  • As a reminder of the Most High God's promise, that "He will give His Angels Charge over you", The Lyrics of this song "Angels" were written and set to an old familiar Call-and-Response melody. I'm old enough to have experienced this type of congregational singing; the "a cappella," hand-clapping, foot-stomping, soul-stirring singing that was the norm in the Baptist Church's I grew up in.
    What I didn't know, at that time, was that this style of music was passed on to us by our ancestors and we were just doing what came naturally to us.
    FUN FACT: The last church photo in the video, 'Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church" was the church I publicly accepted Yahshua as my Savior, and was baptized in many years ago. It was in that very building. All Praises to the Most High!

    How can you not feel your two angels over you. My Big Mama showed me how to make a way out of no way. She was the proof that African Americans have exemplified a bounce-back spirit that is fundamentally American by believing that change is going to come, even in the worst of circumstances. There has to be an Angel over me! YES!

    this reminds me of growing up in Louisiana and going to Evergreen Baptist church. The whole congregation singing as if God himself was sitting with us.. The spirit they carried will soon be a distant memory. I miss my great grandmother and the rest of my elders who have passed or almost home with the lord. They either in they 80s-90s-100s now. I'm talkin that REAL!! Makes me wanna cry

    This is where the military cadences from the army came from. The African division called the Buffalo soldiers did this and the other branches heard it and started doing it then other countries heard US doing it now all over the planet they do it.
    I prayed about why the music from the diaspora Detroit, Jamaica even in Brazil sounded so so so good to the whole world where even the Mexican mariachi bands really play Nigerian music (search JEHOVAH YOU ATE THE MOST HIGH GOD).
    I heard back from The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST that is because during slavery “they blessed me with their music so I blessed their music”
    All music is invented in HEAVEN so blacks from the diaspora were allowed to have new styles coming from HEAVEN to enter the earth through them because those in slavery blessed The LORD JESUS CHRIST with their song during slavery so HE in turn blessed their music.
    satan cannot create so he steals styles and perverts them then lies that a genre came from him women “nothing living can come from the devil” sayeth The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY YESHUA.
    Rock and roll came from the children of those in slavery and the praise break in churches from The HOLY GHOST directly and satan combined the praise break and rock and roll which started in the church also and the combination of the two satan used with demonic tongues to create head banger music, the first rappers were Christian rappers in church rapping about stories of The HOLY BIBLE (search Noah first rap)
    So blacks of the diaspora cannot take pride as UK music is from The LORD JESUS CHRIST from HIS FATHER in HEAVEN but should be thankful to have it come through them.
    Also proof the nation of islam was wrong again. Christians were the ones sneaking into the plantations at night telling the Africans about The LORD JESUS CHRIST and the Underground Railroad which was a series of white Christian homes in the south the Africans could hide at during the day while they journey to uncle t o m’s cabin in Canada where they could live free. Uncle is an African term for someone you love and respect

    Beautiful tribute and voices. The first time I heard this I was mesmerized, I could FEEL the spirit of God! The lyrics are so simple yet life-affirming with faith restoration and Godly expectation. I would love to play this on my podcast. Is that an option? Blessings and keep singing, praising, and honoring!
