take 6 - If We Ever Needed the Lord Before (We Sure Do Need Him Now)

From The Album Take 6 no copyright infringement intended

[@drewmcgregor5585]

My Mother passed away in 1990 and my sister boyfriend told me to listen to this cause i was so down and as god is my witness i listen to this song all the way from Newyork to Atlanta and when I got there i felt like a load had been lifted i felt better thank you take 6 Iam sorry it took so long to respond but Iam listening to you again tonight because i just lost someone dear to my heart that passed away.

[@nicogreco6665]

Take 6, the lord and all of us with love in our hearts were always here waiting…..🙏💖 I’m soo sorry for your loss… I’ve lost too many friends growing up and this album always got me through the toughest times. I was lucky enough to be born into a musical family and heard this At around 7 or 8 yrs old. The fact that every single sound here comes from the human body ie: voices and finger snaps is something angelic in itself. The lords rays are shining on us, act in light..🙏

[@Everythingfreshandsassy]

When my son was a baby and was fussy, all we had to do was put this CASSETTE into the CASSETTE PLAYER and turn it on and he would go right to slee in just a few seconds! It worked EVERY time. I can’t tell you how many times we panicked because the CASSETTE ribbon got stuck in the player and I’m trying to wind it back in with a pencil or my pinky finger! 🤣. Those were the days! Life was trying but worth living with music like this

[@kylebourne6839]

This album got me through the passing of my dad...a man of great integrity who loved his family...a real man of Yah (God)...January 1992...I love you daddy and always will. May you rest in the arms of Yahshua until the resurrection.

Had the opportbity to hear the group live in concert here in Dallas once. It was not only an excellent concert, but I had the opportunity to meet the group after the concert (first in line!) and visit with them for a few minutes. They were all very kind and spent time visiting with each person who was in line. They are not only an exceptional group, but are truly ambassadors of the gospel.

Whatever they did on record, they replicated live and on the spot w/o any silly excuses. This song just uplifts my lil' spirit. Merv sounded superb. You just press play and let it do what it do. You never have to skip a song. I wish the industry would let at least one brotha sang like this again. Just one, dang.

[@iamleresa]

Thank you for posting this (8 years ago now), because I woke up this morning with this song in my heart and mind! It is not only during this Covid-19 Pandemic. It’s also right now in this Black Lives Matter unrest, due to the killing of George Lloyd! We REALLY DO NEED Jesus NOW! Help us Lord, come and take us home! 🙌🏾

I've heard this song in 1998. Of course, this song was already released in USA, 1988 when I was 1 year old. Their voices are so perfectly harmonious that I'd like to say 'extremely awesome.'

You won’t belive I found this album through a hip hop beat that sampled one of the harmonies in their song quiet place I enjoyed it so much that I decided to find where the sample came from and I’m glad I search led because take 6 is a breath of harmonious fresh good righteous vibes that sure doe uplift the spirt!!

[@waynewilson902]

Magnificent joyful arrangements...(I used to sing in a Boys Choir as a child) What Take 6 does can give you the shivers down your spine!!! Wanna hear some startling harmonies... "Spis Li, Milke Le" sung by le mystere des voix bulgares You may or may not like the music but the these performers and their techniques are a force to be reckoned with! Wanna hear more technically difficult (non accapella) harmonic material to sing that gets downright creepy: "du goldener gott" by A. Schoenberg...skip 1 minute into the excerpt to hear a mezzo soprano and alto get groovy...insanity! From an opera called Moses und Aron (good pair of headphones or full range loudspeakers are best)

Now is the time to seek Yah if you have placed him on the back burner or fallen away. It's time to humble ourselves before Him and turn from our wickedness. Not just use him like first aid for Corona Virus. Praise Yah!
