Listening to this album back when it came out back in 1993 prompted me to give my life to Christ and be baptized when I was 11 years old. The gospel made perfect sense to me listening to this album.

Mississippi Mass Choir, you are and have been one of the Best in the World. I have been listening and enjoying you all from the beginning . You are one of my first love. R.I.P. Mr. Frank Williams.

[@deborahdozier7890]

We still sing the praises of God and we still lift up the name of Jesus Christ, but there's something about the mass choirs that brought a special energy to our praise!!! Yes, MMC and their musicians were a powerhouse in gospel music. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We also thank the youtube and other digital services that preserve this music.

[@aprilleolove2078]

It wasn't the nails that held him to the cross, He could have come down but my soul would still be lost. The ransom was so high that only he could pay the cost. It wasn't the nails that held him to the cross.

I was born in Mississippi Hollandale clinic n Jacksonville.My soul is still their because God put music in me.

[@keytone62]

What's amazing to me is, I've been watching a lot of these M.M.C. clips on KZbin back to back and in the comments, no one ever mentions these super gifted musicians that are making the singer sound as gifted as they are. Also from what I'm hearing, the singers are very good but without the musicians, they're like cornflake without the milk, they both compliment one another so, lets hear some names of these super bad musicians like for one, bassman Allen Golden. Who else is there? help me out!

[@alexthedrumdude]

There was also Jerry Smith at the piano, Keith Brown on the guitar, and Brian Williams (not to be confused with the TV personality) on the drums, just to name a few.

I first heard this song in 2020 it is very very inspirational and motivating . The passion with which it is sung genuinely epitomize the love Jesus has for us .It was displayed and spoken , even when He said " father forgive them for they know not what they do". In spite of his pains and suffering. Certainly a beautiful song ,sang with great excellence. Well done Choir.

[@perrycox4815]

It wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross, He could have come down, but the whole world would be lost. The ransom was so high, only He could pay the cost; it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross. Oh it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross, He could have come down, but the whole world would be lost. The ransom was so high, only He could pay the cost; it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, by His stripes we were healed, as He hung there at Calvary. He was lifted up from the earth, in order to draw all men; it was love that held Him there and that same love covers our sins. Oh it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross, He could have come down, but the whole world would be lost. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity, by His stripes we were healed, as He hung there at Calvary. Oh it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross, He could have come down, but the whole world would be lost. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, no greater love had been given to anyone. The Son gave His life for the taking by men; He had the power to lay it down, He had the power to take it up again. Oh it wasn't the nails that held Him to the cross, He could have come down, but the whole world would be lost. Power Power, power.

That lead singer in the robe reminds me so much of my late brother. He could hardly keep his feet on the floor when spreading the good news through song. His rhythm wasn't the best but he could make a believer of you. There is nothing like a powerful man of God willing to spread the good news. How I miss the Hawkins brothers.
