Millennial here, but my mom loves Walter Hawkins. I listened to this song so much as a child; now, singing tenor in my church choir, I sing their part loud (and in tune)! I love the soloists’ energy. This song gets me through some tough days! “Hallelujah” is my favorite vamp.
I seen this video and started crying, I was 17 yrs.old when we sung this song at my Church and I'm 51 today, I remember we had CHURCH back then.....😭😭🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃Thank you Jesus...
I feel you. I'm in my late 30s and had the same reactions to many of Walter Hawkins songs. Eventhough I was a young child it's engrained in my memories.
It seems like Walter Hawkins had a choir and band full of people that are exceptionally talented in their own right. They all really get into it and make you feel the songs.
I am not going to wait until the battle is over to rejoice in the Lord, I'm gonna shout now. Hallelujah Thankyou Jesus You brought me through by your precious blood and by your divine grace and power 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I love to play the tambourine, but this man wins the prize. They don't even make tambourines like that any more. I remember that kind. I had to look at this again.
And her face never really moved!🤣 You know the scrunched up look singers get when they are giving it all they got?🤣 Which makes me think she has much more inside that would really show us what she has!
Saw Walter Hawkins and the Hawkins Family at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles and they were incredible!!! I’ve watched the video of Walter and Donnie McKlurkin singing “ Thank You “ a million times ❤❤❤❤❤
This brought back so many memories of my childhood and my mother. I promised I watched it like 10 times in a row and had my own personal praise service. Thanks for the upload
I know I'm only 37, but my mom loves Walter Hawkins and I've always gravitated to this song. I also have diagnosed brain cancer. Stage 3. I have faith that God will keep me, but if He decides to take me home, I want this played at my homegoing. Especially the part where she sings "why should I wait? I'm gonna praise Him right now."
Hi Jocelyn, I'm sorry to hear about your illness. I pray for you to have the support - love, strength, and hope during these heavy trials. God will take care of you. Lots of love and greetings, Esther
I remember this song as a little boy growing up and our choir used to sing this song!!! Brings back so many great memories. And I still can't believe that voice that's in the lady in the gray! Strong, powerful,anointed and God lead! Still listening 2021!
@Lawanda Scroggins I so wanted to sing like you when I was a teenager, you have an anointed voice. Although Pat & Dennis entrusted me to lead this song at Macedonia. (San Mateo) in the early 80s, I could never sing quite like you. You can't duplicate perfection!
The day this was filmed is the birthday of my favorite cousin Erikk AKA Khan! He is an Horus, so this is fitting. It's weird seeing your family woven in the fabric of time.
Don? t wait? till the battle is over to shout now, You know in the end, you? re gonna win. (Repeat) When you? re burdened down with the cares of life And you feel all hope is gone. Don? t despair, God will be right there; When the battle is over? When the battle is over (3x), We? re going home. When the tears are streaming down And there? s no one around, And your striving seems in vain. Hold your head up high, your deliverence is nigh?; When the battle is over? Hallelujah (5x)
The GREAT Joel Smith! One of the most influential and pivotal drummers in Gospel music history! Is he the Jameson of drums in regards to the modern sound
@@noriekamccoy679 You are funny, 2nd wife!! He's been married only once, to the one and only Tremaine Hawkins. Rev Carole King his cousin, I think, but certainly not his wife.
What we're talking about is you have to have the true feeling of the Holy Ghost! You can't be feeling the music🎶! Nor can you be feeling yourself! You have to have the true feeling of the Holy Ghost! The finger of God👊! I can't turn back!👊 Who'll be a Witness! I'll be a Witness for Jesus my Lord!👊 Amen. It ain't about the music🎶. Sing under the Anointing's of God! But they don't know that the Holy Ghost isn't any Comedy. Either. Praise ye the Lord with your whole heart with a Sincere heart! I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, mind and Soul. For what shall a man give in Exchange for his own Soul! Amen. Found in Ephesians 6 -Ye must speak the word of God with boldness!👊 Found in Ephesians 6 -We wrestle against spiritual wickedness!
Had to come back and hear this! I play tambourines, but Lord he is the hare and I am the tortoise! Ha! Praise Him brother! I wish they made tambourines like that now. He is just not "killin" it. That tambourine is resurrected! Hey!
Yes the battle will over yes thank you MY father GOD please I am trying to hold on unitl my battle is over I'm going thour jesus please answer my prayers Jesus please please please Amen 😔
Still listening in 2024! Praise the Lord!

Yes! I started crying as well. Reminded me of our youth choir in church!!!
You and me both!! I miss those days
I feel you. I'm in my late 30s and had the same reactions to many of Walter Hawkins songs. Eventhough I was a young child it's engrained in my memories.
You don't need a church to feel the love. ❤
The songs had meaning. Good old days
God gave me this song today while in church -in 2024!
I was today years old when I learned there's 2 leads on this song! 🤯 This brings back all the memories and the feels from childhood
Bv vvbhvbh b😅v
😮 I was today years old when I found out! And I sing lead on this song and have listened to this video plenty of times! Lol
😮I thought it was one soloist! All this time 😂
Me too! I thought it was one person until I watched this video.
Me too...on 7.26.2024!!! I was wondering why two people were walking up.
They are killing it on the drums, organ and tambourine. Classic gospel music 🎶
Yes they are but I think it would've been better with a keyboard/piano and a lead guitar
The Great Joel Smith on drums
Ok...I play the tambourine in my church....but this dude is KILLING IT!!!
Issss!!!
Yes 🙌🏽 he is💯💯💯🙌🏽
Yes, he's killing it, but it's right in the microphone.
Ftty nyang na di kawasan Afrika barat tutô ytytyyt nyang na di kawasan Afrika barat ngon tunong jih na di kawasan Afrika
@theawesomedee Yes and he never passed it to anyone else. Wow!! What a gift.
I mean, I THOUGHT I could play the tambourine but clearly I have no idea what I'm doing. You did that sir lol. Love this concert 🙌🏾
Right!! I am just making a joyful noise at this point! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Oh
He is KILLIN that tambourine! #playitsir
Say it again! He is!
Yes
Sits in the mix pretty well too, idk how they record tambourine so well in these huge spaces.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Pro tip : you can watch series at InstaFlixxer. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
I miss this. So many memories. Rest on Bishop Hawkins. You were legend and you still are.

I first heard about the Hawkins family when I was 16 years old. And still, enjoy the praise music.
Walter Hawkins playing the organ and Joel Smith on drums - awesome
Yes, yes! Iconic intro, so anointed, gets you right into the spirit of praise! Love it!
Jaz Jr. was straight getting it in...... music!!!!!
Bass player had that turbo on. Does anyone know who he is?
It would’ve been better with a lead guitar and a piano
@@drumbangerproduction Jimmie Nueble
This song has been in my spirit for the past few days and I was happy to hear it. Loved me some Walter Hawkins!!!
I love to play the tambourine, but this man wins the prize. They don't even make tambourines like that any more. I remember that kind. I had to look at this again.
homeboy KILLED that tambourine 😂💥💥
Both of the soloists are putting it out. They are both strong voices
the woman in the grey wow her voice was so powerful from looking at her I wasn't expecting that
Carvis Bigone I thought the same thing
Rev. Carol King
And her face never really moved!🤣 You know the scrunched up look singers get when they are giving it all they got?🤣 Which makes me think she has much more inside that would really show us what she has!
Lawanda Scroggins and Carol King!
Yessss!!
Brings back memories. I'm thankful that my momma was a Christian and not ghetto

Walter Hawkins is PLAYING Baby!!!
I remember growing up in a Baptist church and the choir singing this song. They use to have me crying as a kid because I felt every lyric.
I know I'm only 37, but my mom loves Walter Hawkins and I've always gravitated to this song. I also have diagnosed brain cancer. Stage 3. I have faith that God will keep me, but if He decides to take me home, I want this played at my homegoing. Especially the part where she sings "why should I wait? I'm gonna praise Him right now."

Praying Sister!! There is POWER in the BLOOD!!!!! Blessings
Prayers for your healing and restoration of health.
I remember this song as a little boy growing up and our choir used to sing this song!!! Brings back so many great memories. And I still can't believe that voice that's in the lady in the gray! Strong, powerful,anointed and God lead! Still listening 2021!
I love this song. I sang this song in the 1980's in our choir.

Don? t wait? till the battle is over to shout now,

And you feel all hope is gone.
Don? t despair, God will be right there;

When the battle is over (3x),

Hallelujah (5x)
Giving him praise!
RIP Edwin Hawkins

The lady singing in the gray reminds me of Florence from 227. Sing choir. 🙌
My childhood 🙋🏾♀️🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾
Awesome voices 👏
The GREAT Joel Smith! One of the most influential and pivotal drummers in Gospel music history! Is he the Jameson of drums in regards to the modern sound
This song is a strong manifestation tool
🔥💥🗡️The Battle Is Over , Shout Now 💃🏿♥️🙏🏿Love
Brotha with the tambourine cannot be stopped
True Classic...🌹
I miss Bishiop Walter Hawkins and Edwin Hawkins
When the Battle is Over!🙌🏾
We’re going home! HALLELUJAH!!!
The first lead singer reminds me of Florence from the Jeffersons 😊
Is she his wife? 2nd wife? Because her and Walter Hawkins are the only one's dressed in grey, only pastor's and their wives do that.
@@noriekamccoy679 You are funny, 2nd wife!! He's been married only once, to the one and only Tremaine Hawkins. Rev Carole King his cousin, I think, but certainly not his wife.
What we're talking about is you have to have the true feeling of the Holy Ghost!
You can't be feeling the music🎶!
Nor can you be feeling yourself!
You have to have the true feeling of the Holy Ghost!
The finger of God👊!
I can't turn back!👊
Who'll be a Witness! I'll be a Witness for Jesus my Lord!👊
Amen. It ain't about the music🎶.
Sing under the Anointing's of God!
But they don't know that the Holy Ghost isn't any Comedy. Either.
Praise ye the Lord with your whole heart with a Sincere heart!
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, mind and Soul.
For what shall a man give in Exchange for his own Soul!
Amen. Found in Ephesians 6 -Ye must speak the word of God with boldness!👊
Found in Ephesians 6 -We wrestle against spiritual wickedness!
YEAH!!!! ❤❤❤❤Alleluia.
Ty for the help and I love you and I hope you have a great day and I love you and hope you have a great day and have a great
HALLELUJAH!
Congratulations 🎉
One of my favs!!!! 🙌
Had to come back and hear this! I play tambourines, but Lord he is the hare and I am the tortoise! Ha!

Rev Carole King
You can distinguish Holiness back then. There's a big difference from then and now.
Hallelujah!
