This song was was sung at my Beloved Pop's funeral. The words are powerful and each time I hear it, it never fails to make me tearful and so grateful and trusting in God. God's Greatest Blessings to all who believe steadfastly and do not grow weary.
thank you so much friend this is the first time i heard this song.Couldnt have come at a better time for me i really needed some peace in myheart right about now praise god and thank you lionel for sharing this beautiful prayer with us im sure im not the onlyone to be saved by thismost inspirational song i love you god
I think it's funny how people will hide behind thier religion yet they lack spirituality! Religion is simply what you practice..hell, sex, dancing, love, writing can be considered religions..but people....where is your spirit. Will you have faith in the spirit, And stand with that?
people kill me when they are so called born again...people claiming religion are the most hypocritical judmental people on the earth! Monifah did a good job on this....
WOW. the comments are really detracting and distracting. Sing Monifah!!!!!!!! I could care less what your wearing. I feel the spirit and for me, that's what counts. Don't forget....God will use a sinner to get his point across. And aren't we all sinners.......?
You couldn't have said it better Stew. If people really paid attention every last one of the disciples were afflicted with some sort of issue they needed to overcome. They overcame it via the power, love and mercy of the lord.
idaniel4, Maybe you need to look within yourself on that one....no matter what she's wearing, focus on the message...Ask God to deal with you personally one-on-one inside of you so that you can look at those images (beautiful Women) & see them for what they are....Images.
Do spinning teacups fly around in your world? Sorry, if it walks like a duck...
What ever happened to "let not your good be evil spoken of?" Women have a responsibility to cover that you know what up. Brothers have to do their part of course, but women need to understand, you can't cause your brothers to stumble and not be held responsible. That outfit is not appropriate anytime, any place but in the bedroom with your husband. That is a lingerie design, would you wear that to your church?
idaniel4, the bottom line is this....It is NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY of the woman you are looking at, but your responsibility & until you (generally speaking) take personal responsibility instead of blaming others, than thats when that person can TRULY began to grow in the things of GOD & all of his glory for your life. To take YOUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY is truly a manifestation of the spirit of humility in your life & THAT IS when God can mold you to who he truly wants you to be.
One more comment. I dont blame the likes of Monifah as much as I blame you and I for letting the world just plaster the Lord's name on just anything. The gospel community (gen speaking) is allowing the world to plaster the name of the Lord on just anything including this trash. I am a 30 sumthin sing. bro. practicing abstinence and a renewed faith for years (plural), so don't worry about me, I am more responsible than 90% of the folks I meet due to grace and a strong faith conviction.
I actually feel sorry for you, claiming to walk in the Lord while OBVIOUSLY judging everyone else instead of yourself. I Have Truly Come to the acceptance that I can't change others , I know that I can only change me, because I turned my life over to Christ to ALLOW HIM TO MOLD ME. You still refuse tobe responsible for you. I've been celibate for almost 3yrs. & it is God alone that keeps me. I don't blame all sexy men for my stumbling, only myself.
Stop using the name of LORD for your issues & deal with yourself & stop blaming others.
God loves ALL OF US (including the sinners) & NONE OF US ARE WITHOUT SIN. 1thing that I know for sure & that is that GOD USES ALL CHANNELS including those in the world's realm to reach multitudes of people. I work in the entertainment industry, & The Lord Moves throughout using many vessels. The LORD has used me in so many ways you can't imagine to bring people to Christ. Peace & nice debating with you.
idaniel4, you can't cause your brothers to stumble and not be held responsible? Surely you couldn't possibly expect someone who is CLEARY & VERY MUCH obviously operating in the world, NOT the body of Christ to live up to tsuch a responsiblility. besides, I'm sure you've encountered woman wearing far less than Monifah. When you Once again allow GOD to work on that flawed area within you that could very well cause you to stumble, he will keep you in that hour of weakness & give you a way out.
Good recording, but that album cover, I'm sorry. As a man, this song makes me almost forget the good lawd. That outfit looks like lingerie. I can't believe anyone would choose to put that outfit on a "christian" recording cover.
Let's be sure we walk in the light, cause the outfit reminds me of darkness, as in after midnight darkness, 2:00 in the morning darkness, 3;00 one more time darkness.... can I get a witness?
Monifah - beautifully sung... I remember when I first heard her sing it - I thought "Lionel Richie must be really proud that she sang this song so well'! such praise in her voice! Thank you Lord!
You can't give up. No matter what you are going thru it will only make you stronger. You have to stay strong and keep the faith. Trust and believe that God has a bigger and better plan for your life. He never said life was going to be easy. We will always have trials and tribulations but we have to believe in the Lord and know that he wouldn't give us what he thought we couldn't handle.
Stay srong and continue to put your faith in God you will make it through.
that cover -dress is inappropriate for the song The song n voice are beautiful though
