"I'LL Make It"Hezekiah Walker &The Love Fellowship Crusade

[@qualcozx]

This is real gospel. I am now 36 years old and find myself looking for the old gospel tunes I was raised on. Most of today's artists are lacking something. The songs don't move me. Hezzie and JPK and Melvin Dawson, Resurrection Mass, La Mass, Milton Brunson, and others still bring the blessing down.

[@fothgt]

I still have the cassette!!!

[@samjackson5653]

lol.. this use to be considered Contemporary gospel. The old saints didn’t like it. lol.. It all depends on when you were born. 🤷🏿❤️🙏🏿

[@jddrew1000]

He is 24 years old in this recording. The 80s and 90s were like the golden age of choirs/mass choirs

[@ashleytaylor5630]

I lost my job today, I needed this song! Yes I will make it!

[@gloriaraquel4731]

[@ashleytaylor5630]

I've had a job since August of last year, so I've been working for a full year now, The Lord is truly a provider! My husband has also gotten a job with a pay increase. We were staying with my parents during the time I lost my job but now my husband and I have our own place, God is faithful and he's still working on our behalf

Facts. I get mad when I look for this song and it’s some other version. This and “the lord will make a way somehow”

[@TheSanctifiedMusic]

Agreed! Can’t beat this version. I wish he had this and the Oh Lord We Praise You albums on Apple Music

[@VirtuousWoman1143]

I GOT MY DAUGHTER BACK IN CHURCH WITH THIS ALBUM !!! MAY SHE RIP !!!!😭💔😭💔

[@andregodfrey3022]

God rest her soul

[@professorlip]

I just found something quite interesting about this song. This is actually a remake of a 1975 song by D.J. Rogers by the same title. Just type "D.J. Rogers 'It's Allright Now" in the search field and it will come up. When I found that, I was shocked, because I remember when Hezekiah first dropped this song back in the day. I thought this was one of his originals. BTW...D.J. Rogers is actually singing at the end of "God Favored Me".

[@jerome.angelachandler6501]

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@laj4186]

Yes!! I LOVE his verse in He Favored Me

[@aliceharden7231]

I remember when I first heard this blessed song. I was going though my training in the U.S. Army. Just finished basic now it was time to be taught in my field of study. They had to teach us one year of teaching in eight months. Everything was rushed. There were times that all I could do was encourage myself in the Lord. This was my song. I began to let those words speak life to me...my situation. Even today...30 years later this song still ministers to me. I praise Jesus! For without Him I am nothing, but because of Him nothing is impossible. I thank God for using this man of God in the way HE did. Amen.

[@KellerColeman]

Still sounds good 30 years later.

[@mablefenner1859]

AMEN!!!🙌🙌🙌

[@loveb9592]

I will never forget the original 💜🥹 5:24

[@protectorofillinois3]

This is the best version EVER! I personally don't like the remake of it with John P. Kee at all.

[@sbcdiva1]

+protectorofillinois3 ABSOLUTELY!

[@Illustrated_Strength]

I'm so glad I never heard it! There is no LFCC without Kervy Brown, anyways. :-)

[@bishophartselcliftonshirle7859]

protectorofillinois3 I AGREE!!! This version he sings like he knew he needed Jesus. The newer one they are playing with it. It was annoying!!

[@Kevin112681]

You’re not the only one. I like this version better

[@carterboy66]

waaaaaaaaaaay better. That 2nd verse is everything

[@andregilbert8060]

The drummer on this song have insane talent. Love this song❤ All praises to God

[@beverlywilliams525]

Yes! That is when Gospel was Gospel. I moved from DC to NC and my album broke in the move. I was crushed!

[@jeanneegerald3060]

Beverly Evans hey Cousin!! You know I love this song.. Remind me of the time our choir use to go to New Your and Nelson would sing it.😃

[@dct124]

I have so many pleasant memories flood in when I hear this song

[@SoulnSensual]

I love this version!

[@JustinPinkney]

I still have this cassette lol. I miss these times, back when songs had multiple elements of a structure - verse, chorus, interludes, bridge, break downs, vamps, etc.

[@XavierLeeds]

This is the version I been looking for

[@amarvinwinansfan]

WOW! I had totally forgot about this version. I was 12 when this came out and at the time didn't know who Hezekiah Walker was at that time.

[@neetrab]

@@amarvinwinansfan lol how do you forget the original? I was like 8 when this first came out and it was all over the radio. No way you couldn't have known who Hezzy was. But I guess every body didn't know who he was.

[@rchestan]

Memories man… I remember our choir marched in to this song at a musical in 91' lol..

[@christophercrafter2609]

This is the "ONLY" version that's worth listening to. Periodtt.

[@mindon367]

This song right here, this version, nothing else to say! The radio station would play this seemingly every hour and it never got old!!!!

[@MrCJ_812]

This would make a stellar skating jam. Wish I knew how to skate...

[@Pgschool37]

LOL!

[@stacyandkweku]

I remember my mother playing this record when I was a young child. Thanks for the classic! :-)

[@joyiamoore7913]

This was the first song I learned how to play on the piano, I play by ear....self tought...I was about 12yrs old

[@kandrawright2795]

Thank God for my son. He's 13 and an aspiring musician who enjoys the gospel choirs and songs from the 80s and 90s. He got on youtube and found this version of the song. Love it! We can and will make it if we follow God's leading, pray, fast, and live saved for real. Stay full of the Holy Ghost!

Back in 2022 🌷💗🌷

[@neetrab]

Haha! I remember when this song was number one on the charts foreeeeeeevvveeeerr.. I remember going to the PAW convention in 88' (I think it was).. I was about 8 or 9(?) and they were in concert w/ Rev. Milton Brunson Singers... Mom and Dad went and my sister went. Me and my brother weren't allowed to go. I WAS SO MAD!! lol! Memories. I'll never forget that. The remake w/ Kim is nice, but nothing can beat the original. They played this on the radio ALL the time. Hez was new and had a fresh sound. Everybody wanted to see him and his choir in concert back then. And for those that are wondering, yes that's Kirvy (5:05-5:57) at the end of the song.

[@laj4186]

neetrab thank you so much his voice has me shouting over here. such an amazing spirited voice i grew up listening to this and my family sings gospel but never knew his name❤

I got to send this to my sister.
