    a customer walked into my office while I had this playing full blast and said "who is that singing, and is that Jesus music?" I giggled and said "yes it is" and they are the Gather Family. I turned my screen around and we both listened, as they got half way into it, where
    Guy takes the Solo and David takes over and He began to cry. I will never stop being amazied at what an impact their song have on people. Sets the stage to lead them to the Lord!

    When David opens his mouth I see heaven, I see Jesus sitting on the right side of God the Father. I see multitudes of angels singing and praising the Lord with him. My spirit wells up inside of me so much that it feels like my heart is going to split right out of my chest. I'm 71 years old and to feel spirituality whole again is amazing. My husband was a wonderful tenor. His music kept me alive and I felt toward him as I feel toward David. When my husband passed, I died inside. But when I first heard David, I felt closer to Jesus as I once did. Music is so important in your life. My family was all musicians and teachers of music. I love music and will until I die. Mr. David Phelps is the best musician of our day! Thank you David.

    Wow! The message and delivery are both excellent! Praise to the Author of Freedom! Thanks to those who support and defend it on earth, but remember the one who conquered death and hell to give us the greatest gift of all--eternity in a place where there isn't any pain, worry, or want. There are good leaders and bad leaders, great and terrible acts, but there will always be just one King. When all has crumbled and burned the truth of his love remains and nothing can separate you from the freedom that lives forever within it and nothing can erase the words he has written. True Love can walk through fire and that's what he did for even the worst of us. Death and hell couldn't hold him. His word is unbreakable, indestructible, and without fault, but he can break any chains that bind; the truth will set you free! Just open the door of your heart; he is the Rock you can stand on when there isn't any other solid ground; he is the quiet voice and will protect you from the storm; you can have faith and trust in him even if everyone turned their backs; he is comfort in times of sorrow; in your darkest hour he is there with you, closer than a brother and your best friend; he understands your pain better than anyone could because he endured more than anyone ever has or will and did it willingly even though he had the power to break the sharpest sword and destroy all who put him to death with just one word; he took it all and faced hell itself for his children and rose from the grave holding the keys to death and hell; he loves you more than anyone else is capable of because he is the very definition of it.

I see some comments comparing others with David Phelps…..seriously? Every Voice coach and teacher I have ever heard from believes David Phelps is one of the greatest singers alive today, and certainly a cut above anyone who has ever been in this group.

I dont think there is a better version of this song. I Love Mark Lowry and I still prefer this version because David Really went for that note in this one. Absolutely awesome, it makes me cry everytime, esp knowing where they were and what happened with 9-11

    This is perhaps the most stirring vocal production I have ever experienced. I have watched it dozens of times and it still gives me goose bumps. The entire group is just spectacular. David Phelps really unleashes the power of his voice in this one. His vocal control and precision is simply unmatched anywhere. The note he belts at 5:08. is mesmerizing. It's difficult to launch into an upper register power note like that from a standstill, and he executed it perfectly. What a gifted group of musicians and a great gift to all of us.

When i hear songs of praise & freedom it reminds me of what i no longer have but know i need to get back too. Getting back to the ways of the LORD have been hard for me LORD knows im trying but i can't break those chains that have me bound. When i hear songs of praise and freedom my spirit moves.

When I was at my lowest, her voice, and the message of the love, hope, and peace that God provides at every moment, well....lets just say... I'm alive today because of them. And David Phelps, I don't even know if he's human! I mean, I sang through High school and College, and to sing live, and with continued power, never hitting an off note.... well.....

I turned the station to Christian music and never looked back. That voice was not from me because I was busy singing. If you, as an atheist, listened to this music for 90 minutes and loved it, I can tell you, God was speaking to you. Not all thoughts are our own. We have thoughts from demons and from God. Demons tell you things like...you're not good enough, you can't do something...all of the negative thoughts that pop into your mind. And just an fyi, you don't need religion. You just need to know Jesus.

    This song is thrilling from start to finish. I call it the Halleluia Anthem of Freedom. When one can share in religious liberty, we have to be thankful. Many persons in some countries cannot freely worship. So, this song resonates with me as we do experience religious freedom in our country. Each time I watch/listen, I want to sing out like the Gaithers,"Let freedom ring!" It thrills my every nerve. I stay in "Standing Ovation" mode for a while after. They seem to be singing from the heart and that's what gives me a whole lot of joy.

    I absolutely love this song.
    Can't listen to it without getting emotional.
    When the camera panned around the crowd, there were some people that seemed bored and unimpressed with the music and singing.
    This is a powerful song.
    Also, the woman sitting directly behind them wearing a maroon blouse and brown skirt seemed very reserved.
    I know that you want to be respectful of the singers but at least raise your hand and say AMEN or nod your head.
    I went to a revival years ago and there men so filled with the spirit that they were jumping the pews and running the aisles.
    It scared me half to death.
    I love quartets singing.
    David Phelps has a very powerful voice.
    How some of those people in that crowd could even sit still while he was singing is beyond me!

    I told my daughter that before i die, I would so much love to see the Gaither program in person. I grew up listening to the Gaither trio. My father turned on the electricity, the first time WCTV Tallahassee was ever on the air. We had the Cathedrals, The Florida Boys, The Crab Family, and a host of other musicians. My father was also in a non known group, called The Joyful Singers. They did local stuff, but never made it to any big time act. I did however manage to meet folks like Jimmy D. Young, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. There was one occasion, while I was away at a Christian Summer Camp called "The Wilds", I missed the opportunity to meet Bill and Gloria, when they came through Florida. I just would love to fulfill my own dream of seeing The Gaither Vocal Band, in person. Of course this would only play second fiddle, to the birth of my daughter and grandchildren. The power of God, the presence of the Holy Spirit and the love of Jesus Christ, will guide me through any trials that life has to throw at me.

    Deep within the heart has always known that there was freedom
    Somehow breathed into the very soul of life
    The prisoner, the powerless, the slave have always known it
    There's something that keeps reaching for the sky
    And even life begins because a baby fights for freedom
    And songs we love to sing have freedom's theme
    Some have walked through fire and flood to find a place of freedom
    And some faced hell itself for freedom's dream
    Let freedom ring wherever minds know what it means to be in chains
    Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
    Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
    We can be free and we can sing, let freedom ring
    God built freedom into every fiber of creation
    And He meant for us to all be free and whole
    When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption
    His cross stamped pardon on my very soul
    I'll sing it out with every breath, I'll let the whole world hear it
    This hallelujah anthem of the free
    That iron bars and heavy chains can never hold us captive
    The Son has made us free and free indeed
    Let freedom ring down through the ages from a hill called Calvary
    Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
    Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
    You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
    Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
    You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
    You can be free and you can sing, let freedom ring, let freedom ring
