The Baptism of Jesse Taylor - Oak Ridge Boys, Guy Penrod

[mangrumnmichael]

Ain't is AMAZING that no matter how HIGH people rise to other genres' GOSPEL pulls together their REAL 'power' and best effect.....?  LOL

[womanwonder10]

@moproducer Didn't the Beatles claim2be more popular than Christ? Well, I would not even began2know how2figure that out, and what they said doesn't matter much2me. And I think at the end of the day, or,more importantly, at the end of time,it won't be an issue. Jesus will still be the Savior, the Redeemer, The Holy One, the King of Kings...(I could go on,but I'd be at it for quite awhile)And the Beatles, well, only God knows if anyone is really gonna care about their recordings-THEN! UTakeCare!

[auburngirl61]

My grandparents told me the Jesse Taylor lived near Franklin County. I think.

[badbamaboy8]

He died before i was born, but my grand paw was a hell of a men

[SuperKabella]

It's not often when you see a LASTING change in a person who has made a profession of faith. I saw a good friend's father (who was a whole lot like Jesse Taylor) change dramatically after being saved. I witnessed that first-hand.

I am another. If I had not found Jesus just before my eighteenth birthday, I would either be dead or in prison.

Another thing: You can have a hundred googles of money in the bank, but if you don't have Jesus as your Saviour, you still don't hav a thing.

@moproducer I hope you realize how much you do need Jesus in your life. I have studied people in the past.People of faith always seem to fare better, particularly as pertaining to crime and drug addiction.They have a lower rate of recidivism, and,actually, are somewhat less likely to have these problems to begin with(often the minority in most programs).This is not to say that there aren't problems that a Christian could struggle with, as we do not live in a perfect world. ReachOut2Him! Please!

[moproducer]

@womanwonder10 But people worship the Oaks. If you got the Oaks, why do you need Jesus?

[womanwonder10]

@moproducer Are U being sarcastic? If you really want to know...Here I go...I believe He died on the cross for me and yes, you + for all ppl to forgive them for their evil or sins. I believe that the early churchfathers wrote about what they saw w/their own eyes,ie, what they(most of 'em) were put2 death for.They could have denied it and lived, but they so know the facts that they choose to die than to deny the truth.I am not a hater or a judger.And I am free in Christ+I do love it!

[moproducer]

@womanwonder10 I guess you can worship Jesus and worship the Oaks, too. I think the Oaks are probably more popular, but there's nothing wrong with Jesus.

[womanwonder10]

@moproducer I know what Jesus has done4me so I will take every chance Ican2pass this most joyous,life-changing message,even though I live in a world that seems2want2believe and/or make God more+more irrelevent.I am not trying2hurt anyone, just the exact opposite.I have a real desire2share this beautiful GOOD News with all I can until the day I die,or 'til Christ returns(and He will).My life has been saved from destruction, thank God.Check out this site: Revfiskj on YT.TrueLove4U.

[shiptrumpetguy11]

[kemoloveholland26]

[sstroh08]

wanna know something interesting, i live in franklin county indiana and about a mile away from my house is [little] cedar creek and in about another 3 or 4 miles near the end of it where it joins the whitewater river is the little cedar church one of the oldest buildings in indiana built in the very early 1800s [i cant remember exactly] wonder if thats where jesse taylor was baptised?

[ron1863win]

How old is this song??

[moproducer]

Who needs Jesus when you got the Oaks?

[RubinhoAngelon]

@moproducer please dont say that

[ron1863win]

@moproducer EVERBODY NEEDS JESUS....

[moproducer]

@ron1863win ...but if you got the Oaks, you don't need Jesus as much...

[violetangel73]

@moproducer Who do you think is leading them to sing these great gospel songs? Jesus!

[CountryBoyToy18]

I am named after this song.. well First name, middle name was given the same as my dad

[jbhpoohbear]

I'd love to be a cootie, tick or flea in any of those beards, Good Lord!!

[jbhpoohbear]

I'd ooove to be a cootie, tick or flea in any of those beards, Good Lord!!

[relimes]

One can only imagine the cooties, tics fleas in that beard, good lord!

[RoxT71]

I guess this is the closest I can get, for now (wishful thinking), of seeing my 2 fave vocal groups ever (the Oak Ridge Boys & the Gaither Vocal Band) perform together. I think it would be so cool for them to work together on a project.

[JesusILove18]

I almost cried hearing this song because I became a Christian Last weekend and on Sunday God's Presence was very strong! :D

[Crisway46]

Where is the "LOVE" button???!!! Golly, how I love this song!

[shaybird100]

This is a good video. It can apply to a lot of families.

[CoraFaye]

Guy Penrod is the one that joins them during the song.

[Rasingpa777]

What a beautiful song!!!

[rotten510]

the mystries if the kindgom are just that to thoose who dont know christ as there saviour but to thoose who know christ the mystries ofthe kingdom get revalled

and the rapture and everything that goes with will make sense to anyone that has trully been bornagain and the and to have your name in the lambs book of life is a great thing christ rose so that we as gods people one day will here the trumpet sound and we shall be caught to meet him in the air i cant wait

yes i belive in the rapture

[Chargermom09]

Guy Penrid doesn't miss a beat when he's singing. he can sing with a group as well-loved as the Oak Ridge Boys, the GVB or solo. A true blessing from Gos.

[texaskountryfan74]

Phenomenal song! Richard Sterban has not aged a bit! Isn't he in his early 70s? Wow! The Oaks have gotten so much better with age and I am glad they are back in gospel music where they are supposed to be. They tried to change with the times in country music and it did not go well. I am also thankful that William Lee Golden is back with the group. Should've never come to him leaving, but you can't change the past.

[mikesr7]

good to see men and women getting along

[TheCc1212]

An oldie but a GOODIE! Thanks!

[coltboyd]

THIS SONG IS ABOUT MY GREAT GREAT GRANPAW HIS NAME WAS LESTER TAYLOR. I HAVE PROOF THAT IT IS!

[calesh02]

[mikestand566]

Just in case you missed it

[blessedandforgiven]

[AcousticRevival]

[ChadLover2009]

Jessie Taylor is my brother and nephew's name how cool is that

[englishsandy]

What a cracking video I love Guy but which one of the Oak Ridge boys is the one with the briliant voice and the short grey hair and moustache?

He really puts feeling into his singing,love that man's voice name please?

[AWByrd1]

@englishsandy His name is Joe Bonsall.

[englishsandy]

@AWByrd1 tar for that he is such a great voice really cool.

[beenos1218]

It was Guy Penrod

[klankcybangy]

Hay ishtar are you talking about the one that sings the third verse than if so it is Guy Penrod he is the best you should look him up

[johndobbs1130]

Is having bad hair a requirement for being in this group?

[spiderchocolat3]

@johndobbs1130 yes, and EH&SS kept the tradition going lol :) ok, never mind, I don't want to start any arguments here.

[christian7gal7]

I really like this song... i like it so much it decides to get stuck in my head all the time ^_^

[christian7gal7]

I really really like this song ^_^ its so hard for me to stop listenin to it

[Wonderin29]

Im in the AA program because of different reasons but I have seem recovering alcholes stay in recovery for years and they love their new life. I can say only God can remove our addiction. Praise and glory be to him who reigns on high. I dont live a good life right now, but hopefully it will all change around here soon. I still have hope and faith.

[rettaleah]

great video,good meaning

[toonful]

GUY is the ONLY gospel singer,that could be an OAK.

[exdecondiva]

I think in no matter what we do in our lives we ALL have a little of Jesse Taylor in all of us! Love the MIGHTY OAKS!!!

[510rotten]

john3:16 for a man must born again

and in this song the baptismn of jessie taylor

soeaks os gospel truth and it is how it happened to me thoose many years ago

a life can be changed by the power of god and the message of christ

thank god for jesus and the cross he died upon

[toonful]

howdy,i'd like to tell you this,where it says born again,it suppose to be,"born from above",& not be as the fallen angels,in JUDE the first 7 verses,it is born from above,& born by the water,it's not being baptized,it's when mommy water breaks.i hope you have a KJV bible,& a Strong's Concordance,dr.strong took EVERY word & took it back to the real meanings,of different languages.I'm not arguing,i'm just telling you the truth,not traditions of man,& their shall be no rapture.

[toonful]

@510rotten John 3:16 has nothing to being born"again",it says FOR WHOM SO EVER "BELIEVE IN CHRIST",i hope you not thinking about a"rapture" cause it's very false teaching.

[HCFan39]

I really like the Oaks but the version of GVB

I prefer. I love Guy Penrod and his POWERFUL

voice. So glad he joined the Oaks at the end.

[hillbillyclimber]

this is awesome. i think this song has a powerful message. recently i was at church and a preacher recited these lyrics during a sermon as an illustration.

[imdmpimdmp]

I love this song... Sometimes I feel like I could be Jesse Taylor..

[exdecondiva]

Hey imdmpimdmp:I think in no matter what we do in our lives we ALL have a little of Jesse Taylor in all of us! Have a great Day! Love the MIGHTY OAKS!!! Always have for decades I have been a fan they are timeless! love this song great meaning!

[Wonderin29]

I heard this song awhile back, but hearing it today well its still amazing.

THE OAK RIDGE BOYS

[THETRADOGGFUL]

Please bring more of this guys too this site. What great music.

[tttriplettt]

Praise God. My fav. country/gospel quartet and my fav. lead singer on a song they both made popular again. Also noticed Joey can still jump for joy and Bill almost was joining him. Love it!!!!!

[edgehogfarmer09]

guy fits right in with the oak ridge boys!

[toonful]

very ture,& you can't say that about just anyone,but i could see guy with'em,..have a blessed day..

[DirtSeven]

excellent tune. Did Merle Haggard do a version of this???? Seems to me I heard it a long time ago!!!

[toonful]

yeah,he did,it's a great song written by,1 of the greatest song writers ever Johnny Russell,he wrote

"All I gotta do is Act Naturally,made Buck Owen,he also wrote,Red neck,white socks,&blue ribbon beer...have a good day.

[estelle715]

Russell was from my hometown in Fresno, CA. He wasn't born there but moved when he was 11.He was very talented!

[toonful]

was he as nice as i think,i saw him riding in a golf cart,several years ago,in opryland,b4 it closed,he was really nice to me..,have a very merry Christmas,& new year....i saw that on RFD-TV 2night at 8pm,est.him,& alot of others that have gone back home,like Grandpa jones,& others,will be on....take care,& God Bless U & URS....toonful

[estelle715]

He was very down to earth man. We moved from Fresno 6 yrs. ago,and are now in WI. Fresno has a few noteworthy ppl. WM.Saroyan was born there also Mike Conners {Mannix} Tom Seaver {baseball} I'm sure I'm missing more,but, I can;t remember more. My husband luvs RFD. Fresno is close to Bakersfield that why Owens and Russell got together,I guess. We got out tree up today and will decorate it tomorrow.We are expecting our 1st grand baby in 5 wks..a girl,we are thrilled! !

[mantle64]

George Jones did a great version of this on his 1974 album "In A Gospel Way".

[toonful]

did he also do, swing low sweet chaiot,on that1.? have a blessed day

[DPJ93]

Definitely one of the better Gaither songs :)

PS: What's up with all the thumb downs?

[Ambidextrouskater]

is the dude with the long beard supposed to be a wizard? just wondering

[SJA1949]

Thanks for sharing this.  First time I've seen anyone sing this and only audio version I have is by Tanya Tucker.

[dacfanIII]

I love the song Guy did, The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference..Man, what a job he did on that song..Anyone know if he has a website or a tour schedule anywhere??

[memlane3696]

Guy's first solo concert will be August 30 at the Music City Centre in Branson, MO - see you there!

[nanarita43]

Guy Penrod is not a "wanna be" anyone. He is an excellent gospel singer and was lead singer for the Gaither Vocal Band for over 13years. He recently left and will have his first solo concert in Branson in August. I have my tickets, too. If you like gospel music, try listening to "Knowing You'll Be There" by the Gaither Vocal Band.

[dacfanIII]

I just saw the Oak Ridge Boys this past weekend in Myrtle Beach..Great as usual!!..Love their new songs..The Boys Are Back, Boom Boom and Mama's Table are great!!..I've been listening to Guy Penrod for years and I don't see anything about him that is like William..I am a big fan of both these men..I think Duane brought him up basically because Guy is a great singer..Can't wait to see Guy when he comes to my area!!..Just my opinions :-)

[jking1951]

Just LOVE this song....Guy is awesome...his singing has really helped me to start worshiping in a different way. His first solo concert is 8/30/09 in Branson, Mo. I've got our tickets!!

[toonful]

Guy is good,but he's a willam lee golden wanna be,...but he's not,or ever will be...

[toonful]

well,you know everytime,i watch this atleast 1 time a day,..you're might be right,Guy can put it out,..he'll probably mellow like W.L.G,...he is good,..you have a blessed day...

[Oakswarrior]

That's Guy Penrod. The Gaither Vocal Band recorded this song in 1999, and Guy sang lead on it. That's why Duane brought him up.

[IshtarBonita]

What's that man's name?, (the one who joined in towards the end, whom sang the high part.) I see him alot but never known his name.

[genlleecsa1]

At 2:11, the man who sings the solo verse is Guy Penrod. Hope that was him! If not, post a counter position and I'll try to help if I can. :-)

[goodole1]

@genlleecsa1 Yes it is Guy Penrod

[rparker0]

@genlleecsa1 It is definately Guy Penrod.

[penguinlove1951]

@genlleecsa1 That man is definitley Guy Penrod.

[jbhpoohbear]

@genlleecsa1 U r so right, that was Guy Penrod, that sang with Bill Gaither for years.

[jbhpoohbear]

It was Guy Penrod, who sang for years with Bill Gaither. He just made the Mighty Oaks a little more popular, if that is possible.

[jbhpoohbear]

Yep, that was Guy.

[Lucit089]

@genlleecsa1 Yeah that's Guy, the Gaithers also sang this song, back when mark lowry and david phelps were in the group.

[toonful]

did you know johnny russell wrote this song

[IshtarBonita]

No... Cuz i dont even know who that is and i just heard this song not a couple days before i posted mi comment. lol

[toonful]

oh,im sorry,he was on the grand old opry alot,he wrote,"my redneck,white socks,& blue ribbon beer,...have a blessed day,johnny's dead now though....

[chellbelle43]

@IshtarBonita That is Guy Penrod...from the Gaither Brothers...Best around

[djfireman1000]

@IshtarBonita the guy that sang towards the end is in face Guy Penrod
