That is a beautiful story.

My church growing up was Abbyssenia Baptist Church in Newark New Jersey.

My mother and father both sang on the choir.

The choir director Was Leon Lumpkin soon to become Uncle Snooky (RIHP). The very same writer of this song.

I love that you love the song.

It was my prayer for today.

I actually have this album in my collection of old school gospel. Growing up as a child my father was a preacher, when he first accepted Jesus as his personal Savior every week he would buy a Gospel album. In my neighborhood as a child everyone would listen to Gospel music on Sunday morning whether they went to church or not. As a child one day my father gathered all of his albums together and put them in a box, I asked him what was he going to do with the albums, he said he was going to throw them away, I asked him can I have them and he gave them to me. I am 61 years old and I still have the albums and I still listen to them. Because of the example of being a Christian and godly man that my father demonstrated before me no matter where we went, I accepted Jesus as my Savior at the age of 7 years old and I am still living for the Lord to be an example to others who I come in contact with that living for the Lord and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ is the best life to live. I am also a preacher. When I was a child my dad asked me what did I want to be when I grow up, I told him I want to be a preacher just like you, when my dad passed back in 2013, his 98-year-old aunt that helped raise him told my family that when my dad was eight years old he told her he wanted to be a preacher when he grew up I never knew that about my dad my whole life truly he was a blessing to me, actually my grandmother spoke all my life when I was a child and told me I was going to be a preacher when I grow up. I pray that these few wordsHave encourage someone today have a blessed day on purpose.

Beautiful testimony.

Amen 🙏💕

These words are absolutely encouraging! I'm 17 and also a pastor's kid, I actually found out about the Gospel Clefs about 4 years ago through the internet, and it is safe to say it's one of the most wonderful pieces of music our wonderful Lord has inspired! I plan on buying a second hand Gospel Clefs vinyl for Christmas for myself, haha! When I'm older, I'll be showing all of this beautiful music to my children. Have a very blessed day!! Thank you for sharing your story.
