  • Yes Lord!! Thankyou!! It could've been me...You keep on keepin' me

  • What an awesome and powerful voice!!!

  • Let's put it where no MAN can reach it, right out of THE WORD OF GOD..Phl 1:18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice .

  • Thank you.

  • Every Hour!!! Thank You LORD!

  • I know thats right Ledisi your better sing to the glory of GOD!!!!! It couldn`ve beeen you or me THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just want to say Thank You Lord for all the People all the Spirits you have saved Thank you Lord for all the MIRACLES I love you God

  • She says not only COULD it have been her..but it WAS her at one time...She this song not because of whether or not she sung it well..THIS song was her testimony and her Thank You, Lord.

  • No doubt she can sing but there was no anointing in that song what so ever

  • OOPS DID I SAY SHARP TOO?

  • FLAT!!

    

  • looking at the comments that people made, is really silly to me how people judge her singing and not enjoying the song, and that she was singing for GOD, well on that note Thank You Lord, for giving me the grace to look past the people.

  • Contd.) Potter's House is a place where the Spirit of God dwells blessings to Bishop Jakes. No flesh glories in God's sight.

  • Okay hear me out I AM NOT a Ledisi hater but I am spiritual. Ledisi is a phenomenal singer. This was not one of her best vocal performances, she sounded uncontrolled and all over the place vocally but eventually because of the musicians, singers, congregation she tapped in. However, Ledisi can take no credit for the atmosphere. That is an anointed song written by the late great Walter Hawkins. When she STOPPED trying to sing and exhausted herself of all herself she got in! Potter's House

  • LoL The Drummer forgot his Snare was off in the beginning... lol

  • SHE CAN BLOW!

  • She is a phenomenal singer at times she simply doesn't have the "gospel style" which could take this song to where many people wanted it to go. Someone said everyones assignment is not in the church which is true. That same person said what is truly a gospel singer? Well a gospel singer is a minister of God's word through song. Someone who truly understand MINISTERING to the people and NOT just singing to them to build a fan base. You must be able to connect spiritually and God should be in it

  • I didnt get the chills till the choir sung

  • @msr18924 i agree with u alot

  • think about what she is saying and who she is singing to. the lord Jesus Christ!! thats whats wrong with you worldly people. the Lord Giveth and He Will Take Away!

  • 10 people dislike???.....OMG...The devil is soooo busy...In my grandmothers voice... :)

  • Ive been a Ledisi fan since I first heard her in 200 I do not like this at all!

  • It's cool!

  • i dont like her voice on this song... :( sorry!!!!

  • This song tore Ledisi up. I love the Holy Spirit. Singing to the Lord does something to you. She tried to hold on but sometimes...

  • Comment removed

  • @Gloryrest yes she will I'm watching this in tears not my 1st time watching But @ her concert she does go to church

  • Let's put aside the fact that she is a professional artist. And LISTEN to the message...if we didnt know her as "Ledisi" would this still be a "performance"????

  • I love Ledisi's voice. She should be a much bigger artist than she is. She has one of the best sounds out there!

  • @mmona4 I agree a thousand percent

  • @mmona4

    she will get there soon, in Gods time she will get there

  • She's real. . .in church out of church. . .and she will take you to church at her concerts. . .

  • you better PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! saaaaaaaaaaaaang for JESUS ledisi

  • I am watching this on the couch crying.. thank GOD for the ability for people like Ledisi to minister through their voice... really helps aligns us with the truth - our God.

  • i read all of these comments; and being true ledisi fan i thought she was AMAZING! i dont go to church but watching someone i respect and adore take time to say thank you lord maybe i can just tell him thank you!

  • im not sayin Ledisi is anointed, but i often hear ppl say, "ohh she/he is anointed", and they only say it because of their vocals or range..but i just have to say, "never confuse the anointing for talent."

  • @msr18924 so true i do love ledisi but i love the lord way more** well said

  • This video makes me want to visit the Potter's House even more. It's amazing how GOD allows so many different genres of artist to touch us in the spirit with music. Ledisi has a true soulful artist and has the ability to connect with you in so many ways and to expereience the word of GOD from TD Jakes it a enough, however to give such a performance and usually they are offered FREE is incredible!!!! IT truely shows where your offerings go!!!

  • If people truly knew Christ and his love for his children...then they would truly be able to understand why ledisi does what she does and why she sings so passionately. She has experienced God's love and this is what happens when you let Christ take over your life. excellent!!!! This is no performance but she is ministering.

  • Do yall know how much further along we would be if we would just celebarate each other?

  • @inspirekj Amen!

  • @inspirekj

    I was thinking the very same thing! yes, yes, yes! Thank you for writing it~

  • @inspirekj AMEN!

  • @inspirekj  AMEN!

  • @jhuddleston47 she is anointed and very spiritual individual and the performance was honest. If you know anything about her she feels every song she sing staed she loves gospel. Whenever anyone sang it come from the gut of your stomach through the vocal cords to be expelled out in all sort of melodies. Why do you think the spirit comes out of you when someone else sings and you feel song. Don't be so negative its going on enough in the world as it is.

  • she is tearing it up in them damn heels!!!!!!!

  • Sang miss lady.

  • Nobody knows the cost of her praise! Let her answer for herself. Please let's stop the hating on the anointing. God was all over her n u know it! And it is so in Jesus name! Blessings to all!!!! :-)

  • AWESOME! The presence of God was definitely in the place! Thank you Jesus!

  • I truely thank you lord

  • Saaaaang!

  • Absolutely amazing!!

  • She brought me to tears.God uses us in all kind of ways. Just the fact that we are saying his name in these times when ppl are too afraid to, is great!!! I pray God continue to bless her in all that she does.And he will no matter what genre of music she sings.Everyone isnt suppose to sing gospel music.HE gave her the talent!!!Not u or I,so enjoy his and her works!!! Be Blessed

  • Ledisi is the REAL deal. If you've had the pleasure of seeing her perform live, you'll hear her testimony; she stepped out on faith and quit her 9-5, to do what she loves. Thus GOD has blessed her for being faithful.

  • u know its trips me out when us "church folks" put GOD in a box the same GOD that gave karen clark her vocals gave ledisie hers!!! whaTS is truly a gospel singer??? and everybodies assignment is not in the "church"

  • God reigns over the just AND the unjust... the bible says the ROCKS will cry out if YOU DON'T. You gonna let a DONKEY speak on behalf of your Father N heaven INSTEAD of YOU?!

    God honors the heart of those who SEEK Him! The vessel is unimportant, if YOUR heart is N the right place & wanting 2 receive what God has 4 YOU! Listen 2 the song & focus on HIM! It's not about Ledisi, it is about YOU saying THANK YOU LORD 4 ______... and filling N the blank with what YOU R thankful 4!

    Be blessed,

    Me

  • @IamKINDRED some folks so deep, you're drowing. Ledisi has a wonderful God given talent. And yes I thank God that I am able to listen to her sing this song and anything else that she sings and be blessed by her talent. It is a given for me that I am blessed by the message. But I think God is okay with us being in awe of the roses, the mountains, the oceans, beautiful art and Ledisi's beautiful voice.

  • @carterboy66 Not sure if that was a compliment or a diss. I'm hoping a compliment, seeing as though a true believer wouldn't B throwin' around unsolicited insults. I'll pass on quoting scriptures, since I'm sure U know which 1s apply (U DO read UR bible... right?).

    If U read some of the previous posts from folks questioning anointing & commenting on how she shouldn't have tight pants on & what-not, U might understand (and agree with) my post. Love U w/the love of Christ, bro.

    Be blessed,

    Me

  • @IamKINDRED I totally disagree with your post. Getting caught up in her what she is wearing and if she sings gospel or if she sings jazz, if she is saved or not is soooo wrong in my opinion. I feel perfectly fine giving her props for her wonderful gift for her being willing to be used by God to deliver such a powerful song.

  • @carterboy66 What U typed actually AGREES w/my post. SMH Can U read?

    2 many others were saying she isn't anointed & all kinds of other mess. MY post said, 4get HER... pay attention 2 the lyrics & what God has done 4 YOU. I live N NorCal & have known about Ledisi LONG B4 she was known nationally. Ask her about Rasselas Jazz Club

    U R welcome 2 th' last word, however U choose 2 respond. What U just typed is not opposed 2 what I typed. I'm kickin' dust, and kickin' rocks.

    Be blessed,

    Me

  • @IamKINDRED I read very well. And, I have dual degrees to prove it. Your original post was written a bit passively so I misunderstood your intention. However, I am glad that you see thing the right way... may way LOL!!! You know I'm just messing with you. So glad you enjoyed her gift as much as I did. I too have been supporting Ledisi for years. I have the Orange is the Color Cd where she does a lot of jazz standard covers and it is awesome. You be blessed.

  • @carterboy66 Your way is most definitely the right way... as long as that's His way! I'm gald to know you have the Orange CD... and if you EVER get a chance to check her out live, it is FAR from even THAT project which is the closest to the unique experience of hearing her sing live.

    Be blessed,

    Me

  • @sangwitswag: aren't we glad God sees beyond fashion, straight to the fabric of our hearts? btw: as a sanctified Christian, you "should" know that "should" is always a lie. either it is or it isn't. Truth is infinite. what "should" have been will never be. Truth is, she wore the pants and God used her:-)

  • regardless of what all you haters say the girl can saaaang!!!!!!

  • judge NOT, touch NOT the Lord's annoited......ye who is without sin cast the first stone

  • All you people arguing abt tha anointing need prayer haha. Smh, c'mon saints, more important things we cud be prayin abt, or more outreach we cud be doing, or just gettn closer to God for ourselves. We as a body sometimes to worry so much about the small stuff, that we lose sight of the big picture!

  • you r right about that she does not sit her praise on the shelf for no one.

  • Amen! Amen! Amen!

  • @NotYourTypicalNegro: True just because you feel something good doesn't mean its the anointing, but then again you don't know the individuals relationship with God. We as "Church Folk" are so quick to judge people an not know their story, or judge them on how they make a living. I wish we could be a little more accepting. Ledisi is the to say that she is a child of God and that he has brought her over.

  • Beautiful...truly a gift from God!

  • Ilove this woman with a passion. its like with her singing she tells her story<3

  • Ilove this woman with a passion. its like with her singing she tells her story<3

  • Thank you Lord! No anointing, who couldn't feel that! Thank u ledisi for not allowing the"haters" to stand in the way of your praise. How dare christians continue to judge based on church attended etc etc. If mega churches not your comfort don't go if it's your preference, go! Can we just praise him and respect our difference. I can't judge a mans heart therefore who am I to determine an anointed one.

  • @babybemine803, "anointing" doesn't have anything to do with making people "feel" something. And I'm sick and tired of this silly word "hater" being used. No person who wishes to be perceived as intelligent should be using that word.

    Nobody is "hating" on Ledisi. The problem is "church folk", who think just because they get a chill up their spine it MUST be God. Foolishness, and quite irritating to say the least.

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ledisi was made for this...PERIOD!

  • god bless you!!!!!

  • When was this??? Why didn't anyone tell me Ledisi was singing at the Potter's House??? I would have went, man! lol I just love me some Ledisi!

  • Man that woman can blow!

  • I watch this video everyday. Some times more than once a day. Wow it could've been me..

  • Awesome!!!!

  • I pushed the like button before she started singing...I know im a feen! oh well

  • is that Myron Butler and them!?

  • @MisterSW Yup

  • Praise GOD!! This is one of my all time favorite songs! I was moved by Ledisi's rendition of the song! GOD is so good and we have so much to be thankful for. Thanks for sharing this video---it made my day!

  • THANK YOU.,,................I WATCH THIS VIDEO EVERY MORNING...WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR

  • I get great joy from hearing this voice!

  • thats a bad up-do and a bad outfit....LOVE HER

  • I love her!!!

  • @MarionKing4life regardless of her anointing, I think it's important that she wasn't being fake or anything. I don't know Ledisi's heart, but I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she was being honest. and that's worth acknowledging...

    that's me.

  • @jhuddleston47 You ought to here here sing Be Grateful, it is outstanding.

  • @jhuddleston47 LOLOLOLOLOLOL you poor thing...it's not your fault honey....you just don't know who ledisi is baby!!! She is very serious about the Lord and her ministry as a gifted vocalist. It doesn't matter what she is singing on stage...she ALWAYS has ministry prepared!!. I've seen her live and I've been blessed and anointed by her, not just entertained!

  • @MrsPhynesss you are sooo right!!! I've seen her live as well and she will go to church in a minute on stage. She does not hide or fake that she loves the Lord!!!

  • i am a fan of hers. but it is the annoiting that makes the difference. and here it is missing

  • @MarionKing4life i aggree

  • great song!

  • i absolutely LOVE That she's wearing a pants suit. you are the woman, L.

  • I'm sorry, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I didn't like it too much. Just sounded like a whole bunch of off pitch high rifts. I didn't feel the spirit from this performance,at all I'm sooooooo sorry Led. I love your music always, but this just didnt move me as you always do. You've done better just by talking. Lol.

  • @Bl6ckWom6n I agree.......

  • @Bl6ckWom6n

    stop trying to feel the spirit and listent to words hater!!

  • @rogermaloney Really though??? Was all that necessary? I'm certainly not a hater. I am and will forever be a LED head.  Just because I wasn't too fond of this one doesn't mean I didn't hear what she said. Relax, you don't have to attack me like a B-fan ok luv? :)

  • Love this woman she can hit some crazy notes!!!!! Love it.

  • What is the bass player's name?

  • Wheww! That's all I can say!

  • Just now getting into Ledisi. I know I'm way late. But better late than never. I liked hearing her do this, so many wonderful little nuances to her voice. But I'm sorry, I just can't do the glossy, mega churches....just something about them. But glad I was able to look past that and enjoy Ledisi.

  • @GProperty I'm just curious... Why dont you like mega churches?

  • @420rules420 That's a good question. I guess I'm not really drawn to them. I feel like there's way too much "production" and "gloss". Feels somewhat like a show. Don't get me wrong, I've been to some very big churches and felt the presence of God. But I don't really get into churches where "celebrity" is involved...be it the pastor or special guests, because I feel like black churches in particular are so "star" struck that there's very little room for Jesus....in my opinion.

  • @GProperty You ain't lyin' about that. That's one of the reasons foreclosures ran rampant in many Black neighborhoods because these same "celebrity" pastors with their McMansions, Mazeratti's, boats and all these worldly possessions hoodwinked entire congregations into over-extending themselves. I love Ledisi that's why I'm watching this video; however, the line between celebrity-worship and God-worship is continually being blurred. That concerns me deeply.

  • @420rules420 Because they feel like mini-corporations. I feel that a church needs to be on the community/neighborhood level. The church I grew up in had 100 core members. When somebody died, married, graduate from high school/college, even bought a new house, the pastor actually knew about it.

    What a lot of people fail to realize is that church growth isn't only about expanding membership. It's also about expanding the hearts and minds of the members already there.

  • That's why she is so blessed. Give Thanks! Glory to God!

  • truly amazing!!!!

  • I say her in concert at the House of Blues and she was awesome. I remember she turned one of her songs into a church song. it was great.

  • Beautiful!! I saw Ledisi at the NBMBA Conference in LA, she was off the chain!! Support this artist, she has a beautiful voice!!

  • I Just Wanted To Fall Down And Worship To God When I Hear Her Voice Sing Towards God

  • Wow i would actually go to church if she came here and sing at one of em.. it might be the only time but wow she is voice heavy! amazing raw talent!..

    Can any of these R&B chicks keep up? she should be leading the pack, she is truly under rated, i know ya'll supporters are out there because tyler perry crappy movies are selling 40 mil opening days, so why isn't she a force to be recogned with?

  • I just love the way she sings.

  • Come on here and give the Lord thanks in the highest register while giving your own self the glad glads! Yessuh!

  • Her voice reminds me somewhat of Fantasia Barrino at certain points.

  • @MrCogicson1 She and Fantasia do hit some of the same gospel riffs. They are both power house singers.

  • I love this song......Lord I thank you

  • They better have a praise break after Ledisi let the holy ghost use her!

  • 3:48 betta hit them high notes!

  • Let the church say Amen!

  • There is so much power in her vocals wow LOVE't

  • Amen!

  • when does she come back to DALLAS?

  • AND TO THANK I WAS ONE WHO PROMOTED HER WITHOUT HER PERMISSION! YOUR GIFT WILL MAKE ROOM FOR U THAT'S THE WORD

  • Comment removed

  • She sings effortlessly!!!

  • Love it..thanks for posting. This is easily my new favorite!

  • Powerful!!

  • What an awesome tribute to the late [and great] Dr. Walter Hawkins! *Prophet Brown*

  • THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

  • Our own Ledisi ! This is for The Late Bishop Walter Hawkins RIP (May 18, 1949 – July 11, 2010)

  • I stay right in dallas and I MISS THIS!?

  • @texasrespect I know right! I hate I missed it!

  • Ledisi is my MOST favorite singer! Love her!

  • She has such beautiful gift of singing....Oh and Myron Butler is a real industry professional. He is always on point. Shout out to the both of them, Oh and nice background vocals as well.

  • i love ledisi

  • SANG, LEDISI

  • where's pt 2??? lol

  • Thank You!!!!

  • hahahahahaah she started feeling that thing!!! hahaha

  • @lonnell23 didn't she, lol. i love it.

  • Great Voice ! Ledisi is truely a heaven sent

  • She is not to be messed with.

  • This woman sings!!

  • So in love with this lady.

  • wow...... Cant say no more..... If u are feelin sumthin in ur spirit, how ever u xpress it, thats how it was meant!!!!!! She is a singer who is rooted, u cnt deny that frm her or ne 1 who belts out whatever at that x. She do what she do, & does it WELL!!!!!!!!

  • Yes Sir!!!!

  • I love this rendition so much as I know the song is coming from her heart. Ledisi knows god for herself and it shows. She's been through some stuff in her life (check out her soulsinger album where she lets us know about being molested by her father)...And she's knows god has brought her through...

    6:49 you can see she's feeling the spirit of God and the worlds are ministering to her.

    God is good and is available to ALL

  • Prov. 22::6 Judge not and you won't be judge.

  • At least she didnt sing a secular song like Chrisette Michele did at Empowerment Temple in Baltimore. Now that is a hot mess. Anybody wants to try to justify that?

  • Is she going straight gospel or secular,she cant do both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @27ade God is Awesome... The word "SECULAR". I've heard several of Ledisi's songs and none of them have lyrics that SEPERATE her love for GOD. Maybe you should listen to an artist 1st before you label them as being "SECULAR". I don't know Ledisi personally BUT I do know that she proclaims JESUS CHRIST has her personal SAVIOR. That's good enough for me! Who are we to JUDGE????

  • @MrTeebone1970 "if a rapist volunteered to sleep in the same room as some young girls would u let him?If not you have just judged that rapist.You go around judging but claim 'judge not',we are all called to judge 1cor2:15 Stop this religious crap and read your Bible.

  • @27ade SMH.... remove the beam from you eye first. You would not be judging a known rapist if you did not allow him to sleep in the room with a young girl... that's just using common sense. Ledisi is not know to have ever hurt anyone. All she is known (by the ge
