  • Okay, I have a question gospel music listeners. Can somebody (ANYBODY) help me out? There was a song out in the 1990s by some male gospel group (can't remember the title OR the group's name), but it was about "radio angels". The lyrics of the chorus was "thank God for the radio angels...they play gospel music all over the world.....thank God for the radio angels, they bring joy to so many men..women..boys..and girls". I THINK those were the lyrics. Any help is appreciated!

  • Kirk crossed over to where? He is still doing gospel music he just decided to do a gospel music that would reach out more to young people it had nothing to do with money, stop slandering the children of God.

  • i briviiiiiidi ç_ç

  • SIMPLY GREAT!!!

  • I don't know but I wish he would go back to old school gospel!!!

  • Been looking for this!!!

  • I miss this Kirk Franklin!! He is too hip hop now.

  • yea u right. idk whats up with that

  • yall know wat happened, Kirk saw all those dollar signs and decided to cross over. But i think he forgot that praise isnt about wordly gratification praise is about God.

  • I totally agree. I wish someone could talk to him to let him know that.

  • and your religious, i bet if you were in his shoes you would be laughing to the bank.

    god bless

  • when you say and your religious.. wat exactly do you mean? Its not about religion its about give God the glory, its about prasing him. And you have to take time to think would God want to listen to someone rapping to him? And i honetly dont care about the money he's making, Because you cant take money to heaven..

    But either way i pray that God continues to bless you

  • there was a time when someone would say "do think God would want to listen to someone singing gospel to him?" Back then the organ and bass were considered tools of the devil. Hymns were the musical preference. Only God knows the workings of the soul. We can't even see past today. You shouldn't judge.

  • well hes trying to reach the young people!!

  • very much agreed

  • i heard this song for the first time in a looooong time the otehr day, adn i never realized how great it was until now. its one of my favorites.

  • beautiful song! this is passion. Amen

  • Tohle je opravdu nádherný, kam se hrabou ty popové vykopávky..

  • This is my alltime song by a gospel choir ! ! !

  • wow takes me back to another time

  • i love this song!

  • My mistake, I mean KATIE SANKEY!!

  • If you have Dorothy Sankey's CD with 'I Don't Know Why I Have To Cry Sometimes', please, please upload it. Thanks.

  • Do you have Holy City by the Mississippi Mass Choir?

  • Ms. Dorothy used to go to church with me and I loved when she sang this song. I just never knew it was Kirk Franklin with her.

  • This song has really been a great inspiration to me when I was going through many years ago and I did not know who sanged this version. But 7-8 years later I still praise God through everything and my heart is over joyed to hear this song. My four year old daughter don't know why mommie is singign and singing praises unto the Father but one day she will!

  • Great version but the best is the one with Georgia Mass Choir and Whitney Houston!!! So good!!!

  • I'll be praying for you and your choir megaboy81. I believe you all will sing it as if JESUS himself was in the audience. JOY!

  • JOy..we're practicing a few songs, including this one. I'm part of the Laser Outreach Choir of Laser Ministries in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. It's a seventh day adventist church. Pls pray 4 us that we might succeed as a choir and that we'll b able to touch ppl and bring them to Jesus.

    God bless all of you..and remember. Joy, cuz Jesus will be coming soon ;-)

  • Yes i will keep your choir in prayer in Jesus Name!

  • Each time I hear this it blows me out my seat and can't help but to pace the floor and give GOD praise! A LILY IN THE VALLEY JOY!!!!!

  • This is the good stuff. Can you put up "Jesus is a Rock" but where you can see the choir? My youth choir director in Athens Ga. was Lonnie Johnson the original lead for that song. The whole choir would go over to his place and watch the Bobby Jones performance that he taped over and over, we loved it. I would love to see it again. No other youth choir could touch us. :0)
