GOD REWARDED HER WITH THE VOICE OF A ANGEL THAT JUST KEEP ON GIVING AT 500% AND BEYOND. THANK GOD FOR THIS GIFT OF LIFE FOR US TO WITNESS HIS GREATNESS IN A TRUE SINGER. ------DUNMORE MUSIC OF MONEE IL.
I probably listen to this every time I sit down to write a sermon. Thank you Rachelle, no seriously this rendition has blessed my life, truly indeed. You are anointed by God and such a blessing to me. The best voice this generation has ever heard. I love you!
Rachelle Ferrell is in a Class of her own!! She is truly Gifted.Not commercial( can't be put in a box) She dances( vocally to the tune of her own drum) An accomplished pianist, all natural!! Thank you, Lord( by the way....she slaaaays that song as well!!) for using Ms.Farrell as a vessel, to sing your Praises, which she does so eloquently. The gift that you have bestowed upon this beautiful Soul Sister, is loved by many( some can't seem to comprehend, because she's not an average singer, a showboatter, nor competitive....for what? I thank you Lord for this amazing vocalist, whos vocal chords have been touched by your Almighty hand. Amen and Amen🙏🏾🙏🏾
Rather you believe in God or not, a numb spirit has to wake up when tou listen to this It is so pwerful.I started litening to her in the 90's she is amazing almost unreal the sounds the vocals that she has displayed in so many songs ......DO IT GOD FOR RACHELLE KEEP ON USING HER FOR YOUR GLORY
This song takes me back to Triedstone Baptist Church when I was a child. All you needed was a piano and the deaconess's handclaps & deacons foot stomps. The Spirit was high in that place because praise & worship was honest. If we can just go back to the days of yea and nay.
Lord knows that every time I hear, play, or think of this song (especially by Rachelle), it brings tears to my eyes and power to my heart to make it. Those that dislike this song don't know how God sent His son to die for us to keep us close to Him. I can't wait for my, "Rest beyond...the river." God Bless Rachelle for her vocal and instrumental talent and God bless those who hear this wonderful piece by an angel of God.
Beautiful! I sent this to every one's email address I could think of in a short amount of time. Didn't wanna let the time lapse! So soulful! Beautiful she still recognizes God!
My God, My God!!!! I know that God has and will keep on showing me the right way...Dear God,I come asking to to touch those who does not know you in apart of there sins, father I ask you to please come right now Lord come and allow your power work thru those who just cant seem to find you right now Lord please in your name God.... Father I am asking you to plz lead them to the cross so that they can recive your blessing Jesus.... I PRAY RIGHT NOW RIGHT NOW HOLY GOD THANK YOU LORD AMEN
We're so used to luke -warm singing on Sunday mornings- when we hear somebody worship WITH ACTUAL VOCAL EXCELLENCE, we feel.......confused. This woman is the real deal. Anointed. Yoke-breaking anointing.
Happy Easter, thank you Jesus for "Keeping me Near the Cross". Rachel took me there at 4:26am Easter Sunday Morning. Rachel and the late Frank Williams both have renditions that touch the soul. She is the best and He is the best at making you feel God.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Come'on Rachelle, I have this on VHS when she performed on BET it was in the mid 90's Lawd I was in high school.... yesss sir I remember sitting in front of the TV recording this watching in awe!!!!!
That's your opinion. I was very touched by this. It's a beautiful song and spoke to me deeply. Just because you aren't "feeling it" doesn't mean no one else is.
I think that "luke- warm" singing in a Black church on a Sunday morning is very rare. I think that most church vocalists sing from the depths of their souls. I'm sure the church is where Rachelle learned to sing.
This is from her live "Welcome To My Love" concert in California back in 1994. The giveaway is the man screaming "PLAY IT!!" in the beginning, hehe. I have this concert on tape, but I can't find it. I'm glad someone posted it.
We need to remember that (6.30-6.35) she's been doing stuff like that since her 1st album back in the day as well as when she was doing compilations with George Duke. Love it!
As for me, at 6:28 like the sound of a trumpet Rachelle Ferrell's voice parted the clouds and her message went straight up into the heavens and found its way on the shoulder of God.
Rachelle is one bad sista! Every now and then, we need to take a seat at the foot of the cross and remember that it was His blood that was shed for us all....you'll find rest there.
Just bad as I don't know what. I follow every show u have in Los Angeles. This arrangement is exactly why. The angels truly rest in your throat. I wish u got your just do in this industry. Just keep on pushing girl!!!
But that's precisely why she will never be a Billboard artist, because she is UNIQUE! If she sounded like Mariah, Mary J., Beyonce (and if she danced and flapped around like they do) she would blow up. Ms. Ferrell is a TRUE artist, and I thank God that she has the integrity to perform for the medium and not the money!! She will never have to worry about losing her audience...we are huge, and we love her!
i'm waiting for the day this sister comes on a major show and blows everyone away. This sister can carry her own so why do they keep putting others when does a tribute, like Anita Baker's. All the guy that was with her did was blocked what could have been an awsome performance. At the same time one of Rachell's finest hour was when she sang "America The Beautiful" without music. She touch the depths of your soul and at the same time made you proud be an American. Look it up, it's on here
Thank you for posting this I LOVE it and I play it when I find myself needing to have hope, Rochelle, keep being who you are!!!! No matter what!!!! I really love you and your music, Greatness is often time unrecognized but you are one of the GREAT!!!!!
@PoetryMartyr DONE PAST CRY...This song is like a spiritual cleanser. Her rendition allows me to leave all my junk where it is and just womanup and move a little closer to where I need to be...compassionate...kinder....watchful...with all of bretheren held in prayer. Peace!
"If it could be done" , on earth as it is in heaven, a Women could sing/chant a call to God a prayer, in some Imaginary world, it would be this women...
1.Jesus, keep me near the cross; there a precious fountain, free to all, a healing stream, flows from Calvary's mountain. Refrain: In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever, till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. 2. Near the cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me; there the bright and morning star sheds its beams around me. 3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me; help me walk from day to day with its shadow o'er me. 4. Near the cross I'll watch and wait, hoping, trusting ever, till I reach the golden strand just beyond the river.
É simplesmente a mensagem que um pecador como eu precisava ouvir para se redimir com o Pai....Mantenha perto da cruz Senhor. Sempre, sempre e para sempre. Amém!
Because we allow the kid to call and request music on radio and video shows so that the real vocalist who are not important to them dont get support and have few outlets to display their awesome talents!!!!
Baby set it off, because you got it like that, outstanding piano, and singing - you go gurlfriend nothing like it before and never will be again, this good.
Can the two people that gave this song a thumbs down please identify themselves. You must have been smoking something when you did that. This is an awesome rendition. Makes me wanna slap my friend to wake up and listen. LOL.
I sure wish she would put out a gospel cd so I can truly enjoy the gift God
placed in those pipes of hers, AMEN
GOD REWARDED HER WITH THE VOICE OF A ANGEL THAT JUST KEEP ON GIVING AT 500% AND BEYOND. THANK GOD FOR THIS GIFT OF LIFE FOR US TO WITNESS HIS GREATNESS IN A TRUE SINGER. ------DUNMORE MUSIC OF MONEE IL.

The breakdown at the end... what a stunning gift.

This is a vocal instument of astoninshing ability & anointing! Wish she were in this genre more often...or maybe I've just been missing out.
My God, My God!!!! I know that God has and will keep on showing me the right way...Dear God,I come asking to to touch those who does not know you in apart of there sins, father I ask you to please come right now Lord come and allow your power work thru those who just cant seem to find you right now Lord please in your name God....

My favorite hymnal of all times! SANG Rachelle!
7:32 she spins the notes to a perfect ending.
I see silver and gold spirals with diamond encrusted tips.
BRAVISSIMA!
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💎💎💎💎💎
@emostars71, I'm in total agreement with you. I've been on Rachelle's tip for years. As you so eloquently stated "Mariah who?", she can't touch this.
THIS REALLY TOUCHED ME
i'm waiting for the day this sister comes on a major show and blows everyone away. This sister can carry her own so why do they keep putting others when does a tribute, like Anita Baker's. All the guy that was with her did was blocked what could have been an awsome performance. At the same time one of Rachell's finest hour was when she sang "America The Beautiful" without music. She touch the depths of your soul and at the same time made you proud be an American. Look it up, it's on here
this song makes me wanna shed a cheerful tear . thank you lord!
