i dont remember the bible saying the holy ghost is a keeper but people still say it.... nowhere in the bible does is it say exactly Hallelujah but people still say it (alleluia is though) nowhere does it say when the praises go up blessings come down but people still say it. when writing a song people have the right to add what they want without saying its in the bible. so by poetic license he meant you can put what you want its your song! and plus shes saying something bad about heaven,

Thank you so much for giving credit to the composer of this song. Dorothy Love Coates is a major figure in the spread of gospel and women group leaders and gospel composers. Thank you posting this. What year was this recorded?

Thank you Jesus for Dorothy Love Coates for such a blessing in my life . I remember here in Indpls she was her for Robert Turner anniverary and the spirit hit me when she was singing . I took off running and praising God . Good gospel music is not the same .

To God be the glory for loaning us Dorothy Love Coates for a season. We give honor to God first as the creator of the universe and to Dorothy Loves Coates for allowing the Creator to use her to create these beautiful songs. We give honor to whom honor is due. So many people took advantage of Ms. Love Coates. As she said, "What you don't know, people don't bother to tell you". But She had jesus and "That's Enough".

@herschelzboy I just wanted to say AMEN to giving credit to where credit is due. Anyone can see and hear that Sister Dorothy Love Coates worked hard for hers. This is true and I agree no one should try to steal that.

[MizLadyPreacher]

This is where it is 'cause this is where it's at. If she were here today, I would say sang sistah, sang. I do look forward to meeting JESUS and all of GOD's Children in that city Built Four Square.

@herschelzboy I have that set of cd's.  It's not on that collection. It was on here for a brief moment but I don't know who posted it. Thanks for your reply....

@TheMICHELL54 You are absolutely right, God IS the Author and He ultimately deserves all the praise.

[TheMICHELL54]

@herschelzboy I agree with you 'cause she really does but I never even thought about who wrote that song when I heard it sung by Mississippi Mass Choir. I just loved those lyrics and the spirit of the person who led the song. Every once in a while I'll say "Who wrote that song?!"

Mainly because I feel that I could've because of my personal experience. When it comes to Gospel I give God all the Glory and I hope Christians would acknowledge the original creator of these masterpieces. Be blessed.

[herschelzboy]

@TheMICHELL54 I agree to a certain extent. I have a group that I have been singing with for 33 years. All of our songs were done by other groups like The Soul Stirrers, Swan Silvertones, Dixie Hummingbirds, etc. Our mission is to keep these songs around and honor these groups who paved the way and not let their names be forgotten. It's one thing to sing their songs but I think it is wrong to take credit for a song that is not yours. All I say is Give credit where credit is due. Dot deserved it.

@gospellover2 Specialty Records has a cd with her recordings when she was on that label in the 50s. I believe the song you are looking for is on that cd.

@cutepreacher THATS RIGHT STOLEN.....

[DERLESIA1]

@cutepreacher FUSS MY BUT SHE WAS FILING A LAW SUIT.....

[TheMICHELL54]

Gospel songs tell about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Who sang or wrote it is of no importance to God. Is it bringing glory to His name? Is it a tool to save souls? What a joy when we all get to Heaven. CAN I GET AN AMEN?

[Joshua12254]

I Love Hearing That Soprano In The Back Ground. Thank You Jesus They All Have Beautiful Voices.

When listening to a song like this you realize how deep and real the singer is singing and feel that the worlds are comming from the bottom of the heart.
