Who's here in July 2024? Yes, it pays every step of the way to serve Jesus. Hit by car Fall hit head on concrete Fall and disclocate shoulder Satan took away great grandchildren Smh, the half has never been told. 😢 But God is still on His Throne. Hallujah!!!!!
2024 and this still takes me to the throne. I was there, it was the first time that I allowed myself to worshio publicly without caring who was watching.
Laying here in bed and through the storms and trials going in in my life and my family one funeral of the young wife then her husband died that night now another service on Saturday but I'm here ti say it pays to serve Jesus no matter what continuous prayers for everyone hold on don't let go no matter what the payment from Jesus is the ultimate reward
The service of Jesus true pleasure affords, In Him there is joy without an alloy; ’Tis Heaven to trust Him and rest on His words; It pays to serve Jesus each day. Refrain: It pays to serve Jesus, it pays every day, It pays every step of the way, Though the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear, You’ll be happy each step of the way. It pays to serve Jesus whate’er may betide, It pays to be true whate’er you may do; ’Tis riches of mercy in Him to abide; It pays to serve Jesus each day. Though sometimes the shadows may hang o’er the way, And sorrows may come to beckon us home, Our precious Redeemer each toil will repay; It pays to serve Jesus each day.
Moments like this define my oakwood experience. I've gained some once in a lifetime blessings, singing with this choir. So blessed to have been a part of the ministry in this video
They are praising God for what He has done in the lives of choir members and also in their lives. When the Aeolians sing anywhere, their intent is witnessing for Jesus. Their voices are used to bless others. God Bless
This young man sang at my church, Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Sunday (September 21) for Homecoming. He has aged like fine wine. His voice is still as powerful three years later. Phenomenal talent.
I couldn’t put my finger on it but Whitney Houston’s influence is every evident in his own style. Riff for riff, vocal colouring. He is male Whitney Houston. Amazing!
Our pastor played this video during New Years Eve communion service & it was powerful! God bless this choir & the brother who was used by the Holy Spirit to minister through the lead of this song. What a way to start the New Year!!!
OMG the choir and the Anointed Gentlemen that led this song touch my SOUL lord Jesus this is Absolutely beautiful!!!!! Wow I am just filled it pays to serve Jesus!!!!
Good grief, what a director. Awesome leadership! This is the definition of full on anointed moment where all elements involved in this ministry were one accord.
It is refreshing to see young people that are not looking like people out of their minds Praise God there are somebody that looks like what God made man to look like
just beautiful! bro Paul will make sure you understand, before you leave this song, that it pays to serve Jesus! HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU JESUS! GLOOOORRRRAAAAAAYYYYYY, BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD! YES! GOD! IT PAYS TO SERVE YOU AND YOU ALONE¡ HEEEEEEEYYYYYY! THANK YA JESUS! I CAN'T STOP PRAISING HIM!!!!!!! HALLELUJAH JESUS JESUS JESUS!!!!!!!!!!! IT PAYS........
Wonderful , beautiful , excellent , extraordinary performance and the name of Jesus Christ ! ! ! Only words cannot express the joy that song brings to me today. Hallelujah praise the Lord Jesus Amen ! Amen ! and Amen ! ! !
Hallelujah For the brothers gift of singing! Hallelujah for the choir, their musical director and the orchestra. Hallelujah for my Pentecostal brothers and Sisters. I love them. I am Seventh Day Adventist! Can't wait to dance and shout Hallelujah with my brothers and sisters of all faith who have been washed in the blood of the lamb. Hallelujah!
I MAGNIFY THE LORD And His praise shall continually be in my mouth. This powerful man of God has done it times and times again....AAMEN! I've depended on ' It pays to serve JESUS" day after fast, night after night; Hour after hour abs minutes ager minutes...AAMEN!! May The Only Wise true and living God caused hid Banner to be always over this faithful servant and caused him to rise from strength t o s trength and glory to glory abs an abundant faith.
1 It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart; He’ll always be with us, if we do our part; There’s naught in this wide world can pleasure afford, There’s peace and contentment in serving the Lord. Refrain: I love Him far better than in days of yore, I’ll serve Him more truly than ever before; I’ll do as He bids me, whatever the cost, I’ll be a true soldier - I’ll die at my post. 2 And oft when I’m tempted to turn from the track, I think of my Savior - my mind wanders back To the place where they nailed Him on Calvary’s tree- I hear a voice saying, I suffered for thee. [Refrain] 3 There’s a place that remembrance still brings back to me, ’Twas there I found pardon - ’twas Heaven to me; There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul, My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole. [Refrain] 4 How rich is the blessing the world cannot give, I’m satisfied fully for Jesus to live; Tho’ friends may forsake me, and trials arise, I’m trusting in Jesus, His love never dies. [Refrain]
October of 2022 and our world is in perilous times. Yet, we have a loving Savior, Jesus who keeps us in perfect peace. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!!! Amen.
Just so true and beautiful a message to us all. The beauty and joy of the glory of God’s love for us is expressed through Paul, the choir and the orchestra. I tear up just hearing it. Our God is good. Yes, yes yes dear Lord yes.
Give Him praise! Hallelujah! This is the testimony of my life - It pays to serve Jesus, it pays everyday, it pays every step of the way. I am blessed each and every time I view this video and am thankful for God allowing someone to post it on CZcams.
At 8:25 the choir sings again the reprise "Though the pathway to glory....." then the soloist is like a VOICE in the desert...reminding all Christians to NEVER ever compromise their FAITH in Jesus's power, imagine a time when you had to hold on through trials or think amd reflect on this song when you have to take a stand for the Lord..what awesome moments of renditions...Amen and Amen
Glory to God! This is TRUTH.... It pays to serve my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! You reign on high and reach low... Thank You My Lord! I Love you so much!
I wanted to click out at the first few minutes... because to me Oakwood is now so worldly, and more Catholic... but I stayed because of the comments. I am not disappointed! PRAISE GOD! The message is a sermon all by itself.
It does pay to serve Jesus!!!!. What a blessing this confirmation in song is. These young people did a magnificent job and you can tell they are having an experience. Mr Ferdinand/Paul Heflin you are both gifted and a blessing. Keep serving Jesus. Can't you just imagine what heaven will be like?!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!

Laying here in bed and through the storms and trials going in in my life and my family one funeral of the young wife then her husband died that night now another service on Saturday but I'm here ti say it pays to serve Jesus no matter what continuous prayers for everyone hold on don't let go no matter what the payment from Jesus is the ultimate reward
Be encouraged. God is always there for strength and support. 🙏
The service of Jesus true pleasure affords,
In Him there is joy without an alloy;
’Tis Heaven to trust Him and rest on His words;
It pays to serve Jesus each day.
Refrain:
It pays to serve Jesus, it pays every day,
It pays every step of the way,
Though the pathway to glory may sometimes be drear,
You’ll be happy each step of the way.
It pays to serve Jesus whate’er may betide,
It pays to be true whate’er you may do;
’Tis riches of mercy in Him to abide;
It pays to serve Jesus each day.
Though sometimes the shadows may hang o’er the way,
And sorrows may come to beckon us home,
Our precious Redeemer each toil will repay;
It pays to serve Jesus each day.
Thanking for caring to share. Couldn't find the lyrics anywhere.

Greatest musical piece from the Aeolians that I've heard,indeed.It is ,at least,my favorite Aeolian rendition.Powerful song,soloist and choir as well.
This song had carried me from dispear to hope
Trust in the Lord and pray without ceasing. Jesus hears your prayer. God Bless.
