Under the musical direction of David R. Curry Jr., and under the choir direction of Dorcus Curry Thigpen, the 100-member choir developed a sound that made them a constant presence on Billboard's gospel charts. Each of their recordings have reached the top position on the charts. Their debut album, Live, recorded during a 1988 performance at the Jackson Municipal Auditorium, remained on the charts for 45 weeks and earned the group James Cleveland GMWA awards as Contemporary Choir of the Year and Best New Traditional Artist of the Year.
Their second album, God Gets the Glory, reached number one two weeks after it was released in 1990. The Mississippi Mass Choir's most successful album, It Remains to Be Seen, topped the charts for 12 months and received a Soul Train music award as best gospel album of 1993. The album was the choir's last with founder Frank D. Williams, a member of the Jackson Southernaires and an executive in the gospel music division of the Malaco record label. Determined to bring together the best gospel voices in Mississippi, Williams had convinced Jerry Mannery, the head of Malaco's gospel division, to sign the choir to a record deal and serve as executive director.
With three albums released since Williams' passing, I'll See You in Rapture, Praise the Lord, and Emmanuel (God With Us), the Mississippi Mass Choir continues to dedicate itself to its self-described mission of "serving God through song." The Mississippi Mass Choir has opened doors for fellow Mississippi choirs,groups, and soloist including Larissa Tate & Romans VIII, Ben Cone III & Worship, The Voices of Hope, Dathan Thigpen & Holy Nation, and The Anderson Sanctuary Choir.

Writers will include Ben Cone III, David Curry, Jr., Jerry Smith, James Mitchell, and Milton Biggham. The choir will be under the direction of founding directress Dorcus Thipgen.
Malaco Records released an official statement that the Mississippi Mass Choir will record a Christmas album. (1st to be done by a choir)The project will be scheduled for a live recording in June followed by the release in October 2007.

Heard this song and testimony many times as a child. God brought it back to me as an adult, cold and shivering while laying on the bed in a psych ward. It took a while before I experienced divine joy, love, and this peace that is unlimited and can never fully be described. To be out of your right mind but come back to it knowing that it is nothing but God's love for you that kept you in your right mind to begin with... You can't help but to say yes to Him. 💖 Never call someone "just crazy"; you never know what demons they are battling and you never know how powerful their testimony will be.

Back in 1993 I was in college, a member of the GOSPEL CHOIR and was asked to lead this song. Although the song had to be taken down an octave so that I could sing it I did. I sang this in rehearsal that night and GOD changed my life that very night. This was the song that GOD used @ that time to minister to me about the next level in him. I was saved but I heard the calling of GOD to greater things and I TOLD him YES from within. MY SOUL STILL SAYS YES. Thanks for this posting
