The 90s big churches big choirs big praise and big hair!! Lol Back then you sang til the Holy power came down song would change several times what happened ?? We are sorry Lord have mercy on Us!! Bless Thy Name!!!!

[@UncleDuTheWatchman]

Lord we have certainly felt the void with Draper gone...Hez and Ricky have held it down but Draper's absence in the Gospel arena put a huge damper on our Sunday Morning material.

[@tamikasinclair5478]

I remember this live recording in Chicago. It was originally supposed to be at the Arie crown theater. At the last minute, it was moved to the Congress Hotel.

[@sistacbell]

I love her leading this song. I wish she would have went in shouting. I know she can shout.

[@HammondB34Me]

I was today year's old (2024... Three days before my birthday) when I learned Hezi record this first... Learned it in an IG comment. 🤯

[@detroitmusicman]

That's actually incorrect. Him recording it was a tribute to Olanda after he passed. This is definitely a Draper original.

[@janbriggs3387]

Alleluia to Jesus !!!

[@sweetsweet81]

She's got that Paul Mitchell hairspray!!!!

[@sheliawilliams264]

[@lastar106]

It would be nice if I could play this on my mobile devices.

[@jeremiahmarchbanks5120]

Who wrote this song every time I type it in Hezekiah Walker pops up

[@detroitmusicman]

This song was originally recorded by Draper. Hez Walker recorded it years later as a tribute to him.

[@thatredheadguytv]

It was written by the late Olanda Draper, the one that directing in the video...

[@jo-joal3791]

@@thatredheadguytv Draper died in July 1998.

[@thatredheadguytv]

@@jo-joal3791 i know I have a few friends that are charter and alumni members of choir since the late 80s. I was always a fan of his ministry and have EVERY project he released and even the one with Shirley Ceasar in 1989 "I Remember Mama" . He wrote the first song on there, "I'll NEver Stop Praising The Lord" in which it became one of Pastor Ceasar hits transitioning into the 90s. As matter of fact one his closest best friend is on my forth coming project as a writer and lead vocalist.

[@Andy-zw5kx]

My mom was part of the big hair trend lol

[@Toomchrhytm]

Sorry to say but I like Hez's version 1000% better. Craig Wiggins took it to a whole new realm
