This song was given to me from God, it brings me to a special place before Christ in such a miraculous way, as if I have reached the throne of God , I have never had anything to inspire my spirit in such powerful way, praise God, I really want to be ready when He come. Thank you Jesus for your plan of salvation.

[bunbun93]

[StyleNMan]

Also I just posted Now and forever He's mine and Going to a place. Both on this same album

[StyleNMan]

Nice song. I have The LP & CD.

[kennyedwards69]

I first heard this song on my Sunday school teachers tape deck. The melody stayed with me all these years. I was fully surprised when I found it again. Thanks hearing it again reminds me when I was singing in the youth choir- and I still want to be ready Thanks Again

[DOUGHBOY3752]

LOVE THIS SONG.

[bigblockelectra]

i like that bass guitar tone

[JayEm86]

Glad you like it! That particular bass tone is a distinguishing characteristic in many of James Cleveland's recordings from the mid 70s through the mid 80s.

[bigblockelectra]

do you know what kind of bass guitar it was?

[JayEm86]

Nope, sorry!

[Trueword2]

The bass sound is a fender jazz with roundwound string you also can find the sound on the motif 6 or the new model called roundwound.

[baybay101000]

@bigblockelectra 5this is a very up lifting song may our lord until to watch over his sheeps and we all have hard times because jesus said ti but he will see through  much kove

[baybay101000]

[281que987en]

I really love all old gospel songs. All of them have strong meanings to them. They remind me of my mama's voice. I will always love you. I really miss you so much.

[father1981]

Daryl Coley is horrible...just a dried up prune, sick and gay.

[vynee88]

my favorite gospel song of all time

[madspenda]

bro i was juz stretchin my hands n wen the minister started sayin a lot of pple play church nowadays i froze.

[Memyai]

Rev. James Cleveland set the bar extremely high for many Gospel musicians...He wanted every aspect of every recording to be PERFECT! And he was very successful at it too! God Bless Him.

[cairronthe]

thank you. i thought it was darrly coley. but its wayne anthony roach. the brother can blow.

[cairronthe]

Who is the lead singer of this song. The brother can sing. It sounds like Wayne Anthony, but maybe it's Darrly Coley?

[nuttinbutchurch]

That's my favorite voice that I had the pleasure to play for Sunday after Sunday for two years. I love him to death! WAYNE ANTHONY ROACH!

[cairronthe]

one of the best songs ever written, just too powerful. all praise and honor to the most high GOD

[BIGMAK17]

I love Rev James Cleveland....he is still the best even in death

[smissmurray]

Absolutely wonderful song, Thank you Jesus!

[HierofGod]

Wayne Anthony,..Calvin Bernard Rhone,..Daryl Coley,...James Moore,...Bruce Parham some of GMWA best male lead vocalist: i love it when Rev.Cleveland would say ,..come on Wayne,.come on Bernard,..or whomever the lead was,..it was almost like a miniature introduction of the lead in the midst of the song,..Rev was so innovative with it!

May God rest his soul in eternal peace!

[jblacknhot]

[BIGMAK17]

[sabajuan]

Does anyone know the title of the song with the words - it's better to have and not need, than to need and not have'. I would be grateful if someone could let me know. Thank you. Bless

[vynee88]

[thohunt]

My Dad just passed away a few hours ago I came to hear a word becouse my heart is very heavy , I know that John 11 25-26 says he who believeth in me though he where dead yet shall he live. As the tears fall on my face I know this to be true rest in peace George Hunter JR My Dad.

[Ministerdlyne]

I pray for you in this tough time of the passing of your father. Be encouraged

[thohunt]

Thank you so very much, I hope that you have a very blessed year in the Lord.

[Ministerdlyne]

[JayEm86]

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. God said that He'll never leave you or forsake you. Through this trying time, He's still here for you. You have my condolences, and be blessed. I hope this song helps you a bit.

[yoganandarita]

[pimusique]

Oh, how I was Blessed from this selection.

[bigbee7763]

Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord! Give me the strength to make it, Lord! I want to be ready when you come! Thank you Lord for James Cleveland. What a beautiful song.

[albertbooker]

this is a song that i play so much that i would cry every Sunday after i saw my mother when she was sick. she passed away but thank God she took me to church and help me to see God and know him for myself.

[Sheall323]

I cannot get through even the first bar of this song without tears and just seeing your comment. Your mom and my father are in a safe place now. They won't hurt and they have no worry. They cannot come to us but we can and will go to join them one day. I'm definitely going to be ready cause I got to see my pop. I miss Reveend Cleveland so much it hurts. He will never know what an inspiration he has been in my life.

[coolrobertchapman]

think god for james cleveland

[Sheall323]

This is a repeat play record. I love it. Wayne Anthony is also an member of the famed Cleveland Singers who backed Reverend James Cleveland for years. He is on the video Gospel with Reverend Cleveland.

[PRAYZEHYMN]

Is this the one recorded with the Southern California Community Choir on the 1981 Where Is Your Faith album?

[JayEm86]

I believe this was recorded on the 1981 Savoy 2 LP release "I Want to Be Ready When You Come" with the GMWA mass choir. There is a version of this song on the "Where Is Your Faith" album, but I don't think that one was recorded live.

[PRAYZEHYMN]

wow that boy can sang! beautiful voice. and that is one beautiful selection also. very tranquil and relaxin. thanks for posting that one.

[Sheall323]

@mrvacolvin Wayne is now a minister of the gospel and he is at Philadelphia with Pastor Eugene Bryant, who pastors many of the members Reverend Cleveland had at Cornerstone. Eugene Bryant was also a Cleveland Singer.

[denoprofundo]

[aresmall]

Still in Los Angeles. Every now and then will see him at LA Chapter rehearsal.
