The lady playing the piano is fabulous! Great singing! Wish we would sing more hymns at our church!❤👏👍 2:52
That woman is playing that piano. That's good church music.
This is rare. When I was growing up in the 70's and 80's almost every church had piano, organ and choir. It's hard to find nowadays, and much more to find it done well, thanks for keeping this kind of music alive.
My church will have a pianist once Im finished polishing up my skills currently there is none
Now it's a rock band. :( Songs with repetitious lyrics that repeat the same words over and over again that's shallow.
❤
Yes! Dutch churches ⛪️ still do this it's so refreshing 😊
I just adore her musicianship on the piano!
musicianship PLUS!
Such an inspiring choir, piano, and organ. Sharon is outstanding--what style she has. Really uplifting. She and Jay were a great power there.
The piano playing was very good.
That pianist is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
The organist is great and the pianist plays wonderfully like the pianist from the Old Fashioned Revival Hour
I am an organist/choirmaster from a parish in the liturgical tradition (Anglican), but I always enjoy listening to hymnody like this, especially if there's a good pianist like this one. The piano certainly helps to maintain the rhythm. The embellishments that she does is certainly a lot of fun.
Anyone remember the City Temple Bristol in the 60's. The piano and organ were out of this world. Beautifully balanced. Now sadly given over to overloud guitars and drums.
WOW.......ID GIVE ANYTHING TO FIND A CHURCH WITH THIS KIND OF MUSIC....SADLY IS GONE...MAYBE WE WILL HEAR IT IN HEAVEN.....THANK YOU FOR POSTING...GOD BLESS
Come on down to Houston and pay us visit!
Best of "Standing on the Promises" I have heard of congregational music....excellent playing of organ and piano....GLORY COME DOWN!!!!
That piano player is fantastic
Awesome pianist, she is spirit filled!
Two magnificent musicians! Jay using both hands , both feet,both eyes, both ears, and singing the hymn that his is playing so beautifully on the organ! Sharon is also an extremely talented pianist ! Just watching her adding in all those extra notes takes a tremendous amount of concentration and experience. We miss them tremendously, but they are using their wonderful talents in heaven now !
Are Sharon and Jay both in Glory now??? She and Rudy Atwood, of The Old Fashioned Revival Hour fame, are two of the absolute best pianists I have ever heard. I had the pleasure of having Rudy accompany me, when singing for Paul Rader's Crusades, here in the Northern Virginia,, Washington, D. C., area. What an absolute delight to know that you had their support and that neither of us were going to get in the other one's way!!! Just tell Rudy the key and he knew it from memory!!! Miss them both so much!!!
A great hymn, accompanied in an inspiring way by both musicians. Sharon Goldsberry is brilliant on the piano; the ability to improvise like this is not that common, but adds so much!
NO! She is showing off.
@@dalerider3124 I'm sorry if you reached a different conclusion to the one I reached, and have a greater insight into the pianist's intentions. If she played in a plainer, more restrained way, would it glorify God more? For me, Sharon is playing the best way she knows how, to the glory of God. Her contribution has evidently blessed many people (see comments). I cannot sit as judge and jury concerning her intentions, which are a matter between her and God. God bless you.
@@dalerider3124 Whether she is showing off or not (IMO she is not showing off, just playing according to her personality and talent), what REALLY matters is not the speed of the piano-playing, but the actual words of the song being sung......Standing on God's promises. A piano will not save one's soul.....God's promise, in Jesus Christ, will.
@@dalerider3124 you are full of you know what. Guess you are just one jealous…there are a lot of words I could use here to complete the sentence, but you wouldn’t ever understand even if you could read it. Thanks for your ignorant comment.
The pianist is just awesome !
Maam Sharon i love to see ur hands playing piano i appreciate it much,keep doin it for the Lord so with the organist so nice playing,and the message of the hymns so inspiring
I am standing on the promises of God that all will be well. We are going through the troubled waters at the moment but God is faithful.
Here in 2025 February-6
Discovered this by reading “the power of positive thinking” by Norman Vincent peal
Wow 🤩 amazing ❤
one of my beloved hymns, God bless you everyone, we need to trust in all of our God promises.
Wow such talent. Thanks for sharing this classic!
🎶🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵🎹
Love the piano player, she is terrific!
I don’t know her personally but I love hearing Sharon play. I haven’t seen her in recent videos though.
This what you call pure talent Ad Libing hymns
Tee I Amen and Amen!!
06/20/2024 : AMAZING! Oh my God, the lady pianist is fabulous! I'm going to send this video out to all my friends. I am so glad I came across this video. It made my day. Tim Brien/Des Moines, IA.
Love the tempo. Many hymns are played of a lesser tempo when these songs are full of joy, hope & promises.
FMC of Houston Chancel Choir is next to hearing the church triumph in Heaven singing their praises to our Lord. The pianist and organist are also all inspiring. I play hymns on my piano but not in any superb fashion as your delightful pianist does. God bless you choir and First Methodist Church. I really mean that even coming from a very conservative Presbyterian.
Feel the energy!!! Love it!!!
Beautiful. One of my long time hymns.
I love her 3rd verse especially
Me too, sound crunch
Oh how I love the pianist's playing
I love the tempo, but the director sets the tempo. The organist and pianist are great! It sounds like Sharon is playing her own arrangement, and doing a tremendous job. It amounts to a whole lot more than just “filling in the blanks from the organ”.
Agree!
Awesome Beautiful Praise for Jesus Christ, our Savior!
I always played the organ on Sunday mornings, but the fun came on Sunday evenings when I could play the piano and have some fun with all the hymn singing. Perfect evangelistic piano playing. You either have it or you don't>
Haven’t heard this hymn before. Magnificent, very joyful rendition.
Sharon reminds me of the great Gospel artist pianist and singer, Roberta Martin RIP.
Good and creative use of piano and organ.
This is just what I wanted to listen.
Wow!! Texas believers certainly know how to sing!! Incredible accompaniment!!
Very nice. Thanks for posting.
LOVE this tune! Both the piano and organ bring out the best -----THANKS!
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT !!!
AWESOME!!!!!! Thank you for posting!
Love your music!!! :)
You are my hiding place and my shield, I hope in Your word. Psalm 119:114
Hyms is so owe some... May good Lord bless you,,,
Amen and praise Jesus Christ from Taiwan 🙌🙌🙌
Only way to stand! The song I have sung since childhood thank you
Wonderful
I love choirs song ♥
If i can get a standing place on the back row with our Lord, my cup will overfull. What a beautiful sound.
The woman is cool wow
there is no other place to stand that is not going to be swept away.
Amazing love it ...
Perfect...
great music --wonderful piano--wish i could go to church there
Wonderful.
I used to sing this in church. What happened??? new evangelicals that’s what happened.
as in every age,the man tries to out do the woman but there is no way to deny who the real musician is in this hymn/you go girl
The pianist is dragging everybody along with her. The organist and choir can hardly keep up. I'd love to hear her play some solos. She's certainly got the joy!!!
I watch it just to see her play;
I'd much rather have the accompanist play a hymn, "too fast", than to play it as if she were half-dead!!
This hymn fits almost any speed from joyful to prayerful
I prefer good old organ! She overpowers everyone else’s, even as good as she is.
All In a Days Work ! Never!
Out standing
I miss her playing on the new uTube programs
I love this! I haven't seen Sharon playing of late, is she still playing I hope? You two work so well together. I am the organist in Illinois in a UMC and we do piano and organ too. People ask if all of the notes are in the acc. part for piano. I tell them it is just like "filling in the blanks!" lol This is Spirit filled music.
Written in 1886 by Russell Kelso Carter, an 1867 graduate of Pennsylvania Military College - now Widener University - in Chester, Pennsylvania.
What a piano player!
I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was 19.......I am grateful that we can gather together whether it’d be church congregation choir where two or more are gathered in his name there he will also be! However folks if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! Folks you are not promised tomorrow! If you want to know how to be saved from this horrible reality then please by all means don’t hesitate to comment right back so I can lead you to the savior! 2 Corinthians 6:2 clearly states “now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation!” And Hebrews 3:15 clearly states, “Today if you hear his voice don’t harden your hearts! it is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious gospel......John 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to me...... the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2,000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!
...you OK bro?
Modern churches have no clue as to this type of praise singing to God!
Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Through eternal ages let His praises ring,
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
2
Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.
3
Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
4
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
5
Standing on the promises I shall not fall,
List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call.
Resting in my Savior as my All in all,
Standing on the promises of God.
Amen
Something interesting about the organ: I notice it is tuned flat of concert tuning. I wonder why this is?
Talk about a pianist. Well that’s sure 1 and a 1/2
why play through the entire hymn before people sing. what about just a short intro?
Glorious. However, pianist is great. We were enjoying doing same at our Methodist Church at New Delhi. Pray for pianist, she now has dementia
What is this pianist called? She is fantastic could listen to her all day!
Sharon Goldsberry
Yes, the pianist is rushing “Standing on the Promises” a Little.
Where is this church located?
Can't hardly find a church that playa hymns anymore.
손잡았어요 손잡아주세요 😁😍🎷🎺💖💕
What church is this one.? Where is located?
First Methodist Houston is located in downtown Houston
I don't think they all go together, it's like eating fish and chips with ice cream.
This is rather faster than it should.
Thaddeus Shigwedha This song is not meant to be drag especially with the 4/4 timing. That's the right tempo to me not to slow or to fast to sing.
Baptists have a tendency to take their hymns at a brisk tempo. This is the tempo I first learned to play it, myself. I'm not a Baptist (raised Presbyterian, presently a practicing Anglican), but I did play for a couple of Baptist congregations, and learned that gospel hymns are not to be dragged.
@@gmc0422 These good folks are Methodist. Baptists would never have a cross on their robes. I sang this song many times as a Baptist.
bubba gump the Baptist church I grew up in had a cross on their robes
Can we clone Sharon??
that would be nice im a mormon and a local music chairman so i. think we need someone like her to bump up the praises of god :)!
it is too bad the choirmaster can not keep up
🙏🇪🇬 app agae mujh se like chahiyae hein to mein shaped hi like karo sorry very very fast sang God ke haq mein smooth and with the rhuthem of beutiness present ho zuada achae hoga apnae kagaz li tarah haea mein uran diya app ko hatana chahati hoon softly with inspiring video ho to aur pyara sundae mein lagae es tarah marks kam hai
Too rushy
Lovely but away too fast.
Not too fast at all. Hymns are not supposed to be sung as funeral dirges, they should be spirited, uplifting, and give praise, glory and honor to Jesus Christ The King of all Glory, who lives and reigns from on high!!!! Someday, face to face!!!
@@billthatcher4121 That is the speed I learned to play it
Two magnificent musicians! Jay using both hands , both feet,both eyes, both ears, and singing the hymn that his is playing so beautifully on the organ! Sharon is also an extremely talented pianist ! Just watching her adding in all those extra notes takes a tremendous amount of concentration and experience. We miss them tremendously, but they are using their wonderful talents in heaven now
I'm not sure that Sharon passed?
