[FlyChoirBoi]

[msprttyldy35]

[1Seleeta]

Now this is what you call gospel!! Love it!!!

[shiversusmc]

Tears always flow when I hear this one. Touches the soul each and every time.

[TChezChannel]

PREACHERS COMMITTING ALL KIND OR SIN, YOU HAVE TAKEN HOLINESS OUT OF GODS CONTENT BUT YOU ALL WILL PAY AND GOING TO WISH YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE WORD PREACHER. OR BEING A CHURCH LEADER. PRACTICE WHAT YOU ALL PREACH. GOD IS REAL AND HE WILL BE BACK. THESE SONGS THEY MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT YOU LIFE, WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE OLD PATH, AND STAY THERE.

[ksuccessful1]

[Sangria3]

Sitting down listening to these old gospel classics bring back so many memories from my childhood when we went to church all day on Sundays. You'd go early in the morning, go home change clothes and come right back to night service!!! I thank GOD every day for blessing me with a grandmother and parents who taught me to anchor my soul in the LORD!!! Thank you for this postingg

[GospelRichard]

Hey I love this one too. Does anyone know of a song titled "A Long Tedious Journey?"

...Its been A long tedious journey, I made it somehow. Its been a long, long tedious journey, I made it somehow. I been going from day to day, asking God to make a way. Its been a long, tedious journey, but I made it somehow." Those are some of the lyrics to it. Its very old too and I don't know the artist's name.

[callmerecess]

talk about "the old rugged cross" kind of worship... chills my soul!!!  real praise

[MsChrisgal1]

[LiddoCupcake1]

[travler22]

In his R&B days, Otis Clay was called "The Master Blaster" .... easily, you can see why !!!!

[Brittneyb1221]

@travler22 Baby u know sumthin. U,sho rite. This talent is going down slow,as Howling Wolf said. But i tell u 1 thing it aint gone yet,cause i play it wit a feeln,i just want 2 say its" Precious Precious",u kno what im talkn bout. MaDAME bROWN GIRL d.j. down hurr n Texas.

[travler22]

@Brittneyb1221 If you up on that kind of stuff, I'd be proud ta call U MAH SISTAH !!!! What about "Tryin' To Live My Life Without You" ?? I think that was my fav because it seems women were always tellin' me they didn't want me ! Here in VA the Jackie Moore version of "Precious Precious" was played more on the radio ... but Clay was and is definately a baaaad man !!!!!!

[Brittneyb1221]

[Misssoft4]

[crzypocket1]

[bluethird]

Yes

[thebigcatt]

The gospel today is nothing like this true down home, by the baptism creek gospel.

[aoscruggs49]

This is one of my favorites. I'm singing it on Sunday.

[choirboy341]

hope u record it.

[ivycompton]

major brilliant artistry and soul at work here. otis!

[oneolsoul30]

This is the best!!

[TheTarsha]

I could listen to him sing that song all day long and it was my Mother's favorite. Everytime I hear it, I cry.

[IVORYS09]

this song was sung at my dads funeral no HOMEGOING 8 mths ago, an that lady did her thang... i love this song

[minjcj1961]

This song touches the SOUL!!

[kbkcogic]

He still sings the blues. Hopefully he will learn he cannot serve to masters and give his life to serve God only so the gates will swing open for him

[JBlackIV]

He without sin cast the first stone. And the stones dropped one by one.

[kbkcogic]

Ad then he told the woman to go and sin no more. We including myself must live a holy life. If we use the excuse about he that without sin cast the first stone, how would we be able to preach against sin which the writers that were inspired by God did in the Bible?

[JBlackIV]

If Jesus didn't want the women to sin anymore he should have taken her right then and there. We are human beings. No matter how holy we THINK we are living, sin is going to and will always be apart of our lives. Now, will I go out of my way to sin? Maybe on occasions. But I'm a work in progress. Otis Clay is a work in progress. You are a work in progress. The day we become perfect is the day we leave this earth.

When God gets through with me, I shall come forth like pure gold.

[apunjora]

the man who was killed the other day while attempting to perform armed robbery was perfectly dead.

[Instrument09]

Give your rquest to the Lord, release them from the judgement you've made and watch what God will do in your life.

[stonemanish]

praise god for this song back in the day we at the Antioch Baptist Church in Youngstown Ohio had the Late sis Wanda Jennings to sing this song and she really did a wonderful job with this song God rest her soul.

[AndrewOdom]

[IndyChic]

Pastor Curtis Vance of St. Luke Missionary Baptist in Indianapolis (I believe of relation to Otis Clay) sang this song during the repass at my Mother-In-Law's funeral.

I'm not a church-goer, but this song really makes me feel closer to God. It gets me every time. Such a wonderful, wonderful song.

[ministerzel]

Wow...excellent.  Great voice. In Atlanta, they play this song every, every Sunday on gospel radio. After all of these years, it is still one of the most requested songs.

[gottobereal03]

This is an old school, soul stirring song

that touches the heart, mind and spirit.

It provokes a praise. Thank God we can

look forward to the gates swinging open.

Jesus went away to prepare a place for

those who love him. That where he is we

may be also. This song food for the soul.

Thanks so much for sharing this song.

Video owner God Bless You and Take Care.
