  • I CANNOT BELIEVE 11 PEOPLE SAID THAT THEY DISLIKE THIS.....HELLO IT IS PRAISE TO GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS EVEN IF IT WAS HORRIBLE ITS A PRAISE SMH

  • when you say, 'DISLIKE,' are you referring to the VIDEO? i don't normally debate on one's taste, KNOWING that everything i LOVE is not appreciated by all. but IF your DISLIKE refers to this SONG, i have to question your MUSICAL SANITY.

  • i love this song it makes you think about god and how he has been a miracle worker in your life

  • I went to church London Wathamstowe on Sunday with a friend I met in Atlanta Ga, I so wanted to hear this song as it,s one of my favourites, unfortunately the choir did not sing it. I was not aware of the title, or the writers name, as I was about to leave her car it came on her IPod. Wow, World Changers choir normally tear it up, this choir has'nt done a bad job either

  • the pics on the video are SOOO misleading

  • 2:25 da beast part !!!!!

  • Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Oslo and the nation of Norway. May The Lord Bless and keep all who were affected by this tragedy.

  • Wonderful!!!!!!!!

  • His live performance was better,

  • this is a great song to perform for a gospel concert

  • Nicely performed!

  • Nice channel!!

  • they sang this at one of my cousins funeral and i cant help but cry when i hear this!

  • if you dont know this song , you don't go to church ! Everybody that knows Jesus knows this song .

  • @MrStupefiant93 ... you are an idiot. Not everyone goes to the same church(es) YOU do. Jesus really could care less if you know this song. I've never heard it before, but I guess according to you I don't know Jesus. lol

  • Total praise

  • Ive been a vocalist my whole life...if you can't appreciate the dynamics and beauty of this composition,  you'll have to close your eyes and listen with a more open mind. I'm agnostic and it still inspires me. I've been fortunate enough to perform it all over the world. Once you internalize the notion that the universe can align in your favor when you are on the right path, this song can change you. No matter what you believe, there is something or someone to have immense gratitude for in life.

  • "Knowing my help is coming from you..." mmmm my FAVORITE part!

  • I lift my hands in total praise to you Lord...Amen,Amen,and Amen again...

  • You ARE the source and strenght in my life !

    You give me your peace !

    AMEN ! AMEN !

  • I can't help it, I start playing this song just to listen to familiarise myself because my gospel choir is performing it tomorrow - and everytime I start singing!

  • THIS SONG GIVES ME THE STRENGTH TO GET TROUBLING TIME IN MY LIFE. IT REMINDS ME OF HOW MUCH GOD HAS DONE FOR ME. AND HOW MUCH HE HAS BLESSED ME IN MY LIFE. HE IS AN AWESOME GOD AND WITHOUT HIM NOTHING IS POSSIBLE. WITH HIM ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. WE SERVE AN AWESOME GOD. THANK-YOU FATHER.

  • Just started my winter term and this is the first song we're learning in Choir. :)

  • thx

  • Judah always do it big!

  • The first time I heard this song, my church's 8 AM choir consisting of 5 women sang it. I became so overwhelmed with everything the Lord had done for me because of His love, for the first time I began praising Him in the spirit.

  • 7 ppl are clearly deaf

  • @Kass620 I agree. I do not understand why ANYBODY on the planet would not love this song.

  • @Kass620 Make that 9.

  • @Hyphenated08 its 10

  • @Kass620 11 now... but hey 730 hear clearly ha! we praise you LORD

  • this song is my fav song eva!!!!!!!!!!! ive been through soooo much and this song helped me get through all of it praise god!!!!!!!

  • whenever i hear this song i can feel the awesome power of god and for some reason it just makes me want to hang out on a patch of sparkling white clouds with god just chilling , not talking but taking in his creation of the beautiful planets , milky way and just pointing out consolations

  • LINDOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! DEUS SEJA LOUVADO PARA SEMPRE.

  • A SONG THAT I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ON MY WAY TO SEE THE KING AND EACH TIME I HEAR IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE THE LORD IS COMING TO TAKE ME HOME I SEE THE TEARS ROLLING DOWN MY EYES AND HEAR JESUS SAYING JOB WELL DONE...I SWEAR THIS SONG IS JUST THAT POWERFUL IT MAKES ME THINK OF WE ARE ALL GOING TO MEET HIM ONE DAY THEN WHEN IT GETS TO 2:50 I THINK OF HOW JESUS INTRODUCES ME TO THE EVERLASTING FARTHER AND FROM THERE I CAN SEE ME STANDING WITH THE SON OF GOD AND THEN NONTHING ELSE BUT LIGHT

  • AMEN, I love you God and Jesus (:

    You truly are the source of my strength, I will be going back to church to praise you !!!!

  • THIS SONG SAYS IT ALL. TOTAL PRAISE, HE IS THE SOURCE OF ALL THAT WE DO GLORIFY GOD.

  • WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG I GET GOOSEBUMPS.IF YOU DON`T LIKE THIS YOU DON`T KNOW MUSIC!!!

  • This is a majestical, beautiful song. All thanks be to God for giving Richard Smallwood the words to enrich our lives. For the individual who is not saved/not a Christian (the commentor below), I invite you to know the Saviour Jesus Christ. God Bless You All. Remember to always lift your hands in "Total Praise". Amen, Amen.

  • Zephaniah 2 1 Gather together, gather together, O shameful nation, 2 before the appointed time arrives and that day sweeps on like chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD comes upon you, before the day of the LORD's wrath comes upon you. 3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD's anger.

  • This is dedicated to my MOM Aaron Myers II for your hard work, passion, and patience. You are just what the Master thank you ---LaJuana ( your Stong Alto)

  • Andrewcb34 - This is NOT a very old song. It was published in 1998 which is pretty young for a gospel classic. Incredibly moving song! And such a joy to sing it!

  • I just sit in silence and listen.

  • this is a classic

  • yes lord, yes lord thank you!

  • Glory be to God!!

  • When I hear this praise, I want to see Jesus face to face, hug him and say thanks for the death and resurrection to save me

  • @irvineyay92 Amen!!! im not religous by no stretch of the imagination but this tune makes me think twice

  • Comment removed

  • You all think this one is good. check out fantasia barrino version of Total Praise on The Bobby Jones Gospel Fest

  • i think this 1 is still way better but she does hav a gr8 voice

  • @irvineyay92

    You have a point there. But I like this version because it's so pure and the words are so meaningful. I like Fantasia's version because of her testimony and through all the trials and tribulations she has been through, i dont think there could be no other song for her than this one. To God Be The Glory AMEN.... MERRY CHRISTMAS>

  • oh thats very true i can imagine how she feels when she sings it.... GOD bless u and thank u =]]

  • Ur so welcome :-)

  • I agree with  irvinejay92!

  • SO POWERFUL!!!

  • Y r y'all even starting an argument over a picture. OMG YESTERDAY I SAW OBAMA MARY J BLIGE USHER SHGARLAND NEIL DIAMOND AND GORGE LOPEZ JUST TURN ON TNT AT 8 ON DECEMBER 20 TH 2009 WOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • Is there a reason, why people can't stop leaving unnecessary rude stupid comments?

    Listen to the song if you wanna listen and praise. It's really not that hard.

  • Ok, i can't help it. I LOVE this song. :D It's so powerful and amazing. I love this kind' of music. AMAZING! And I'm white and proud to admit it.

  • Hold up! If you 10 years old, You should NOT be talkin like that ESPECIALLY not on no gospel song.

  • Mane I Love Your Sonqq I lIFT mY hANDS iN tOTAL pRAISE tO ..

  • Maaan I love this song ever since i heard donnie mccurklin singing with the choir but I think this one might be a little better,just a little.

  • ok...im so in love with this song..... I love this song with a passion! Because this song is just may spiritual action towards God and Praise and Worship...i could careless who sings the song..black/white/purple...it shouldn't even matter...!

  • i am lookin for this song but the one i remember is more up beat.....i like this but it sound sad to me...does any one know what i am talkin bout or know how to help me find a faster paced version of this song????

  • Lol.

    I don't know how folk expect to praise together in heaven when they can't even get past the black and white on earth.

    What, do you think there's going to be a black choir and a white choir in heaven?

    There will be no segregated praise sections there.

    Why does it matter now?

    lol.

    :-/

  • good. Now lets stop talking about it and enjoy the song. Go buyit off of itunes or something and be quiet about it.

  • The comments are so shameful!!

  • Can we all JUST GET ALONG.....

  • I thought this was about praising the lord, not being selfish.

  • Get over it! God also says that thou shalt not steal. And over the years white people have stold music from black women and claimed it for themselves.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • why does eveything have to be about color?

    GROW UP

    Just so you know I am black

  • LOL....They aren't stealing anything. If you saw the beginning of the video it says "RICHARD SMALLWOOD...TOTAL PRAISE"....The choir SINGING is not the choir in the PICTURE. The choir singing is mostly black (I can tell by listening to them...I have a music degree, and we learn how to discern various vocal textures and timbres)....CHILL!!!....LOL...­.They just found a random picture of a choir to put up...It's not that serious...LOL

  • cegaspire,BTW the vocals are, "Smallwood Taught Singers",ALL, "Colored".

    Doesn' T take a Degree to know Facts.

  • I wasn't even talking to you. No need to come at me sideways. I was just telling ISayWhatIWant that the singers are mostly BLACK, while the picture is of MOSTLY WHITE people. ISayWhatIWant is misguided, and I was just pointing said person in the right direction. True, it doesn't take a degree to know facts, but I didn't have to KNOW any facts, I've been TRAINED to detect nuances in vocal performance. Your commentary is irrelevant.

  • Ok then. Stop talking about it. Let it go and enjoy the song.

  • ok but have u listened to christina aguleria she sound black but she most def white!!!! but idnt understand why u wud say tht like i kno thts wat u think but as u can c some ppl dnt tke tht lightly nd idnt think u wud like it either if someone said tht about u. watch wat u say gurl ppl can take it as an offense:)

  • christian is latino

  • Love, Love, Love!!!!!!!

    Thank you Lord for all of what you've done!

  • To You Lord God belongs all my praise!

    Thank you!

    LOVE

  • I lovee thiss songgg...Father God you are worthy too be praise!!!!

  • I heard this song for the first time in church recently. I am a fairly new believer. My husban and I love it ! Beautiful! Praise God!

    Psalms os ascension Psalms 120-129, I believe

    God bless you all!

  • the choir in which a friend of mine is singing has done this song too. i think it's better than this version O.o

  • my church choir sings this.. they are off the hook.. when Jamal Bryant came to our church they song this also... as my mom would say... they showed their behinds... lol...

  • I love this song!! & They did their thing! Great Job!

  • I grew up in Church on this song. It has and will always be one of my favorites.

  • Again, not a bit of Oslo Gospel.

    Fantastic, however!

  • this is on every playlist i have in my mp3. with everything ive been through..... it makes me know that im not alone .....

  • as old as this song is, it still causes me to humble myself and give "total" praise to HIM

  • Absolutely beautiful, and what a weightiness - God be praised!

  • this song gives me chills..its one of my favorites..

  • Yes! this song really lifted my spirit today

  • me too

  • This song is a great praise and worship song this really moves the spirit of the Lord to come into any place. Ericka /AL

  • We SING these song i My SChool CHoir.

  • Glory be to GOD ! Amen.

  • Sometimes during praise and worship when the praise team would sing this song it would have me in tears and flat on my face worshipping God. This song is truly anointed!!!

  • I went to church one weekend recently . I felt so bad almost like crap, pure crap & weakened . The Choir stood before us & sang this song . I don't know if I ever heard it but I sat in my seat & cried when I heard it . I left & was a new person, seriously .

  • That was the anointing you felt and the conviction power of the Holy Ghost my sister! May God Bless you and I pray that you will grow into the knowledge of God's grace, love, power!

  • I Love this song.............Its a amazing how a song can make you feel so alive...

  • Praise God! Me and my fellow choir mates are going to be prefomimg this song next week! I am sure the crowd is going to be shouting!

  • Praise You Father, in Jesus name this song makes me weep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love this song... i even cried its soo beautiful! i cant wait till my choir and i perform this song=]

  • I love you God, You keep me even when I fall and I will praise You till I leave this earth, and even then I will sing praises to You in heaven

  • Thank you Father for all the mercy and blessings you have shown my family and I. You never left me once. When I wandered away you came after me and brought me back. I LOVE YOU FATHER AMEN

  • I'm not a Christian and I totally love this song.

  • You don't have to be a christian to love gospel music... I think if gospel music were to be played on secular tv and radio shows, they'd probably cloud the top of the charts on a regular basis.

    Thank God for Youtube...

  • You don't need to be one of them "Christian". Just keep talking to the LORD... HE will talk to you. And HE will let you know HE is there. Because you are HIS beloved!

  • @BIGMUS70 so become a christian and you will like it more

  • Beautyful!!

  • I get Chills when I hear this songs..LUV IT.

  • ThIs Is THE BEST SONG EVER MADE

  • Richard smallwood has some amazing songs and singers. Heard many renditions of total praise and it is never like the original. I wish this were a live video too, but just the sound is good enough. I love how the sopranos hold the amen for eternity on the live one. You should have put a picture of the real singers on the video.

  • True that! This song has been remade quite a few times, and those remakes are very good, don't get me wrong. But, none sound as good as the original. This song is awesome! Just an amazing praise/worship song:)

  • That's it Lord Jesus, TOTAL Praise to YOU! This song always moves me to tears. Amen indeed! Thanks for the video.

  • outstanding songg!!!!!<3 my fav!

  • Next challenge for Hope Gospel Singers!

  • MAGIC !

    ... sends me to the Western Sky !

    ... brings me to tears !
