Song: Take It to the Lord in Prayer by Nolan Williams, Jr. - Комедії
If they sound like this on video, imagine being in the room 🥴
I’d cry
That's what I'm saying.

Facts!!!!
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.
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!
Whos watching this 2020 mid of coronona virus around the world.
🙋🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️
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
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...
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?
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
Just relaxing in the choir room while singing at a level some recording choirs haven't reached. That sounded beautifully effortless.
The piano started playing and I just KNEW that I was about to be blessed. I was right. TOO GOOD 🙌🏽 bless y’all!!!
EXACTLY.
The pianist 💪💪💪
EXACTLY
100%!!!
!!!!
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
Still come back to this in 2023🤧
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 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 ❤️
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
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.
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

Who is watching this in 2020, amidst all the racial tension that has surfaced, and the CoronaVirus, and the global cry for justice?
God still cares for us, let us take our burdens to Him in prayer. xxx

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.
Best description of this performance I've read.
No egos!!!🙂💕💕💕
Omg it sounds like one person singing at the beginning!!!!! Gorgeous!!!! 😍😍
Anne Kibble that my Friend is what you call balance & blend , they sound so goodd
Yes it does
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 😘😘

That's all our sins and GRIEFS to bear*

Cumbered with a load of care
We should never be discouraged

Some things we have not
Because we ask not

Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
Oh what peace we often forfeit

We should never be discouraged when we

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. ♥️
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 🙏🏼🙌🏼
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.
That young man on that piano, wow! Those young people of the choir, wow! This just touched my soul! These young people just don't know how this video is going to bless so many people. God bless them all. They sound great!!
Lord forgive me for being discouraged!!! 🙏🏾😞🎼🎵 This choir stirs and blesses the Soul. 😊
aaand im crying at the gym.
The pianist is killing 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 .
Watching this in 2023 , feeling truly blessed!
I want to sing in this choir, surely this is what heaven sounds like daily ❤🙌🙌
Amen!
Me too!!
I NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO THIS CHOIR 🙋🏽.......THANK YOU !❤️
I hear you tenors...
The words of the song were not lost in this.
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🙏🏿
UA-cam needs a love option specifically for this video.
Lord this is exactly Whats needed this Year. All the Pain, The Loss of Life, The internal Turmoil... Have Mercy on Us
I don't know what's taking me in more. Their tone or the accompanist!

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!!!!
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.
I love how they all sound like one voice, they blend so well together

I'm pretty sure Jesus paid you all a visit that day. Beautiful!!
In times like these we need a Savior and a Song.
I miss music like this...
I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard
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 🙏!!
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.....
Young man on three piano is amazing.
I am listening for the I don’t know how many times…. So comforting. So authentic. So soulful. So anointed.
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!!!!!!!
My friend Ebony and I listened to this on repeat as we studied for an exam last week. Thank you, Aeolians!
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 🙌🏾
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.
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 song never ceases to comfort me...
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
Let’s get serious, church so that we can leave this doomed planet, forever! 🙏🏽
I come here when I need God's calming Spirit on my soul! Everyday!
As a person who went through both Hurricanes Irma and Maria, this is touching.
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.
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! 🙏🏾
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

oh my! This is so amazing. the vocals! the piano arrangement! perfection! thanks for sharing
Absolutely amazing voices! And the pianist is excellent! Surely blessed my spirit.
Amen!!!!
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.
We should never be discouraged when we take it to the Lord in prayer! Amen
I needed this right now I was just in a severe car accident that I shouldn’t have walked away from and I’m grateful and needed to hear this so thank you !
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.
Literally from the first second i was captivated
It's 2020 and I'm still listening!
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.
As the world is in chaos, I always play this song as a reminder that I should take my burdens, my problems to him, because he is my friend he will never forsake me. "We should never be discourage when we take it to the lord." Amen🙏🏾
I'm Still listening till this day!!!!
YES I'M STILL LISTENING
I'm moved closer to the heavenly throne.
Phenomenal choir.
Thank You Jesus for sending me this song at the right time. we truly have a Friend in Jesus, take everything to Him and let not your heart be troubled, for He truly cares for you and will help and strengthen you. btw, this is the most beautiful choir singing ive ever heard, you all are blessed, keep singing for the LORD.
No antics! No director jumping around acting like a fool! No drums and screaming! This is the type of Gospel I love.
Listening to this from Cape Town, South Africa. I stumbled across your arrangement of 'Precious Lord' and literally can't stop listening to your interpretations! I am now tuned into your UA-cam page and will be listening to each and every piece you do! I am a massive fan of your work. Keep on inspiring and stay blessed.
i have several questions.
1. how to join
2.where to join
3. Are they going on tour
Oakwood University!! www.oakwood.edu - They tour all year!
Make more of these please... Nothing fancy, nothing fluffy... But melodies & perfection in simplicity 😍❤️👌
Hallelujah! I have to admit, this is a much better version than the one with the additional instruments. Sometimes a piano/keyboard and beautiful voices are all you need to make great music.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow...
I have replayed this video at least 20 times today and every time it brings tears to my eyes and stirs up something in my soul. Anointed 🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
This song is helping me get through a break up. Definitely one of my favorite songs. You guys executed it well💖
We Never Know Why Things Don't Work Out Here On Earth But We Must Keep The Faith In The Sweet By And By Christ Will Reveal It To Us
May God keep you sis. You will grow so much during this time. Remember 2 Corinthians 12:10. Hes preparing you for something/someone greater!💗
Update. How are you?
Hope you are doing better babe xx
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…
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. :)
I have to listen every day. It takes me right to the feet of God.
keep posting...as long as you can...cause we need it....my lord, my lord
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.
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.
Sing on young people!!!
there's nothing here on earth that blesses me as music but this it more than singing i feel the presence of the lord it like i'm listening to angels i don't know how angels sound but this is heavenly
I first heard this rendition about a year ago and I keep coming back to it. It’s so beautifully done!
I watched you guy's video from choir of the world , and I can truly say you guys have God living inside of you , I saw people crying while singing and that made me happy , because you guys are doing something y'all are so passionate about and you're doing it to glorify God's Kingdom ! Man God bless!
Take everything to the Lord 👑 in prayer 🙏... Amen 💞
