Song: Take It to the Lord in Prayer by Nolan Williams, Jr.
2024 anyone?
Yes -Oct 2024-Bless God !!
Yep October 2024!
Timeless and beautiful
Yes!!!! October 2024 I needed this version today 😢
Taking my job search (HR) raising 2 kids post divorce to him in prayer. My relationships and challenges.
My dad and I used to share music we found with each other all the time. This was the last song I shared with him before he passed from stomach cancer in 2018. It’ll always have a special place in my heart.
May the good Lord bless you 🙏🏼
My condolences ❤. May His soul rest in perfect Peace. Amen ❤
Such beautiful memories ❤
Rest in glory Amen 🙏🏾
My condolences @ TruthNIoV3 let us be faithful until Jesus comes. We will see him again.
Whomever that is playing the piano has Excellent Musicianship
Nash Shaffer Bro, that's what they do at Oakwood, produce excellent musicians.
Awesome musician for real
Simply awe inspiring!!! Sang on...sang on. Your diction is on point!!!
I wonder why there are dislikes?
Nash Shaffer - my exact thoughts. Who is he?
When they sing in unison, it literally sounds like one voice. Their dynamics are stunning. I’ve watched this video so many times. Flawless.
Agreed, truly unison. ✨
Each singers strengths demonstrated while still “listening“ to each other,👂🏼accomplishing an exemplary blend.
The dynamics, seemingly unconducted in the video, comes from each individuals interpretation of where our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s Spirit leads.
-Listening to each other is the essence of a quality ensemble-.
Well done folks, and to the pianist as well.
I, too, have returned to this video countless times. It brings a sense of calm and comfort.
Me too. I love listening to it when I feel anxious because it calms me down. This song is not only a prayer but a blessing 🙏❤️
I was just thinking that same thought. I look up to Dr Ferdinand. The way he crafts the singers into something clearly bigger than the sum of their individual voices is truly astounding.
Me too. I’ve only listened to it about 10 times today. I love them. Their unison is flawless!
2025!! Same thing still stands!! What a friend we have in Jesus!!!!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So many times I try to walk away from religion. But often I find myself arrested when I hear melodies such as this. Worship is not a chore nor a check the box on Sunday. Worship is as breathing, stretching, smiling, crying, being. I was created for worship. Meaning, in all things I shall SEE GOD (YAHWEH/JEHOVAH, ) AND GLORIFY THE MAJESTY OF MY CREATOR
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This helped me
This is spirituality
Gotta give the keys player some love
Excellence.
Absolutely! Beautiful and so complimentary to the voices. Unfortunately that's something we can't assume will happen anymore.
@@kandyappleview why not?
@@neattylulu9817 nowadays it's common for instrumentalists to miss the nuances of what it means to accompany voices rather than playing as a soloist or with other instruments in a band. "Accompany" them, not compete, or overpower, or be barely present.
Gotcha! Make sense...
Straight up.. Just Piano and Vocals.. No mics, no electronics.... THIS is real singing... :-) I know you all do so many styles but I love hearing you like this. Perfect execution.. I love you, thank you. Pitch, Tone, Range, Control... You make me smile when I listen and watch you sing.... Thank you so much for sharing.
It is superb singing and that piano is fire.
👍🏿
They take the words and sing them to minister to our souls just as a preacher would use them in a sermon to preach to us. It’s all about sharing the word of God and doing so in a way that gets people’s attention so that they will actually LISTEN and lives may be transformed. Thank You Jesus!
Lawd you are so right. perfect
12 hour’s later and I’m still loving the simple beauty of this song. No fancy gyrations, over-singing or over-playing. The music complements the voices perfectly and vice-versa. I can focus on the lyrics. Very refreshing. Thank you.
So very clean in terms of sound and harmony. Incredible.
Terri Wilson yes very refreshing!! I wish more singers and choirs would get it that all the extra vocal tricks take away from the simple beautiful of the songs
Yasssssss ... Less is always more ... Simple and clean
Yes! I’ve cried several times listening because of the message and the beauty, in the simplicity, of their delivery. Very gifted choir and musician!
That's very SDA... and very Beautiful!
Listening to this song in 2020. We really need this now. Overwhelmed with everything that’s happening we should always take it to the Lord in prayer
amen
Jesus is with you always Anya, rest in his divine protection. You are covered my sister
If only you knew what was next
Yes, thank the "lord" for the corrona virus.
We are in the hands of our Savior
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege it is to carry everything to God in prayer.
Somethings we have not because we ask not. Then we have a friend who's there.
When we're weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care we should never be discouraged when we take it to the lord in prayer.
Something's we have not because we ask not. Then we have a friend who cares.
What a peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
We should never be discouraged when we take it to the lord in prayer.
Ooooo
Take it to the Lord in prayer
thank youu
Thanks for this copy.. Wish we can get the piano sheet too 😘😘
ThanQ
Absolutely breathtaking! HalleluYAH. T/y. YAH blessing & 💕!

Bro Pits I try and listen to this song every chance I get. Reminds me of our faithful God.
I’ve watched this almost every day ever since the first time I saw it. My toddlers love it too.
I'm here July, 2020!!!!
Enjoying to the max
Listening in my office in tears, realizing that no matter what it is we can take it to the Lord. Thanks for sharing
Yes office life is no joke, praying you up!
Amen! May you be blessed ❤️
I have listened to this EVERYDAY since the LORD led me here over a month ago. I hope these wonderful kids are still holding on to the cross. I was young in this thing called Salvation threw the Blood of Jesus Christ, filled with Holy Ghost and fire over 50 years ago, he has not changed, Jesus has never failed me, he has NEVER moved or budged. I have had a journey of learning and growing and surrendering and repentance all threw the BLOOD. The journey has left me more in love with my Jesus. My body is weary, but there is a fire still shut up in my old bones. PRAISE THE LIVING GOD thank you for this song.. God Bless each one of these kids. I am praying for them.
The piano started playing and I just KNEW that I was about to be blessed. I was right. TOO GOOD 🙌🏽 bless y’all!!!
EXACTLY.
This has become the song I play before sleeping. It's a lovely song and prayer. Good night to all.
One of the best choirs I’ve heard tbh
Right, and no director 😮😀 At least that we can see.
@Christian Blanchard he sitting in the front row singing with them. It's the bald guy with the glasses.
The best university choir in the world... according to the awards that they have won in competitions!
Yes, he is the bald guy in the front row wearing glasses.
What a precious privilege it is to carry all of our needs to God in prayer. Thank You Jesus for sacrificing Your life and reconciling us to God, tearing the veil. Hallelujah 🙏🏼🙌🏼
I just got home from work feeling so depleted and exhausted. I was telling the Lord that I really need a break.. and then I came across this video. I opened the app and here it was. God's quiet and gentle response. It left me in tears. Thank you for sharing your gifts. God bless you all.
He is amazing !❤️
The same thing just happened to be. Praise God 🥺❤️
Won’t He do it?!🙌🏾💜🙏🏾
Almost the same story for me too
CHECK THIS CHOIR ua-cam.com/video/roCqkwTBQOQ/v-deo.html

Just relaxing in the choir room while singing at a level some recording choirs haven't reached. That sounded beautifully effortless.
Lyrics
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege it is to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Some things we have not
Because we ask not
When we have a friend who's there (he's there)
When we're weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care
We should never be discouraged
When we take it to the Lord in prayer
Some things we have not
Because we ask not
when we have a friend who cares
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
We should never be discouraged when we
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Oooooo ooooooo
Ooooooooooooo
Take it to the Lord in prayer
All of these beautiful, Biblical hymns I sang in church as a child (flanked by my Mom and her Mom) are coming back to me now as we live through the "very last days" before our Redeemer descends and shouts, "COME UP HITHER".
Thanks ❤
May God bless you for putting these up. When I was in the choir I rehearsed it and never was able to sing and really didn’t know the lyrics. Thank you 🙏🏾 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤗🤗🌸🌈
Thank you for taking time to post, I really appreciate this. ♥️
*LEVE A DEUS EM ORAÇÃO*
Que amigo é Jesus!
Pois conhece a minha dor
E me dá o privilégio de entrega-la
Ao meu Deus em Oração
Só não teremos
Se não pedirmos
Ao amigo que é Jesus (Jesus)
Se estás sobrecarregado
Cheio de preocupações
Seja agora encorajado a entregar
Ao teu Deus em Oração
Só não teremos
Se não pedirmos
Ao amigo que é Jesus
Não despreze a paz de Cristo
Nem se entregue ao teu sofrer
Não despreze a paz de Cristo
Nem se entregue ao teu sofrer
Seja agora encorajado a entregar
Ao teu Deus em Oração
Oooooooo Ooooooo
Oooooooo Ooooooo
Leve a Deus em Oração

This is just beyond superb. Everyone agrees on the intention and musicality of every single phrase, and the entire group seems like one person interpreting the song. It is just unbelievable. You guys are amazing.

The pianist is killing as well!🔥👀🎶
I love how they all sound like one voice, they blend so well together
I want to sing in this choir, surely this is what heaven sounds like daily ❤🙌🙌
Amen!
Me too!!
Our youth choir started singing this last year during altar call and it is always so powerful! This song has played non-stop in my head since yesterday and now I have the video to usher to me when I feel defeated. Thank you Lord for your resolve!
In times like these we need a Savior and a Song.
This song never ceases to comfort me...
Blend. Feel. Dynamics. You guys are so blessed and amazing. I literally cannot stop going on about y’all!
I lost 3 uncles in this last month and a church mother from covid. Through all the pain I just took it all to the lord. I have revisited this song so much throughout this month. Thank you for helping me get through these sad times.
May the Lord comfort you and give you beauty for ashes. May His peace be upon you. God bless you.
I pray 2 years later that God has been with you and comforted you
@@jkayin07 lost an aunt a month after this post. My mother survived alongside 2 of her last siblings out of 12. It was heartbreaking but God got us through it.
Wow, is anyone here in October 2024?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely amazing voices! And the pianist is excellent! Surely blessed my spirit.
Amen!!!!
God's grace and mercy! Take this time to be kind, check up on a neighbor, buy a stranger dinner, check on the hungry and homeless...see this world is not our home...we just passing through but on that journey of passing through what God has breathed in you make it beautiful!!!!!! Make it kind!!!!! Make it grateful!!!! Make it humbling!!!!!
Amen 🙏!!
Im watching, third phase of Coronavirus. May 10, 2021, I know that no matter what, the Lord has the entire situation in hand.
I’ve listened to this song at least 1000 times already. It just does something to my soul.
oh my! This is so amazing. the vocals! the piano arrangement! perfection! thanks for sharing
Lord forgive me for being discouraged!!! 🙏🏾😞🎼🎵 This choir stirs and blesses the Soul. 😊
I'm pretty sure Jesus paid you all a visit that day. Beautiful!!
Let’s get serious, church so that we can leave this doomed planet, forever! 🙏🏽
I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard
It's 4am and my anxiety won't let me sleep. One of my favorite gospel songs! 💗 Thank you for this. What an encouragement.
I am also listening to this 5.10am in the morning awesome
I hope y’all had a wonderful Christmas 🎄💕🎁
They sound amazing and he is PLAYING THOSE KEYS!!!!! I’m screaming in my living room and rewinding it. A 4 min video just took 30 mins to watch. How???? Anointed vocal chords, fingers and keys!!!!
Coming back in 2023 and the anointing on this vid is still thick!
I am going through a very difficult time recovering from surgery. I have been feeling doubts in my faith. This week, I have been listening to music, praying I would find direction. I did. This song has me stopped in the middle of my living room, on the floor, totally captivated, tears running down my face. Thank you for the gift.....
No antics! No director jumping around acting like a fool! No drums and screaming! This is the type of Gospel I love.
Amen this is my daily devotional when I do not know what to pray or ask for. I just listen to this when I get up and the home is quiet..,HALLELUJAH 🙌🏾
When the presence of the Holy Spirit is in the room!!!! You can feel it!!!! Thank you Jesus!!! Father God I will never deny you!!!! Thank you for never leaving me and thank you Mama!!! For handing me over to the Lord at such a young age of five letting me develop my own relationship with the Lord!!!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!! Thank you Lord for keeping me!!!!!! Your grace and mercy!!!! Lord I come before you praying for world peace family peace friend peace just peace amongst all men!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!!
I am listening for the I don’t know how many times…. So comforting. So authentic. So soulful. So anointed.
I have listened to this song more than I can count. This is what singing and glorifying God is . No repeating 1 verse 20 times in loudness, gyrations and theatrics. Look at the ease in praising God.. May God continues to bless this group as they sing for God and not to self. This makes me a proud SDA.
John 16:33
"In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
I come here when I need God's calming Spirit on my soul! Everyday!

(Ou the melody)
Take it to the lord in prayer
I have to listen every day. It takes me right to the feet of God.
2023 arrived with the anticipation of fulfilling one of my goals. Then severe illness came unexpectedly. Jesus said, Trust me with your life and I will heal you. I said yes Lord. Recuperating and my faith is growing. I am on the Verge of something great.
So beautiful! 💗shout out to the pianist too
This is a wonderful harmonic from some beautiful souls. Thank you for blessing a white brother in Christ who is celebrating the Sabbath at home with his wife and seven year old triplets.
God bless you and your family Sir! 🙏🏾
My favorite song sung by the Aeolians still ❤ such a masterpiece. Thank you Jesus, for everything.
Thank you for singing this song. Who ever knows two years later these harmony and soul put in this song can help somebody else out there recovering? Yes, that 'somebody' is writing this comment right now.
This just reminds me of how much we all have in common. It hurts my heart when people try to divide us when, as Dr. Ben Carson says, under the skin we are all the same. We are ALL the same! May God Bless and prosper every member of this group and their leader!
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege it is to carry
Everything to Lord in prayer
Trust and believe in God for he cares for you and loves you. Remember to repent of your sins daily and even get closer to God as God is coming soon and we don’t know the day or hour so be prepared. Be blessed. Matthew 24:36-46
When nothing else will soothe my nervous soul at bedtime, this does. Right under my pillow I listen...
Thank you for the blanket of comfort.
My friend Ebony and I listened to this on repeat as we studied for an exam last week. Thank you, Aeolians!
Phenomenal choir.
We should never be discouraged when we take it to the Lord in prayer! Amen
As a person who went through both Hurricanes Irma and Maria, this is touching.
Happy Sabbath, it is so sweet to have a friend name, Jesus, and to carry everything to Him in prayer. It doesn't matter what the problem is, take it to Him, He will work it out for you. Just try Him. He loves you and He cares for you.
Mad props not only to the pianist, but the extraordinary musicianship of the choir, too. I had the privilege to hear the Aeolians in person years back. The consistent quality of this group is like a standing wave of God's blessing.
I love!!!!!!!!!! the Aeolians of Oakwood University. They are a anointed choir. Praise the God of Isarel. The pianist is amazingly anointed by God. I love!!!!!! this video.
I just stumbled upon this as I learned that a friend, maybe 40 years old, has just been told she has a cancerous tumor on her HEART! Cancer of the heart! She is a VERY very godly lady. So, this song is a gift in the midst of such shock. 🙏's appreciated for Samantha. Thank you.
CE! Praying for her and everyone in her life!!
Praying for your friend! God has the final say
God is in control🙏🏿
Brings tears to my ears everytime I listen to this ... I need to get back to God ...
daniel dunbar get back to God 🙏🏽 praise the Lord Jesus Christ
Tina Kallichara continue to pray for me... Thank you and God bless you my sister
daniel dunbar i will, God bless you brother in Jesus mighty name 🙏🏽
Daniel. I'm praying too for you in the name of Jesus.
Jesus said unto him, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23)
Arlette McNeill - Thank you soo much .. prayer is much needed
It's 2020 and I'm still listening!
I miss music like this...
Praise the Lord!
The Church of Jesus has no walls!
Whenever I watch this video, I worship God.
Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
*I needed this for doing my final essay, love it!!* :) God bless y'all!
Veni Vidi Amavi I hope you got all A’s.
Life changing! I love You Lord! You've been such a great friend.
Stunning. One of the finest choirs in the world. To hear them sing this, after hearing them perform "choral literature" flawlessly and with an inspiration that is unmatched by anyone, is heartbreaking and a gift beyond expressing. "What a privilege".... "O what needless pain we bear"... THANK YOU Aeolians and Jason Ferdinand.... I hope I get to hear you live some day.
I couldn’t even count the number of times I’ve listened to this song since finding this video a while back. And every time it brings me such joy, peace and comfort. Thank you for using your talents to bless the Lord and others!
Same here ...Love it! Praise God
I don't know how many times I've watched this video as well. :)
Seen this so many times.... BUT today I just noticed former director, Jason Max Ferdinand singing on the front row...
Great observation...I didn't notice that neither until you mentioned it .
I'm currently going through one of the hardest times I've ever had to face and I needed this blessing right now in this exact moment. Thank you.
Jake bro, God grant you the strength to go through it, indeed, take it to Him in prayer
I'm moved closer to the heavenly throne.
The lyrics are so deep. I remember singing this in church as a kid, but as an adult in Corona 2020--- it's so revelant. Oh what peace we often forfeit... Oh what needless pain bare.
Angelic! Controlled! Melodic! Just awesome!
I will watch this and sing with this forever. Hope Aelonians can come to Scotland some day soon, before I'm too old.
Perfect..sounds so heavenly!!!!
It’s 2023 and this video is still in my playlist. This song is timeless and ever-relevant. It’s one of the most beautiful songs on UA-cam.
I wake up in the middle of the night hearing this song in my spirit. I can’t even imagine the sound of the Angels singing before My Father sounding even more heavenly than this…
