  • The tears will not stop falling....What an annointing song...Thank you Bishop Hawkins...I thank God for giving you to us for a time..You are greatly missed.

  • Every single time I hear this time I am blessed!!

  • Absolutely Love Miss Melanie Daniels (flowered dress) .MUST SEE her singing with LeAndria Johnson (Sunday’s Best) and Michael Pugh (at Allen Cathedral). "Pass the Mic" Awesome!

  • 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

  • You can't find many old holy ghost singers to where you can feel the presence of God ....This is a keep sake

  • RIP Walter Hawkins

  • What album is this song on?

  • I miss him! What a wonderful gift!

  • so beautiful!

  • He sang until he was called home. What a gift.

  • the piano player acts like he dont no the song

  • @bhebrews1214

    very possible. this song is 25+, close to 30 years old. stepping out on limb and going to say, if you didn't hear it growing up, you probably haven't heard it. i haven't heard this on the radio since AM. lots of younger musicians, no disrespect - it's just a whole lot of material to cover. look at the folks that came of stage to sing. you only have 2.5 on the initial background parts.

  • @LUV1906 yeah i hear you its just that ive always been a hawkins fan and never saw a bad moment in there music careers' but itz all for Christ

  • Thank God for your gifts to the Body of Christ.

  • Rest in peace bishop WE HAD A GOOD TIME THAT NIGHT

  • Rest in peace bishop

  • THANK U JESUS ' SO SO MARVELOUS

  • I love this song!!!

  • Bishop Hawkins was an inspiration in my life I learned so much about the word of God thru his ministry. Regardless of anything that has been said about Bishop I loved him jst as he was Gods servant if I only had an oppurtunity to express to him the seeds that he planted in my spirit when I was jst a kid. God Bless U Bishop Hawkins and the entire Hawkins family.

  • MY 2 CHOIR DIRECTORS @ LOVE CENTER - THE BAY AREA'S "COMMUNITY IN PRAISE CHOIR"!!!!!! GLORY TO GOD~

    AMEN!

  • AWESOME, STILL!

  • Woke up with this song in my spirit..God bless you Bishop Walter Hawkins, Rest In Peace.......... and yes...HE IS MARVELOUS!

  • This man is truly a remarkable singer, songwriter and arranger who has a signature voice! There is no mistaking him for some other singer when you hear his recordings! GOD bless you! You now have "[gone] up yonder to be with the LORD!"

    On another note, I never had the opportunity to hear Bishop Hawkins preach! Was his preaching as good as his music ability?

  • @lovingwaters Yes his Preaching was great, I've been a memeber of Love center for years. I have many CD's of his preaching.

  • @hollyhoodjai What is most striking about this video is that we can clearly see that he had experienced significant physical decline. However, Hawkins voice (as far as I can tell) I very much intact!

  • What a TRUE legend and icon. This is a HUGE loss for gospel music. Today's gospel music hasn't produced anything close to Walter Hawkins! Rest in peace Walter!

  • May God be praised!

    Walter Hawkins has been a blessing to many souls. His music has ministered to me since I was a young man starting out in the music ministry, helping me to rise above mediocrity and strive for the excellence that God demands.

    There is no doubt that God is marvelous because He shared Walter with the rest of us. Shared him in an everlasting manner. I thank God for Walter and I will truly miss him, but as Walter serenades God and the heavenly host, our spiritual connection wi
