[@shakiragilchrist1541]

Remember hearing this on the wooden radio on Sunday morning while Sunday dinner was being finished and getting ready for Sunday school. Those memories never fade.

[@timmoysinclair5172]

the soprano singer tho:) she's got a heavenly voice and an amazing range...

[@SoSassypeppers777]

I feel 9 years old again in a storefront church clapping my hands. God bless you for sharing this!!!!

[@kevinpowell9502]

Now THIS is truly annointed Gospel music ! Not this vulgar so called Gospel of today by Kirk Franklin and the like.

[@mylifetotaly]

RIP Verline Rogers, 8/27/2020, the high soprano voice

[@highbelter]

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was just watching this for the umpteenth time, and thinking how long ago this was. I keep coming back to this video: Verline's talent shines here. May she rest in peace.

[@jddrew1000]

Oh I didn't know Ms. Rodgers passed!! She was gorgeous and had an amazing voice

[@Onlyone-m6f]

Maaannn c'mon on through y'all. I miss that traditional sound of the piano. Nothing wrong with keyboards but I still like that good ole upright piano sound.

The Meditation Singers was the first recording of this song I ever heard as a kid in the’60s.

[@ReddzVoice]

[1] The Meditation Singers: [From Left to Right in the video]: (a) 1st lead singer ERNESTINE RUNDLESS [founder]; (b) 2nd lead singer with tambourine LAURA LEE RUNDLESS-NEWTON [Ernestine's daughter]; (c) soprano VERLENE ROGERS; (d) tenor DONNA HAMMONDS; and (e) alto MARIE WATER [people often think that Marie was Della Reese, but Marie Water was Della Reese's sister. Della Reese had already left the group by this point; and Ernestine added Laura Lee to the group in her place] Peace and love...

[@Onlyone-m6f]

Thank you for the history. I hope someone has some videos with Ms. Della in them.

[@sonny.9998]

Yes. Thank You for the break down. Wow i never thought that the Sista with the tambourine was the other leads daughter. Good look'n out.

It's so amazing! These wonderful women with these wonderful voices, resounding with glory to the Lord our God. The song is wonderful. Although I was not born when they sang this song, I feel no difference from those God loving people that were present there, listening to them. I wish I was there to clap! But I think I can still participate: ooo Jesus, be fence all around me... Thank God. I would like to know you guys in heaven.

[@delham7004]

Y’all better sang!!!🙌🏾😄

[@ishawoolery7570]

[@kristeandreatujague7016]

The movie Fences(based on the play by Wilson) brought me here. And I am grateful. 💕

[@sweetwaterfarmhouse1074]

I have to listen to this daily. They remind me of how my grandmothers and aunts looked back in the day. They sang beautifully and dressed like these ladies.

[@valeriegee6300]

Love this! Every song has a soul and this right here is burning within. These women are not only singing in the Spirit, they are beaming with the light of God, graciously dressed and ministering in song!!!!!

@Marcel West THANK YOU for sharing this magnificent clip. I just shared it with a lady I know who’s traveling hundreds of miles tomorrow (Election Day) in a car with a Biden-Harris sticker on it. After what happened in Texas the other day, she’s more than a little nervous.

[@paulasuniverse5029]

Now this is HARMONY and joyous singing. I agree with @TheHasanGreen, this is the best version, even though I love the version by Fred Hammond and Radical for Christ. Those high notes and inflections. If you don’t dig this version, check your pulse because you just might be dead. 🤣
