You know I didn’t get too much of a good report when I had my labs taken last week I knew I needed to hear this song and do exactly what it says!!! Just call on Jesus anytime of the day🙌🙏❤️✝️
The Hawkins got me through as my mom was beginning her transition last year. I got and still get strenght through their songs. R.I.P Walter, Edwin and Mommy😪
Have not heard this song in years but started tearing up very quickly. After seeing today’s news JESUS must have brought me to this songwriter. GOD bless all the Hawkins👍‼️
Tears and more tears...can relate to God Being RIGHT HERE when Mom and Dad no longer is here...beautiful testimony and song! Blessings! 🙏🏽P.S. Also in Loving Remembrance of Dr. Edwin Hawkins of whom was called to Glory one year ago yesterday. 💙
This song brought me to tears as my heart recalled how Jesus Christ has always been with me in all of my troubles and trials, even now in my hardest one yet his spirit has overshadowed me and given me comfort and peace.
There is a soft veil over gospel music today with the passing of Edwin Hawkins. His career spanned more than 6 decades and he was one of the last male gospel luminaries that seamlessly linked the best of gospel's rich recent history with its best present offerings. His well acknowledged "Oh Happy Day" to the vast public domain of iconic gospel songs has been song by choirs the world over and his Music and Arts Seminar series gave public attention to some of the best singers, writers, producers and directors that the world has ever seen. His collaborations with established artists are also well documented. An exceptional musician, choir director and spokesman for black gospel music, Edwin earned his title of Father of CONTEMPORARY Gospel for his work to refine gospel music and help it to tastefully grow beyond traditional gospel circles and churches. God's exceptional irony should not go unnoticed this day. On an occasion given to the leadership of an articulate pastor whose reminder of church leadership in bringing social change in Dr. Martin Luther King on King Day, it is worth noting Edwin’s music and yes that of his family -- Walter, Lynette, Daniel, Carol, Feddie, Gloria, cousin Shirley Miller and sister in law Tramaine --must be credited with delivering a little social change as well. I have no doubt that those who know of his music's feel a great deal of appreciation to the faith basic sounds that have impacted so many over the years!
As this era in Gospel Music is over, it is great to have these treasures to minister to present times and situations for such a time as this. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Beautiful song & reminder. Reign In Power (RIP) Edwin Hawkins Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not"
May The Life & Legacy of the Man known as "The Father of Urban Contemporary Gospel!" Forever Be Remembered! Your Song, "Oh Happy Day!" paved the way for today's Urban Gospel Artists such as Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary and many others. YOU HAVE TRULY EARNED YOUR CROWN! Rest In Paradise Brother Edwin Hawkins!
Heartwarming song. The best lyrics comes from a passionate life experience - as Brother Edwin explains in the interview. It's comforting to see brother Walter actually performing on keyboards. This gifted family is sorely missed.
@Trevon Dawson, you are a God-Send!!!!! Thanks so much for posting these!!!! I love this song, and it's great to see Bishop Hawkins doing his thing. True classic.

There will never be another vocalist like Edwin Hawkins. NEVER.
One of my new favorite songs! It’s very comforting.
This song is a classic. Just imagine that Edwin wrote this song for the concert. Such a comforting song.
Edwin Hawkins will… FOREVER be “missed, but now, he’s singing with his “heavenly choir of angels.” 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Have not heard this song in years but started tearing up very quickly. After seeing today’s news JESUS must have brought me to this songwriter. GOD bless all the Hawkins👍‼️
