Too young to remember Dr. CJ Johnson, but I was blessed by the songs that his son and grandchildren would sing at Little Rock. Those were good times! I miss hearing Dr. RJ Johnson singing "tell me how did you feel when you come out the wilderness." Can't wait to visit Atlanta to visit his church.

[woody11363]

[Anto18nio]

[ttyyeerrrr]

AWSOME!!!!!!!!

[jthauser]

I was listening to this song and my black friend looked at me weird, guess what? I don't care if I'm white if you're black, I'm alive!

[sweetberries18]

I heard this song in church on this past Sunday, a man by the name of Dr. Love sang it, although his version was a lot longer and a few verses different I still enjoyed hearing it. I think if you can sing this song you have a little talent lol, but it's always good to bless the lord in anyway you can. Great song thanks for the upload.

[Metalheadthea1]

I love this song!

[blessed1967]

You should hear Bishop Nathaniel Dixon of Bishopville, SC sing that song!

[Overfall1]

mmmmmmmmhmmmmm

[LUCKYDRUGMUSIC]

Praise The Lord Almighty !

[isaiah780]

this song is 1 of my favorits

[ttyyeerrrr]

This is wonderful.

[anj1185]

my grandfather was the author of this song it was stolen by CJ Johnson. they did not know about copy right

[Curiousme100]

@anj1185 Can you prove this?Helpful F.Y.I: To say something so strong against another without proof, is wrong(Exodus 20:16). This is a very strong allegations against Dr. C. J. Johnson,if you don't have any proof. If you or your family has proof of this then you may be entitled to royalties.

If not and it's hear say then you destroy his rep. and that's not good.

Think about what the Bible states about false accusers:Exodus 20:16 and I believe this applies towards one another. God Bless

[jal3961]

I ain't black, but I like this music,,, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism,,,  You see Only One CHURCH,,,,,,, The Church Of , Thru,, By,, Jesus Christ

[Curiousme100]

@jal3961 I'm glad that you enjoy music. You don't have to be a certain color to enjoy another cultures music. If is up lifting God, it' alright.

[fallingblack]

What a beautifully rich voice. Thanks for the upload.

[rmbb10]

Awesome; powerful indeed.

[leenicolelynn]

i sung this at church and i did good but no where near as good as him 

[dr09dr]

Reminds me of some little small churches back home in Millen, Georgia. New Light Baptist was my home church, but I enjoyed going to churches such as Mt. Carmel Baptist, Sand Hill Baptist, Needful, Kelsey Chapel and the list goes on and on. This is the type sound that I remember coming from these churches.

[utwobing]

This is my absolute favorite voice singing this song. There is something about his voice that just strikes. And make you think you better run! Get to the City of Refuge!

[Bridgettestube]

Now this is old time gospel SANGIING

[jralford357]

[mlr29325]

I remember this song when I was a child and I still love it.

[mremoore]

The one of the best gospel song written. Thanks to the Family for allowing the rest of the to hear it.

[oldschoolsituationz]

man this old music reminds me of why i am so proud to be a black man! we manifest a level of creativity that reflects god in earth. only god can take nothing and create something. we have done so for 400 years in this country. my sympathies to you for your loss and thank you for the post.

[ShadowColossi]

@oldschoolsituationz

It has nothing to do with being black. Black pride is racism. Do white people go around saying "I sure am proud to be white because Mozart was white and made white music for white people in a white culture." If it's not okay for white people, then it's not okay for black people, that's called equality. We have a black president, c'mon you should know this. Quit being stupid.

[Curiousme100]

@ShadowColossi Just a little F.Y.I. They don't have to say it, they just do it. Remember actions speaks louder than words. Being proud of your heritage isn't racism at all. You should know why we name things of ours Black or African American this and that. If you don't shame on you and wake up.

[MimiDove9]

@ShadowColossi What does the Bible say about pride in one's ancestry or culture? The Jews were racist toward Genntiles...how did Jesus Christ handle this and what did he have to say....always Christians should look to the Word of God and follow Jesus believe what he says as Truth. We have leave behind the elementary principles of this earth and follow Jesus. Pride is number one sin....period.

[yoink1979]

This is my song!!!!!!!! You better run to the city of refuge

[rjohnsonn]

[jpat57]

This is us (Black Folks), what has happen to us as a people? How far will we stray from our heritage before we realize we've lost our way home?

[icebergtip]

I most truly agree with. Especially due to the new gospel movement. I love gospel both old and new but the old is not regconized as much as it needs to be.

[jbcalloway]

Yes I love this hymn it is the truth you better run because the Devil is real,real and very real.Check out my Pastor Rev. Curtis Raines Sr. sing you better run.

[aymilyon]

Well maybe if we pray and pray with sincerity, God will grant it to us. Because I am with you we need to go back to the Old Land Mark. Hang in there with the Old Skol. Sister D

[aymilyon]

I am so glad that even as a young person, I loved this kind of music. I was about 15 when I heard this one, I am now 68 and I still love them. Dr. C.J. was in a class all by himself. Thank you for this, One of my favorites. Sister D
