[@eugenesummers8419]

I am home sick for a time when my race were united and a Christian race. I am a baby boomer I was influenced by people of the 19th and early 20th century. They were not tainted by technologies that distract people of today, nor the lust for the world. Their love, faith and trust in God was real and from the heart and soul. Many in our race gained the world and lost their soul. Oh Jesus please come back.

[@eugenesummers8419]

This version is better because of mavis, the choir in the back ground, the song and of course that lovely church.

[@softspokenstamps9197]

This is the first song that I listened to every morning to acknowledge God's Holiness, Grace and Mercy and to be grateful for His patience towards human kind. To God Be The Glory for Ms. Mavis rendition of this song, it shows God's authority, that He is still on The Throne and is in Full Control.

[@lakeerie70]

This song has alot of meaning today. We do need strength and power from the Holy Ghost to bring about peace in an evil world. But we must believe in one another to accomplish the things God wants us too. We must conquer hate.

[@marquesiaking3767]

This song was written my Marvin Gaye, al Cleveland, and Renaldo Benson. It tears at my spirit so. Wow...

[@TortoiseJames]

Written by Mr. Marvin Gaye! This song is called "Wholly Holy" (two different words...typical Marvin Gaye wordsmithing in action). Both he and Aretha Franklin also have moving renditions of this great composition! I wish Mavis Staples had recorded this too but this performance remains unforgettable. I remember watching this in real time and realizing as a kid that Mavis Staples could SING!!!

[@2buscuits]

This one right here??? I mean this one right here? Lord Jesus.

[@benvasilinda9729]

When u think u have nothing left to give to the Lord, Mavis makes u reach down even deeper and pull out the rest. Holy Holy indeed.

[@debbieeubanks4584]

The Staples Singers was a powerhouse. Especially Mavel. She is anointed and you can feel it when she sang Wholly Holy. Pop Staples did a fine job raising his girls.

[@mr.godsproperty7213]

Just watched this episode & it took me to the feet of Jesus. I sit here as a 48 yr old man and cried, I truly felt the Lord's presence. I didn't know that was Mrs. Staples.

I love Mavis' singing and have loved her since I was a young lady. The words to Holy, Holy are so indicated of the world that we are living in today . My husband, Sonny Mitchell, played bass for the Chicago Soul Stirrers and wrote a song, World Peace, which the group recorded. It really describes what we are experiencing in this world today. I personally wrote a song, There's A Man. I would love for Mavis' to record both songs, if possible. Mavis', contact me. I am on Facebook.. I have loved you forever. What is Purvis doing? I was sorry to hear about the passing of your other family members.

I knew who Mavis Staples was, thanks to my G-ma, and I remember thinking how in the world are they (Bill and the cast) still sitting down during this performance? My family didn't go to church, but I remember feeling like I was about to burst, trying to hide the tears in my eyes.

Beautiful memory I remember loving this song And being EXCITED when I caught this episode 😭😭😭 I also remember being VERY confused as a child because I knew mavis sang in the 70’s And I always thought she was elderly in the 70’s because of her voice So seein her in the 90’s seemingly middle aged I couldn’t make heads or tails of it Like weren’t u 65 in the 70’s? How u look 51 in 1991? Yeeeears later I found out her voice was just mature as a young lady and she always sounded raspy and older

[@hercpayne7714]

If you really understand the bible you would realize that Jesus is the one who is using Satan to do the killing. Because we refuse to obey his laws. Commandments. And statues. Read Deuteronomy 28. He explains the blessings and the curses and what he would do to those who disobey him.
