    WOW. I grew up on The Imperials in the 70's and 80's, and their original version of this song is one of my favorite songs of all time. This version is spectacular, and honors both the original version and the Scripture on which its based extremely well. God bless you gentlemen!!

      Then you will have been appalled by the song then and you will know how it is a travesty of the Biblical text which was debunked decades ago. If anything, it reflects all that the prophets rail against Judah-Israel as paying lip service to YHWH (like most of USA and UK at Christmas nowadays) while exploiting and murdering the poor and going off to alternative temples and shrines for their real heart and gut worship. It is more like the sin of Jeroboam as it confuses state and cult

    This content is what our churches in America need to hear, these verses are directed towards believers.
    The church in America has lost it's way, what with "I'm okay,Your okay" philosophy and the ordination
    of homosexual pastors and bishops. We, as Christ followers need to repent, humble ourselves, and
    fall on our faces in prayer begging for forgiveness! We, the church, have let God and our country down!
    Let us repent, beg for forgiveness, and go spread the Good News of the GOSPEL!!!!!!!

    Our nation is struggling now because we did NOT humble ourselves before God. It's not too late but this must turn around very soon. Keep praying and tell your Christian friends. Watch the video and read and heed 2 Chron 7:14.

    And it caused it to be my favorite scripture as well. I'm in my 50's now.
    This song and the scripture still hold up!

    "And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
    If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
    If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
    Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
    For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually." (2 Chronicles 7, KJV)

    Yes, David's Psalm was the one Jim Murray sang. Invocation - right :). Word's I believe were, "For those whose eyes would sleep. Render them in perfect peace". Man, it's been long enough I probably cobbled those lyrics :). But did love all the music the Imperials recorded but was partial to when you "Terry" and Sherman were with the group. Certainly was an anointing on you all. So glad you rerecorded "If My People". Beautiful man!
