    LYRICS:
    I believe in a hill called mount calvary
    I believe whatever the cost
    And when time has surrendered
    And earth is no more
    I'll still cling to the old rugged cross
    I believe that this life with its great mysteries
    Surely someday will come to an end
    But faith will conquer the darkness and death
    And will lead at last to my friend
    I believe that the Christ
    Who was slain on the cross
    Has the power to change lives today
    For He changed me completely
    A new life is mine
    And that is why by the cross
    I will stay
    I believe in a hill called mount calvary
    I believe whatever the cost
    And when time has surrendered
    And earth is no more
    I'll still cling to the old rugged cross

    I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me.

    Michael English, Wes Hampton, David Phelps, Mark Lowry and Bill Gaither were unequivocally THE best Gaither Vocal Band. Their vocal harmony and singular nuances match better than any other GVB put together. Talent unmatched and perfection together!! I’ve worshipped, praised and had such soul changes listening to these men sing and usher us into the very Presence of God - thank you for all you’ve given to the world gentlemen!! ❤

      I have stood in front of a congregation of people and sang worship songs with microphone in hand. In that moment when you're on stage it's not a performance for people. It's worship and your song IS your testimony. It's not about me or the band or anything else at that moment. It's me and the Trinity. I sing to them and yes "By the cross I shall stand."
      Michael was doing just that. He's screwed up, made mistakes. Haven't we all. Thankfully we have a God that made a way through Jesus that all one must do to earn his mercy is...
      have
      true
      faith.
      Have true faith and works will come, but by no means will works EVER bring salvation. That is why I sing not to a congregation but to a God who loves me and gave me a talent and while I worship him maybe just maybe I can bring a few with me.

Great harmonies, powerful lyrics and anointed singers. Perfect combination.

    I love Michael. I saw him in concert some 10 years ago and I was going through the same things he had been going in his life and I cried the whole concert then after the concert he sat down with me and I opened up with him about my addiction to pain killers. I had been addicted for years. It always starts innocently I had two major back surgeries torn rotator and bicep. I was a weight lifter. Michael prayed with me gave me his book and wrote the prodigal son comes home. By the grace of God I am free of addiction. I lost my wife of21 years because of my addiction. But I can say I am a happy man today

    Michael of course struggled with his voice through the years. His first 3-5 years were unlike anything we've ever seen with a range from top to bottom unprecedented. In his prime, he could have even held his own beside David. Not as high, but hold his own. Michae had a very unique Bartone which he would use in certain songs to create such an impressive low sound. His ability to hit a peak and hold a note in his prime was astounding. I said that to say, this concert in Texas, was likely the last time Michael sang with a complete voice with little to no limitations.....And, this show with these members and this track list was in my opinion the best concert put together by any Gaither Band in its long history. I say this primarily because I love the old hymns and gospel songs done here by such gifted singers. Not just talented but, Gifted.

      Michael English has been a favorite of mine since his Inperials days. He isn't new to the Grace of the Lord; he's sung about it for at least 30 years. He stepped into the spot vacated by Guy Penrod, and positively nailed verse 2. As George Younce of the Cathedrals once said, "If that don't ring your bell, your clapper's broke!" 😅❤

    God Bless the Memory and Legacy of Anthony Berger. He and Roger Bennett shared the NQC "instrumentalist of the Year " award, alternatelu, for 15 years running. Anthony died, PLAYING, on a Gaither cruise. Russ Taff was one of the first people to get to Anthony, and move him back to a stateroom for Medics to attend. I wasn't on the cruise, but the account is valid from Taff and Gaither, who led the whole crowd in prayer as medics tried to restart Anthony's heart. An audience member noticed he wasn't moving, and had frozen in place. Russ got to him just in time, and kept him from falling off the piano bench. He was an amazing player. This tune, and many others for the Gaithers, as well as Lamp Music Group in Georgia.

      I am very sorry that you feel that way but it appears that you are confused. God gave angels, Lucifer is an angel, free will which means they can choose to do right or not. Consequently, when Satan fell God made plans for the redemption of man. If you have chosen to turn your back of God, understand He will not turn His back on you. I personally would question whether you really know Jesus as Messiah and Lord. Jesus is a very real person that you can get to know and it takes time but it sounds like you got mixed up in something that is taking your attention away from the cross.

    This conglomerate of these 5 is THE BEST that Gaithers has put together, I know Bill Gaither is going by age instead , he’s afraid of loosing his attraction of youth , maybe these guys have to be paid to much , I repeat myself for sound , spiritual, the BEST blend of voices
    THIS GROUP IS THE BEST OF ANY CURRENT OR PAST HE HAS EVER PUT TOGETHER ……….
    I’m in Rome Georgia

    By 2:25 I had to hit the like button because he truly has the Holy Spirit within him to do such things and that's worthwhile. "For He changed me completely, a new life is mine..."

      Oh good God yes!!!! So it wasn't just me that got the shivers. I am a vocalist. It is hard to make me go, "Wow" but as you say, at 2:25, game on. I was ready to cry.

    I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary
    I believe whatever the cost
    And when time has surrendered
    And earth is no more
    I'll still cling to the old rugged cross
    Oh, I believe, that this life
    With its great mysteries
    Surely one day will come
    To an end, oooh
    But faith will conquer
    The darkness and death
    And will lead me at last
    To my friend
    Oo-ooh
    I believe, that the Christ
    Who was slain, at the cross
    Has the power to change lives today
    For He changed me completely
    A new life is mine
    That is why by the cross
    I will stay
    I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary, oooh
    I believe whatever the cost
    And when, time has surrendered
    And earth is no more
    I'll still cling to the old rugged cross

      PAT YACOVACCI....HERE ARE THE WORDS TO THE SONG: " HE TOUCHED ME"...THE GAITHER VOCAL BAND.
      Shackled by a heavy burden,
      'neath a load of guilt and shame.
      Then the hand of Jesus touched me,
      And now I am no longer the same.
      He touched me, Oh, He touched me,
      and oh, the joy that floods my soul!
      Something happened and now I know,
      He touched me and made me whole.
      Since I met this blessed Savior,
      Since He cleansed and made me whole,
      I will never cease to praise Him,
      I'll shout it while eternity rolls.
      He touched me, oh, He touched me,
      And oh, the joy that floods my soul!
      Something happened and now I know
      He touched me and made me whole.
      These are the lyrics, Pat Yacovacci. Hope you get this, my friend!!!

    I cannot even imagine how many times I have listened to this song, maybe hundreds or more. But my biggest prayer is that these guys truly believe these words in their HEARTS as much as it sounds like in their singing. They are gloriously wonderful in their singing, but also do they live these words in their lives?

    I wrote Sweet Holy Spirit in late 1993. During the Holiday season that year I was separated from my husband. It was a difficult time for me to be alone and under attack spiritually at the same time. But praise God! Shawn returned home in early January and I had a spiritual breakthrough as well. The LORD never leaves His children alone!

    I play this video over and over! What an awesome group of singers. David Phelp's and Michael English what beautiful and strong voices they have. When English sings the word "today" and goes up the scale with his voice - well, i get the goose bumps!
