I was a member of this great choir during this recording and we were an annoited group of believers who loved to sing and praise the Lord. Our group was so talented and our leader, Elder Andrew Butts was truly a man of God, sent by God. WE ROCKED ALL 3 RECORDINGS, AT THE MASONIC TEMPLE IN CLEVELAND, THE STUDIO IN CLEVELAND AND SEVERANCE HALL IN CLEVELAND. GOD BLESS THE ENTIRE GROUP. LOVE REV. J DOZIER
My daughter who has suffered from mental illness all her life, was on a weekend pass 8/18/24, was on UA-cam listening to her favorite gospel song , in particular Richard Smallwood, and this song was on her hit list. It bought back so many memories. She's my miracle daughter, and no matter what she goes through, she knows her Redeemer lives ❤ "Have you heard." Sooooo beautiful 😍 😊
When I'm at my lowest at a time such as this. Everything I've worked for has been stolen and destroyed. My home deed was stolen. My property was destroyed. Everything I worked for all my life the enemy has stolen Yet I hear ...that Jesus is the Greatest ! But I say.. 🗣️Thou he slay me Yet will I trust Him He is the Greatest Have you Heard ... It's alright now
Wow, God has cleared the way for a miracle. He has taken away what you worked for, to make room to give you what He has prepared for you. Trust Him! What God gives you no man can't take away. You can't even reject the blessing he has for you so prepare yourself to receive it. Try HOLD ON HELP IS ON THE WAY. It's another old but goodie. Hallelujah
Wow! I haven't heard this song in so long. I forgot how it could move me. Now I can't stop playing it. As I am writing this, I'm about on the 5th replay...
My favorite part is when they sing "ye-s Je-sus lo-ves yo-u...have you heard. Chills because its so true. Sometimes when we're going through we forget that Jesus is the greatest friend of all that we can talk to day and night. He won't tell anyone he just listens, and if you do happen to shed a tear, he'll be right there to wipe it away!! Guess what you feel so much better because you know the greatest friend of all is right there.
I heard this yesterday and it has been years since I heard it. I've been playing it every since. This song will take you in I forgot I was at work.....when they say He's alive yes my God today🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Praise the Lord! I listened to this song when I was younger & it blessed me & it still blesses my soul now. He is the greatest friend of all! Thank you Lord! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This was very heart warming inspirational hearing this. I recall 1540 am WABQ in Cleveland Ohio using this as there song to sign off the air back in the early to mid 90's. Thanks for the post. God Bless!
2021, and HE'S the Greastest Friend of ALL still. Will never /can't ever doubt HIS faithfulness, grace, peace, joy, justice, favor, provisions, free salvation.etc etc Keep in mind listeners : Christ doesn't lie nor can HE fail ! Walk in truth and victory.
Wednesday Worship Hour in my house, this song is a blessing at all time. Healed my Bobby back in 2004 from cancer, a fast running cancer, was said it would be through, chemo, and I was, I waned the surgery, It was the best, but the cancer was going, and shrunk as God , promised. We all know we will not live forever, as Lazarus, died again, but it sure increases you faith in God, when he shows up for you. I am fully committed, to you Lord. / Memphis Ten. /Tenn 5. / Jesus Is The Way Church of God In Christ, 1884 Farrington St. Pastor Willie Hilliard, 1st Lady Gloria J. Hilliard

To God Be The Glory🙌! This is truly a blessing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for posting this song. I've loved it for many years and since finding it this moring, I've listened to it three times. If only others would really 'hear' about my Jesus; He is so sweet, so wonderful, so compassionate, so forgiving...I can go on and on. I thank God for Jesus!!!!!
I love, love, love this song! "He's the greatest friend of all, if you need a doctor a lawyer, whatever you need he'll be there for you! Yes, He will, yes,He will!" This song would tear the church up when we would sing it.

Actually it was originally released in 1992 on cassette locally as the Ohio Mass Choir, and the song was originally called "He's the Greatest". Redemption records picked up the recording a year and a half later and distributed it nationally. GMWA later recorded it at the 1993 Convention in Indianapolis as well.
I'm with Vanessa I can't stop playing this song;it's so uplifting Jesus is the greatest friend of all, there's no one like Him. He's the joy of my salvation I would not be here had it not been for Jesus he's my healer. Jesus is alive. I love this Choir they are really singing this song.
