XMan Smith I don't think she wrote this because this was around the time they had split and they decided that they would try and do things on their own. But I could be wrong it's more of a question than statement
Alceda Neal Hey there! UA-cam the Clark Sister's and TBN interview with Juanita Bynum (or however you spell her name LOL) She asks who wrote her 2 favorite songs Safest Place and Praying Spirit and Karen says that Twinkie did.
XMan Smith and after I had commented I was going through my playlist and realized the Clark sisters sang it with Denise Clark it just was a little bit of a faster tempo🤦♀️But now I know it's the same song
This song taught me “to honor [God’s] Sweetness.” Being kind to others intentionally in spite of their actions or reactions has helped me reach a new place in God and given me a ministry that has brought forth fruit for The Kingdom of Christ. Thank you, Sis. Karen for allowing God to speak through you. Many blessings!
The Tri City Singers are so anointed!!!!!!! with their beautiful!!!! heavenly voices. Karen Clark Sheards vocals are on point. So beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BIBLE SAYS: MEN AUGHT TO ALWAYS PRAY AND NOT FAINT. PRAYER CHANGES CIRCUMSTANCES, AND SITUATIONS, IT MAKES THE STORMS IN LIFE BE STILL. PRAISE THE LORD HALLELUJAH THANK YOU JESUS. HUSH HOLD YOUR PEACE BE STILL IN JESUS NAME.
I can’t stop watching the vids from this entire concert. KCS’s voice is stunningly brilliant and absolutely otherworldly. It’s the ultimate reward gifted to Dr Mattie Moss Clark and her life’s dedication to the Lord as a music director and mother. She saw the greatness in her baby girl before it ever happened!
The styles back then...I love her hair and well her voice, I need say a word about! Yes she is just as beautiful as her offspring. Voices to match God bless them both!
Karen's vocal prowess on this song....omg... Her ability to bring anyone's song to life in this way is unmatched! Always brings tears when I hear this song..
Such a beautiful inspiring prayer. I appreciate Karen singing w/her eyes closed to the Lord. This was certainly more than just a performance. The Sincerity made it Perfection. A great blessing indeed after ALL these years!
[Chorus:] Lord, give me a praying spirit, A praying spirit. Lord, help me to say yes, Yes, yes, Lord. Yes, yes, Lord. [Verse:] A praying spirit throughout the day, A praying spirit in every way. A praying spirit, so that I might stay, Oh Lord, I want a praying spirit, Lest I pray, oh Lord. [Chorus] [Vamp 1:] Lord, when I pray, Give me what to say. [Vamp 2:] Yes, yes, Yes, yes, Lord. [Ending:] Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yes, yes, Lord. [repeat as desired] Ah, ah, ah, Ah, ah,ah, ah, ah Ah, ooh ooh. [repeat as desired] Yes, yes, Lord. [repeat as desired]
Omg the fact they re used eachothers songs in their albums is both cool and they kept their legacies going with my generation. THANK YOU SO MUCH MRS KAREN!!!!
Even in this year oh God 2021 we Say YES to your Spirit. We want your spirit throughout day and night. Your precious praying spirit is what we need My Father🙌🙌🙌Help us Jehovah.
I just love the Clark sister's. I really enjoy watching them sing live. I think that they sing so pretty and beautiful. It gives me chills and I feel tingles all through my body when I listen to them sing. They have a gift that touches your soul. I hope to meet them one day. Gospel Royalty they are. I love you Clark sister's.
One of my favorite artists. Her and Donald Lawrence. I played another hole in this CD. After this song, I didn’t want to stay in the UA-cam streets. I wanted to just stay right there. Thanks for sharing. Let’s stay connected and grow together
This song has so much meaning. The lyrics reminds us to pray without ceasing and that men should ALWAYS pray. Also, let us acknowledge that Karen is rocking this light green suit!🔥🔥🔥
I wanna be her for holloween wish I were famous I would rock this fit and that hairstyle on the red carpet stroll down the carpet like it's the blood of Jesus and fill Hollywood with the holy spirit and make them pay respect to Karen. She deserves a star on that sidewalk. 😂😂😂 I'm for real tho 😢
What gets me with this song is that the Tenors have the most simple notes, but they are the most Dramatic with facial expressions, while the Sopranos and especially the Altos(as usual) have the more dramatic notes and runs, with the less expression. Not even a Stank Face. I stand corrected, because the Altos and Sopranos of Tri -City are like that, now that I remember , "I Am God' and "Cast your Cares"
man ....these black women are beautiful ...!!!!!!....im not unholy ....just being honest ..😂😂....who 's the piano player ...He is mean , awesome ...Karen is tops
Well, it is Karen's solo album "Finally Karen." I am sure Twinkie, who was there at the concert and sang with them, was okay with them singing her songs.
Twinkie wrote a beautiful song...
Yes Indeed!
She is very gifted. Spreading the word to my Life. Praise the Lord.
Yes indeed..I agree
I wonder what's in Twinkie head. All that talent
Yes she did!
The Tri-city Singers are 1 of the best sounding choirs of all time🔥
Yes they are
I agree
Facts
Of all time....
heartbroken when he retired, he and Rickey Dillard have the best choirs since James Clevland and Donald Vail have passed .
Twinkie wrote the mess out of this song....the words are so meaningful
XMan Smith I don't think she wrote this because this was around the time they had split and they decided that they would try and do things on their own. But I could be wrong it's more of a question than statement
Alceda Neal Hey there! UA-cam the Clark Sister's and TBN interview with Juanita Bynum (or however you spell her name LOL) She asks who wrote her 2 favorite songs Safest Place and Praying Spirit and Karen says that Twinkie did.
XMan Smith oh alright just making sure. Thank you!
XMan Smith and after I had commented I was going through my playlist and realized the Clark sisters sang it with Denise Clark it just was a little bit of a faster tempo🤦♀️But now I know it's the same song
Alceda Neal Anytime! I love these ladies and their music!
That hair is in PLACE
It don't move 😂😂😂😂😂😂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Yesssss
Twinkie's pen is timeless
this is by far the best version of this song...outside of singing it in the clark sisters movie ,,, tears falling.
The goat
The pianist is out of his mind incredible...genius.
What's his name ?

Dorindas face at 5:30 is priceless
She is so beutiful and just georgeous and has always been

Donald Lawrence is a brilliant minister of music 🎶 the choir sounds like one voice
Karen's thoughts
0:33 - "Ouweee, I'm tear this song up right here"
1:19 - "Ok now, choir, y'all need to hurry up, I need to sang"
1:23 - "Bout time"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL LOL LOL!!!!
I see no lies here 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You wrong for all this right!!! LOL!!! I actually went back and looked. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎤🎵👍
😭😭😭😭
I started to believe back in the Lord , due to the Clark sisters.
Their music is amazing and touches the soul.
Amen, glory be to God
Hallelujah!!!!!

Yes, it does!
I'm here right now in 2020 we need more of this. Lord help us🙏🙏🙏
WE ARE STILL PRAYING 🙏🙏💜
The best song Twinkie ever wrote
Is My Living in Vain! The Best
It's right up there. 🙂
1997 was the best year for music. Finally, Karen was one of the classic recordings that solidifies the previous statement as FACT.
This album got me through college!!!!
Listen to this song everytime I'm up like I am in the morning missing my mother, it's been 16yrs.
Mk Daye
Bless you!
God Bless you!
God bless you!
May God cont to strengthen& be with you all the days of your life. God bless you❤
My Mom passed on two months ago so I'm with you in spirit, Brothah Mk Daye. 😘🎶🙌

It’s truly a GIFT! Her ear and mind is amazing to be able think of creative notes and phrases !!
@@theofficiallyleochannel2546 Yes! And the power of her conviction is the sauce… the defining touch!
There’s only one KCS!!! AMAZING!!!!!

SAAANG KAREN GIRL AT 4:34 GIVE ME A PRAYING SPIRIT AND IM GONNA SAY YES LORD🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Kamaria Cross stay in your word praying and fasting and read Luke chapter 10:18-20 pray that God breaks all soul ties
Let it!!!!!!
@@navontaehamp694 I just read Luke 10:18-20. That is so POWERFUL!! Thank you.😊
Kiearra looks JUST like & sounds like her beautiful and anointed mother
Karen's vocal prowess on this song....omg... Her ability to bring anyone's song to life in this way is unmatched! Always brings tears when I hear this song..
I like when it's just her voice over a piano/organ. No bass no beats, just her and them keys.
Hearing a choir on this enhances the song. Wow
The Clark Sister with Donald Lawrence & The Tri City Singer!? WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I want a praying spirit lord 🙏🙏
Such a beautiful inspiring prayer. I appreciate Karen singing w/her eyes closed to the Lord. This was certainly more than just a performance. The Sincerity made it Perfection. A great blessing indeed after ALL these years!
I've never seen a singer sing more consistently with such conviction. She's in a league all her own.
Help me when I pray.. everyday
Beautiful. I loved seeing big sis Dorinda watching over and supporting baby sis's performance, and big sis's song
Woke up 5AM this morning and couldn’t shake this song! Beautifully written and executed.
¡¡¡ITS GETTIN ME THROUGH NURSIN SKOOL!!!

[Chorus:]
Lord, give me a praying spirit,
A praying spirit.
Lord, help me to say yes,
Yes, yes, Lord.
