AMEN! Gospel wasn't trying to sound like "r & b" or hip-hop rip-offs...and the singers were SINCERE, because the songs were TESTIMONIES forged in the heat of persecution and hard trials--and the singers KNEW GOD!
i Love these old song....my church still sing this...and who on the organ...thats how they use to play it back in the day...my god...it sounds so good...that it make a sinner wanna live right...my god
This takes me waaaay back to church in the late 1950's--early 1970's! "WHILE I'M DOWN HERE PRAYING, LORD, SEARCH MY HEART!" A great song of introspection, asking God to search our hearts--and make us pure!! YES! Our black churches MUST recapture this SOUND and the SUPERIOR TEXTS OF THESE SONGS!!!
WOW! I remember singing this song many, many summers ago when I was singing with the Freedom Temple COGIC Angelic Choir in Chicago. My late uncle was the minister of music. Thank you for posting this wonderful song.

Martellis Thurmand this music is needed on today's fm gospel stations and not those lollipop songs This is Sanctified. You can feel the annointing on this choir and musicians
The Old St. James is no more...the pastor came and changed the name...it's some non denomonational church...but I've heard that they've started a new St. James
Dear God i wish these songs were sang in the churches just like this so we can save our people especially our youth.
Amen
this is back when gospel was gospel
