[@cgcade1]

Ole skool church still works!

[@typrsn1]

I don't know of any other kind that does, but that's just me.

[@cgcade1]

That's when I knew I was no longer youth or young adult. This is hard to find in church these days. Thanks for posting this. I can be working and take a praise session online.

[@typrsn1]

C Cade You're welcome.

[@deesaine9204]

Yes the songs ....

[@melanie_luv2_sew]

[@mreed3124]

This song has really helped me through this COVID 19. Being home everyday alone can get lonely. Thank God for helping me keep a sound mind.

[@charmariah4766]

I found this song on my feed. I have listened to one version or another during the pandemic almost every day. Also, several times a day.

[@talyciasmith7052]

I've tried and I know Him! Found Him to be a friend. I know too much about Him, on Him I can depend! Saved my soul, made me whole, there's none like Him!

[@chesterross]

One of the best songs ever written! It does something to my soul and it’s so heart felt!!!

[@colleenbrown1613]

AMEN !!!!!

[@colleenbrown1613]

Totally agree

[@jilliansharondapeck8960]

I so agree! Since I found this song it's been my fav morning song on my way to work!

[@kingkj9080]

Yes Lordy!!!

[@charmariah4766]

💯

[@hubec7]

Good God!!! We just dont get this sound anymore. My Choir members say Im stuck in a time loop. lol This is that sound that just leads you to the altar.

[@malcomgee2939]

This is what I think about when I think about gospel music. The new stuff just doesn't do it for me. This is church!!

[@cld1237]

Malcom Gee You right about that!!!! Smh

[@ramonamathew5686]

You've got that right. I'll just stay in the time loop then

[@ramonamathew5686]

Malcom Gee amen to that

[@gailsimpson9510]

Hubert Collins straight at his feet!!!!I totally agree..😆😆😆😆

[@geraldwhite1097]

When I listen to this song, it makes me miss Sister Clark, the '80s and all the saints who wee around then who have passed on. ⛪✝️👑😊

[@GericKenebrewTheVoiceofTriumph]

Whoever posted this version thank you!!!

[@typrsn1]

You're welcome.

[@tammytoon4344]

RIP TO THE LATE GREAT ANOINTED DR MATTIE MOSS CLARK!

[@Patricia-qy5kb]

All of this now new school beepedity bop gospel music doesn't even come anywhere close to this kinda gospel music. This kinda music gives you something to think about while you're at work and that spiteful boss is getting on your last nerve.

[@lizfreeman8802]

Maybe, that's what they'll be saying about music in thirty years.

[@wjgoffjr]

Boy c c you guys cry lviuuu video to v

[@kellihdavis1]

...found HIM to be MY friend...I know tooooooooooo much about HIM...on HIM I can depend! Yes LORD!

[@typrsn1]

[@genniracarr5102]

charnae harris what a message my testimony what a friend

[@autumnraindaniels4966]

Love this song forever. Praise King Jesus! Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord!

[@lindalyte7307]

I never get tired of listening to this song😪😥 Such a beautiful song and a true ....Testimony Thank you to the late Dr.Mattie Moss Clark...( May she R.I.P.) for ....the time and hard work that she instilled in her daughters and encouraged them to bring out the precious, abundant annoited gifts that Our Heavenly Father had .....bestowed upon....them, as well... as herself!!🙏🏿🙏🏿 😔😔

[@charmariah4766]

Linda Lyte Me too!

[@ellarichardson5030]

I miss this Real gospel music 2019, we got to get back to the real Scriptures and serve God in spirit & truth.

[@michaeljohnson1972]

This is a classic song and it never gets old

[@mrtheoneandonly83]

Sing Twinkie and Dr Mattie Moss-Clark

[@charlita25]

Wow I remember hearing this song in church at 9 years old ... that was a church ⛪️ service I will never forget.

[@francois8470]

This song reminds me of a midnight concert... even though you are exhausted, you just worship anyway because GOD is just soooo GOOD!

[@typrsn1]

Yes, this is one of the all time greats.

[@analikab5631]

Skill and Anointing! Worship not entertainment. Altar not a stage Amen

[@amberpaul78]

It’s crazy how each one of the Clark Sisters sounds like their amazing mother!! Each time Mama Clark sang I heard a different Clark sister! This is such an amazing family and their worship and praise STILL gives a new perspective of what it means to serve God!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@RobCamizzi]

Whew! This song stimulates the spirit! If I listen to it 1000 times, it never gets old.

[@charmariah4766]

Rob Camizzi Yes! Exactly. I love the different versions of it that I’ve heard.

[@RobCamizzi]

Char Mariah Same

[@yolandadarnell7411]

Yes this takes me back as a little girl hearing this song on the radio. Still my jam in 2020. My God...smh

[@kiyahb5106]

Takes me back to the adult choir singing this, I was in children's choir 🤗

[@pastorandre08]

The power of personal testimony resonates in this anointed song. Dr. Moss and Twinkie together is a matchless duo! I SO miss this kind of singing ministry in today’s church.

[@1drjcb]

“I tried him and I know him! Found him to be a friend. I know too much about him, on him I can depend!” Classic gospel music! God bless the memory of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. 🕊

[@roperryinspirationalvoices1421]

Every time I listen to this song, it gives me chills because I do know too much about him. I’m a living testimony of God’s grace! 💜💜💜💜💜

[@melanie_luv2_sew]

OhFather how I needed to hear THIS word NOW...😭😭😭😭

[@seekingserenity1209]

So many beautiful voices in this song! Those tenors came through and brought the best out of Twinkie and Dr. Mattie💛!

[@charmariah4766]

Good Mouth Yes!

[@pastortdward]

I thank God that I can always depend on Gospel Nostalgia to soothe that inner crave that I have for the amazing sounds of my era, "the 70's, 80's and the 90's! I lived inside those songs for hours and hours daily as a child and as a young saved man. Priceless!!!!

[@haroldtaul7292]

1:20AM, and this song is hitting the spot 👌🏾

[@MrPanorama92]

I need this on  music ASAP!

[@dr.davidjuliusfordjr.6697]

[@shelbycatlett5336]

My Lord. Yall just dont know what is happening to me right now. Im crying, i got chill bumps, i cant shake it this is my first time hearing this in my life and it was made YEARS ago but its touching me like nothing ever has! Lord have mercy Jesus. So many things running through my mind right now.

[@seekingserenity1209]

Diamondntharuff 30 To Think Twinkie wrote the lyrics and composed the 🎶 to this song. She is truly amazing! Playing that piano, singing with mom and leading the choir. My fingers would be sweating and hitting all kinds of keys😂

[@jontaybush8888]

You feel like that especially when you tried him and you really know him and when he saves you and make you hole I cried when I heard this

[@terristhomas299]

Nothing like Him 🙏🏾

[@jacinta6421]

This is real church music.!!!!!

[@ericaball]

I've NEVER heard this version! But after prayer today the LORD put this song in my spirit.... this is sho'nuff BLESSING ME!! We don't sing like this no more! LOVE THIS!! #THANKUJESUS4SAVINGME😁🙌🏾 #COGICALLMYLIFE 🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@mreed3124]

[@phillipsmith8813]

real gospel music

[@adellharrod9574]

My spirit needed this song today! Thank you for the uplifting words.

[@waynechanner4339]

FINALLY hearing the whole song.

[@jackiegaston7859]

Thank You for this recording! This song has ministered to me many times in my quiet times!!!

[@typrsn1]

You're welcome.

[@mreed3124]

Yes ma’am. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@billcraig5336]

Basic simple truths that are still ringing true today. My mother listened to gospel music from morning to evening and when I first heard this song it did something to me and it's still doing it all these years later.

[@GdChsrBar]

These songs brought tears to my eyes, my husband and I began to recall the days of rehearsals, setting up his musical equipment, Doris and Eddie Wilbourne, z oh my and so many many more...What an awesome experience. I thank God for the opportunity to have been among such great and anointed talent BE BLESSED

[@debragibson7850]

Bring back the Days of Yea and Nay....#MarvinLWinans The ANOINTING is still over this song and Many More Songs like this. Choir Directors and Musicians pull these Songs back out to share with these Young People that it's like Ragu Sauce (The Anointing - "IT'S IN THERE")

[@stee552]

Sister Twinkie's music and writing were bathed in prayer and fasting, from Evangelist Mattie Moss Clark's relentless example. Thank you Ladies, for not wasting all of your suffering; you poured it into your music. And this music is still convicting, blessing and delivering people.

[@adrianrice2030]

Now this is a classic!! Written by the Queen of the HammondB3!!!

[@rev.s.1954]

I can feel the anointing of the Lord. Good God, this raises my spirit to another level. It did then and does now. "On Him I can depend." Bless His holy name. This kept me in the church house. "There's none like Him!"

[@ty4life257]

My Lord, I tried Him and I know HIM!!!! What a powerful testimony!

[@IoneEvans]

I remember singing this song with the youth choir of my former church. I was 16 at the time and really didn't know like I know now what it means to "try Him and know Him to be a friend" Thanks for posting this.

[@Thejdreamerzful]

Still one of my all times favourite Gospel songs - I'm young from the U.K - yet it speaks to me so profoundly. Thank you for posting this!

[@Slaychelle]

4:20 Yes Twinkie ❤️😍

[@valenciawhitehead9589]

Choir standard and a true CLASSIC! "Saved my soul, made! me whole, there's none like Him." Umph!

[@camillebanks7917]

So many great memories listening to the song. COGIC Keystone Jurisdiction

[@jennrichardson9828]

Its even better in person! UNAC 1987 Detroit Michigan I remember scrambling to choir rehearsals (and don't you dare be late) for live recordings to take place in Convention. If you think this recording is powerful, you should have actually been there in person. When I tell you the anointing fell in practice and convention, trust it did. This song I will never forget practicing and singing in the International Mass Choir under the direction of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark and Twinkie Clarke. This year 2021 this song has been in my spirit since the wee hours of yesterday morning, bringing in this new year. I believe God is trying to tell me something.....listening Father....

[@s.h.a.nw.i.l.l2064]

That sounds amazing. I can only imagine what it was like hearing Twinkie sing in person!

[@jusprazem1]

I guess you could identify with the Clark sisters movie; especially the rehearsal scenes.

[@nottoomuch87]

Sang yall. ..ALL YALL!!! Lawd have mercy!!!!!!!

[@sconiersclan]
