You know, there is nothing like singing your heart out in praise to God. I tell ya, every time I do I feel the presence of God fill my soul. That presence grows even stronger when I'm singing with a group of people who also pour out their love for God in their song.
the best job on this song was done by The Chuck Wagon Gang this is to rocky i think when you sing a song it should be done the right way DON'T ROCK IT
Here is the thing. If neither Kim nor David inspired you to at least think about our savior, then both would likely say they failed. Glory be to the most high!
@MrSmackdab since you know music i think can you please go look for get up get ready 2000 by the gold city and tell me the highest note that tenor hit there it was unreal
@only1McBoyd Thumbs up if you think that anyone whose standard of good singing is Tom Jones should keep their opinions to themselves when it comes to music.
@only1McBoyd The old adage, If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all" really seems to fit here. I love Tom Jones's voice, but to say that David Phelps isn't very good?...my, my :*))
Look beyond the voices ( that you don't think are very good) and enjoy the worship in their hearts and song.
@only1McBoyd You are perfectly retarded are you not? David Phelps has a voice that is pure and controlled. Tom Jones is not qualified to hold David Phelps's sheet music you idiot.
For anyone who desires a biblical understanding of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel.
There's a reason God didn't give me a voice like Kim Hopper. I'd be stopping people on the street saying, "Let me sing to ya"... I'd have an ego the size of Texas.
I agree with you gregrfy I come to youtube to listen to the music that I grew up singing in the church pews. The churches no longer sing these type songs anymore. The Hymnals are a thing of the past. I love this type of music.
@redneck452004 I must be blessed, my Church still sings southern gospel style with the old hymns. But there are not many left that do this, too many going to the "repeat a chorus 17 times and then it finally ends". They may only get 2 songs in at the most because of how they drag on singing the same chorus line over and over til it bores people to death. But I come to youtube, because it's hard to find any southern or bluegrass gospel on the Christian Music radio channels.
I purchased the CD that has this track on it this past weekend and put it on "repeat" for a 2 hour trip in the car. I attempted to his this note with David every time the part came up. I am going to see the ear, nose, and throat specialist in the morning....
I just love David Phelp's voice. He has definitely been blessed and it is great to see that he uses it in doing God's work. This is one of the best renditions of this song I've ever seen. That you so much for posting it!
During my dad's final days, one of my nieces put together a video of his life and included another version of this in the background music. We was able to watch the video with us just a couple of days before he died. After seeing it he said "I just saw my life flash before my eyes."
After not moving for two days he suddenly sat up and reached out with open hands to those awaiting him. As my sister said "fly away Daddy" he laid back and closed his eyes and did.
THIS whole Christian culture I never knew existed...INCREDIBLE singers.I just discovered David Phelps..IM in awe and shock..I ve never heard a voice like that..Its UNREAL..I just wish that..Oh nevermind....
@dadadadasad since you know music i think can you please go look for get up get ready 2000 by the gold city and tell me the highest note that tenor hit there it was unreal
My Mother flew away last week. This recording played over and over at the visitation.....as background music for a video my niece had put together. This song really helped turn a sad event into a joyous event. That great Phelps voice will stick in my mind for eternity.
I love the song. I'm thrilled at the performance. I have the greatest respect and admiration for the talent of the performers and unless god speaks for himself, it's all a fable as far as I'm concerned.
God has spoken for himself. What he has said is recorded in the Bible. At various times he has spoken directly to man, he has spoken through the prophets, and finally, by his own Son, Jesus Christ. Read Romans 1:19,20 BTW, what you or I believe does not change the truth. Guessing is not wise.
To add to your point, this song is also referring to the RAPTURE too...in 1st Thessalonians 4:16-18: "...the dead in Christ shall rise first.". The truth is what sets us free my friend. Knowledge is the beginning of the fear of the Lord. It is a good thing to put our trust in Jesus Christ our Lord only.
God has spoken. The invisible attributes are found everywhere. The complexity of life, the way that the solar system is in place, the miracles he has performed in my life and most of the lives of people I know. It gets to a point when there's no room for doubt, at least that has been my experience. If you want Him to speak to you, all you have to do is pray to him and ask him to show himself in a real way. It will take some diligence. The stakes are too high to count it as a fable,if it isn't.
well, that's probably because you're ignorant of God's word, airste172. All the prophecies that were supposed to happen did. Jesus fulfilled over 300 prophecies concerning the Messiah. Just from a statistical point of view, you can't refute it. Einstein said the universe couldn't be made in any other way; that it was made with such precision that just a slight variation would make it not work.
Thank God I truly believe it is just going to be only a few more weary days and we believers are about to "fly away". The old ship of Zion is about to sail....Praise GOD!!!
@BigNavy73 - I agree it's a classic, but "old" not so much. To my knowledge it was written by a blind black Chicago musician named Jim Bruer. I had the privilege of driving him home to the west side following his nightly performances in a far north side bar during a week in the early 80s. He was, I'm guessing inn his 70 at the time.
Okay, short and sweet: I thought, when I heard this, that the male singer was Matthew Ward. I now realize that it is David Phelps, and that I got to see and hear him live at a Billy Graham crusade a few years ago. He was singing with the Gaither Vocal Band, and at first I was disappointed that Mark Lowry was not singing with them. David's voice more than compensated for Lowry's absence. I grew up with the Gaithers, and love these videos. Praise God!
Ooooh, this one gives me goosebumps, thinking of that wonderful day. My brother and I used to sing this on the way home from church. He 'flew away' from us at age 9, and I can't wait til we are all united again, and there will be no more separation or death. Praise God!
OMG! Before I SAW Kim Hopper and I just heard her i was sure she was BLACK with a voice like that! Holy moly! And David Phelps? Don't even get me started! He sings my face off!! lol! Praise God for this! Hope u all had a VERY merry Christmas! XOXXO
This is great to listen to im not a christian some of these people look really happy do you know where concerts like this are held hoover 4000 more postings like this please
david phelps never ceases to blow me away with all the things he can do with his voice. Not many whities can riff like that. Kudos phelps that's truly a voice for the lord
David is a classically trained singer--he said in an interview that his teachers wanted him to go into opera, but he wanted to pursue contemporary Christian music. He rarely utilizes his operatic voice when singing now because of the style of his music he chooses to sing. A similar example is Mariah Carey. She is also trained in opera, but you don't hear her using when singing pop music. It has nothing to do with David not being able to sing as well now--it is a stylistic choice.
david phelps is the most powerfull tenor living on earth right as you can hear in this song between 1.53 1.54 minutes those are not human for a man what a vocal range man truly a blessed singer i'm a singer as well i'm a very high pitch tenor but what he does incredible i can reach those notes but what he does he does it easily i have to push veru hard too reach those notes man thank god ur still alive god bless you keep up the good work michael with blessing regards
This was my Grandpas favorite song i sure miss him he was a real man of virtue lived in Whitehorse, Yukon Canada, far from any town 80 miles away in a log cabin where i was born also, but He was a true man of God. Thank you for posting this memmory
he still does, but hes realized that he cant sing like this for much longer and still keep his voice. if he sung like this now, he would burn out his voice. he did it back then cuz his voice was still developing and VERY!!! flexible. now its settling into his more natural range, which is still huge
David hits an E flat in his chest voice and holds it for two measures. That is three halfsteps higher than pavarotti's infamous high C in "Pour Mon Ame" and four halfsteps higher than the high B in "Nessun Dorma". And he looks like he is having so much fun doing it. He is simply one of the best singers of all time.
High notes are hard to hit on any given day,but David makes it look effortless.I'd like to hear him or Larnelle Harris sing opera. I bet it'd be unreal. When God is singing through you,there's nothing you can't sing!
I am an opera singer and I would love to see david sing opera. He would have to make some style adjustments in his vocal approach but there is no doubt he would be great bel canto/ lyric tenor. He would make a great Arturo in Bellini's I Puritani
It's actually mixed he sings it in. But I know he can sing in Eb in chest. He sings a high E in "Everything Good" towards the end. I can't believe he has a 3 octave range in chest alone. I'm jealous.
My Granddad died listening to this exact song. God bless her Loud voice. Its triumphant and its lovely. He felt at peace with her song. Keep singing and god bless. My granddad, Robert Donald Brosius of Jefferson Maine is an idol to us all that wish to have the faith he had. Keep on the faith!!!
this is too to AustinD88 and SP567. if you choose to believe that way, why in the world did you click on the video? just to leave a nasty comment? i mean, come on. let the people who want to listen to the song listen to it without having to put up with your negative input.
Religion is man's futile attempt to explain who God is and the afterlife, Christianity is God coming down and telling people who he is while bringing the Kingdom of God with Him.
i miss this ,,churches of today are not the same.i miss the good old fashioned gospel.

The 5 tells you where it's at on the piano. C4 is middle C

the 5 means that, from the left of the piano, its the fifth Eb in order

The 5 tells us what octave the Eb is in.

David hits an E flat in his chest voice and holds it for two measures. That is three halfsteps higher than pavarotti's infamous high C in "Pour Mon Ame" and four halfsteps higher than the high B in "Nessun Dorma". And he looks like he is having so much fun doing it. He is simply one of the best singers of all time.

High notes are hard to hit on any given day,but David makes it look effortless.I'd like to hear him or Larnelle Harris sing opera. I bet it'd be unreal. When God is singing through you,there's nothing you can't sing!

I am an opera singer and I would love to see david sing opera. He would have to make some style adjustments in his vocal approach but there is no doubt he would be great bel canto/ lyric tenor. He would make a great Arturo in Bellini's I Puritani

I agree aspsingr...I would love to hear David take on I Puritani because David has that F(5) in him!!

It's actually mixed he sings it in. But I know he can sing in Eb in chest. He sings a high E in "Everything Good" towards the end. I can't believe he has a 3 octave range in chest alone. I'm jealous.

Their "religion" is Christian. Their "denomination" is probably Baptist. Thank you for uploading the video clip!

My Granddad died listening to this exact song. God bless her Loud voice. Its triumphant and its lovely. He felt at peace with her song. Keep singing and god bless. My granddad, Robert Donald Brosius of Jefferson Maine is an idol to us all that wish to have the faith he had. Keep on the faith!!!
Love his grandchildren

this is too to AustinD88 and SP567. if you choose to believe that way, why in the world did you click on the video? just to leave a nasty comment? i mean, come on. let the people who want to listen to the song listen to it without having to put up with your negative input.
anyways, thanks for the post, hoover.

He never said that Christianity was a religion. He said "religion is silly." That is all.

Religion is man's futile attempt to explain who God is and the afterlife, Christianity is God coming down and telling people who he is while bringing the Kingdom of God with Him.
