AWESOME Gospel Music: Al Green - Pass Me Not - Live Performance

Sanctified Gospel!  Reverend Al Green - Pass Me Not - Live

While channel surfing TV recently, I caught part of Robert Mugge's excellent 1984 film, Gospel According To Al Green.

The wonderful project includes behind the scenes interviews with the Rev. Al Green — along with some of his stellar live performances — and documents his transformation from a highly successful pop and soul singer to legendary Gospel great.

If you haven't seen the film yet — I highly recommend it.

It's available on both Blu-Ray and DVD through Amazon — as well as on Amazon's Prime Video Service.

Al Green Performs Pass Me Not - Screen Capture From Robert Mugge's Film 'Gospel According To Al Green'

I loved the live version of Pass Me Not from the film and went looking for it and found it on Mr. Mugge's Vimeo Channel — and he has generously allowed me to post it here.

Green begins the first 40 seconds of the video clip sharing that his experience in popular music helped shape him as a performer — but saying in the end it is "spiritual fire" that audiences respond to.

Then, as if to illustrate the point, Green launches into his sanctified, fiery performance of Pass Me Not. 

I pray this uplifting and beautiful song/video will inspire and Bless you!

Pass Me Not -  Lyrics

    Pass me not, Gentle Savior
    Hear my humble cry
    While on others Thou art calling
    Do not pass me by

Here's what I keep telling myself:

    Let me at Thy throne of mercy
    Would you please send me a sweet relief
    Kneeling there in deep contrition
    Won't you please help my unbelief

        Savior, Savior,
        Hear my humble cry
        While on others Thou art calling
        Do not pass me by

King of Glory - Lyrics

Who is this King of Glory
That pursues me with his love
And haunts me with each hearing
Of His softly spoken words

My conscience a reminder
Of forgiveness that I need
Who is this King of Glory
Who offers it to me

Who is this King of angels
O Blessed Prince of Peace
Revealing things of Heaven
And all its mysteries

My spirit's ever longing
For His Grace in which to stand
Who is this King of glory
Son of God and son of man

His name is Jesus!
Precious Jesus!
The Lord Almighty!
The King of my heart!
The King of Glory!

Who is this King of Glory
With strength and majesty
And wisdom beyond measure
The gracious King of kings

The Lord of Earth and Heaven
The Creator of all things
He is the King of Glory
He's everything to me

His name is Jesus!
Precious Jesus!
The Lord Almighty!
The King of my heart!
The King of Glory! 

(Instrumental Break) 

The Lord of Earth and Heaven
The Creator of all things
He is the King of Glory
He's everything to me

His name is Jesus!
Precious Jesus!
The Lord Almighty!
The King of my heart!
The King of Glory!

Jesus! 
Jesus! 
The Lord Almighty!
The King of my heart!
The King of Glory!

Enclosed by You ·  Lyrics

Will You stay with me when I forget You're there?
Will you still love me when my love lingers elsewhere?

I hear you softly speaking secrets that enclose
Words that softly linger with sweet repose

"I will never leave you
Leave you waiting ‘round
'Cause I'm the one who's been waiting
For you to turn around"

How can I contain You when You contain everything?
The house of my soul is far to small still I must sing

I hear you softly speaking secrets that enclose
Words that softly linger with sweet repose

"I will never leave you
Leave you waiting ‘round
'Cause I'm the one who's been waiting
For you to turn around"

Enclosed by You
In close I see
I am in You and You are in me

I Thank You - The Alabama Gurlz

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

God is so Good—I pray you are experiencing His Love and Grace today!

Back in March of this year, I found some videos by the Alabama Gurlz, a group fronted by four powerful female vocalists—along with their very talented band

Below, you'll find their live praise and worship performance of, I Thank You.

I love their exuberant thanksgiving to our Lord—that'd make even the staid little ol' lady who sits quietly on the third row of Saint Joyless Community Church every week—tap her toes inside her sensible, black leather granny shoes.  ← without moving anything else—because that wouldn't be "proper."

😊

As you listen, may God Richly Bless you and fill you to over-flowing with his Comfort, Love, Healing, and Peace!

I Thank You - Lyrics

Spoken:  Put your hands together

Oh! Lord, I thank you
For the chance to get right!
Before the devil turned my day into might

I won't stop 'til I get it together
No matter the storm—No matter the weather

Repeats

Anybody thank the Lord?
Let me see your hands!

I thank you!
You changed my life!

Repeats with variations

Beautiful -  Lyrics

Days will come when you don't have the strength
When all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart they'd see too much

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful

And praying that you have the heart to fight
Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
And they are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful

Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You're the one He madly loves
Enough to die

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
In His eyes

You're beautiful
You were meant for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're meant for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Freedom - Josh Garrels - Live!

Today's music is AWESOME!

Recorded live during a 2015 acoustic concert in Houston with Josh Garrels—the video features his song Freedom.

The lyrics are DEEP and challenging to say the least—and to my ears the song isn't easily categorized—except to say it has a unique, fresh sound.

But I definitely love the Truth Garrels expresses—pointing to the futility of searching for meaning in life without God—and then the Blessings (and TRUE Freedom) of knowing Jesus as Lord!

Freedom - Lyrics

Mhmm...
(vocal improvisation continues)

Professional or beginner doesn't matter
Every sinner is a prisoner in a body that is subject to time
Now my entwined mind tries to form a straight line
Not like twisted scoliosis of the spinal chord

Construct
Cross-eyed carpenters are cuttin' crooked lines
Can't construct
Man-made shrines when the winds and the water move the sands of time

Many minds on a deadline
Yet live life like a live wire
I'm not tired!
Of blood and fire
Spirit's moving higher than the green grass ever lifted me

Spirit's moving higher...
Than anything else ever lifted you
See

We got spirituality
It's living in us like one in three
Injustice is concerning me
In the non-linear eternity

I'm speaking paradoxically
But you can nod your head now when you understand me

This is for my free men
Whose backs wont bend in the lions den
Now with their eyes on the ending

This is for my free women!
They fight with their love
The bearers of our children

Free men whose backs wont bend in the lions den
Now with their eyes on the ending

This is for my free women
They fight with their love
The bearers of our children

We shine like lights exposing
What lies underneath decomposing
Unearth those chains that are rusted
Oh! My, God! Is that what I trusted in?

That sin? That tomfoolery? Ugh!
What it is is mental jewelry that I adorned myself with

The enemy's gifts, the man-made myths, the ignorant bliss
Of marijuana spliffs and alcoholic fifths
I got so sick and tired of it

Delivered and redeemed
By Christ I mean
It's time to start livin'
And get a reason for the rhymes

I don't wanna be dead-wrong on the deadline
Standing on the dark side and all out of time...
Like a blind pantomime's fantasize
Climb up his own ladder to the sunshine

Nothin's mine
That hasn't been given
No one's alive here
That hasn't been risen
For 19 years I was trapped in a prison

Feeding my escape by means of derision
But every man-made attempt just failed
When trapped in a jail
Of my own guilt, shame, and iniquity

I was looking for freedom
How'd I find freedom?
From all of this?

He said believe!
He said believe!
Who are you telling me to believe......

He said I'm the Christ!
So I believed!

Freedom! 

Mhmm...

Redeemed By The Blood Of The Lamb - Lyrics

I went down to the crimson river
Left my burdens on the shore
I went down a sinner came up a Saint
Died with Christ now I’m reborn

Yes, He washed me in His Mercy
And He cleansed me with His blood
Now I stand complete, I have been set free
I found Life there in the flood

’Not the same, I am changed
Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb
By His grace I am saved
I’m His child, forever - I am
Hallelujah
Redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb

Now I have the Living Water
From the Well that won’t run dry
All the pangs of life have been satisfied
By the precious Blood of Christ

Chorus

When it’s time to cross that river
I will shine in glorious light
When he calls me home
I’ll fall at his throne
Forever worship Christ

I'll forever worship Christ (repeats)

Chorus

Praise

Forever
Forever Lord
Redeemed
How I love to proclaim it
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed by His infinite Mercy
His child forever I am

Spoken - Revelation 12:10-11

Revelation 12:10-11

Singing:

We overcome by the Blood of the Lamb
We overcome by the Blood of the Lamb
And the word of our testimony
The word of our testimony
Repeats
Hallelujah!

You Found Me - Lyrics

I was looking for an answer, for a way to stop the pain
When You came to me with healing (healing)
I was looking for a fix, when You broke these chains
What a beautiful feeling (feeling)
I was looking for a way back home

When I found healing for my wounded heart
I found mercy in Your open arms
I found freedom when You set me free
I found myself when You found me

I was looking for solutions when my world went up in flames
But You walked me through the fire
I was holding on to anger, with my fists around the reins
But You were holding me tighter

I was looking for a way back home

When I found healing for my wounded heart
I found mercy in Your open arms
I found freedom when You set me free
I found myself when You found me

When You found me,
I was lurking in darkness
When You found me,

When You found me
I was running and reckless
Now I'm running home
I was running away
Now I'm running home

When I finally found my redemption
You found me and You made me whole
Yeah, I didn't know that I've been missing
'Til You found me
When You found me

'Cause I found healing for my wounded heart
I found mercy in Your open arms
I found freedom when You set me free
I found myself when You found me

Farewell to all of my resentment
All my discontentment
Is forgiven and I let it go
Farewell to darkness and the silence
Anger from the violence
Is forgiven and I let it go

When You found me...
