  • i love this song singing to it in talent show at skool awsome

  • big tune x

  • My sister Sylvia Green(RIP), loved this song. it was originally from the movie, Boys In The Hood. I like how they turned it into a gospel song. It always was an encouragin song of better times to come. That is my prayer for 2012. We must find joy & happiness in all we do so when bad, sad & dark days occur, we'll be able to look at thte good times and get through together.

  • love this one.... someday yes it's gonna get easier! THANK YOU LORD!

  • My funeral song AND my get-me-through song!

  • I love this song...It's getting me through a TOUGH time.

  • I love this song...It's getting me through a TOUGH time.

  • I've always loved the original ('70s) version, but this version is also beautiful! And I think it's so cute how Kirk tells Donnie "It's your nephew!....Uncle Donnie, sing!!"

  • nice song could have been recorded in a less affluent part of town without fancy cars kind of rubbing it in

  • @mjarvis0904 I dont understand why u have a problem with it being filmed in a nice part of town. Do you think Christians should show poverty and down drodden lifestyle all the time? We are children of the King!!! The Most High God. Remember he is Jehovah Jireh ,our provider. God bless.

  • This song manages to uplift me even when I'm not going thru, and the combo of singers is just fab.

  • This e-mail was sent to me from a special person from Ireland. Ironiclly, she sent me a post last year because of a kind thought i sent her. Now, that i accepted Christ, she reached out to me, & she's my baby sister.

    I as well as other suffered here in NC, because of Hurricane Irene. If i was in her presence i would hug her & tell her how sweet she is too me! My post were on Donnie's Geat is your Mercy post. Thank all of you for your scriptures & kindeness. Good to be Saved, Bless you & Wini.

  • E-a-x-c-t-l-y right this song rendition is so popular even now by Kirk Franklin. It is a [lace for uplifting gospel spiritual music. We'd nominate again!

  • OMG IM LOVING THIS COLLABORATION....TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

  • @me2juicee Amen to GOD be the glory

  • OMG IM LOVING THIS COLLABORATION....TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

  • The constant smiles of Donnie and Kirk lighten the music video even more. This video gives me a really good mood. :)

  • @allen14n You are absolutely right! I love the video...

  • @LaughterN I would still prefer the original version by the Five Stairsteps, but I still appreciate Donnie and Kirk for giving a fresh, new rendition of the song.

  • @allen14n Don't know the original version, so I won't comment on it. I'll look up the original one though.

  • @LaughterN I'm surprised you haven't heard the original version because it's been fairly popular since it came out in 1970. Anyway, I just love the hope and vibe the song gives me.

  • @allen14n I listened to the original version and I love it... Thanks for opening my eyes, LOL! Seriously, thank you.

  • @LaughterN I heard the song while eating at Burger King and fell in love with it right there. Fortunately, I was able to remember some of the lyrics, so I searched for it on the Internet. I found out its title, and I'm happy I did. This song is in the movie Boyz N the Hood. I started to watch that movie on YouTube, but one of the parts is removed due to copyright infringement.

  • Every Since Our Sonq Ive Been In Love With This Sonq !!! <3

  • Original version is much better

  • i love this song

    every time something bad happens in my life it just so happens that this song is playing on the radio

    i rember when the side of my house caught on fire i was siting in the car wachin the firemen put the fire out and this song came on

    then i was listening to this song one day and 2 minitus later my dad called me into his room and told me that my mother died all i could hear is my mother singing this song

  • I love thus song. It is very very pretty. Donnie and Kirk sounds really great together. Keep up with the great work. May God Bless you.

  • This song took me through one of the worst periods of my life--brighter seem impossible but thanks to God's divine grace & mercy he pulled me through.

  • I love this version and 2pac's version called keep your head up

  • Isn't "Ooh Child" about sun worship?

  • A wondrful song of hope I just love it !!

  • Love this song it encourages me to move on and press on

  • This song was on the CD I purchased after Hurricane 'Katrina' destroyed my home in New Orleans East. I am so glad God used Donnie and his music to touch me during this time of hurt in my life. Without God in my life is not even an option. Don't want to go there. With GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. AMEN.

  • i like this song

  • Five stairs was great, but this dude's voice and the rap make this version the best of the new

  • dont get me wrong, this is a great tune

    but the original, 'The Five Stairsteps' is the best version :)

  • in February i had lost my grandfather last year nd it realy helpz thank you jesus for all tha thingz you have done for me

  • i love this song.

  • I've never heard this song before...... What a shame of me -___- but I did now, and I love it!!

  • this song i love this song the most

  • i cant speak for everyone else but i must aggre with those who you who says this song is helping people b/c it is giving me a word of hope when my life seems hopeless. This is truly a word for somebody.

  • i do not like this.

  • Great remake, but the whole "tired of people fightin" part is too cheesy for me sometimes.

  • Iloveeeeeeeee this song so much!!!!!

    

  • things are gunna get easier :)

    jesus loves

  • @spdyellowKAYE...

    Negative on sin? Absolutely!!! Love what is good and hate what is evil!! Seperation of the holy and the profane. When Jesus said the whole law rests on these two (1) love God with all thy heart,mind, body, soul (2) love they neighbor as thy self, He is describing how to understand the Ten Commandments. The first four commandments is how you love God, the last 6 commandments are how you love thy neighbor as theyself!!

  • OOOOHHHH CHILD!!!

  • Whats wrong with people?!! Enjoy the song...!

    Btw when he says 'when the world is much brighter' he's talking about the recreation of the world.

    But thats besides the point..this song is helping people get through the mess there in!

    and i love it! x

  • bellissimo....

    

  • This is a good remake,GOD BLESS

  • I love this song.. and to have Donnie and Kirk together on this song makes it an even more beautiful song... <3

  • to 1mistresskajun...who do you have faith in? If you do not believe the Bible for what it says, and you do not believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will return on high from the clouds to judge the DARK, SINFUL WORLD, than you have faith in Anti-Christ or Satan who possesses the individual who becomes Anti-Christ.

    at july1656...you are delving into numerology, a mystic belief in numbers having supernatural powers. This is demonology. You need to do some research and STUDY YOUR BIBLE!!!

  • You feeling down? This song should help =)

  • The world will NOT, I repeat, NOT get brighter and brighter. The world will GET DARKER AND DARKER, until it's stench is SO foul under Anti-Christ's reign that the Lord Jesus Christ comes back on high from the clouds and all see him as he pours out judgement and wrath on the wicked nations just as IS described in Revelation.

    God will destroy this WHOLE EARTH and EVEN HEAVEN, and create a NEW EARTH and a NEW HEAVEN!!!

  • @SuperDude2569 Maybe YOUR WORLD- But not ours...We HAVE FAITH!

  • @SuperDude2569 LET US STOP AND PONDER THE BEAUTY OF LIFE DESPITE THE TRAGEDIES, SADNESS, SORROW AND MAN'S DESCENT INTO DARKNESS! FOR IT IS MAN THAT HAS CHOSEN (IN MANY INSTANCES) THE ROAD TO PERDITION! WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO LAY BLAME ON OTHERS FOR OUR CHOICES! THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR MERCIFUL KINDNESS, REDEMPTION, FORGIVENESS AND LOVE! THINK ABOUT THIS, 33 MINERS WERE BROUGHT UP FROM THE BOWELS OF THE EARTH THIS WEEK. THE NUMBER 33 IS THE AGE OF OUR LORD JESUS WHEN HE DIED FOR OUR SINS!july1656

  • @SuperDude2569 wow... you're a negative one aren't you?

  • This version is better then the original.

  • words of encouragement for you

  • I hate how religious dogma followers hi-jack good songs and put their ancient lies on it. . . there is NO god! Prove it or STFU!! The onus of proof lies with those that are making the claim. . . lying isn't right , hypocrites!

  • @ewildy Whether God exists or not, what harm is there in these "ancient lies"? Show me what's wrong with having a belief in a life after this one. While you're at it, why not tell me how terrible it is to do something wrong and feel remorse for it? Prove that faith is a bad thing, or STFU. God doesn't have to exist to good in this world.

  • @AlyKat74 i totally agree with you. what my sunday school teacher tells us is even if the bible and god is all a hoax at least you can say you lived an honest and positive life. bottom line is that the morals taken from the bible never did any harm

  • @ewildy Have You Ever Wondered Who Allows You To Wake Up Every Morning, Or Allows You To See, To Walk To Talk, Or Wondered Who's There For You When No One Else Is, Who Helps You With Whatever Problems You Have, Who Keeps You Safee! Im Sure Its Not You Who Do All Those Thingss! Its The Simple Things In Life That Help Us To Believe That There Is A God! && If You Still Need More Convincing There's Something That He Created Called The BIBLE! Hope You Change Your Mindsett! Be Blessedd!

  • @ewildy if you live like there is no god you better be right every knee shall bow and tongue shall confess that jesus is lord...good luck with that

  • I do believe the world will get better and brighter...I just love this song!!!! :)

  • i alwaiis loved thiis song..even the old version..

  • dis song is bueatiful i love dis song

  • I see gay men when i look at both of them. Not that theres anything wrong with this. But these two seem to think so!

  • @odessyrcr589 If that's what you see then you need to get your eyes checked. You are projecting, dear! The bible says sometimes it's better to shut up because you tell more than you need to and out of your heart you will speak. You told a lot about yourself no one would have know until you opened your mouth. Y must people like you always homofy everything. U see it because that's what you want to see but it's not what's there.

  • i love this song

  • Is that Edie Ellis waving over the fence? ;)
