[@ladennayoung2939]

Walter Hawkins sung this song initially. All his work have been full of the anointing, and it have been very beautiful to me. I praise God the music that he blessed us with. Nobody but God was in the midst of it.

AMEN x

[@loveblue2]

Absolutely stunning performances by the choir the ENTIRE service. What an annointing! That had to have been a challenging day for them on many levels. God bless them.

[@smshortcake99]

Well except when Fantasia got up to perform. I think they needed to vocal rest because they were flat and tired. I don't think it was the same crew up front on the mics.

[@michaelkeller6613]

OH. MY. GOD! I have 33 keyboard instruments in my home studio - 3 acoustic pianos, 2 vintage Rhodes electric pianos, 2 digital pianos, 2 Hammond organs, each with it's own Leslie speaker, etc, etc,. I have been playing for 44 years. This whole band was on FIRE! HOWEVER... you know I am partial to those keys! The gent that was workin' that Hammond organ made it absolutely gurgle - to whine, moan, and absolutely cry out loud! So rich, so righteous and so beautifully - and that choir was beautiful beyond belief! The "screamers" AKA "leads" were blessed with powers from on High, I tell ya! They were hitting those notes like it was completely effortless to them - yesterday's news! :D
