This is my FAVORITE song. I've been listening to Commissioned since I was younger. Fred Hammond is one of my absolute favorite singers. His ministry through song is so powerful. He is a true inspiration. No matter what I am going through, there is a song from his repotiore that fits my mood, the ocassion, and it always seems to help me put things back into perspective. I would love for a Commission reunion to come again.....Thank you so much for posting this one!
This is the first time i heard this song today. I just got 'Saved' 10 days ago. Glory to God. I really don't care to much for Gospel music, but since i came to the Lord i going to force myself to listen. Some i'm learing to like, but i really like the message to this, & I like the way Fred is singing it.
actually his voice is a lot better now than it was back then, he has added a lot to his technique over the years, your voice can only get better with age.
Fred still has his talent because he is still faithful and behind all of the album and fame which comes with it he is making his main focus is to worship GOD, many Gospel artist lose track sadly.
i love this song...this when fred was little fred!!lol naw this song has lasted through they ages and still ministers to me twenty yrs later!! timeless classic
I love this song so much. It has so much flavor in it. This song is truly a worship song, and have a deep meaning!!!! They need to get back together, and do a concert of some sort !!! Thank you for posting this song! :O) Pat, but my friends call me Butter !
Wooow this song is amazing! It touches my heart deeply. How can Jesus forgive me, I was so lost in Amsterdam till 8 years ago He brought me home. Jesus loved me, He loved us first. Thanks Fred for writing this beautiful song.
Love my brother Fred - this is an amazing old school version - but I have to say, I love the more recent versions. There is a power in the song now that wasn't as apparent earlier - we all go through things, a brokenness that adds depth to our ministry. I think he ministers that song even more powerfully now.
Lord have mercy brutha! What a classic post! This is when I got introduced to Commissioned. In NC and VA, the Winans and Commissioned, Witness, Lexi and Mike E (anybody remember him??? If you got posts, please put'em up!)Dennis Alston, Dawkins & Dawkins were the bomb! This was gospel breakin' out of the box, yet keeping Christ first! U cant appreciate Fred without the value of Commissioned. Thanks bro!
Man...Mike E was ahead of his time, right? He was soooo underrated and soooo anointed! It sure aint nothin! (LOL) I had the cassette...I spliced it beyond repair...! (LOL)
When I got saved back in 91 a friend gave me a tape with this song on it, and it touched me so much that when I began to sing it I could not understand why it was I would start crying. Now I know. There was change happening in my heart. I've been a Fred Hammond fan ever since. This brother is a worshiper. We can always find negative things to say about the brethren, let him who is without sin throw the first stone. Read Romans 3:23-31.
I just can't understand how someone could possibly say anything negative about this man (Fred). He revolutionized gospel music by making it ok to dance and sing and let loose like David did back in the day. He wrote songs JUST LIKE THIS SONG that have helped turn people to Jesus Christ. As a PROUD MILITARY MEMBER, I use his songs to help me get through the struggles of defending our nation's freedom. I love all, but just find it difficult to understand how someone could dislike this man of God..
i don't wanna mess up my spirit right now...but.....i disagree with u on this....because..he was trying to find himself...and when he did he revamped outside of commissioned and did his own...but now...he is Pastor....he is more concecrated now ever...but imma get my tears......
I have no problem with your disagreement, but consider this, watch this video and then watch a recent video of Fred's and see which one touches you more. I have no negatives to say about the man as some here think, but his focus has changed from the early days, when everything would stop for a 'moving' of the spirit. Now it seems more important that the dancers are in time and that the 'image' that he portrays is hip and cool. The bible says, come out from among them, not try to be like them.
The bible does also say that you have to become all things to win souls unto Christ. Brother I understand what you're saying but as long as hes good in God's eyes thats all that matters..
Oh My GOD!! I went to that concert I was 10 my mom was 30 her n the other newly saved girls could not contain their selves lol she had 2 leave out my stepdad got jealous lol. RIP mom I miss u.
I remember my mother use to play this song when me and my twin sister when we was growing and she use to sit there and cry a little bit. As I got older and now with better understanding about life. I now know why she cry. This song hits so close to home.
Fred shouldve kept the lead on this song! everybody tried to do a solo thing instead staying with the flow of the song..i see why they went their seperate ways.
I like the album version...
