Sadly I'm just now finding out about this great woman after watching Say Amen Somebody but better late than never! I wish these songs and gospel singers of old ablums was still available to purchase but they are so hard to find. So thank you for posting it for the world to see
I enjoy watching and listening to the late "Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith." As, I listen to the song she sang, it reminds me of the movie Passion of Christ. It's amazing how memories/vision can be bought back to you. YouTube, I a thank you for sharing these clippings.
Did you realize that even Jesus' prayers were not answered? He prayed that the cup of crucifixion would pass from him, that God's will would be done on earth, that God's kingdom would come, and that his followers would be "one" even as he and his father were one. But he was crucified, Satan is still the god of this world, and his followers have split into nearly 40,000 (forty thousand!) official denominations, each of which thinks it has the truth and that all others are in error. Wow.
Hey Man, Thanks for sharing this video....These are the types of gospels that were song when I was a kid. I get emotional when listening to this song because it reminds me of my grandmother who song it during the 60,s. I still remember how she would knell while on the mother's pew and praying. Wow if only I could see her now..but I will meet her again one day...Thanks again
I have loved good gospel all my life and would pick it up in record shops along the way. Thank you so much for your comments and for listening to these songs.
Yeah I really loved those. Mahalia was a funny lady... And Mother Ford Smith who we are hearing here was a friend and reportedly the woman who inspired Mahalia to make gospel singing a lifetime career...
That is true!!! How about me? If Jesus hat to pray! May God give us the opportunity to have time with him in the gardem! Have you had time for Him?
Jesus bless us all.
Tremendous song!
