@ wiggpusha I just want u to know that you are in my prayers and that God is Able!! Addictions are the lie of the devil, so don't believe his lies and believe what God says about U.... Philip 4:13 states:..."U can do all things through Christ who strengthens u!" Pray for your healing, GET HELP and surround yourself with the things and the people of God ( gospel music, church, the word, etc)..and believe that with God's help, you will see the victory over your circumstances...starting TODAY!!!!!

@bigdaddynumbah1, You're right. I highly recommend their Christmas CD.

[parebear012]

This sound is so inspiring!!!

[PezzodaNovanta1]

This song is in the movie House Party part 2 with Kid n Play! It was on the other day.

[MsClanfan]

I read that the reason for the up temple is because they had a certain amount of time to do this song. So, the choice was to up the temple. It's all good to me.

[MsClanfan]

I love it

[kpeezy757]

This tweeked tempo was probably more TV friendly. I love this song, but I don't like

this version. @slurpee, the singer at 1:43 is Patricia Lacey-Aiken, not Ann Nesby.

[bigdaddynumbah1]

@kpeezy757 Ann Nesby is at 2:13. Just adding on to what you were saying.

[slurrrpee]

@kpeezy757 Thanks for the clarification!

[WinsomeJohnny]

They were singing live for television, they HAD to speed it up.

[Phillyguy30]

The tempo is too quick

[mrg1850]

It is much faster than the original version...I wished they had sung it @ the original speed...probably cuz they had to do the song in a certain amount of minutes...still my fav

[jewells051]

i totally love this, used to have the original video on a tape :)x and i have this tune on a cd :)x

[slurrrpee]

anyone know the name of the lead singer at 1:43? i like her voice

[Memyai]

@slurrrpee Ann Nesby, she awesome!

[LutherLaBelle]

@slurrrpee Her name is Patricia "PATTY" Lacy she used to be one of Luther Vandross' background vocalist for the last few years of his career.

[slurrrpee]

Mrs. Nesby, thank you SO MUCH, posting this. Such a crisp, tight, well rehearsed performance. Once again, my eyes get moist, seeing yours and all those shining beautiful faces pleading for everyone; to "be optimistic." I miss the original video, so I'm extra glad, for this.
