I fell asleep listening to an Emotions playlist, and this was playing as I was dreaming. I envisioned the spirit of Christ as liquid light..flowing through and filling everything it touches with a brilliant and energetic glow. The sound of their voices was living proof of a divine connection between humanity and God.
1. Master, the tempest is raging! The billows are tossing high! The sky is o'ershadowed with blackness. No shelter or help is nigh. Carest thou not that we perish? How canst thou lie asleep When each moment so madly is threat'ning A grave in the angry deep? (Chorus) The winds and the waves shall obey thy will: Peace, be still. Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea Or demons or men or whatever it be, No waters can swallow the ship where lies The Master of ocean and earth and skies. They all shall sweetly obey thy will: Peace, be still; peace, be still. They all shall sweetly obey thy will: Peace, peace, be still. 2. Master, with anguish of spirit I bow in my grief today. The depths of my sad heart are troubled. Oh, waken and save, I pray! Torrents of sin and of anguish Sweep o'er my sinking soul, And I perish! I perish! dear Master. Oh, hasten and take control! 3. Master, the terror is over. The elements sweetly rest. Earth's sun in the calm lake is mirrored, And heaven's within my breast. Linger, O blessed Redeemer! Leave me alone no more, And with joy I shall make the blest harbor And rest on the blissful shore.

There's another CZcams video that shows the Emotions doing this song before a church congregation. Very moving -- the reactions of the congregation are as uplifting and heart-rending as the singing.
Their voices are nothing short of heaven. This song is powerful especially when they do it. I also love the video version of this song from the Watts Movie
God is Excellent HALLELUJAH

AMAZING... THE EMOTIONS...THIS IS CHURCH AT IT'S FINEST. THANK YOU JESUS..
One of the best scenes from Wattstax. I'm not sure if this would have had the same impact on the big stage. The church was a perfect setting.
Ms. Shelia's voice sooooo classic ,can't NOBODY sang like her.......NOBODY....
momma remember this one that was played at ur funeral on feb14th. tha day that I let u go up in heaven.forever missing my bestie
I find myself playing this song over and over again
I was blessed to be at that concert at the Los Angeles Colliseum, and this is the recording, live from the stadium
Priceless…gone but not forgotten.
Lord, Lord,Lord !!!!!!
1. Master, the tempest is raging!
The billows are tossing high!
The sky is o'ershadowed with blackness.
No shelter or help is nigh.
Carest thou not that we perish?
How canst thou lie asleep
When each moment so madly is threat'ning
A grave in the angry deep?
(Chorus)
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will:
Peace, be still.
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, be still; peace, be still.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, peace, be still.
2. Master, with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today.
The depths of my sad heart are troubled.
Oh, waken and save, I pray!
Torrents of sin and of anguish
Sweep o'er my sinking soul,
And I perish! I perish! dear Master.
Oh, hasten and take control!
3. Master, the terror is over.
The elements sweetly rest.
Earth's sun in the calm lake is mirrored,
And heaven's within my breast.
Linger, O blessed Redeemer!
Leave me alone no more,
And with joy I shall make the blest harbor
And rest on the blissful shore.
Lord Lord Lord!!!
Glory Glory Glory!!!
The Emotions .the rest speak for it self
This version is longer than in the original Wattstaxx movie, thanx a lot!

This is the performance in the church scene of the video Wattstax. This song reduces me to tears.
Heard this on I heart radio about a month ago and absolutely love it! Thanks for the upload.
There's no way you can listen to this and did not bring tears to your eyes you can't do it ..
Clarence Morris it’s possible. But I enjoy it thoroughly, but don’t get teary eyed.
Their voices are nothing short of heaven. This song is powerful especially when they do it. I also love the video version of this song from the Watts Movie
my god,,,my god,,, Peace be Still,,,stop killing us
Sit and listen to this and try not to cry.
loudrockmusic1 That never works for me 😳
loudrockmusic1
Can't be done. Glory to GOD!
I don't think you can listen to this and not cry the joy and glory . This is Church .
Especially if you’re going through tough circumstances in your life and might be wondering “how long... “
Soul Stirring!!
mon coeur à explosé, merci les filles!
Its extremely hard to not tear up hearing this song regardless of how many times
Recorded not at the concert but in a church hall
