  • They got like jesus was comin

  • This is a very inspiring song by John but the greatest performance came from the late great Mahalia Jackson...

  • Come back home brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • Him and Smokie Norful confuse me every now & then hahahaha

  • No rhythm was lost on this day.

  • Does anyone else think that John Legend kind of looks like a black Joseph Gordon Levitt?

  • What a great thing for John Legend to do for the Calvary Baptist Church. This is so cool... and a great performance.

  • wish he should surprise my church!! i'm down in the Deep South too!!!

  • it is the james brown blues brothers church!!

  • No amount of Atheist either Christopher Hitchens, George Carlin, Richard Dawkins will EVER prove to me that there's no such thing as a higher being when a black person belts out a note!

    Sorry. Even if you ARE black who grew up in an all black church converted to Atheism, can be sure will be able to find a album from motown sitting right next to Jimi Hendrix and Marilyn Mason or Metallica. lol

  • @Sileni Well, I wish everything was that easy. Who needs to do science? Just listen to music! Sounds great.

  • @projectpat0392 Atheism aren't the only ones involved in science nor pushing the advancement of human evolution; However it is possible to find a good majority of them to being atheist. Then again science has nothing to do with music now really does it?

  • @Sileni How do you think you are able to listen to this? Magic?

  • @projectpat0392 Look go watch a Christopher Hitchens or Richard Dawkins video, lost interest in getting involved with a tit-for-tat like 144 hours ago.

    Yeah that's what this whole entire conversation is based on "Magic". Leave me alone.

  • this is soo gooooooooooooooooood!

    type in Layefa's wave summerjoy

  • @DreamBelieverAchieve2...They mostly know Him, Because he was raised there. Amen!!!

  • awesome!!!!!

    

  • Love it, Awesome - Go John from jodiesjourneycom

  • gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyy

  • i love how much swag he has while singing.

  • u cannot serve GOD and the devil at the same time.. and John Legend knows that nobody cant play with this Almighty God!

  • Comment removed

  • @miszhalie So... your stating that he's a part of the Illuminati sect? Sweet!

  • Not to be malicious, but why didn't he stay for the rest of the service and get a word? You just do your thing and leave..huh? Not to be judgmental of this awesome vocalist/musician, but this for all the other people as well making negative comments about him...NOBODY CAN HIDE ANYTHING FROM GOD WHEN HE KNOWS && - SEE EVERYTHING, so let us all be mindful to have a REAL contrite spirit which means "quick to repent" and never return what we've repented of! Be blessed && - SEEK GOD 4 REAL!

  • @lilnin2010 i was thinking the same thing why he didn't come for the beginning and stay till the end?

  • @kaianathomz I'm guessing because he don't want his spirit to be corrected!

  • @kaianathomz Another thing I notice is PRIDE!

  • i love the atmosphere here compared to the stupid church i go to -_-"

  • i think the grannys are cute :D:D

    

  • Does anyone know PURE LIGHT? ... and the avenues it brang ... I cant' hear it in the voices when the people sing.

  • Watching the video is amazing, but being there could have made the most ardent athiest throw a 'Thank you Jesus!'. LOL!  Great energy.

  • I AM SO SORRY NO OFFENCE TO JOHN LEGEND BUT....is he really this famous to make people suprised and shocked at him coming to a church???

  • @DreamBelieveAchieve2 He's one of the most successful artists of all time, and a devoted Christian. So yes.

  • true that....he could have just stepped in and named himself Roger Hart and a few people would have realized who he was. The cameras tend to give it away though...

  • @DreamBelieveAchieve2 is that a joke ? John Legend is huge... and God bless him for remembering his roots...

  • @DreamBelieveAchieve2 Well, I hadn't heard of him until recently, but then I realized that yes, he is indeed very well known and very popular and successful! It's likely that the majority of the people in the church knew who he was.

  • JL is one of the only famous successful artists who didn't forget his roots.

  • the day i turn 18 im joining a black church.

    im white btw

  • @ThatGirl4Christ1 haha wat ever floats ur boat ive been to a mexican church and im only 25 percent and even tho i understod it i felt out of place i was like the only white person cause i was with my full mexican aunt weird times haaa

  • @ThatGirl4Christ1 :

    I'm white btw.

  • @PrebenOlsen90 LLS that's really funny

  • @PrebenOlsen90 hahahahHAHA

  • @PrebenOlsen90 Go lille drenge! Du gjør helt rett.

  • @PrebenOlsen90 pick up a guitar and listen to Tom Jones.

  • @PrebenOlsen90 better stay white, you see the benefits of it later....just a joke, but you are better off white.

  • wow i wanne be there in the church :O =-=^_^=-=

NO, YOUVE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DONT STOP THIS IS SCARY. PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MIN. WHEN YOUR DONR PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS.

  • @christian65432 I read the whole thing. Send me a private message in three days see that I'm still alive.

  • WOW ... amazing. Makes me honestly want to return to the church, the honesty in the voice and the happiness is the crowd, yea, makes me think strongly about it.

  • Comment removed

  • all the baptists have iPhones

  • We need not to vilify and demonize people who desire to come to church! I thank God for artists like John Legend who have a desire to be in God's presence and among His people. For all the haters posting on this video, you don't know what work God is doing in the hearts and lives of people. He/She without sin cast the first stone! I love John Legend and his music. God bless you, brother!

  • the microphone on what ever they used to record was garbage + the actual mics

  • Back off of John. John performs soul music. There's nothing devilish about what he does. Some of you have no idea what you're talking about. Keep doing great work Brother Legend.

  • even if you like what he's saying or not, you don't know his testimony. you do have to pick one or the other but at the same time this just may reach someone.

  • good he went to church bt i mean who does he sings to GOD or the World? big difference there and you DONT perform to church or even GOD, You WORSHIP GOD

  • I dislike this not because I'm Satan but because this truly saddens me...he has no idea what he's singing...

  • too bad he's singing a shit song

  • Comment removed

  • @MattaniE Who does he work with that you know for a FACT worships the devil? Seems like your a little judgmental there....

  • @man012able Jay-z, Kanye west etc. Never heard of illuminati..look it up.. Im just so upset that people are like this you know.. Just for money...

  • @MattaniE Only a fool would believe that a group of black new money rappers would be apart of a "secret society" filled with old money white individuals. Do some REAL research on the elite groups in America and not videos made by paranoid conspiracy theorists. Stop trying to play God and leave all the judging to Him.

  • @man012able I am NOT playing God! Its obvious they are doing it for the money!! listen to the songs carefully!!!

  • @MattaniE They're doing it for the money and materialism, but that has nothing to do with the Illuminati. Don't let these YouTube videos fool you. The heads of their labels might have some 'evil' up their sleeve, but they have nothing to do with it. You can call them pawns at best, but for you to actually believe they're apart of an ancient society like that...you'd have to be a fool!

  • @man012able I am NOT playing God! Its obvious they are doing it for the money!! listen to the songs carefully!!!

  • @MattaniE What does John singing to God in a chruch have to do with money?! Think before you press "post"

  • @man012able no stop believing an some fictitious imaginary friend in the sky, change your own reality and stop thinking there are others to do it for you. People should be allowed to judge and have their own opinions idiot, please stfu.

  • @itsanawesomeguy I was talking to the person who asked why is John Legend in church when he sings secular music and is in illuminati. Did I strike a nerve?

  • @man012able how did you strike a nerve imbecile? I just told you the truth straight up and you don't even argue back.

  • @itsanawesomeguyYou You came into our convo and told me YOUR truth which I never asked nor care for. "Imbecile"? lmao Yeah... I hit a nerve LOL

  • @man012able that makes no sense, you still fail to argue back, w.e this is a waste of time, peace retard

  • @itsanawesomeguy i fimd your argument amusing

  • @man012able exactly what iv been saying you sir put it into perfect words 

  • where do white people go to church?

  • well all i can say is God can use anybody he wants to do what he want even the ones who dont believe.sum ppl dont know but at one point and time john legend didnt believe.so not calling anyone out but if the shoe fits wear it but that should be enough right there to make you c your not in control of nothing in this world ha ha aint God good yall. thats so true tavuchnuche its very easy

  • @WENDYHANNA062385 what? I'm confused, what are you saying? are you agreeing with tavuchnuche?

  • God can use anyone He wants to in order to uplift the poor in spirit, the downtrodden, people who are lonely or in need. Only Love can bring Joy into the heart of man. Stop comparing this man's heart or intensions to Jesus' heart or intensions. He's a sinner saved by grace, just like the rest of us. I'm glad to see that John allowed God to use him in any capacity.

  • how come he didnt stay for church

  • @number1bap Maybe because God had better plan for him.

  • this is how the devil pretends to be a saved man, becarefull churchs it is easy to be fooled

  • @tavuchnuche - people like you makes no sense. He never said he was saved or pretended to be saved and he didn't come to ask for an offering, so he wasn't trying to fool anyone.. Lord have mercy, get it together please!

  • @tavuchnuche Wow ye who is without sin, let him cast the first stone. What do you know about this mans heart or personal relationship with God. Even if he is not living right the Word says that what the devil meant for evil God meant for good. An atheist said it made them smile to watch this video. But God! Instead of publicly blasting him try privately praying for him. For it is not God's will that ANY of His sheep be lost, even you. Blessed and forgiving for you may one day need it

  • I'm an atheist but this puts a smile on my face every time I see it :)

  • all the hoodrats to the floor lol

  • thank you Lord

  • He looks like Shia Labeouf

  • LET'S OVERLOOK THEIR FLAWS AND FEAST ON THEIR MUSIC

  • ALL I WANNA DO IS SING THANX TO THE LORD AND THIS MAN...I WOULD KILL FOR A COLLABO

  • yall supposed tah be praising the lord...busting yall phones out to take pictures...lemme stop lol

  • Almost makes me want to go to church

  • @sk8er7991 ... yep, almost.

  • @sk8er7991 Then go. I recommend it on the strongest

  • You do all know that John Legend is a bit of an agnostic, right? He is enough of a sport that he can acknowledge that the church is part of his roots and he can pull off doing a gospel song while being enthusiastic about it. If you don't believe me google John Legend and atheist and click on the first link that says celeb atheists - John Legend. John is not an actual atheist but you can read his actual views there on faith, religion and God.

  • @Reddyeye You took his statement totally out of context. By saying, that he's not religious right now, doesn't mean that he's an atheist. He does have faith and believes.

  • @Reddyeye I saw the page it said John LENNON not John LEGEND dang at least read it right

  • LOVE HIM

  • Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh How i got overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how i got overrrrrrr oh yes oh yes sing it with me oh yes lol

  • This man is one of my idols.

  • Damn they know church is made to sing LOL

  • HAHAHHAAH 2:16 Watch her in the back WEIRD!

  • Alright now sopranos! I love it. They are not even concerned about John, singing their parts and honoring God!

  • great

  • amazing, brilliant, and filled with soul, love, humility and surrender ~ thank you, John :)

  • Why didn't he stay for the whole service LOL Now no one paid attention to the preaching. They're all like GIRRRRL DID U SEE JOHN HE SO FINEEE GIRLLL lmao well I guess if he stayed it woulda been worse lol I don't blame him now that I think about it.

  • I loved every bit of this....& that face at 5:36-5:38 LOL John was feelin' it!!!!!!!

  • Lol did you see that blue matching neck brace @ 2:10 ROTFL!!!!

  • I don't know, when he was introduced, some of those church ladies got happy but it wasn't the Spirit.

  • @thoughtful LOL OMG LOL.. you're bad .

  • why am crying..i wanna attend and hear this kind of service..

  • @cadrmin you should go to one its really cool

  • the one person that dislikes this video is actually Satan.

  • @mikeyp0914 Shut the fuck up. 

  • @mikeyp0914 are you a Christian? lol...wow.so we have 12 Satans now right? lol...amazed at your ignorance.

  • @RyMuEntertainment and I am amazed how some people can not understand humor.. yes, it is about you (in case you thought different)

  • @The17seconds I saw nothing that pointed to humor (maybe you meant sarcasm),no context clue whatsoever. u know nothing about me and I know nothing about you so I could only go based on the statement you made. try an LOL next time, maybe others would get it.

  • @RyMuEntertainment well if you dont understand the joke about satan that someone made and you started calling that ignorance so yeah you obviously do not understand humor:P

  • @The17seconds again there was nothing funny about it other the fact of ignorance,hence my lol, but again carry on.

  • @RyMuEntertainment you know when you go to school you have to actually read poetry and analyze it? well it is needed that if someone says to you "take a seat" you wouldn`t actually take a chair and bring it to your home. The same in this situation. the person who said that the one that disliked this video is a satan does not really mean that satan come from hell and watched this video and disliked it. because of poeple like you other countries think that all americans are stupid. well done.

  • @The17seconds you're really still on it? wow.Let's not talk about stupidity because you have already demonstrated that. If you were able to READ and UNDERSTAND,not only analyze, then you would have seen why I said what I had said... non the less, I'm not an American, so your statement does not apply to me. there you go assuming something (the same crime you accuse me of), no? again...carry on. Let the piano finish his piece. How I got over...easy.bye

  • Is that the dude from "She's Gotta Have It" at the end. John Canada Terrell ?

  • Who is the ONE butthole who came here and disliked this?

  • Off the Hook!!! Let's do it again John, don't stay gone too long. Love You!

  • I know the people that skip churched that Sunday are mad!

  • I absolutely love this video. Johnny was like a son to us and played for my husband's church in Scranton during his college years. And he has not changed one bit. He was a gifted and anointed young man then and now. God bless and keep you Johnny.

  • SING DADDY!!!!! JOHN IS MY DAD YALL!!!!

  • I have a brand new respect for this young man, God bless you John Legend.

  • Praise the Lord Everybody!!!

  • Amazing!

    !ikimonogakari2!~ None are so blind as those who do not see.

  • Wonderful!! Great to see John singing for the Lord again! Wish he would make an "ALL CHRISTIAN" CD!!!! You have a GIFT FROM GOD JOHN!! GLORIFY JESUS!!

  • This is HEAVENLY! Love this artist!

  • Due to social media if John would have stayed the whole town would have showed up.

  • He touched my soul! YEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • JOHN DO A GOSPEL CD!!!!! MILLIONS MYSELF INCLUDED WOULD BUY IT!!!!!

  • He is so humble. I love him.

  • muito bom

    

  • I wish John Legend would come to my church!

  • my college gospel choir ministered here my freshman year.

  • WOW John you make one proud... remembering God and thanking Him for your blessings... (**,)

  • very nice

    

  • That's Epic. To have someone of that caliber come into a church and put on a performance.

    THE NEXT BEST THING TO STEVIE AND RAY!!!

  • Philly loves John Legend!

  • Go John...this is one of my gospel favorites!

    Love and Blessings,

  • SING JOHN !

  • This is an excellent display of "gospel roots still growing in John Legend." I hope he will consider recording a gospel CD??

    god Bless you John!!!

  • great john

  • Despite the fact that I am the biggest atheist going I just adore gospel music. I love the celebration and harmonies and the sheer beauty of singing from the deepest depths of your soul. If only the songs weren't all about god and religion :(

  • I love this clip!! I just wish he had stayed for the whole service, and got some of the Word into his spirit.

  • Hmmmm....while I am a HUGE John Legend fan.....I would have been more impressed by this had he stayed for the actual church service rather than DISRUPT service.

  • What camera did you all use to film this? :)

  • makes me cry.......john better starts praising God

  • makes me cry

  • 4:39 CLAP, CLAP, CLAP :D !

  • Not religious but I really enjoyed this..

  • amazing! God bless you JOhn Legend! love you

  • Where are the white people?

  • @j373947 This is a serious question to any baptists out there. As a white guy would I be welcome if I came in off the street and wanted to sit on a service or is that just not done?

  • @yazzman13

    At this Baptist church we do have White members and Latino members. No, not many because of the makeup of the neighborhood. But all are welcomed and I'm sure the same is true at any Baptist church. Christ calls for us to love God and love our neighbor.

  • @probroyal1 thank you that is good to know.

  • @yazzman13 idk why ur asking j373947...yea you would be welcome to go to the church. even homeless ppl come to my church off the streets and theyre welcome just like everybody else whether theyre black white or whatever.

  • @ChefBoiHungryBeatz its just in England we don't really have this kind of thing and as a lover of soul/gospel music I have always wanted to attend a service but would be a bit worried as being seen as a tourist in some way disrespecting the relgion if I just pitched up.

  • @yazzman13 First and foremost everyone is welcome in God's house....so you should never feel worried about coming to check out a service. In fact I have been in churches in cities like Chicago and New York City where foreign tour groups include a black church service as a part of their tour experience. In fact, in Harlem there are special gospel tours even during the week where churches open their doors and conduct services specifically for tour groups.

  • @yazzman13

    yes you would be welcome, it doesnt matter what color your race is if you are coming to serve christ!!!

  • @j373947 lol...ummm Whites don't usually attend these kinds of churches...
