Yeah, Wayburn, George and Jay Green attended SWCC. This was the best Acappella Group ever. I don't know if they will ever achieve this status again. Not only was these Guys great but they also had Duane Adams the most talented bass ever, he could do any run in a bass voice.
3:02 oh man that part when he breaks in and blows it down, that is some of the most passionate soulful singing ive ever heard. He made the word "of" like 10 melodic syllables!! incredible song and performance ever.
@ 0:36 seconds...Wayburn Dean....easily one of the most outstanding vocalists in Acappella. He reminds me so much of Brian McKnight. Very distinct and smooth voice behind Acappella classics like "lead me to rest", "Rescue" and "We have seen his Glory"
1:07 John K Green killed it.... Acappella.....There has never been another sound.....Wayburn is truly Blessed a voice like none other, most exceptional.....
3:04 George Pendergrass is undoubtably the world's most creative vocal lead ever.... listen to the cry and break in his voice, he pours, heart, soul, body and mind in Every song he sings.
Wow! You are truly the person to teach the rest of the world to sing this song. I could understand every word you sung of this most powerful song. Please dont think for oneoment that this should be the "Black" National Anthem. You are singing this to the whole world. Please keep singing this song. Your voice is incredible. You are blessed. Thank you. I will play this often because I need it.
Every one of the Acappella singers is wonderful and each has their own selective talents. John K Green’s gift from my perspective, is he has one of the silkiest voices I have ever heard. I Love Every song he has ever sung with AVB and Acappella. Everyone shines in this version of Lift Every Voice; it is Beyond Amazing! I could sing it all day, and I have. LOL
That is so wonderful to hear. Acappella has had a big influence with me as well, helping me to always keep in the spirit. The camaraderie is also great. All the Acappella songs are taken from the Bibles perspective and that’s where Gods love for us shines through and we are immersed in the love of God. “Life Changing”.
essa formação é a melhor... indisputável, George não deveria ter saído, ele é o coração do Acappella... saudades dessa época de ouro,,. Acappella s/ nenhum desses 4 ñ é Acappella, não vem que não tem... The best lineup ever, indisputable. George shouldn´t have left, he is the heart of the group...Miss this golden time... Acappella without any of this 4 guys isn´t in fact Acappella...
I share that dream. You are most certainly right. May we see others as God see us...very true. I happen to be a black man but more importantly a child of God. It seems like nearly every video with the title "Lift Every Voice" has those who want to stir it up. Acappella (and AVB for that matter) spread the good news in song in a powerful way, but also demonstrated in a tangible way that people of other colors can show the love of Christ...together. Be encouraged!
Beautiful. I've had the exact audio to this for a long while, didn't know there was a video too. May God bless you. Wishing you much love, joy, and peace.
The guy singing the 2nd verse just stands there blasting out those rolls and notes with relative ease!! No strain at all. How? The 3rd guy's voice reminds me of Claude McKNight of Take 6. They sound similar.
This is the Wayburn that I like, his arrangement of this song is the best I've ever heard. He is a musical genius. The songs he sings now are good , but not even close to being in the same class of the acappella songs of old. He does not need the music. I hope someday he will come to the same conclusion.
this is so so beautiful!!!!! the melody, the flow, the everything....... somebody tell me that i`m still on earth, because this is truly heavenly!! I wonder the melody behind the PEARLY GATES...............................
Yes, I know Wayburn, he is my Brother and a he is a very good guy. I hate to see people using this as a forum for a racial debate. This song served a purpose. We all hope and pray that one day all black people will be judged by the content of their character, We are all one in God's eyesight whether we are red, green, black or white.
Read the lyrics to this song, tears rolled down my eyes thinking about the pain my people are going through, oh God of our weary years .God of our silent tears...
dis song is it...it is a unity message fo all races, white, black, latino, indian, yellow, and any other it is a song fo true americans..Truelly and utterly symbolic.........
These songs, my spirit is lifted, beautiful sound, beautiful inspiration, puts me in a heavenly places, I want to see Jesus, come Jesus come, I need to see your face
Unfortunately we've lost our dear brother John K. Green to Cancer a few months ago, along with brother Brian Randolph who appeared with John in an AVB lineup singing "My Heart" "Goot Foot" and many more. God rest our departed brother's treasured souls ❤🙏
Just saw a news report that the NFL will most likely be playing Lift Every Voice before the National Anthem before games this season and immediately looked up this version, easily my favorite Acapella song.
Mr .Nick , I see that your question was answered. The awesome John Green, my Christian little brother is awesome. He sung with AVB years past and is a beautiful Christian man of God. Keep him in your prayers.
Who is here in 2020 in the midst of all the mess? I shall not be moved! “Let our rejoicing rise high, high as the glistening skies! Let it resound high as the rolling sea!”
Yeah, Wayburn, George and Jay Green attended SWCC. This was the best Acappella Group ever. I don't know if they will ever achieve this status again. Not only was these Guys great but they also had Duane Adams the most talented bass ever, he could do any run in a bass voice.
This lady here knows what she is talking about.
01:05 THAT VOICE... I MEAN, THAT VOICE.
CAN'T EMPHASIZE IT ENOUGH... THAT VOICE!!!
If THIS is what we have on earth, what must Heaven be like? I can only imagine.
you brainwashed yu think yu going to some heaven 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
wow just wow. who is still here in 2022? timeless
Wayburn Dean, George Pendergrass, John Green... flawless.
Dean (the guy that comes in singing second, after George) is as smooth as warm butter
Beau Williams
George pours his heart and soul into every song he does, as if his life depends on it.
Every single song.
It's the anointing🙌🏾
can't stop listening to this great song
Me either

The song that keeps me going no matter what my colleagues do to me at work. Freedom freedom is all we need from this world.
I finally found who sings this version!!!!
I’ve been searching since 2014!!!!!
This is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard in my entire life.
Every one of the Acappella singers is wonderful and each has their own selective talents. John K Green’s gift from my perspective, is he has one of the silkiest voices I have ever heard. I Love Every song he has ever sung with AVB and Acappella. Everyone shines in this version of Lift Every Voice; it is Beyond Amazing! I could sing it all day, and I have. LOL
These guys are awesome their ministry have change my life from the time i begin to listen to acapella music
That is so wonderful to hear. Acappella has had a big influence with me as well, helping me to always keep in the spirit. The camaraderie is also great. All the Acappella songs are taken from the Bibles perspective and that’s where Gods love for us shines through and we are immersed in the love of God. “Life Changing”.
Sadly John is no longer with us gone but will never be forgotten RIP brother
This is the 1 of the most beautiful things i've ever heard. Such a mesh of heavenly voices to create this masterpiece.
This is one of my best from Pendergrass..I love this group so much. God bless them
I like the voice of the lady at 2.33. Great song
Wow, all I can say is, Keith Lancaster has come a long long way! Always excellent and never stopping to seek perfection.
Amazing vocals these guys can sing, can you imagine what the heavenly choir will be like
My favorite
Incredible-I hear music, instruments. Cannot believe this is acappella. tears flowing.
Rest in peace John, thanks for sharing your gift with us
essa formação é a melhor... indisputável, George não deveria ter saído, ele é o coração do Acappella...
saudades dessa época de ouro,,.
Acappella s/ nenhum desses 4 ñ é Acappella, não vem que não tem...
The best lineup ever, indisputable. George shouldn´t have left, he is the heart of the group...Miss this golden time...
Acappella without any of this 4 guys isn´t in fact Acappella...
I totally agree!
This group! 🙌🥺 it brings back high school memories. My favourite is George Pendergrass the soulful vocalist with power!
I share that dream. You are most certainly right. May we see others as God see us...very true. I happen to be a black man but more importantly a child of God.

09•08•2022 & Still the BEST version of all time💯🔥🔥🔥
I really love this song.. sweet song..it really does take me back.......
I LOVE this song
Beautiful. I've had the exact audio to this for a long while, didn't know there was a video too. May God bless you. Wishing you much love, joy, and peace.
Love to hear George and Wayburn sing. Nothing beats the vocal harmonies created by the Acappella Company
George! George! George! Your voice is truly a unique blessing.
The guy singing the 2nd verse just stands there blasting out those rolls and notes with relative ease!! No strain at all. How?
The 3rd guy's voice reminds me of Claude McKNight of Take 6. They sound similar.
Who is in 2020?
Me
Me rn
me
Me rn
2021
I get to 1:15 then restart it everytime. LOL The first part of the song is sick. The 2nd verse is real nice too, but the 1st two guys lay it out.
Paa Hawkins lol me too
THESE ANOINTED VOICES ARE INDEED BLESSINGS FROM GOD TO MAN!
This is the Wayburn that I like, his arrangement of this song is the best I've ever heard. He is a musical genius. The songs he sings now are good , but not even close to being in the same class of the acappella songs of old. He does not need the music.
I hope someday he will come to the same conclusion.
Oh, I so agree with you there! He sounds so different when he goes A Capella. It's like the best of his voice comes out.
I just feel so uplifted....praise
my favorite rendition of this song
this is so so beautiful!!!!! the melody, the flow, the everything....... somebody tell me that i`m still on earth, because this is truly heavenly!! I wonder the melody behind the PEARLY GATES...............................
Hands down the best arrangement and vocals for this song… truly inspiring
Yes, I know Wayburn, he is my Brother and a he is a very good guy. I hate to see people using this as a forum for a racial debate. This song served a purpose. We all hope and pray that one day all black people will be judged by the content of their character, We are all one in God's eyesight whether we are red, green, black or white.
I am the brown skin lady with the hips .Thanks for your comment on my voice. I check this very seldom .God Bless you.
What's the name of the person singing at 1:06? Do u know any other song he does the lead in?
John K. Green. He was with AVB at the time but joined Acappella for this work.
Nick Lawrence his name is John Green, a former member of AVB.

Mr .Nick , I see that your question was answered. The awesome John Green, my Christian little brother is awesome. He sung with AVB years past and is a beautiful Christian man of God. Keep him in your prayers.
Who is here in 2020 in the midst of all the mess? I shall not be moved! “Let our rejoicing rise high, high as the glistening skies! Let it resound high as the rolling sea!”
