Inspirations When I Wake Up To Sleep No More

[@cvhinson1]

I remember as a child, listening to the gospel singing jubilee on the TV while getting ready for church!!! and the Lewis family, the florida boys, the happy goodmans and so many more; my memory fails me to remember the rest, but they, no less, were stellar!!!

[@DavidBlackstock-n2z]

I watched the same program every Sunday morning. Especially the Florida Boys and I can't remember tge exact name, something Indian family. Great memories.

[@KennethDawson-zv8rn]

What a very important day it will be! Praise the eternal ancient of days! Jesus Christ! Praise the eternal ancient of days+ amen! Are we clear!

[@MarkMcLellan-x5h]

I have the wonderful privilege of being friends with one of the last surviving member of the Florida Boys from that era. Tommy Atwood, he’s still living and praising God every day. Known the family for over 35 years and love each and every one of them. Love to sit and talk with him about those days when gospel music could be heard everywhere. I was raised on the jubilee every Sunday morning and still cherish those memories

[@Bkg581]

I can remember back years ago when our town had what was then Dale Shelnut day. Always followed by a singing that night on the football field. I can remember very well listening to The Inspirations, the Florida boys and the Dixie Echoes. Some of the best gospel singing there ever was ! I sure miss those days, and going to the singing with my mom, who we lost back in 98. Love listening to these older groups.

[@viniciuslima518]

What a glad thought, some wonderful morning Just to hear Gabriel's trumpet sound When I wake up (when I wake up) To sleep no more Rising to meet our blessed Redeemer With a glad shout, I'll leave the ground When I wake up (when I wake up) To sleep no more When I wake up (on some glad morning) To sleep no more (jewels adorning) Happy I'll be (over in glory) On Heaven's bright shore (telling the story) With the redeemed of all the ages Praising the One whom I adore When I wake up (when I wake up) To sleep no more Glory to God, I'll have a new body Changed in the twinkling of an eye When I wake up (when I wake up) To sleep no more Leaving behind all trouble and sorrow Bound for that city up on high When I wake up (when I wake up) To sleep no more When I wake up (on some glad morning) To sleep no more (jewels adorning) Happy I'll be (over in glory) On Heaven's bright shore (telling the story) With the redeemed of all the ages Praising the One whom I adore When I wake up (when I wake up) To sleep no more When I wake up (on some glad morning) To sleep no more (jewels adorning) Happy I'll be (over in glory) On Heaven's bright shore (telling the story) With the redeemed of all the ages Praising the One whom I adore When I wake up (when I wake up) To sleep no more (to sleep no more)

I know that God wants us to get exited when we praise and worship him but these are the guys that help get met in the mood to praise and worship. This is me imitating David coming into Jerusalem dancing and singing before the Lord our God. The young folks have their music and we have ours none of us are wrong we're just different. We are all God's people when we praise him.

May God bless you... with internal/external motivations to think about good things.

I love hearing the Inspirations sing. I have been listening to them since I was about 12 years old. They use to come to the Valdosta City Auditorium every year in Valdosta, GA and we would go listen to them and would not want them to stop singing. They are a great bunch of guy's that love singing for the Lord.

[@charleskinghorn3205]

Good Evening, Enjoyed reading your comment/review. My family came from Adel, GA, but we were there with you many of the years; I was probably about 10-12 years old. I've had more than seven cases of a coma, coming out of it with amnesia. After listening to this great stuff for hours, it has brought back so many memories of it... By the way, thanks for helping me to get a sense of location. I wasn't sure if it was Tifton, or... I was just beginning to think of it as them coming to Cook County ',-)>

[@lindaferrer4598]

Oh my did me and my mom love seeing these guys- somewhere around June of 86 we went to Valdosta & saw them. The Inspirations of today will be coming to Fitzgerald, GA at the Grand Theatre the end of February. I hope you can attend.

[@GOSPELQUARTETFAN1121]

I would say it is 1974 or after because that is when Troy started singing lead with them, I believe. It is definitely after 1972 because that is when Mike Holcomb started singing bass with them.

[@singingcowboy674]

He's like my 3rd or 4th cousin Mike is. I remember as a kid seeing them and he was young then but not THAT young. Mike is a really deep singer. In fact I think he was deemed the lowest bass in the world once or if not lowest 2nd or 3rd lowest. Don't have my story straight.

[@jeffreyscottharris]

singingcowboy674 Uh, 2nd or 3rd lowest in the world? I don't think so - not even close. He barely growled out the low C in this song.

[@singingcowboy674]

Not much on the "he was not a REAL Bass" kind of talk for anybody. They were all in sincere operation for Christ our Lord and while it's fun to point out our favorite and why, when you start taking "tone" like that you completely lose the Spirit in which every one of these bass singers sang.

if memory serves me right,and someone can correct me if im wrong,he joined the Inspirations when he was 17 years old,spent 43 years with the group.

[@timhockett7605]

Good song

[@tabbyg8862]

May I share this with you, if you don't mind? The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. I hope you already know God for yourself, but if you don't know Him you can know Him today. Jesus suffered, bled and died to pay for your sins and mine, out of love for us! Salvation is in faith, but one must first realize that they are a lost sinner and will die and burn in hell for all eternity without Christ. Once we see ourselves, all one needs to do is repent of their sins, and put their faith in God: believe with all their heart that He will forgive every sin. And ask Him to save their soul from hell with all faith and all sincerity! Believe in God and He will save you today. If you have never gone to God and repented of your sins and put your faith in Him, now is the time my friend.
