"Criminal On The Cross" By Acappella (acapella)

[barcsenal10]

the greatest acapella group ever

[LUGraduate100]

great song

[cunerro]

The gospel is preached in numerous dimensions by this group in this particular song. This is no empty noise! Praise be to God through Christ Jesus Our Lord!

[Sandro2542]

Todo aquele que olha apenas com os olhos, demora um pouco a entender a profundidade do que se passa no coração.

Conta uma história antiga que um ladrão e um Mestre, sobre um monte e num momento de dor, conversaram sobre algo... lá, o tal Mestre deixou claro que o coração do seu interlocutor não era criminoso como julgaram os outros.

Foi uma lição:

Houve um convite ao cuidado antes da sentença do julgamento!

Aproveite o vídeo e a música.

Um forte abraço,

S.

[MsBrownpenny]

Tell It. I agree with termana1. Sang!!!

[aagayla]

the song writers are to be commended. Great music from this group.



[JMCBlues1]

I remember seeing these guys many times in the late 80's & 90's such an inspirational group. You cannot listen to them and not thank God that he loves us like He does.

[MissCat1958]

Always one of my favorite groups. I love the blending of their voices!

[musiciskey15]

Nearly cried

[torryz1]

i like your song from trey

[talgwatr]

i don't currently walk with Jesus!..but when i was, i was sure loving this group.....!!!!!!!!!

[comfortadvisor]

I really don't think people can appreciate this song more than those like me who have been in prison and their life would be worthless today without God's grace and sacrifice.

[Bucheization]

Wawoooo! God bless u.nice song.

[Tipsy2485]

I lovvvvveeeeeeeeeeeee this song and this group so much. Found the video this night. It's from Landmark, right? I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this... Made my year.....

OOOOHHHHHHHHHHH babya ! this was the message of my last sermon in a church of man,.. we re all simply the theif aside jesus,.. all ONE in our lowly self, and all ONE in our love for the true son of GID and our saviour be. !

[jdsumner]

[BabyJ2076]

"Hallelujah, I'm saved!"... SANG IT, George!!

[PantherGurlz990]

I just got back from church camp and a band called Cornerstone came and sang this song but nobody beats Acapella NEVER! God Bless!

[MsDolphin101]

[megs2401]

George Pendergrass = awesomeness!! Acapella just wasn't the same without him.

[cupcake11111s]

[tongaute]

God is Good!!!!:)

[nutsoyoda]

this just literally made me cry, too perfect

[iF3llOffaBr1dge]

wow I listen to these guys all the time but never knew what they looked like

[Jemalito]

sang this song at Church, and twas just amazing

[AVBComeBack]

OHHHHHHHH YAAAA Put some speed on that brother =)

[mrvladeemer]

acapela is the best always ....

[mrvladeemer]

bravoh .... nice voice

[termana1]

something went wrong in this world

i see artists like lady gaga making millions with their music and she is not even nearly as good as this guys are in singing, there are so many good accapella artists who should be recognized more

[studentsbb]

its cuz the entertainment industry isnt about "sound and rhythm" anymore....its about "money and fame"...

[duckigrrl]

@termana1 Seems the devil always knows how to make his music seem better. Easier to follow the crowd rather than listen to the still voice of The Master and go the right way. Lady Gaga and her ilk will have their 5 minutes of fame, but God's truth will live forever. 

[TheJD19]

@termana1 that's because they [Gaga & others] are serving the Devil so he'll them POPULAR after all they're doing HIS MUSIC! God has blessed these guys more than Satan could ever do for his people. Whatever seeming 'good' he does will end when Jesus returns. Those who sing for God will inherit eternal life, those who sing for Satan will inherit everlasting death.

[KarrieChristianson79]

@termana1 AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!

[Graybillionaire]

@termana1 Amen! You are so right! :-)

[femto2]

awsome

[ApostlesoYahwehUnite]

This video is great! I love Jesus.

[thuraku]

ACAPELLA always the best...!

[34zevins]

Get it George!!...i grew up listening to this group! the best of the groups i think!

[TheMattback350]

Pause on 1:26 hehe I love this song

[KwameS14]

@TheMattback350 is that you ?

[superbasketballer7]

WOWW! Every time i hear this song, it just makes me happy

[jido35]

This was my favorite song of their whole repertoire. 

[goatyist]

One of my favorite.Avodah ministries does this well as well.

[krystalframe]

I have never been able to hear the line, "I'm a wretch, I'm a worm, I'm a no good sinner, but He said He'd save me anyway." Without tears, and without knowing it fully in my heart. Indeed, praise God!

[termana1]

1:01-1:06 is insane i just wished they wouldnt clap

this is so awsome

[dawgrogers]

i get chill bumps every time i watch this vid...thank you LORD GOD!

[MrKyledude18]

@dawgrogers George Younce would call those "Glory bumps" lol

[candylu3]

Take it from someone that went to college with Gary, they are truly amazing. And truly being true to what they sing.

[kaguvi777]

[tysonshirey1]

[jamrack12]

[lildelicious1]

amazing voice

[Phishboy26]

Keith Lancaster and Rodney Britt's "While the ages roll on" is still one of my favs to listen 2. even at 30.

[Newyorkfoodie]

regardless of what we call our churches in our human names we are all a part of the church of Christ! Human pride in our churches doesn't belong in the body of Christ!

[tontobymyself]

"the people dont do, what they used to do...."

Please Dont Miss out on ALL the Beautiful singing in Heaven

[TheGreenerItGets]

Gorgeous...

[jajdr]

..."Verily I say to you, this day you shall be with me in paradise."

[jajdr]

at the Crucifixion, God summarized it all with the two representatives of all of mankind: one railed on him, saying, "If you are Christ, come down from the cross and save yourself and us," and the other rebuked him and said, "Do you not fear God, seeing that you are in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man has done no evil," and saying to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom," to whom Christ said...

[7217linda]

[SairerinsoS]

Love it! Love it! Love it!

[francechambers1]

This is just another demonstration of the soul of Acappella and Prendergast is a class act. Brilliant stuff. I really enjoy this song. Just take me back to the classic days of Acappella. This video blesses my heart.

[eliaiese1353]

Thanks to my older brothers and sisters I got to grow up listening to this holy-soulful sound.

[tommyG108]

This was EXCELLENT.

[smartboat123]

[mytuber81]

GREAT SONG!!

[icybear1]

i love the song "Wedding Day" I can't find it anywhere!!!

[acapellafan1]

gary moyers rocks- just listen to that voice!!! (second from left)

[TekelBrighteyes]

This is by far my favorite group. Do you have Roll The Stone Away?

[Dilelomismo]

I've been looking for that, too! That AVB album was INCREDIBLE! I think my fave song from that c.d. was "The Victim."

[hdiylove7]

Very unique! Sharing National Sunday Law by A. Jan Marcussen!!!!!!!!

[JehosaphatPhineas1]

I LOVE these people

[kaylovesmuzik]

Do you have 'angels step aside, here comes the Bride' by this group?

(I think that's the name)

[ARbenSRbarGR]

was this at a Gaither's Homecoming thing? I think I recognized one of the people in the audience as one of the Cathedrals singers... and is now in Legacy 5 (his name escapes me...)

[balsata]

Yes, the name of dvd is Old Landmark,

[Johnn832]

This song is awsome, I love hearing it over and over again...lol

[wsmith957]

the lead singer is george pendergrass, the tenor is gary moyer and the bass is duane adams, but who is the other black male.....it used to be wilburn dean, but that dont look like him.....does anyone know

[Tonyjava]

Actually Duane Adams is the baritone here, Robert C Guy is the black guy doing the bass. He is the one who does the bass in the Beyond The Doubt album as well as the Hymns For All The World album. When Wayburn Dean left, Robert joined but because he was a lower bass, it elevated Duane to baritone since his voice VERY capable with his gifted range. Robert leads 2 or 3 songs in which Duane does take the bass for those.

[w3tua]

I found this CD at my local Salvation Army last week. The best part was it was signed by all the guys!!!!!!!

[smartboat123]

do you have the lyrics to this song

[PrinceNightFox]

Well, it was many years ago, in the time of the Bible

that they took him up to Calvary (up to Calvary)

They should have let him go, but instead they chose Barrabas

just to set another criminal free (just to set him free)

When they crucified the ever-lovin' carin' Master

with compassion flowing from His eyes

Well, He said to a thief who was begging Him for mercy

that "Today you'll live in Paradise."

[PrinceNightFox]

Hmm, I'm saved (I'm saved, I'm saved) like the criminal on the cross

Praise God, I'm saved, yes, (I'm saved, I'm saved) no more to suffer loss

Well, he said I'd live in Paradise

And He's taken care of the cost

Hallelujah, I'm saved (I'm saved, I'm saved) like the criminal on the cross

I'm saved (I'm saved, I'm saved) like the criminal on the cross

[Arkeiro77]

O melhor quateto masculino que conheço! A melhor formação do Acappella é essa aí!

[originalframet]

this is sooooooooo wicked!!!!!!! gr8 job

[rosbram]

thank u for putting this on here!

[ramnak2k7]

what year was this recorded?

[dawgrogers]

early 90's...maybe 93 or 94...I remember being in high school when the gaither videos came out. I was a big fan of acapellas earlier music...still get chills every time i hear this...

[jamelut]

amazing!

[Blake6493]

Wow....

[w3tua]

You have to hear them LIVE!

[Newyorkfoodie]

I love their music are so joyful! The people in the back ground are funny check out their faces.

[ramnak2k7]

yo there is good..better...best...then u got FRIGGIN AMAIZING....then u got these guys...enough said

[vthicks]

oh my gravy. The lead singer has an absolutely AMAZING voice.

[chunleewan]

the cds rock also

[tejaswoman]

@vthicks His name is George Pendergrass. Personally, I think this was probably the best lineup Acappella ever had. :) L to R: Wayburn Dean, Gary Moyers, George Pendergrass, Duane Adams.

[megs2401]

@tejaswoman The guy on the far left is not Wayburn Dean. I believe his name is Robert Guy.

[DemonKing573]

Accapella Music Company has a website from which this music can be ordered.

[conantx9]

Any one know if they are still performing anywhere? I wore out my tapes years ago and haven't been able to find replacement cds anywhere

[ramnak2k7]

i got them on cds try gospel music stores...umm or ur local music store...its kinda hard to google them so i wouldnt' tell u to do that

[TabooTongue]

Been awhile since I said "I want to be like that guy" and be referring to a Christian doing religious activities. They even make this song sound 100% elite.

Nice upload.

[ramnak2k7]

these guys take singing to another level

[deibi02]

quartetão...

[rockman2517]

the lead is the man. feelin it.

[tysontomko]

I could not have said it better myself.

[brunobelz]

hmmm... never saw them singign in a gaither homecoming...which homecoming was that???

[valerieralte]

This one's from Landmark

[brunobelz]

hmm...looks like that time, Wayburn left the group...and that black man at the extreme left is Robert C. Guy, if ím not wrong

[w3tua]

I heard these same gentlemen in concert over 20 years ago. That was the most uplifting musical experience of my life. They stayed after the show and signed autographs and talked to us. All of them are outstanding singers and men.

[bobconway2006]

Fortunately there is the miracle of the music at the men; it gives again hope for peace, the respect and the love. Large a thank you for this marvelous moment, and as said it a preceding comment, Amen.
