a youth & just ran into it on Youtube & Twitabeat. This guy was a genius in his youth. wow!!!!

  • He is so talented and he loves God what else is there to say

  • Damn he is sexy!

  • City park in New Orleans, La. 1969 or 1970

  • It was 69-70 Al Green performed at City Park. My much older brother Hanks favorite. It was at least 10 of us that went to the concert at the park and many other artists that performed that day. For the life of me I can not remember a single one other Rev. Al Green. He was not a reverend in those days, but what a memorable performance. I was maybe 13 or 14 years old. Thanks Bro.Al

  • I didn't know this song before watching on YouTube. While I've always had plenty of time for "The Reverend Al" in a '70's, teeth and topless way, i have no particular religious conviction...

    This live version is so good it almost smells like perfect. Who else would one want to have waiting with such an emotive messanger

    Thank you for posting.

  • Heard this flipping through the radio. Like finding a gem in the woods. I'm too vain and cynical to be a Christian but this song makes me envy those who are.

  • @magnvsmarcvs no one is a good Christian. That's the point. ;-) much love.

  • wat the hell!with the dislike o wow

  • One of the best gospel songs ever!!!! Hands down!!!

    My Lord

    Jesus is waiting.

  • al is making me crazy what the??? he is so great hot sexy black man with natural hair no tats no dancing no lights stark and sexy

  • cool as motherfuckers

  • Best Christmas song ever !

  • i can remember this like it was yesterday, we sat around the black & white 22" TV, wondering was it weed or LSD that made him act like that while he sang. That the truth...

  • @ladywithabrain12 Was al into drugs back in the day??

    That'd be pretty cool.

  • @Gearsdisraeli i don't no the answer to that, i hope he wasn't, i hope it was all natural raw talent....

  • @Gearsdisraeli Al was in2 women....deeply lol

  • @ladywithabrain12 Yeah I was wondering the same thing but I know one thing at least he meant the words he sang

  • @Johnch15VS5 yes sir, no doubt on that, no doubt all.

  • Rocks my soul..... Feel the Love

  • Awesome Al does it again. I watch this video everyday. Also check out the drummer. He never blink his eyes. LOL!

  • @01yt01yt you are right, that is not Al Jackson Jr but the guy on the drums is pretty good

  • i love this man because he is real

  • Al was a real singer everything he did he put is heart into and gave all he had to the crowd.He was a real show man.

  • I bet this is the sexiest song about Jesus. I could play this on my wedding night.

  • @ncg89 I would have my wife screaming for jebus.

  • @ncg89 LOL!!!!!!!!

  • Does anybody have the entire DVD of this Soul Train episode? I will pay for a copy if you do.

  • @01yt01yt The drummer was the late, great, Al Jackson. Sadly, he was murdered in Memphis in 1975 :(

  • I don't think he was "high" at all, just overcome with emotion. He was struggling with his faith battling his flesh during this time in his life. That is according to what he wrote in his autobiography. You should read it!!!
