"He Decided to Die" Abyssinian Baptist Church

A Seasoned Refined Mother Squalling!

[@cedricdean6761]

She sounds like she's in her twenties. What an amazing voice, such a smooth soprano

[@gospmusluver]

Baptist singing at its best!! That pianist is just superb

[@phinehasmosley6845]

Nothing like a good Baptist Church

[@mrjp144]

Mother knows the man she's singing about!!! "....That I may know him in the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his suffering"

[@cedricdean6761]

Good to hear the piano and organ with such good directing, excellent blending of voices.

[@clwxrf6007]

The singers voice did not age. She is/ was a vocal monster. This song endures to all generations.

[@dorothymoore9445]

I am so glad that Jesus decided to die for me, Hallelujah.

[@dr.courtneywoodfaulk7852]

This is one of the best arrangements I’ve had the pleasure of listening to, excellent choir

[@02WIFE]

I am a minister of music and we will be singing this song sunday!

[@cecilialittmon722]

HE would. NOT come down from the cross to SAVE HIMSELF. HE decided to DIE just to SAVE a little old wretched soul like mine and yours! Thank you Jesus!!!!!

[@lonidevaughn2788]

It is 2022 and I Am Still Listening and Loving This Song And Her Voice!!!!!!! I pray she is still strong!

[@howigotover798]

[@kimbarnes2681]

Mother was fabulous, the pianist was excellent and the choir did a fabulous job as well. Absolutely loved this rendition...felt like I was right up in there with them. We need more songs and services like this - old school, not entertainment.

[@britishlad5648]

Fabulous Musicians, Soloist, and Choir!!!

THE MUSIC MINISTRY AT THE ABYSSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH HAS INSPIRED ME SINCE I JOINED THE CONGREGATION IN 1950. WHAT A BLESSING...............

[@koreygarcia4591]

I loved the way Mother adlibed. That seasoned churchy squall took the song to another level. This is one of the best versions outside the original.

[@tonievans2808]

What was the original version cause it don't get any better than this😋😋

[@marcwilson6716]

[@josephbowers8793]

Nothing like a Good Baptist choir

[@gospelgriot8464]

In Sister Shirley's context, it is called "ministering to the congregation". Crows, infants & winter storms "squall". Praising Yah for the fiery faith of our sanctified elders!

[@timothyford992]

This is what I call good sanging!!!! Excellent Director!!!!

[@TransformedSoul466]

I've heard Ms. Shirley for myself and she is angelic. That voice can raise the dead.

[@sueb5071]

Wow, what can I say. I may be the only white person here commenting but wow I had to say thank you for sharing this. There are tears rolling down my face listening to this. Thank you

[@TransformedSoul466]

Sue B There is no color to your soul, Sue B. Let our souls weep together sister.

[@chrisbeatty9280]

We are all sisters, and brothers in Christ. No matter the skin color!

[@Uncilro]

Even though there is no color in Christ, I am still glad you shared your comment to remind us that this ain't a black or white thing. Even as type this while listening to this and thinking about your comment, I'm feeling the Spirit move in my living room. God Bless you sister and all the others up in here.
