Every Sunday, I watch three videos which puts me in the mood for a spiritual awakening for the new week to start and this is one of them. Thank you for this video.
Thank you Thank you Thank you for posting this. Right here, right NOW...I needed to hear/see this. My Mom passed this past January, 2011 and this song just made me cry and be happy all at the same time. GOD Bless you!
I am bound for Cannon Land. To that earthly golden strand. There I shall receive a blessing, for the work I`ve done below. (chorus) Yeah I be so glad to meet the prophets,and oh others whom gone on before me. But I long to seek my savior, but I`m glad He died to save us all.
Y'all would not believe how hard I'm balling in tears right now! This is the type of GOSPEL I was raised on! I can't explain what I feel right now. All I know is what I feel is REAL!!!!
My grandmother was an old fashioned Piano player and I can remember these days at a young age, when the old church would get hot and they would start screaming in the Baptist Church you knew it had to be the holyghost, thats when the music just made you remember the goodness of the Lord without saying a word. Glory to the creator.
I just love listening to "Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith." I feel nothing but pure joy in my heart each time I listen to her sing this song. The song is so true. Each of us will meet our love one's again. Most of all, we will meet our Savior Jesus Christ. "Rejoicing in our Lord and Savior. Amen!
I am so blessed when I hear this anointed voice of Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith, I've never heard this song better than this Pioneer of The Gospel. This is what I grew up listening to& why I gave my life To Jesus,this true Gospel singing that has meaning & purpose that makes you want to hear more&more of what she is singing about for I too can't wait to see The Prophets who is my my Lord & Saviour.. Thanks for the posting of this song.
This Is what I grew up listening to songs that have meanings and purpose to want to give your life to Jesus and I know Mother Ford is a true pioneer in The Gospel,Yes LORD ringing in my soul. GOD IS
I wish they still had church like this! It really blesses my soul. Let the seniors sing, we might learn something. I don't believe this contemporary singing reaches the soul like this does. Lets bring it back choirs and musicians. Year 2010.
i love this...i pray that evrybody reading this will get to the library and rent this dvd/cd: "say amen, somebody" they r both amazing!!! and the historical aspects are penomenal...
As a musician in miami fl growing up under my grandmother's teaching in the baptist churches I've learn to respect and appriciate the older songs that my older mothers and fathers song those were some goooood owe church and thank God for letting it roll on through me in his name ! Amen..............
I think this a wonderful song, gospel singer willie mae ford smith put me in rememberance of my grandmother Alice Anderson. It's a blessing when you can find true warriors on this journey that can really worship the Lord Thy God with power and fire that come from the Heart. I pray to God that I will be able to meet my love ones one day that made it into the Kingdom of Heaven. May God bless the Spirit of God that gave her this song..Thank you JESUS. this is true praise

Wow...HOLY!! My father had that radiance-of Moses-just-from-the-presence-of-God in his singing, also! Very difficult to find that today in Christian music. The "mountain" that these warriors of the Faith climbed, though, was a LIFE LONG commitment to sanctification and obedience to their God and His Christ.
@miami25 Its hard to find this kind of singing today because the struggle that they whent through is different from the struggles of today. they sang out of there pain and there struggles a lot of times. there was such a powerful anointing on them back then!!!!
@TheBlessed58 I didn't mean to remove comment at all, I meam't every word I said about this amazing song and the sound of her amazing,awesome and anointed voice of Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith. I have never heard not one person that can sing this song with the power of the anointing like this true pioneer of The Gospel. I really love it and I play this song everday I'm blessed to live & at night before I go to bed. I pray one day I can find this Tape with just this song. To God Be The Glory,
Does anyone know the name of the woman embracing Miss Willie May at 3:45 who says Rock On? I can't recall her name but have seen her over the years on the gospel music circuit.
@cshb: Yes, thank you! Thanks for that bit of info from the director's commentary. It's ture because I read that Mother Ford had a long-standing career relationship with Zella Jackson Price's family. The Price family would manage a lot of Mother Ford's singing engagements, etc. They were all singers themselves and would often open things up before Mother Ford would sing and preach.
The call and response style @ 1:24 is so moving and touching. Takes me back to my childhood church when the old saints use to just ad lib and make the song so beautiful
Now Thats AUTHENTIC Praise Right There! Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith Was A True Kingdom Worker! This Scene Brings Me To Tears Everytime I See It! Love Thos Dovumentary! Say Amen, Somebody
I just love reviewing the late "Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith". It is such a pleasure seeing her sing and serving God as she showes on "Say Amen Somebody". I really wish I had the oppurtunity to have shared that moment with the celebration given. Nonetheless, each time I review the movie I feel that I had been there in person. It's a wonderful watching all the particpants of "Say Amen Somebody".
man i love this clip even though i dont know everythinhg she saying her spirit is amazing she's not singing for show which is what allows the holyghost to move i remember going to old Baptist services like this but know its rare in any church
I am bound for Canaan land, To that happy golden strand. There I shall receive a blessing For the work I've done below. There I'll meet my loved ones gone on, And the others gone on before. I'll be in that great reunion When we gather around the throne. Though unworthy I may be, God has prepared a place for me. He is the king of glory, He's the man of Galilee.
AWE MAN AWE MAN they dont walk the floor like that more...I miss it sooo much. Thats when the holyghost was real and not for performance, if we could go back to those days...Thanks for post. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
YES, LAWD!!!! Remember the old mothers walking the floor, cuz they couldn't move like us young'uns...but, their walking had more power than our dancing anyway...GLORY TO GOD!!!
My grandmother used to say " if you live you will know what I'm talking bout" (when she would sang). I've learned to appreciate hymns and I do know now what she was talking about. No matter what you may be going through, if you reach back and grab one of those old hymns, it seems that the load tends to get just a little lighter and the light at the end of that tunnel gets a little brighter if song from the heart. Thank you grandma & Ms. Smith and the old school church for paving the way.
There is a longer unedited clip of this song with her singing it.........she actually did a little introduction, and an extra verse to this song..............it doesn't have the praise break....the unedited song w/o the praise break is about 10 minutes....
@vsumass Was it like a picture with her in a white dress and it showed different pictures of her? If thats the one you talking about they took it down :( b/c I loved that version of it also but I cant find it on here anymore..
I loved this documentary....it was excellent!!!!!! Brotha is playin dat piano @ 5:50 and that is a sho nuff "Old School Baptist Shout" @ 6:10...taking out half the choir stand with you...LOL!!!!! And my choir director is a kinda big lady about the same size as the one at 6:22 and shouts just like her...LOL!!!!!! The Barrett Sisters, Rev. Thomas A. Dorsey, Mother Willie Mae Ford, Sister Sallie Martin...this documentary is packed with legends in the Gopel realm & good music & stories too!!!!!!!
Lord God. Did u see as she moved across the floor @ 4:14 how the Spirit of God began to move & touch the people. Now that's church. Come on Holy Ghost!! They had church after mother sat down!! Praise Him y'all. HOLY!!!! My God
I love your comments here. Yes, Mother Smith radiate Joy and the Love of Christ, wherever she went. What a great example for generations to emulate. So glad I had the chance to hear her often as a child in St. Louis!
I also find myself crying each time I see this amazing lady minister in song. I've seen this documentary more times than I can count, I now own it! I hope that I will be able to meet this precious lady in heaven someday.
Oh, i agree. I listen to this song because it gives me comfort to know my greatgrandma is peacefully home with God. She made me who i am today, saved, and on God's kingdom train.
I cry everytime I get to this part of the documentary. I have seen the entire movie, this is my absolute favorite part. Just makes you wish you can see the entire service.
I've loved this video ever since I was a child and have appreciated the message its given and the artists profiled....having said that, there are two things that me and my father always cracked up about;
1. Notice that Mother Willie Mae's daughter through tears, signals the band to stop playing (5:07)... AND
2. immediately wipes her mother's face with the tissues she's been blowing her nose into for the past 3 minutes. (5:21)...
I also remember when we use to rent this video and my great grandmother who is gone on now, use to let the tears flow down her cheeks while listening to this song and Precious Lord. Oh how I wish for those days now.
this is so inspirational.. Wille Mae Ford Smith was and will always be a special lady who took the charge that was given to her by the Lord and carried it until her demise!! Thank You Lord for genuinely beautiful people like this dynamic woman of God! Spectacular!
Thanks Doublegin for advising. Did search under "Willie Mae Ford Smith" on amazon but no dice. Can someone please tell me the name of this wonderful DVD? Thanks In Advance.
There's nothin like those old mothers, prayin, singin, sanctified mothers. I lost my grandmother in October 2008. She was 99 yrs old. She was certainly one of them. I miss her. I luv u grandma. Rest in God.
(beginning of Verse 1) i am bound for canaan land to that happy golden strand there i shall receive the blessing for the work i've done below (Ending of Verse 3) i'll be so glad to meet the prophets and the others who've gone before but i long to see my savior who died to save us all I 4got what number it is in the hymn book (red)
I love it, I love it, I love it! I actually have this video "Say Amen Somebody" and have not watched it in a few years. But you can best believe I am going to pull it from the archives and look at it in it's entirety....this is TRUE gospel!!!
I have always loved this clip! but there are three things that crack me up 1) The piano player with the afro banging on the piano 2) The lady in the choir stand shouting and 3) the heavy lady at the end running down the aisle. This brings tears to my eyes in more ways than one!
I have the exact same response....after I can clear my eyes from crying and praising God....I do get tickled (in a very innocent way) at the same 3 things.......
Old school church is timeless to me. We need to go back to it every now and then. The modern stuff is cool, but you gotta have something within to sustain you. I've learned to appreciate hymns as I've gotten older.
one thing I have noticed, watching these classic videos, the singer knows when to put the Mich down, theses days, they beat the song so long that folk get tired
If these songs brought our ancestors through what they went through... I know for sure they will bring us through.

Refrain:
I'll be so gald to meet the prophets.
And the others gone on before.
But I long to see my Savior.
He died to save us all.
revs1962 2 years ago
Optional refrain:
I'll be so glad to see my Mother
My Father, brother, sister too.
My sister and my brother and the Father.
He died to save us all.
(If it is sung as a choir song as opposed to a solo, the choir will sing the same as refrain 1 for the background.)

I also remember when we use to rent this video and my great grandmother who is gone on now, use to let the tears flow down her cheeks while listening to this song and Precious Lord. Oh how I wish for those days now.

this is so inspirational.. Wille Mae Ford Smith was and will always be a special lady who took the charge that was given to her by the Lord and carried it until her demise!! Thank You Lord for genuinely beautiful people like this dynamic woman of God! Spectacular!

I love it, I love it, I love it! I actually have this video "Say Amen Somebody" and have not watched it in a few years. But you can best believe I am going to pull it from the archives and look at it in it's entirety....this is TRUE gospel!!!

I have always loved this clip! but there are three things that crack me up 1) The piano player with the afro banging on the piano 2) The lady in the choir stand shouting and 3) the heavy lady at the end running down the aisle. This brings tears to my eyes in more ways than one!
blaquestrength 3 years ago 4
I have the exact same response....after I can clear my eyes from crying and praising God....I do get tickled (in a very innocent way) at the same 3 things.......

Old school church is timeless to me. We need to go back to it every now and then. The modern stuff is cool, but you gotta have something within to sustain you. I've learned to appreciate hymns as I've gotten older.

Im sorry but at the end I had to shout alittle bit.
ivanberry19 3 years ago 2
why are you sorry, that is a good reason to shout alot, when you think about after our journy is over, we going to get out blessings
stevene1965 3 years ago
one thing I have noticed, watching these classic videos, the singer knows when to put the Mich down, theses days, they beat the song so long that folk get tired
