@jimboedwardlee: Let's see if that worldly logic hold any weight on judgment day. Gay people are into abominable behavior that the word of GOD/CHRIST speaks strongly against and your twisted logic will never make it right. You are confused and unclear about what the scriptures says and all you can do is struggle to offer some weak argument that is not gonna stand before CHRIST on judgment day. You say gays deserve every once of respect and next people like you will say the same for pedophiles.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker Your reference to standing before Christ on judgement day is just too much. Only God has that power to condemn someone's soul. You certainly seem to think you have a right to be judgemental. If I'm not mistaken, that's something Christians should avoid. Not to mention, you distract from this. People come listen to such powerful performances to listen to the music. They come for positivity. The come for the love of gospel music. Your negativity has no place here.
@godblessima: How do you know a Orange tree is a Orange tree...or a Apple tree is a Apple Tree? We know them by the fruit they bear....because they testify of them. Is it not written that a good tree cannot yeild wicked fruit...and likewise a wicked tree cannot yield good fruit because of the nature of the tree? Read the scripture and then apply it. Those are not just words written on a page....JESUS intended for us to apply these scriptures. The works of a man really do testify of him.
@37tonya: Did you see the UNSUNG documentary on the Drag Queen Sylvester? If not pull it up and see where he was member and how his funeral was done in full drag at the so-called alter of God. Some of this is just common sense. Also go to a site called ATOAST2WEALTH and listen to the facts about Walter Hawkins so you can see it is not gossip but a fact. His church was geared towards homosexuals and that's a fact. Go google Daryl Coley's story about his days when he was down with homosexuality.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker I am not gay. Yet I don't think you even know what the meaning of gay is. Gay people are human beings who deserve every ounce of respect and love as any other human being. That includes a spiritual refuge. I feel that within the next few decades people will laugh at the fear that gay people generated. Gay people have a meaning in human evolution that you cannot even fathom. It is about merging male/female energy in a way that is more advanced than current humanity.
No matter how many times I hear Bishop's songs, including this one, I have this great need to start "testifying" the everlasting love of GOD's only SON in my life. The melodies and harmonies are so beautiful; the lyrics are so powerful. If only I could tell him again how much he blessed my life through GOD's music in him. They lift me, they raise me out of retirement mode and makes me want to perform them instrumentally, as I did in the '70s. Thank you, Father, for the those wonderful times.
Donnie McClurklin says he is a ex-homosexual but yet he comes to celebrate the life of a open homosexual like Walter Hawkins. Walter led many boys astray into the homosexual lifestyle and don't bother to deny it because i got proof. You people care nothing about the true gospel....you hold these people up as true workers of GOD and they were not. Just because he can sing many of you look the other way. James Cleveland was another homo who misled many young men astray. STOP playing w/GOD !!
@DaOrigTruthSeeker If you got "proof" then I wonder where you got it.....no one else has been able to prove it and you have"proof".....you need to stop PLAYING with the rest of us....LOL
@37tonya PTL my sister. Just b/c someone was bound doesn't mean they can't be delivered. If someone showed you the proof, you wouldn't believe it. I AM the proof. James Cleveland, Walter Hawkins, & a lot more were/are gay. I pray they did get delivered, but God can't deliver us until acknowledge we're bound. Both made passes @ me when I was a child. We have a PC word 4 them today, but I'm old school, my word is perverts. The gifts & calling of God r w/o repentness.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker HOW DO U KNOW WHAT THESE PEOPLE ARE DOING? ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING? ARE U HOMOSEXUAL? THIS IS BETWEEN THEM AND GOD!!! GO AND FIX YOUR OWN LIFE AND LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE!!
@DaOrigTruthSeeker You have proof of what? If you uncover the fact that someone is gay. So what? What have you accomplished? You have accomplished nothing. You are like a child who has been told a story about good people and bad people. You go around trying to uncover the bad people - the universe is laughing at you because you are like an ape with a silly notion that keeps it pre-occupied with its own obsession.
this song,.. this song- so authentic, timely, compelling & powerful ! Whenever I hear it, I am reminded of a sermon Bishop Hawkins preached a few years back about 'cleaving to God & His Word- how that God has given us His commandments to protect us & to guide us. Also, God's Word provides benefits for our communities, our families, our selves and the Kingdom of God. If you're interested read Deut. 4-8, & chap 28 & Galatians. The Word of God is LIVING & POWERFUL & sharper then any 2 edge sword
The only way to write such lyrics one must have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ in such a way as to embrace His marvelous love and have such a thorough understanding of that love and a commitment to convey this message with every fiber of your being; as if your very existence depends upon it. When revelation knowledge meets an empty vessel, yielded and still; anointed by the creator to be that Devine intervention or human conduit by which the Father Himself speaks, "IT'S MARVELOUS!"
Who is singing the high part in the harmony before the choir comes in? Is that from the accompaniment? I thought it was Donnie at first but it wasn't... or am I tripping?
@BuffieVanderbilt but Donnie is very tall and Ted is tall. Donnie is a tall guy though, he makes everyone look short. Kirk Franklin is short, yes, but Byron may be like medium...
All three did wonderful.... All three brought an element of their own style to this song and all three blessed my soul by singing it in memory of Bishop Hawkins....
People stop comparing people's gift. We are all a part of the body of Christ!!! We need all parts to function as a WHOLE!!! What happen to, if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all!!!
I can't believe that someone that's as talented, as Donnie McClurkin doesn't know his limitation's. This is the one time he stepped out of the box, and tried something that simply was to much for him. His rendition of " Marvelous " was an insult to, "perfection". Understand, personally I like Donnie's music, but this was one song he should have just left alone.
@Huddyman100 This is a tribute to Bishop Hawkins. Bishop Hawkins AND Donnie sung this song when he was alive. I nthink Donnie did an outstanding job considering how close he was to Bishop.
@ShangoJamal hahaha... thats funny... i dont like 2 compare b/c we all have gifts that God has given us and its not right 2 do so... its just that Donnie's annointing is soooo heavy that only a selected few can really stand next to him and hold their own... Ted tried, but ....... :(
@preacherfemale I dunno...I've heard Ted sing & reach some WH songs, maybe not with the same power of donnie...but Ted got some range too. Better yet, there's a song on Ted & sheri's cd that he sang with WH; and Ted reached many of WH notes.
@ShangoJamal Yeah. God broke the mold of male Gospel Singers when he made Donnie. And what I love about Donnie is the fact that he is a thinking and emotional singer. There is a passion and a love affair for God with Donnie. I want Donnie to be 100 yrs old still singing just like that. Amen.
