OK U-TUBE family I am looking for a old school song but I cannot remember the name of it but at the end of the song the choir beak off into different parts as so: S keep on holding on keep on holding to his hand. Altos : don't give up don't give in no matter what the world says you can win. Tenors : keep on holding, holding to his hand, keep on holding --keep on holding on. Then the choir start to sing the alto line all together. Can someone please help me? Post it on here . God Bless.

To BigBennManning: Is your grandmother's name joAnn Anderson? I remember her. I was singing when this was recorded. i was a member of this choir from 1976-1982, when i moved out of state. joAnn was a dear friend. I am now an ordained pastor, graduated from seminary with a mawster's of Divinity degree and am currently working on a doctorate. New Jerusalem had a lot to do with my Christian formation. i praise God for Rev. Flyd, jeff, Kenny, Curtis, and the entire NJ Family.

[kbjordan08]

Brenda Battle Jordan was a member of Jerusalem's Mass choir at this time and is singing on all of  the Hit songs, of that time,i even had some solos,too,thanks Jeff.

[shirleypearl]

I first heard this truly spiritual song in the early 1970s on a 45 record by the Jackson Family of Mississippi. That version is awesome too. If anyone has it, please share it. Thank you.

[7SoulDeep7]

Man's life without God has no meaning; God's life without the human life(carried out and accomplished by Christ, the first God-man) has no expression.

OMG. We used to sing this during my young years in music ministry back in the 80's. This is sho nuff great gospel that is timeless.

I am going to pull this out just for her as a surprise.

[Rowoches]

I'm not familiar with the song, "Jesus Is The Light" from New Jerusalem. However, I do know of "The Lord Is My Light" which I have also posted on here a while ago. I'll look around if I can get information about "Jesus Is The Light."

[drivergurl]

Are you looking for "Jesus Is The Light" from Florida Mass Choir? The opening lyrics are "Jesus is the light, that shineth in me, that shineth in me".

[snowman1919]

It's by Florida Mass Choir and it's on youtube

[baybjr]

@Angeelibbett are you talking about "Jesus is the Light that Shineth in me" ? The Florida Mass sings the original recorded version I believe and Donald Vails has a version as well.

Hope this helps!

[baybjr]

@Angeelibbett maybe the song you are referring to is "Jesus is the Light that Shineth in me". The Florida Mass Choir recorded the original version I believe and Donald Vails has a version as well.

hope this helps!

[Angeelibbett]

OMG! this brought so many tears to my eyes,!! my cousin in lansing found it on here and sent it to me on facebook! I can remember sunday mornings getting ready for church and hearing this on the radio with sam williams!!

[streyev]

Gotta wear this World as a lose garment.

[constancelashun]

Personally, this is one of favorite gospel songs. This world is not my home. I'm just passing by. I am a stranger in the earth. I am claiming Heaven to be my next home for eternity.

[kbkcogic]

Saturday night sing? I miss that program. I saw Commission before that got famous while in the audience. They should put some of the reruns on TV or at least YouTube(Hint Mr.Rowoches)

[Rowoches]

I agree...it would be nice to see the Saturday Night Sing re-runs...LOL! My aunt has a video of a couple episodes she recorded way back when. I used to have the episode with the Argo Singers, when they did "What Did He Say," but I accidently recorded over it...talk about upset...LOL!

[jankins24]

I had some episodes on video (Clark Sister, New Jerusalem, Janet Harris & True Holiness). Well, my baby brother got to it one day, and the video tape was destroyed! Think I should be mad at him now... 18 years later? LOL

[drericj]

OH YEA!!!! I been waiting on this one!! I used to have this album till a friend borrowed it and i never got it back. This was the jam back in the day! lol...
