2024 and this still takes me to the throne. I was there, it was the first time that I allowed myself to worshio publicly without caring who was watching.
Who's here in July 2024? Yes, it pays every step of the way to serve Jesus. Hit by car Fall hit head on concrete Fall and disclocate shoulder Satan took away great grandchildren Smh, the half has never been told. 😢 But God is still on His Throne. Hallujah!!!!!
Laying here in bed and through the storms and trials going in in my life and my family one funeral of the young wife then her husband died that night now another service on Saturday but I'm here ti say it pays to serve Jesus no matter what continuous prayers for everyone hold on don't let go no matter what the payment from Jesus is the ultimate reward
What a lovely moment to listen to another song in queue by the Aeolians and then realize I recognize the soloist (from the DMV area) Minister Paul Heflin! His voice still soars with the anointing 🥰🥹
They are praising God for what He has done in the lives of choir members and also in their lives. When the Aeolians sing anywhere, their intent is witnessing for Jesus. Their voices are used to bless others. God Bless
Wonderful , beautiful , excellent , extraordinary performance and the name of Jesus Christ ! ! ! Only words cannot express the joy that song brings to me today. Hallelujah praise the Lord Jesus Amen ! Amen ! and Amen ! ! !
I couldn’t put my finger on it but Whitney Houston’s influence is every evident in his own style. Riff for riff, vocal colouring. He is male Whitney Houston. Amazing!
Hallelujah For the brothers gift of singing! Hallelujah for the choir, their musical director and the orchestra. Hallelujah for my Pentecostal brothers and Sisters. I love them. I am Seventh Day Adventist! Can't wait to dance and shout Hallelujah with my brothers and sisters of all faith who have been washed in the blood of the lamb. Hallelujah!
I MAGNIFY THE LORD And His praise shall continually be in my mouth. This powerful man of God has done it times and times again....AAMEN! I've depended on ' It pays to serve JESUS" day after fast, night after night; Hour after hour abs minutes ager minutes...AAMEN!! May The Only Wise true and living God caused hid Banner to be always over this faithful servant and caused him to rise from strength t o s trength and glory to glory abs an abundant faith.
October of 2022 and our world is in perilous times. Yet, we have a loving Savior, Jesus who keeps us in perfect peace. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!!! Amen.
Our pastor played this video during New Years Eve communion service & it was powerful! God bless this choir & the brother who was used by the Holy Spirit to minister through the lead of this song. What a way to start the New Year!!!
OMG the choir and the Anointed Gentlemen that led this song touch my SOUL lord Jesus this is Absolutely beautiful!!!!! Wow I am just filled it pays to serve Jesus!!!!
This young man sang at my church, Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Sunday (September 21) for Homecoming. He has aged like fine wine. His voice is still as powerful three years later. Phenomenal talent.
Moments like this define my oakwood experience. I've gained some once in a lifetime blessings, singing with this choir. So blessed to have been a part of the ministry in this video
This is why the Adventist African American churches worship is soo wonderful because when we start Praise and Worship it is so hard to quench the joy and happiness! Happy Sabbath everyone!
1 It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart; He’ll always be with us, if we do our part; There’s naught in this wide world can pleasure afford, There’s peace and contentment in serving the Lord. Refrain: I love Him far better than in days of yore, I’ll serve Him more truly than ever before; I’ll do as He bids me, whatever the cost, I’ll be a true soldier - I’ll die at my post. 2 And oft when I’m tempted to turn from the track, I think of my Savior - my mind wanders back To the place where they nailed Him on Calvary’s tree- I hear a voice saying, I suffered for thee. [Refrain] 3 There’s a place that remembrance still brings back to me, ’Twas there I found pardon - ’twas Heaven to me; There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul, My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole. [Refrain] 4 How rich is the blessing the world cannot give, I’m satisfied fully for Jesus to live; Tho’ friends may forsake me, and trials arise, I’m trusting in Jesus, His love never dies. [Refrain]
This is not a show. We should thank God for endowing this young man with such a magnificent voice. The choir was outstanding. God did not commission us to critique these singers. Every idle word will be judged. Be careful what you say. God may be well-pleased with the entire rendition. Examine yoursellf to see if you have a critical spirit operating in you.
Good grief, what a director. Awesome leadership! This is the definition of full on anointed moment where all elements involved in this ministry were one accord.
If we don't praise Him, the rocks will cry out. Until you know what a person has gone through, do not ever hamper their praise. Hallelujah! Saying "Amen" is not the only way to praise God. Don't limit our ability to praise Him!
It does pay to serve Jesus!!!!. What a blessing this confirmation in song is. These young people did a magnificent job and you can tell they are having an experience. Mr Ferdinand/Paul Heflin you are both gifted and a blessing. Keep serving Jesus. Can't you just imagine what heaven will be like?!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!
Just so true and beautiful a message to us all. The beauty and joy of the glory of God’s love for us is expressed through Paul, the choir and the orchestra. I tear up just hearing it. Our God is good. Yes, yes yes dear Lord yes.
It pays to serve Jesus. What anointed singing! And The soloist blessed my soul. Singing under the anointing of the Holy Spirit is heavenly! God be Praised!❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
just beautiful! bro Paul will make sure you understand, before you leave this song, that it pays to serve Jesus! HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU JESUS! GLOOOORRRRAAAAAAYYYYYY, BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD! YES! GOD! IT PAYS TO SERVE YOU AND YOU ALONE¡ HEEEEEEEYYYYYY! THANK YA JESUS! I CAN'T STOP PRAISING HIM!!!!!!! HALLELUJAH JESUS JESUS JESUS!!!!!!!!!!! IT PAYS........
When God has done something to and for you what else can you do but give Him praise. When Peter told the lame man in Acts 3 to "rise up and walk" the Word lets us know later that the lame man was now made whole and started "leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God." When the Great God has done something that I could not even do for myself (Acts 17:28) all I can do is leap, walk, and Praise my God for His faithfulness.
ITS STILL TRUE IN 2025. THANK GOD FOR THIS SONG OF ETERNAL TRUTH. 👏🙏. A - MEN. ❤️- CAROLYN IN NASH.

It’s 2024 and this song still blesses me….
Absolutely brilliant. I have not stopped playing it since I first heard it,
This is 2034 and it still touched my soul.
Thank you, Jesus, my Savior and best friend.
1 It pays to serve Jesus, I speak from my heart;
He’ll always be with us, if we do our part;
There’s naught in this wide world can pleasure afford,
There’s peace and contentment in serving the Lord.
Refrain:
I love Him far better than in days of yore,
I’ll serve Him more truly than ever before;
I’ll do as He bids me, whatever the cost,
I’ll be a true soldier - I’ll die at my post.
2 And oft when I’m tempted to turn from the track,
I think of my Savior - my mind wanders back
To the place where they nailed Him on Calvary’s tree-
I hear a voice saying, I suffered for thee. [Refrain]
3 There’s a place that remembrance still brings back to me,
’Twas there I found pardon - ’twas Heaven to me;
There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary soul,
My sins were forgiven, He made my heart whole. [Refrain]
4 How rich is the blessing the world cannot give,
I’m satisfied fully for Jesus to live;
Tho’ friends may forsake me, and trials arise,
I’m trusting in Jesus, His love never dies. [Refrain]
Thanks for caring to share.
This is not a show. We should thank God for endowing this young man with such a magnificent voice. The choir was outstanding. God did not commission us to critique these singers.

When God has done something to and for you what else can you do but give Him praise. When Peter told the lame man in Acts 3 to "rise up and walk" the Word lets us know later that the lame man was now made whole and started "leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God."
