I was today years old when I learned there's 2 leads on this song! 🤯 This brings back all the memories and the feels from childhood

[@Q-GleeFashions]

😮 I was today years old when I found out! And I sing lead on this song and have listened to this video plenty of times! Lol

[@pamelaarmstead4793]

😮I thought it was one soloist! All this time 😂

[@ramonacollins7174]

Me too! I thought it was one person until I watched this video.

[@lwills8609]

Me too...on 7.26.2024!!! I was wondering why two people were walking up.

[@MsKJohnson86]

He is KILLIN that tambourine! #playitsir

Pro tip : you can watch series at InstaFlixxer. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@sarahtabe-whitfield5800]

I seen this video and started crying, I was 17 yrs.old when we sung this song at my Church and I'm 51 today, I remember we had CHURCH back then.....😭😭🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃Thank you Jesus...

[@oh10brwngrl]

Yes! I started crying as well. Reminded me of our youth choir in church!!!

[@Theotate]

You and me both!! I miss those days

[@burdrchitect1680]

I feel you. I'm in my late 30s and had the same reactions to many of Walter Hawkins songs. Eventhough I was a young child it's engrained in my memories.

[@LaKbiz]

You don't need a church to feel the love. ❤

[@TruDelta06]

The songs had meaning. Good old days

[@andrewmcdow1140]

homeboy KILLED that tambourine 😂💥💥

[@kirstendoe8480]

I mean, I THOUGHT I could play the tambourine but clearly I have no idea what I'm doing. You did that sir lol. Love this concert 🙌🏾

Right!! I am just making a joyful noise at this point! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@robynbentley240]

Oh

[@RoadtoEcoEmpwmt]

God gave me this song today while in church -in 2024!

[@claryp1509]

Millennial here, but my mom loves Walter Hawkins. I listened to this song so much as a child; now, singing tenor in my church choir, I sing their part loud (and in tune)! I love the soloists’ energy. This song gets me through some tough days! “Hallelujah” is my favorite vamp.

[@yvetterenee8256]

Amen. Keep singing these classic songs. Blessings to you and your Mom.

They are killing it on the drums, organ and tambourine. Classic gospel music 🎶

[@chrispleasantable]

Yes they are but I think it would've been better with a keyboard/piano and a lead guitar

[@MrSixtysevencamaro]

The Great Joel Smith on drums

[@carvisbigone2064]

the woman in the grey wow her voice was so powerful from looking at her I wasn't expecting that

[@twarren8080]

Carvis Bigone I thought the same thing

[@idae.biddle-mayer9279]

Rev. Carol King

[@mekkacrawford-franklin5286]

And her face never really moved!🤣 You know the scrunched up look singers get when they are giving it all they got?🤣 Which makes me think she has much more inside that would really show us what she has!

[@kevinbland]

Lawanda Scroggins and Carol King!

[@patriciagriffin4828]

Yessss!!

[@jazjr.1716]

Walter Hawkins playing the organ and Joel Smith on drums - awesome

[@pauliadonalson9839]

Yes, yes! Iconic intro, so anointed, gets you right into the spirit of praise! Love it!

Jaz Jr. was straight getting it in...... music!!!!!

[@ministersd]

I love to play the tambourine, but this man wins the prize. They don't even make tambourines like that any more. I remember that kind. I had to look at this again.

[@anthonyholmes71]

It seems like Walter Hawkins had a choir and band full of people that are exceptionally talented in their own right. They all really get into it and make you feel the songs.

[@joycecastille4485]

Both of the soloists are putting it out. They are both strong voices

[@BowBeforeJOW]

Brings back memories. I'm thankful that my momma was a Christian and not ghetto

[@JacquelynWhite-fy8vk]

As ALWAYS, well done !

[@rev.s.1954]

Thank You!

[@sweetshooz]

@Lawanda Scroggins I so wanted to sing like you when I was a teenager, you have an anointed voice. Although Pat & Dennis entrusted me to lead this song at Macedonia. (San Mateo) in the early 80s, I could never sing quite like you. You can't duplicate perfection!

[@buttafly1075]

No wait til the battle is over, shout now! I know in the end we will win! Hallelujah! 💜💜💜💜💜

[@sweetshooz]

I LOVE this song!!

[@niecyharvey6197]

My mother could play the tambourine just as great! Yessss!

I did not expect that deep voice to come out of that little lady. And the tambourine player is giving me life!!

[@jocelynh3708]

I know I'm only 37, but my mom loves Walter Hawkins and I've always gravitated to this song. I also have diagnosed brain cancer. Stage 3. I have faith that God will keep me, but if He decides to take me home, I want this played at my homegoing. Especially the part where she sings "why should I wait? I'm gonna praise Him right now."

[@estardeepbrown]

Hi Jocelyn, I'm sorry to hear about your illness. I pray for you to have the support - love, strength, and hope during these heavy trials. God will take care of you. Lots of love and greetings, Esther

Don? t wait? till the battle is over to shout now, You know in the end, you? re gonna win. (Repeat) When you? re burdened down with the cares of life And you feel all hope is gone. Don? t despair, God will be right there; When the battle is over? When the battle is over (3x), We? re going home. When the tears are streaming down And there? s no one around, And your striving seems in vain. Hold your head up high, your deliverence is nigh?; When the battle is over? Hallelujah (5x)

The finger of God👊! I can't turn back!👊 Who'll be a Witness! I'll be a Witness for Jesus my Lord!👊 Amen. It ain't about the music🎶. Sing under the Anointing's of God! But they don't know that the Holy Ghost isn't any Comedy. Either. Praise ye the Lord with your whole heart with a Sincere heart! I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, mind and Soul. For what shall a man give in Exchange for his own Soul! Amen. Found in Ephesians 6 -Ye must speak the word of God with boldness!👊 Found in Ephesians 6 -We wrestle against spiritual wickedness!
