Okay, so you all already know I'm a huge Hezekiah Walker fan. He and his choir, along with Kirk, and John P. Kee, had such an impact on my love for the Lord and His word through song. Growing up, my church choir sang songs that didn't motivate me the way those artists' music did. This album though, is my favorite Hezekiah Walker album.

The album opens with the live "Christ Did It All" written by Rodney Posey...might remember him with his hit, "El Shaddai", with Kim Waters on sax. The song reminds us that Christ did it all for us... He suffered for all of us...was hung and died for all of us...and rose from the dead so that we would all have the right to eternal life, whew that was alot that He did for us and I'm forever grateful for it. Other classics are "Calling My Name" , "Love Lifted Me" and "I Will Go In Jesus Name". This is a must have album for your gospel music collection and one to play to get your spirits lifted and to have a good time praising the Lord to.


Here's another Hez oldie...



Hezekiah Walker & The Love Fellowship Crusade Choir

Live in New York By Any Means... (1995)

(courtesy of Andre...thanks!)

Alright, this is my other favorite Hez album. Thanks again Andre for sharing this with us all! I had this on tape and last year, upgraded it to cd. Two classic invitational songs are on this album, "Second Chance" and "Come Home". Both songs are letting listeners know that it's not too late to turn your life over to God and start anew. "Restore Your Joy In Me", aww man, when I heard it the first time, it was like they knew I needed to hear that...."forgive me Lord, try me once again. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" For those who listen to R&B, Mr. Aaron Hall solos on "No Greater Love". And how can I forget "I'll Fly Away" and "How Much We Can Bear" (anonymous...that's one song your youth choir could minister), just a great album. Enjoy!



As always, if you've been blessed, please purchase the ministry's other albums. On another note, haven't been able to upload Martha's album will do it today though (those who know my situation, know why). Be sure to check the archives out listed to the right, there is more music located there (even some albums I've and others have reupped). I will be reupping more that were deleted, so just keep checking back to see if the album you wanted is back up. I'm thinking about adding a section to the right with updates of reupped albums. I'm also kind of disappointed that no one has shared their views on the music posted here. I would enjoy reading them and knowing what you think. Also knowing what other artists you all enjoy listening to and that minister to you that I may not be be aware of.
