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!

[@gerrittblewett181]

Just the other day Jesus came my way He told me that He loved me Now I'm so glad I can say Even when you feel a little lonely You can't see your way He cares, I know He cares And He'll be right there Chorus I tried Him and I know Him Found Him to be a friend I know too much about Him On Him I can depend (repeat) Bridge Saved my soul Made me whole There's none like Him

[@ruthsanders7]

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.

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]

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.

[@michaeljohnson1972]

This is a classic song and it never gets old

[@francois8470]

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

[@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. ⛪✝️👑😊

[@kellihdavis1]

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

[@typrsn1]

This is real gospel.

[@genniracarr5102]

charnae harris what a message my testimony what a friend

[@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!!!!

[@typrsn1]

Yes, this is one of the all time greats.

[@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 🤗

[@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

[@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.

[@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!"

[@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!

[@haroldtaul7292]

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

[@Slaychelle]

4:20 Yes Twinkie ❤️😍

[@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]

I Thank God I was raised in COGIC. Nothing like it!!! These songs resonate in my spirit.

[@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.

[@adellharrod9574]

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

[@jacinta6421]

This is real church music.!!!!!

[@waynechanner4339]

[@phillipsmith8813]

real gospel music

[@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.

[@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. 🕊

[@analikab5631]

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

[@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")

[@gloriaburnette7632]

[@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

My LAWD THIS IS IT

[@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.

[@camillebanks7917]

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

[@smithdoesmortgages]

This is the real gospel music and legends that left a spiritual awakening for this day and time...

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.

Listening to this in 2020...Gospel has lost this wondrous sound and Spirit. Let's get it back.

[@drexalexander]

Thank You, I've been looking for the whole version for years.

[@carolyneredic2149]

Thank you Jesus I tried and know Him! What a blessing

[@magnormaxi]

[@craigjackson5784]

Twink did that real real good sangin’ on this one here.

[@typrsn1]

@drexalexander I'm glad that I was able to post it for you.

[@hubec7]

Ha!!!! I Know too much about Him. Yes Suh!!!!!!

[@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.

[@loveme-rv6mm]

Lawd this song still my fav although I wasn't even born but my fam has their albums

[@shoeladyt]

+love me When you are singing, talking, or speaking about the love of Christ it is TIMELESS, therefore 100 years from now this song will be a hit. You just happen to have tuned into the message. One of my favorites also, found HIM to be a friend that's why.

[@melesai]

one of my favorites.............Glory!!!!!
