Frank Williams was just a pure singer. He didn't have to try to do a lot for people to feel him in the music. He was anointed for real. Love his music.
Let's bring this back. It is our tradition. It is our heritage. It is our history. It is who we are!
Amen Pastor. Gloria ivory
I agree. I think this BLM movement is trying to destroy it but these were the songs that brought us over that kept us from reacting the way our enemies want us to.
After 25 years of drug use, ....................This song brought tears to my eyes, that I need to keep near to the cross. Going on six years clean..................Keep me in your devotions, Fam.
That's great. Will definitely keep you in prayer
I work at a psychiatric hospital as a part of the treatment team (very interesting job) and I have a client who introduced this song to me. he had me play it 6 times today...he kept saying that God loves his despite his illnesses that really touched my heart...
Vee Patriots#5 Yes indeed... Jesus Heal the land for your glory!
WHITE boy from Mississippi here. Wow, we missed so much in our lack of fellowship with one another. The organ and piano here is awesome and this choir is unmatched. I'm so glad I learned to listen and visit with these wonderful people. It changed my life.
The Mississippi Mass Choir was SO ahead of their time !!!
Listen to the musicians....Those guys are playing SO skillfully !!!
God loves Excellence !!!
This song surely blessed the Lord Christ Jesus !!!!
Frank was the man!! You get chills when you listen to him because he sings from the soul. That's what you call good gospel singing!!!
What Do You Mean By 'WAS'?
Did He Pass Away?
+LaShawn D Moore...Frank died in 1993...
I love traditional gospel singing and Mississippi Mass is one of the best
Rest beyond the river!!!
He'll give me wonderful rest
He'll give me sanctified rest
He'll give me glorious rest
He'll give me everlasting rest
Rest He'll give me rest
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me-watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:28-30 MSG

We the church need these choirs to show up in the house of God again n this 2014.
Yes!!!!
Yes, amen!!!
Yes we do
Yes God!!!!!
The memories this brings be back are simply amazing. I remember as a little kid riding in the back of the family car on a sunday morning going to bethesda tabernacle apostolic church with this blaring through the speakers. These songs form the bases of TRUE gospel music and salvation. It ashame what the GOSPEL industry has downgraded to. But thank thanks be to God for songs like this these that can take you back to the cross and allows you to ponder on God and who he really is the lion and lamb.
This is REAL GOSPEL!!!!!!!!!!!
For all of you who look at what he had, remember what the Lord did through him. He was a great instrument for God and he gave all to Him even up to the day he died. Never look at the sickness, look at what the Lord has established through one of His children. Love you brother Williams and I pray that I get to see you sing in Heaven.
R.I.P to Frank Williams..Was my moms fav singer period and now my mom is in heaven wit him....I love is voice and i have always love tha mississippi mass choir.....
Keep me Lord my heart is so heavy right now🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It is times like these that we need to hear anointed, powerful, blessed vocalist like the late Frank Williams, James Moore and others who have already gone on to be with the Lord! Hallelujah!! It's so good to hear these old but wonderful anointed songs. God bless them. I feel the anointing.........
God rest his soul. This man had such a beautiful voice.
Singing from your soul and just singing is two different things. To God be the Glory!!!
That's a Mississippi boy singing in the Heavenly choir. I miss this old school gospel.
MY name IS OLIVIA GRIFFIN EVERY TIME I HERE THIS SONG THE WORDS JUST RUN THROUGH MY SONG.MY MOTHER PAST 2013 YRS THE LORD IS GIVING HER WONDERFUL REST Amen

Bro. Frank Williams and sister Angela Curry has some of the best Voices I've ever heard.
Frank used to tear this song up. I still think his "Your Grace & Mercy" was still tops.
Frank brings chills out of me with this song. To God be the GLORY!!!
I remember listening to this song on my way to church every Sunday as a young man.

jesus said come unto to me all that labour and i will give you rest .THANK YOU LORD THANK U JESUS
I love the mississippi mass choir and frank williams. This takes me back to my childhood and going to church with the whole family. I have burned a whole CD of good gospel songs and this song, "your grace and mercy" and "Having you there" are my favorites. Love old gospel. New gospel has nothing on this kind of gospel. You can keep your dancing and rapping gospel, I will take this!!
Jesus it's my goal to be in a relationship with you and to live my life for you . I love you Jesus
I love it too. wonder what song made David dance out of his clothes?
If this song doesn't move you you may want to check your pulse because you may be dead. I love this song and the way Frank Williams and this choir sings it. I hope all of you enjoys it as much as I do. God bless all of you....
The Lord had to be in this recording session. The perfection of the recording and message therein is outstanding. This is one of my all time favorites.
i love the way he just stands there and sing it with his heart and soul. I love the lord
This is one of my all time most favorite songs. I absolutely love this song. I used to pray to this song. Anytime I was going thru I would sing the words to this song. I eventually song this in church. And I must say that even to me that's the best God has allowed me to sing. That was when I was about 30, now I am 46 and God still moves me when I hear this song. I don't sing too much anymore but I will be singing this song in church pretty soon.God truely moves.
At age 11, we buried my mother to this song. It will always be dear to my heart!!!
Hearing Frank Williams is music to my ears. He just left here so early but he did leave a legacy!
I love this song. It has given me so much joy for so many years. Oh I wish I would have met Frank Williams. What a wonderful voice and spirit he had.
Near the Cross....beautiful and enlightening! Amen Thank you Jesus!
This is one of my favorite songs from the MMC, when I was 19 y/o I lost my mom and the choir song this song as they carried her casket out of the church. It reminds me of my mom resting in peace, and my grandmother whom I lost at the age of 25. I cry every time I hear it, with joy in my heart knowing that they are at resting at peace and knowing that makes it well with my soul,
Keep us near the cross, this is where we need to be today. We need Him more and more each day. Praise His Name!
He looks so handsome singing this song and his voice oh God he was awesome and he was also a wonderful person to get to know he was a Man of God as well as a family man and He will never be forgotten we love you Frank and rest in peace
Be my glory evaaaaaa... till my rupture soul should find rest the river🙏🙏🙏 my grandmother played these cds my whole child hood god bless her soul. He gave her wonderful rest💓💓💓 Rip Louise Hennings 💓💓💓
YES!!! Love this song! Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Thank you Jesus!
I absolutely love this choir, have been a true blessing and the holy spirit is moving & taking control that's why they sound so angelic.. absolutely phenomenal!!!!
This takes me back to the early 70s when a large & beautiful black Gospel choir performed for us at a Middle School assembly in my integrated, but mostly white school - and changed my life forever. I was sitting next to Geoffrey Fox (you remember?). I was carried away....and I have loved Gospel music ever since. It is my church.
I have to hear this song all the time!!! AMEN
I LOVE MY PEOPLE MAY GOD BLESS US TO RETURN TO HIM IN THIS HOUR
Gospel isnt the same now a days thank god for this right here!!!
God I am so alone, no one. Never had love in my life and I keep pulling near the cross and given my all to YOU. THANKS for this heartfelt song. Bought me to my knees...😔😢💯📿
Such an inspirational song!
These songs always remind me of my grandmother always brings me closer to her..because whenever I draw closer to the Lord I know that she is with him..
This is an old but goodie
Wow...I still love this song. I'm glad to have been born in this era of gospel songs that STILL mean something.
my God frank and the sister sing this song so heavinly. i've heard this song years ago on tape,but to see them on video singing it is something truly special. bro. frank was a gifted and anoited man of God and seeing him sing here is definitely the iceing on the cake. this mississippi mass choir has had some good singers come from it. thanks for posting this wonderful man of God . peace out
what a classic. this song to this very day is so full of the love of God. frank's music is still changing lives still,so many years after his home going. Rest my brother.
Near the Cross by the Mississippi Mass Choir really inspires me. Listen to it, and see if it doesn't do the same for you.

This is real gospel music that ministers to the soul. It's good to go back to the roots.
I love the legendary Frank Williams, when gospel music lost this brother, it was great lost. I love everything he sings, he was in league all by himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P.
When you are going through these are the type of songs that help you maintain. Thank you Jesus.
I don't think I've ever heard this song more beautifully done. It is so appropriate for this Holy Week celebration of the Resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Praise God for Jesus.
I just finished listening to this song. I could hardly keep my composure at work. I literally almost fell out at my desk. All waterworks were running down my face. This is my favorite song from Mississippi Mass. I want to see Jesus so desperately. Only 26 but he is presence is overwhelming in my soul. Best part is at the end with the drum. Tears me apart.
Lord that man could sang!! Halleujah! I got goose bumps at work. Whoo the Lord is soo good! Thank you Jesus!!
One of these days we will find rest, can you hear the Lord thru this song calling us to His rest. Thank you Lord.
Frank Williams rendition of "In the Cross" is above and beyond others I've heard. A total masterpiece, sung from the heart, straight to Heaven...with Angela Curry flying the jet and parking it on the streets of Gold. Frank was strong and in top form as he belted out this Spiritual. One day, we will hear him sing again!!
Glory to God! with tear stained eyes all i can say is "Thank You Jesus!"
YES I NEEDED THIS TODAY, GOING THRU SOMETHING, BUT MY GOD WILL SEE ME THRU IT BY AND BY! THANK YOU LORD FOR MY VICTORY IN CHRIST JESUS.
Hallelujah, thank you Jesus. I'm enjoying the music July 20 2024🙏❤️
I have loved this song since i was about 10 yrs old, I am now 36 and it still gives me chills. This is my favorite gospel song ever. Thanks for posting the video.
I want this song played at my funeral because it will not be sad but it will be a mighty homegoing!!!!!
