Verse:
There's so much in my heart
that I wanna say dear Lord.
There's so much You are
and so much You've done.
I wanna get some help from You, Lord,
in my heart I wanna to try to relate it tonight,
and please forgive me Lord if I start to cry.

(I've got to) tell You how I love You, Jesus,
tell You how I worship and adore You, Master.
Teach me how to honor Thee,
with my whole heart,
I will bless You, Precious Lord.

Ending:
With my whole heart,
I will bless You, Precious Lord.
Diedra Clarke this was very helpful, thank you
Thank you for sharing 😀
What a powerful, powerful song 💥
Every time I say “With my whole heart “. I think of this song. Thank you Holy Spirit.
This is the type of song you knew who they were singing about.
This is an 'oldie but goodie' that will NEVER be outdated. It is an anointed and powerful worship song and it has blessed me down through the years!! Praise God!!
THIS WHOLE ALBUM NEEDS TO BE RE-RELEASED ONTO CD. IT IS SO POWERFUL.
This was a great seminar session! The anointing was so great that evening in Houston, TX. Thomas Whitfield led us in worship until the shekina glory filled the room as the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit was allowed to have full control. Bishop Walter Hawkins put his signature on this classic that evening as well. PRICELESS.
I was there
I always that this recording was at Howard’s Cramton Auditorium, in DC.
One of my favorite songs of all time. As others have said, this takes me back so many years. I wish writers would seek the Lord for songs with meaning, and an anointing. And that choirs would just sing them instead of doing all these vocal gymnastics. The people want, no, need to be ushered into worship, and not entertained. At least that's my opinion.
I was a child the first time that I heard this song, and now I am of age, it's just a blessing to reflect back til now of how Awesome My God Truly Is. Am making a playlist of all my 70's and 80's gospel.
I remember listening to this album in my home growing up as a child before I could ever play a note. For some reason Thomas Whitfield's music and Edwin Hawkin's music really captivated me.
Years have come and gone and God gave me the gift to play the organ over 20 years ago. I now understand what was so special about this record. Such a classic and so inspiring even as I type. Thank you Lord for the gifts you give.
Thomas Whitfield was playing chords ahead of his time...e.g. the "I'm Encouraged (Reprise)". Holy of Holies stuff!
Yes!! Minister Maestro of Praise.
I love this song! It never gets old.
I had one of the best times of my life recording this album in Houston. Every rehearsal and the final performance was filled with Holy Spirit. These songs ministered not only to the congregation, but also the choir members. We had a beautiful time in the Lord.
I too sung in the choir on this recording in Houston. Alto section! Powerful song and a blessing to me then and now. A classic!
I was there also. Alto section
How many people where in this choir 🤔 😁
Love this Song Minister Thomas Whitfield❤
Two gospel music giants. Thomas & Walter. Awesome song!!!
Gotta put Edwin up in there! 2 Apples from the same tree!!
The GOATs...Thomas Whitfield, Edwin and Walter Hawkins!!
This brings back too many memories, especially as a young pianist playing these songs for many choirs. EVERY SONG on this album/CD stood (and STILL stands) on their individual own as classic pieces of timeless and ageless ministry...
Where is this kind of music these days? I remember this song. I remember how it ushered you into the presence of the Lord. I challenge the saints to fast and pray. We need the Word of God and we need to bring back this type of singing! May God forever Bless the Hawkins Family! RIP Walter and Edwin.
Who's here in December 2020 with their whole heart blessing the Lord!
January 2022!!!! With MY whole heart!!
These songs were a major support system for me when I was going through the worst trials of my life. I listened this song every single day and by doing that I could feel the Lord's presence with in and in me ... and I made it through all the bad and entered into a brand new life in Christ, in Love and Truth.
Beautiful songs to calm down your spirit
Amen. A man whose music was so ahead of his time.
Now this is gospel. This was waaaaayyyyyyy ahead of its time. Thanks for this posting. I really needed it.
I love this song! I love you Love Lord!!!
This song was good with Thomas but Walter just took it to another level that man was so awesome RIP to both legends of music

I remember first hearing this song on the album. Another tear-jerker. I played it over and over and over and over again. It touched me back then, and it yet touches me today.
I open my heart
A choir I sang on years ago used to sing this and I never knew where the song came from. I am so glad to have found it.
April, 2021
STILL...This song reaches down to the bottom of my heart; pulls up memories of the countless instances in which I have needed The Lord and He has always been right there, holding my hand, guiding me thru, making a way, rescuing me, lifting me up, healing me, delivering me. How can I not Love Him? I BLESS His Holy Name with my Whole Heart❣️
Got through so much so many dark days with this worship the power of God is all over this song fron the writers to the singers to the musicians so powerful words music everything was blessed anointed

Yes, I was in this choir as well, but I was 16yrs old and was singing alto at the time...time! I still go to the Music & Arts Seminar...there is/has always been some great songs birthed from the writers every year. They cam eback to Houston 20yrs later June 2006....the recording was another great accomplishment for the seminar. But nothing like the old ones like this song. :)

Yes it was! I remember every single song on that album! I had the 78 lp! Side 1--1) I Need You, 2) My Trust Lies In You, 3) He Made A Way for Me, 4) With My Whole Heart. Side 2--5) He Won't Ever Let You Down, 6) Jesus Lives in Me, 7) Spirit Fall Fresh On Me, 8) Give Us Peace. I remember my choir and I performed songs #4, 5, 6, AND 7 for Sunday morning. Those were the days!

My God I miss the Maestro Thomas Whitfield. Back in the day I wasn't aware of the contributions of Rev. James Moore until I saw him at Dr. Jeff Jacobs' Workshop in Annapolis, MD in the early 80's. I loved that man ever since. These men of God have left us many awesome memories!!! Thank you thegospelfillup.
I praise my Heavenly Father with this song everyday
Still anointed, still relevant
I looooooooooooove this song!
my whole heart I gave to my savior and my God!- for life and forever!- with all my love for them!
This song kept me "Sane" through some rough times in the late '80s.
What a blessing to hear again! Thanks for uploading! Be Blessed!
Classic back in the days! All this stuff should available!
My dad still has this album. This is what I grew up to!

Powerful and anointed. Rest in Heaven Edwin Hawkins.

Great song.
Two Legends! Thank you for ministering through song!
I am about to lose my mind! I have been looking for this song for years. Thank you so much for posting this gospel masterpiece.
Now this oldie will or should be something most of you my age remember... CHK IT OUT!
I love this one...we will be singing this song on Sunday...I can't wait!
Man hearing this song again brought me to tears, I wish iTunes was in tune with what to place on their site.
this was the last song Betrum Brown taught the Transfiguration Baptist Church youth choir, just before he went home to be with the lord. we will always miss and love Betrum . until we meet in Glory
Love this album.. a classic.. Thomas Whitfield was a phenomenal writer, producer, singer and organist.. So many got their start with Edwin Hawkins Music and Arts.. Daryl Coley, Yolanda Adams, John P Kee, Lawrence Matthews, etc.. Bishop James Morton's choir(ATL) also remade this song and it was nice, but I love this one the best.
Yes this is my song..
Real music.
Love this!! This album is the bizness. Choirs don't sing like this anymore
This is the bomb!!!! Love it!!!
I have this album on cd. I found someone who had the album and they put on a cd for me. This is a wonderful album.
What a voice!!!
still brings me to tears... beautiful! Thank you for posting.
bring backs alot of memories
Edwin and Thomas bless my soul
Beautiful songs to calm down your spirit n
recorded in Houston Tx . still sounds so beautiful.
This is my SONG!!!!
One of my favs, where in ST. Louis is there a church that worships God like this? Im looking for a church home.
I'M WITH YOU CHRISTINE ON THIS ONE!!
I had to use music software to extract this song off youtube and I have been wearing it out ever since. I wouldn't mind a copy of this at all. I'm even considering teaching this to my choir in the fall.
