  • Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful songs from the Gaither Vocal Band. I'm a big fan of the GVB and David Phelps...and of course...the US of A!!! God Bless America...now and forever more!!

  • Phelps is awsome

  • Omg!!!! I cry and get the chills everytime I hear this song and the ranges they all hit. Praise God!!!!!

  • I love the gather vocal band but david can take any song to the next level

  • I think some of these comments that are so focused on the notes and whether it's falsetto or not are missing the message. Who cares what the notes are? Listen to the message!

  • 10 people don't appreciate their freedom

  • Beautiful Job Well done.

  • No man in the world will understand the grace of God, only the ones that accept Jesus christ in their heart as a personal savior.

  • Thank you for posting.

  • Their Best Performance !

  • Anthony was awesome! Mo one can play the piano like he can =) David, Guy,Russ and bill I think they did a great job their voices are so rich it's unreal lol

  • this is amazing, Let Freedom Ring by Satellite is also very amazing, search it up

  • David Phelps xD! Um Branco fazendo isso é de se aplaudir!!!! Gostaria de ter visto ele cantar quando veio no Brasil, não pude.! :(

  • Never get tired of hearing this song. (as many times as I have listened to this)

  • There's only one other guy in the room that could sing that last note and he was standing right behind David at the end. LOL

  • i can not believe there could be an atheist when they look at the Holy Bible

  • David Phelps what an awesome singer always give me chills hearing him sing

  • @DeathMagusScythe i completely agree with you couldn't have said it better myself

  • Simply awesome. Thank you for posting all of these. I listen to them everyday - just love this group.

  • wowwwwwwwwww DAVID PHELPS

    

  • We are still America, and this can be a new anthem, despite our current situation.

  • If you can´t see a black person in the croud or in the band, thumbs up!

  • David Phelps can FLAT OUT SING!!!

  • This is beautiful music and words, but consider the Patriot Act and all the freedoms that are being taken away without you even knowing it. Or watch Jesse Ventura on Conspiracy Theory and be blown away. Thanks to Geo. W. Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld

  • I needed to hear this tonight! Praise God for our Freedom!

  • Waiit... Isn't this the tune to "God Save The King/Queen"?

  • hoover4000 I have to say thanks for your diligence in posting all these vids! They have brought me enjoyment beyond any earthly form there is.

  • breath taking music!

  • Great music and men of heavenly voices.

  • ithe gaither band has only got more famous through hoover4000......... thank you so much ........you rock!!!!!

  • find some of the early stuff, i'm curious as to the first group gaither gang with

  • this is truly the greatest country on earth. if u dont like u know where the door is. praise God for freedom and salvation. what a song sang by amazing heavenly voices

  • @aksteve84

    you should hear what he hits in "No more night"!

  • @calvarykidamen what he hits in no more night is a C#5 which is the same as a Db5 haha (:

  • @calvarykidamen It's the same note only he holds is longer in "No More Night."

  • They all sing so amazingly well but David Phelps is about the most amazing singer I have ever heard.

  • I CANT WATCH THESE GUYS WITHOUT GETTING CHILLS

  • I think he's hitting a Db5 in this song.

  • I cannot get through this song without crying my eyes out with joy...Wow.

  • Cold chills EVERYTIME I watch/listen to this! I love this group. God blessed us with human voices, but these guys are Superhuman! Absolutely incredible! God Bless you guys!

  • This is my favorite song ever and God has made us with all beautiful voices

  • Hoover4000, thank you so much for these amazing videos, I'm so touched by these songs and I love the Gaithers (esp. David Phelps!) :) Music brings me so close to God, thank you.

  • Not that I don't like Gloria's monologue, but since I listen to this song so often I thought it prudent to say the music starts at 0:58

  • i went to a boarding school where the dean made us watch this and other gaither stuff.......

  • Who could ever dislike this song, maybe bad guys

  • Those eight people must be terrorists

  • jus listened to them do this live about an hour ago and it's still as amazing as it was in this video

  • hoover you have done a fine job in recording these I Love the Gaithers and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for these. God Bless You

  • Wooohooooo! LET FREEDOM RING IN OUR AMERICA FOREVER!

  • That's what our New Yorkers needed was David Phelps to send chills through their bodies getting that message across "Let Freedom Ring" with his awesome voice. You keep going Gaither Vocal Band, you inspire us all. God Bless.

  • 6:05 ...

  • MS. GLORIA... I'M LIKE J. D. SUMNER... I JUST LOVE YOU AND YOUR MINISTRY IN VERSE... ALONG WITH BILL AND ALL THE GANG... THIS VIDEO PRETTY WELL MADE MY SKIN CRAWL OFF MY SPINE... PRAISE THE LORD!

  • HIS CROSS STAMPED PARDON ON MY VERY SOUL!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you hoover400 for putting this song on here, it truly touches my heart everytime I hear it. I love the Gaithers, I have been to 2 of their concerts and have never heard anything more beautiful. God surely gave them amazing talents.

  • Man David this is probably one of my most favorite songs he does, when I'm a singer someday I want to have a great degree of talent, but even more so the anointing of God and the inspiration to give...

  • geez, I was hardly watching it and I got goosebumps!

  • can you please tell me which gaither video this is on...really love to have this....david phelps is absolutely unreal!!!!

  • Best version of this song hands down....I want to see GVB too!!!! They are so awesomely blessed, and I agree David Phelps is the best!!!!!

  • I sincerely hope that David Phelps reads these comments!! His voice is an absolute blessing to hear and I give thanks to God for having an ear to hear every time he sings. The fact that he uses his talents to glorify God is magnificent!! Thank you David for sharing your gift.

  • So true.... All the bad news I'm reading about today is overshadowed by the promise our Lord Jesus made when He said He'd return for us "That where I am, therre ye may be also." The book of Revelation is being played out right before our eyes. "Even so, Come quickly Lord Jesus"!!!!

  • I know King David of the Bible was know for his musical ability...playing for King Saul... but some day in heaven, I'd love to hear King David and David Phelps do a duet :))) AWSOME....can't wait!!!

  • I think this group is the BEST GVB EVER! Phelps, Penrod AND Taff!! There's not been a better combination before or after!

  • I want this song played at my funeral. Awesome expression of what Jesus did for us at Calvary. Thanks hoover4000 for this and all the wonderful videos you upload!

  • In my eyes, David Phelps is he greatest male singer of all time, and among the female singers my favorit is Lara Fabian. Eve theire way of singin is what I would call very polised, - they still manage to put their heart and soul into it.

    :)

  • i love this song omg

  • guy has a strong second tenor which i cant help but admire and david.... woooow... i just love it when they sing together =)

  • This is the best version of this song it moves me so much, everytime I think of what those people did to us it makes me mad.

  • i love this song.. the harmony... the messege.. the singers.. and of course davids talented voice =)

  • thank you for this post. God bless you .:)

  • Ooh Get it Russ Taff!!!! GO David too!!!!!! Go GVB

  • David i a awesome singer

  • Awesome, I love the Gaithers, David Phelps, and Lynda Randall. Praise GOD for the talent.

  • POWERFUL!

  • this is amazing!!!

  • I've told David his throat was kissed by God Himself!

  • I get chills when I hear David hit his high notes.

  • hehe... i see another " wow " reaction from David's voice. At 608 when he hits that high note. look at the person behind him to his right.

  • God bless America & all that love, serve & defend her with truth & honor!

    FREEDOM ISN'T FREE --- All gave some & some gave all!

    We shall never forget!

  • Amazing!!! Thank you God for your wonderful gift of freedom. This song is a gift. We offer it to you and ask you to forgive our ungratefulness and our pride. I pray this: "If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land." 2 Chr. 7:14

  • wow...how awesome was this?!?! :)

  • impresionante

  • How can you not get goosebumps every time you hear this song!

  • Thank God for our FREEDOM!

  • My what strength and beauty in David Phelps voice....Mixed in with the others and we have one of the best groups you will ever hear. Thank you for sharing this with us.

  • wow.... Guy is truly awesome but David just takes my breath away ~ Thank You Jesus \0/

  • @athlorien Amen to that! :) I sooo wanna see GVB live, and David Phelp, well, in my eyes and ears he i th best vocalist in the universe! :)

    God bless!

  • David. Phelps. Is. The. Man

  • Every time I watch this vid I am utterly transfixed by the young firefighter at 5:10. I can't help but wonder what horror's those eyes had seen just weeks before this was taped. I mean no disrespect at all, but I can't help but wonder.

  • @enm97 I agree, it almost looks like he has tears in his eyes hearing those words. I cant even fathom the fear in their hearts that day.

  • best version that of this song by this group or any group!! Let Freedom Ring and Praise be to God!!

  • PRAISE THE LORD !!!

  • David Phelps is defintielly the best tenor I've heard. If you watch the Gaither Band Reunion footage there is a song that three tenors are used, including David. You can see in a performace when the Spirit takes over and it is God singing through David. He is truly blessed and talented and we are lucky to have him, and all the members of the Gaither Vocal Family. Praise God!

  • Sknsnation that dude with the curls is David Phelps. Check out the rest of his videos.

  • If this is any hint of the voices of the angels that await us in heaven, I might be crying every day with joy when they are singing. Not just David but also Guy.

  • If this is only a sample of the voices that await us in heaven, I might be crying from joy every day

  • If this is only a sample of the voices that await us in heaven, I might be crying from joy every day!!

  • I've heard several professional tenors in my day and I've never heard a C#5 as good as the one David sings at 6:05. It's unreal.

  • As an American I guess you never really appreciate these freedoms, until they start going away. Though a lot of freedoms are now trying to be taken away, the Government, Obama, no one can take away the Freedom that Jesus Christ gives when you have Him in your heart.

    But the only way freedom in the USA can stand is if God's people get on there knees and cry out to heal our land, and give that land back to God who our fore fathers dedicated it to over 200 years ago.

  • best version!!!!! perfect high C#5 from David!!!!

  • That was absolutely amazing. That almost made me cry. Thank you so much for uploading!

  • Awsome song by Awsome people

  • I agree with thegraceofmusic....i went to the gaither homecoming in december 09 in Nashville and hearing David Phelps sing "Oh Holy Night" was worht the price of the ticket alone.....then i got to meet him and take some pictures

  • These are great singers....David has been blessed with such a great voice....I love this song and would like to dedicate this song to all my soldiers fighting for our freedom....keep the faith....you're always in our prayers....great song....Gaither Band and Vocal....keep up the good work...everytime i hear a song sung by these men....i always feel the presence of the Lord within my heart....i find myself at peace with everyone and with the Lord...

  • David Phelps .....arguably the best tenor of this time!!! GVB truly the anointing is upon you all!!! I praise God for you!

  • David Phelps has a voice that seldom comes along. I had the blessing of hearing him in concert in Alabama in December, '09. Astounding, annointed voice!

  • PERFECTION!!!

  • Love the part at 4:38 where you hear the echo revurbarate around the auditorium.

  • i cannot stop watching this video. i love david's part. he puts much emotion when he is singing.

    Lyros a nivel mundial..

  • GREAT SONG!

  • David Phelps' voice is so awesome ^_^ I love The Gaither Vocal Band

  • they need to come and sing these patriotic songs at one of the tea party gatherings this year. It would ignite that freedom fire that burns in all Americans hearts and souls.

  • the ultimate freedom is knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, amen

  • We all can be free from sin! Acts 2;38!

  • How appropriate is the name David for a man that possesses such a voice, and only uses his magnificent gift to Glorify the God of all creation. He sings to God with every fiber of his being. He is becoming the standard by which all other gospen tenors will be measured for a long time.

  • Death magus, I pray God will touch your heart that you would know you NEED Him, for now and eternity!!

  • Let us remember the sacrifice of those who died for freedom.

    Ronald Reagan said, -Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

  • The best version of this song. David's C# is flawless.

  • AMAZING! AND THAT IS FOR GOD'S GLORY.

    DESIRE POWER ONE DAY TO PRAISE GOD WITH VOCAL QUALITY WITH WHAT YOU DO. I admire you GUY

  • This is the first time I have heard this song. Amazing is all I can say. Took my breath away and I replay it over and over again now and just sit here in awe. Fantastic work Hoover.......keep up the good work!!!!

  • this is the best version of this song..4 perfect C#5 good times for david's voice..

  • I'm an atheist, and I love this song!

    Music is truly the lifeblood of all humans, no matter how different.

  • @DeathMagusScythe

    As a Christian, I don't understand atheism. When I listen to these words....when I see the God given talent of these men....when I look around me and see God's infinite beauty, but more importantly his grace which I don't deserve, but is freely given to me...I know there is a God who loves ALL of us and wants only for us to become one of his children.

  • @xraywizard524

    We see the same things, but reach different conclusions. Thankfully, we all have the freedom to pursue the truth as we see it, and to follow our convictions.

  • @xraywizard524

    Amen. The proof of the Creator is all around us. The Bible is nothing but the truth. After being saved, I know that God is there (I did before but I know even greater now).

  • @xraywizard524 Preach it brother......all we can do is pray for em and love em, as much as they hate what we stand for.....

  • @xraywizard524 The human condition is the anomaly the the atheist cannot explain. They can explain it but not logically.

  • Never tire of hearing this song, David & Guy are AWESOME!!!!! Will keep on coming back to this over and over again. Thanks for a great posting.

  • Praise The Lord!!!

  • May we remember those who were killed at Fort Hood, Texas this week.

  • wow. hearing the vocal band sing this sure would make the most hardhearted patriotic. beautiful song awesome singing. david, once again shines with his renedition of this fabulous song and his fabulous voice.

  • maybe i am not suppose to comment on each video i watch and i apologize for doing so. thank you for all these.videos you have taken the time to arrange and i will continue to appreciate them. again i am sorry. i am new at this so didn't know.

  • LA voz de David phelps no deja sentado a nadie es un regalo de Dios la mejor voz de nuestra epoca!!!

  • Where David hits the C#5 and then sings two more words in that note, is that what tessitura means?

  • David Phelps is the man!

  • Comment removed

  • Small note: its a C# but you made your point :P

  • is there a spanish version of this song?

  • David Phelps is so awsome on this song.!

  • Mark is better suited for this song than Russ.

  • I also love this song. It gives me chills when I listen to it which is about every day. I thank you Hoover for posting it. I Gaithers are so wonderful and May God bless them.

  • When was this originally recorded to one of the Gaither videos? I know that is was before this one because it had Mark Lowry on baritone.. ..Anthony Burger on piano too.. I know in the original video, the stage and backdrop were black but I cant remember the name of it.

  • Mark lowry goes to hollywood maybe?

  • robin, i think your thinking of "mark lowry on broadway", not "mark lowry goes to hollywood"

  • @hoover4000 i remember watching that special, it was good. does anyone have any videos of that?

  • best----------------- versión

  • Hoover, have you ever considered posting lyrics for these songs. You are doing a wonderful ministry posting these awesome songs

  • God built freedom into every fiber of creation

    And He meant for us to all be free and whole

    When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption

    His cross stamped pardon on my very soul

  • I love this song thank you for posting it, does anyone have the video from NYC with a few good men and david phelps with love to see that one. keep this up you are awesome!!

  • PhenomFan13... this was from Carnegie Hall in NYC. The Gaithers did two homecoming performances there. This is but one, and it is titled "Let Freedom Ring, the other is "God Bless America". I got mine from the Gaither website, but I have seen them at some of the Christian bookstores. Blessings to you.

  • You can purchase it at the Gaither's website and most Christian Bookstores. I have both of the videos they recorded at Carnegie Hall. Well worth the money.

  • David has to be the best gospel tenor I've ever heard in my life. He is a miracle.

  • I was wondering what video this is off of. Can anyone tell me the title?

  • "Let Freedom Ring" a Bill Gaither Homecoming video. released 2001

  • I got this off of the let freedom ring from 9/11 David phelps can really sing this and many other songs he is the best....hoover God Bless You for posting these.....The gaither's are coming to youngstown area and I am saving up for it...this has always been my dream to see them....

  • I don't fully understand why, but at 62, songs like this take me back to the way I was raised; to appreciate with all my heart that all that I have is because of what someone did for me.

    And it causes me to remember afresh those I love and have loved who have been taken from me. It's been almost 17 years since I lost my Dad, and I miss him more now than the day he died. It's been 12 years since I lost my son, and I don't want to live another day without him. The grief is unbearable.
