Any time I am scared or depressed or feel alone I turn to this group and they IGNITE the fire in my heart and renew my belief in My Lord And Saviour MAY GOD BLESS THEM
I love the song I'm so glad I was saved on January 9th of this year the lord has been so good to me I can't thank him enough for what he has done I may have sinned but the bible says we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God I'm so glad when the lord looks down on me he's not looking at the sin I've done he just sees if the blood is there for there is a song that says when he sees me he sees the blood of the lamb he sees me as Worthy and not as I am I thank him so much
First of all, not gay. Second of all, what's your issue? Just complimenting the group and you're coming at me. If you don't like them then why are you even on this video? Good Lord.
@@codyyates3437 Cody, I love this song but you told me that you hit the high notes when your taking it in your back door. I believe that would qualify you as gay.
Brian Free & Assurance, the Booth Brothers & the Ball Brothers also have beautiful harmony. I have never seen this group but just added this to my bucket list.
It's Billy Hodges and he is no longer with them. I miss him so much. He can't be replaced by anyone in my opinion. You can go to his web page to listen or purchase his music.
Arthur Rice, He Still can HAMMER A Song, BELTING IT OUT, Seems to Get Better w/AGE ! Billy Hodges Tenor, Reminds Me Jay Parrack & His Dad Johnny Parrack of the '70's KINGSMEN QUARTET !
Arthur Rice...what a Lead Singer! He was with The Kingsmen Quartet from 1984-1989. Tell ya what, though:I have no idea how he put up with Jim Hamill pickin' on him...night after night after night after night! I'm pretty sure that it was all in good fun, though. Jim Hamill was a Laff & A Half, though, so...I guess it is what it is...or was...or whatever. The Kingsmen Quartet sure had a load of fun up on-stage....Bless their hearts! Johnny Parrack was with The Kingsmen Quartet from 1971-Early 1977. After that, they picked up this little feller...by the name of Ernie Phillips. He was 5 Foot, 2 Inches tall. Weight? About 102 Pounds. They had to take a Boy's size Buster Brown Suit, and cut it down, just as far as it could be cut down, just to have a suit small enough to wear! (Well... according to Jim Hamill, who was quite a storyteller, and a supreme Jokester)! Good Ole Jim Hamill! He passed away in 2007, but his memory lives on, still!!!
We have never seen althrough history that a man could save himself Every work of man since the world began never kept one soul from Hell But God looked down in grace and love and met our greatest need By his own hand and his perfect plan we are free yes free indeed Chorus What we needed was a savior pure and sinless Dying for the wrong we've done What we needed was a holy sacrifice God's only begotten son When the world all around was bound for Hell All earthly hope was lost What we needed was the grace and mercy God provided on a rugged cross Verse 2 Many men have tried to be satisfied by the things this world affords They have placed their faith in another way and rejected Christ our Lord But the Father longs to reveal to them what they needed all along It is there to claim in Jesus' name at the cross sinstains is gone
This was the best combination of talent the Kingdom Heirs ever had! This was the combo of their 25th Anniversary cd. It is hard to find and expensive, but WELL WORTH IT!!! So sad that Steve is gone and Billy went elsewhere. This was the BEST sound the Kingdom Heirs ever had. RIP Steve. 😔
@@m.a.g3514 Here, in this clip, he was. He was with the group until around 2011 or so, then had to have throat surgery for nodules on his vocal chords. That happens sometimes, with people who sing tenor. After that, Jerry A. Martin joined the group at the tenor slot until about 2020 or 2021. He's been replaced by another tenor singer, but I'm not sure what his name is. He sounds really good, so this should be an exciting time for him.

Is Jeff Chapman the king of holding a bass note so rich and clear and he is the best an also also he does voice impressions and also he guy with the glasses he sounds like a fur when he sings which is amazing amen brothers 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
P. S.-With attitudes that some Southern Gospel music vocal and band members have, is it any wonder that at least some groups have such a high turnover rate, when it comes down to the membership of some groups? The Kingsmen, for example, have had one of the highest numbers of past and present members that I've ever seen! I love the Kingsmen, but I cannot believe how many people they've had in their group over the years. What's going on here??? Triumphant Quartet, on the other hand, has only had 1 line-up change since their inception, and that was when Jeff Stice left back a few years ago. The Collingsworth family? Yet another fine example of group stability. They live, by all accounts and appearances, good, Godly lives. I've seen, however, so many groups that look like, and act like, the world, that it's simply NOT to be believed!! Give me Triumphant Quartet and the Collingsworth family any day!
Howard Sterns Tradio prank calls brought me here. I never would have discovered this side of america being stuck in my west coast bubble. Beautiful Harmony and super catchy tune. Is it bad to be agnostic but sing along with these guys? I'm hooked.
Johnny look up some of the Bill Gaither music. It's awesome. I too live out here but found this music thru the Gaither stuff. Everyone should believe in something, it's just you believe in this type of music.
John Nelson Amen, brother! Also, @ 3:23, he hits, again. HTC phones have an earphone option called "HTC boom sound" or something similar. When this option is activated you can really hear him well. However, it's difficult to get the full "chill bump" affect w/out it. Thank You, Jesus, for talent like this & people that'll share it, in Your Holy Name. We love you, Lord.
I’d love to see everyone at the marriage supper of the lamb and not in a sinners’ hell where they'll be putting their nails into the charred walls of the damned.
I’d like to do some shout outs….. shout outs here to Andre, Vivi…his lovely mom Vivian, Lakesha Barnes out in Tarboro No’Carolinaaaaa the great Ken-a-HOkiaa. Alana Grace Francia in Reno Nevaddy. Tom Hoffman and his little dog Emberrrrr in Chantilly Virginia
LoudApple at around 4:54 he points to the the piano player and he sings the note and Then you hear Steve join in, the piano player sings baritone as well so they doubled up on the ending notes sometimes
Yes Unfortunately he is. Billy suffered vocal cord issues if I remember correctly. Their current tenner singer is Jerry Martin. Last I knew Billy Hodges was performing at Dollywood in the chapel but I would have to verify that
@@rescue15cmsAnd now, here we are in 2023, with none of these Gentlemen singing in The Kingdom Heirs anymore. Jerry A. Martin, the Tenor, left in 2021, & was replaced by Jacob Ellison, and then, earlier this year, Jacob left. Not sure who took his spot at Tenor. Arthur Rice left in 2022, and is, from what I hear, directing Music at a Church in, I think, here in Virginia. Loren Harris, upon Arthur's departure, took over the Lead Singer spot. Andy Stringfield, the Piano Player, was thankfully given the God-Given Talent to be able to both play the Piano, and sing Baritone at the same time, soo...no problem there. I've forgotten who the new Bass Singer is, but from what I hear, he's really good. That's the latest update that I personally have, concerning The Kingdom Heirs.
This is a great rendition of this song but I don’t understand why the tenor finds it necessary to sing through his nose like a cartoon character when he solos. Dude, just sing with your voice…other than that it is a great song!

Any time I am scared or depressed or feel alone I turn to this group and they IGNITE the fire in my heart and renew my belief in My Lord And Saviour MAY GOD BLESS THEM
Me too! Amen!
I'm glad. You should tell them that if you get a chance.
Who knew a Tradio prank call compilation would lead to finding this gem of a song
Man that is one high tennor
Amen and amen! That's how you sing Southern Gospel Music! What a performance!
I keep coming back to this song! This performance and words of the song are one of the greatest songs I've ever heard!
I love the song I'm so glad I was saved on January 9th of this year the lord has been so good to me I can't thank him enough for what he has done I may have sinned but the bible says we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God I'm so glad when the lord looks down on me he's not looking at the sin I've done he just sees if the blood is there for there is a song that says when he sees me he sees the blood of the lamb he sees me as Worthy and not as I am I thank him so much
Miss Billy so much! You can see, hear, and feel the excitement and love of God when they preform.
My name is Shannon Keller and I love the songs and the way you. My favorite is forever changed!
I never get tired of listening to this song.
Best I've heard them do!! Didn't realize Billy could go that high.
Personally I think that this is the best group that I've ever heard
Thats because your gay.

2021. I REALLY LOVE THIS POWERFUL GOSPEL SONG !!! AMAZING !!!

Love this song and loved the ending they nailed it. They blend so well together.
We have never seen althrough history that a man could save himself
Every work of man since the world began never kept one soul from Hell
But God looked down in grace and love and met our greatest need
By his own hand and his perfect plan we are free yes free indeed
Chorus
What we needed was a savior pure and sinless
Dying for the wrong we've done
What we needed was a holy sacrifice
God's only begotten son
When the world all around was bound for Hell
All earthly hope was lost
What we needed was the grace and mercy God provided on a rugged cross
Verse 2
Many men have tried to be satisfied by the things this world affords
They have placed their faith in another way and rejected Christ our Lord
But the Father longs to reveal to them what they needed all along
It is there to claim in Jesus' name at the cross sinstains is gone

Absolutely love this song and as always with the Kingdom Heirs amazing harmonies !
and just in case someone is wondering: having fun and putting on a great show is not carnal, the message is what counts
The baritone in this song is so underrated!
What's the little squeler's Name???
@@marycox4970 I believe it is Billy Hodges.
Is Jeff Chapman the king of holding a bass note so rich and clear and he is the best an also also he does voice impressions and also he guy with the glasses he sounds like a fur when he sings which is amazing amen brothers 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
Hard to believe that Jeff Chapman left The Kingdom Heirs, and is now singing Bass with Gold City. This has just transpired within the past 2-3 months.
This is harmony... Amazing group!
To God Be The Glory. Keep praising and lifting me up in your faith. I Love You Jesus!!!!!!!

But man the high tenor sings so high holy crap
words can not express the talent and blessings that this group puts out there

Glory to God . God bless you!!!!!
I LOVE THESE GUYS!
Love it and love Billy Hodges singing tenor!
love this song.
Yes............God is the Provider! Amen....!

Is this the greatest song this group has ever done, or what?

Do a search on TH-cam for Howard Stern Tradio calls. Theres about 30 of them. Don't remember which one had this tune.
And sounds so good
