These people are not in a competition. They are singing a beautiful gospel song. If you are only trying to listen for the one who sings it better, than you are really missing out on the spiritual blessing that this song gives.
Nae Mitchell Right...All these keyboard heroes...No matter the interpretation, If God is glorified, He is pleased!!
YES!!!!!! Thanks, Sis
This girl has been through so much... yet can still give Praise in its purity. With her Faith. It's something we should learn from. If we just had faith the size of a mustard seed....
God Bless you Jennifer Hudson. Thank you..
Talk about it God is with Jennifer. 😍😇😇😇😇😇
Thanks sooo much for the giftedness of Walter Hawkins composing this Gospel masterpiece!! To God be the glory!!🙌🏾
This song remind me of going to church in Chicago as a child my mom loved this song RIP Mother.
I'm from Chicago to and my mom loved it as well and used to sing it with the choir in the back
Last year I was diagnosed with Glioblastoma brain cancer. My friend/nephew Quan M Frank always told me to be grateful, there's always someone that's worse off than you. I used to send him gospel songs. I wished I had sent him this before he committed suicide. Thank you Jennifer Hudson, and tell George Huff I said hello..
Still listening in 2023 -Yes God!! 🙌🏽
I think that Bishop Hawkins WOULD have appreciated this perfromance. He was a humble man and full of love.
Tandiweh Yes and amen! He was truly that.
Facts!
Without Jennifer Hudson I would have never heard this song. This song has reminded me to be grateful in my worst of times. There are a lot of people on here comparing artists, but what they don't realize is that different versions touches people differently. So what might be for you might not be for me. That's why God's talent stretches far and wide.
She didn't disappoint I heard this song playing on BMF last episode and started singing with it cause it was my mom's favorite song and broke down.
I'm crying right now, GOD IM SO GRATEFUL! 🙌🏾
Not sure how she was able to hold it all together after all she's been through then to sing this song. It would've brought everything back to me. Good job Jennifer.
That's the power of her faith
:) That's the love of God & the power of God Himself- we can only go but so far with out own faith, no matter how determined. His strength and the faith of* God;)
Be grateful: That you have the ability and the senses to HEAR this, everything in life is NOT about competition. Especially when it comes to Praising the Lord. All versions are beautiful and from THAT persons heart. When will WE learn that there is ROOM for us all. And yes, I know that everyone has their own opinion. But we should be worried about receiving the word and the message not WHO sang it better in "own minds." Bless everyone that has sang this. And let us all be GRATEFUL.
It's not that. John legend shouldn't have tried to put his own spin on an instrumental that was already perfect.
@Diamonds & Pearl Cleanerz LLC -Spoken like a true gem. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, gentleness, and empowering honest enlightenment.
Omgoodness... u and these tear jerking words...😘🙏🖤🙌💯... yes room for us all...if not we all wont be here... more life and divine guidance & provisions to you and yours... be well.

I love this Song so beautiful ❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful performance. Wonderful song.
This young lady here can sing her tale off(incredible and amazing). The most versatile female artist in the business. I love love love!!!
Jennifer, beautifully done.
This is a testament & praise song to be grateful for all God has done & is going to do. She has been through a lot!! She has her Faith. That’s why she can sing it. She knows what God has done & is doing in her life. May God continue to bless her & her family. Please don’t forget about John Legend, anointed man of God. Love his voice and song. May God bless him and his family. Just listen to the words. I can’t listen to this song without crying it’s hard. I’m so grateful to God my life hasn’t been the best not complaining I’m a survivor. Grateful to God. 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️😭
John Legend - what an incredible man. Brilliant and talented and still Humble.
Funny so many criticizing them but maybe God was speaking to someone through the song to be grateful...
Amen , you are absolutely right . It speaks to my spirit every time !
This song is a blessing...be grateful!

That Hammond organ sounds good in the back. YES SIRR!
"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High" (Psa. 92:1).

we song this in the choir I was in. love love love this song.
*A WHOLE VIBE!* 🔥🔥🎶
Absolutely beautiful!
Lovely rendition.
I'm always grateful! Amen
Remix of all times🎼🎵🎶🎙🎹🎸🎷🥁🎻🎺
Ledisi touched my heart. Her version had me in tears. I luv the original, Tamars was nice but Ledisi was Awesome!!
Sexybuttasteful yes ledisi is anointed
Leandria version is LAW!
@@officialderron I agree
PRAISE THE LORD GOD IN HEAVEN thank you for your patience with me a lowly sinner
There are comments saying this person and that person song it better. In the Bible the book of Acts says: "When the Holy Ghost has come upon you, you shall receive power." Regardless who song it, if they song it to the glory of God, and for God, and not for the glory of the audience, nor to the audience, then the power of God is in them and with them.
I don't know it they are singing to God's glory or entertaining the audience. But I know that they also sing secular music. So if I were to go by the fruit they bear, as the Bible says we should do in Matthew 7:16, well you do the math.
Psalm 104:33 "I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being."
Ezra Carter Thank you people need to get that!!! I get so annoyed with comparisons when it comes to singers. Like everything is supposed to turn into a competition. SMH
I don't care who sings it. I love this song.
@@neneppete4737 me too
Well done you two. 🤩😇😍♥️💙💜💚
Imma need you to sat dawn...She killed it..And did better than something you would done.....
Jennifer Hudson and John Legend and Friends Ministered:
"BE GRATEFUL"🙏
by The Hawkins OHANA (Familia)
Outstandingly😇❤🙏 5:04 5:48
Le’Andria killed this 💯
Tamar actually killed this.
@@msfubby9372 watch Leandria
Are we talking about Le'andrea
She killed it !!!!
I adore JHud with all my heart, but after listening to Tamar Braxton's version... Even the original sound weird to me. Tamar killed it. She did that! Haha. Love Jennifer, great job!
Big Ol Facts!!!
I just said this, then read your comment!
Because of your comment, I just went to hear/view Tamar’s rendition. Appreciate the tip!
I *very much prefer* this rendition here. It sounds so much more soulful to me, and legitimately touched my soul from the start.
The entire composition is outstanding here, let alone the vocals. And of course The Legendary Roots Crew is incomparable.
I *LOVE and live* for the fact that we have so much choice, so much FREEdom, so much variety in Life.
GOD anointed many so everyone could be heard, felt, seen, loved, appreciated, embraced. Not by All, but by Some.
*THANK GOD/Devine/UNIverse‼️‼️‼️* 🙏🏽🌟💎
AGREE Tamars version is something else, not taking anything away from Jhud who is amazing
@@BL3SSed-Bliss Listen to Leandria Johnson version.
She did that Thank u GOD
Blessings raining down on me!
Nice y'all! Love to hear them 2 singing Walter Hawkins classic. I have loved Lashun Pace's version of it too in back in 98.'
"Lashun pace" version is my fav like her version best no one sings this song like her.
This song needs that organ intro, and lynette Hawkins stephens still owns this song
+Richard Wright Yes. Everything you said. Yes.
Richard Wright fmdn
sing Jennifer!
So beautiful Jennifer!
She sang this song according to what she has been through.
👌🏿
She mentioned that. God bless her.
JENNIFER HELD BACK OUT OF RESPECT FOR JOHN LEGEND GOOD JOB JENNIFER I WISH I COULD HEAR YOU SING IT WITHOUT HOLDING BACK.
So true God bless the both of y'all for saying that in the choir
RIGHT. NOW. A thousand times Amen.
Lynette owns this song...nobody can jam it like her...NOBODY!
Roosevelt Pope I'm going to have to respectably disagree. Le'Andria Johnson's version is the best...EVER!!!
Tiffany Theodore Tiffany Tiffany Tiffany...you killing me...smile
And!!!! She sung the song at the last prophetic second after Karen Clark Sheard backed out.
Tiffany Theodore I hear you...she's got skill. cant argue with that
I appreciate that. 😃
beautiful❤💯
YES LORD I AM GRATEFUL THANK YOU
Leidisi's performance was on it. Made me shout @ home.
Lord I am so grateful for all you have done be glorify hallelujah praise the Lord
Beautiful
I am very thankful this Christmas :)
my favorite song
LOOOOOVE!!!!
beautiful
They killed this ya'll mad!
You people need to stop fussing about whose version is better and who did this and who did that, who didn't do this and that and ect... you need to listen to the message... They are saying just as the late Bishop Hawkins and the family said it years ago... Be Grateful even though times may be hard, even though things may not looking like you might want them to be.. we have to face a little rain sometimes, it wont always be sunny... a little pain makes you appreciate the good times....
* * * * *
AWESOME.
God has our best plans in His plans... Trust God..... Be grateful for what he does give you... Praise Him, Love Him with all your heart....
Tamar Braxton takes the cake on this song, her range is better. Jennifier is yelling mostly.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
EPICLY!!!!
Exactly
excellent
Thanks to ALL who see the bigger picture!!!! Please allow God to use her as He would have it...This particular singer may be used to bring the lost back to Him. I pray He continues to use her. He used a party (in college) to bring me to Him (I was pissy drunk and high). I didn't grow up in the church, however, my life with Christ has been AMAZING! Please don't be like the parable Jesus talked about with the good samaritan...all the religious and "I think I'm better" passed the man, but the samaritan man took care of him. Sing Jennifer!
What is not too like about being grateful, at times people mistake confidence for being self centered but some of Gods people just want to magnify him and Give God the glory because we remember the times when God was our only help and strength. The vocal arrangement is beautiful But the message is most clear, just Be grateful, someone is worse off than you. Praise God in every season!
I dont know why she will not just become a Gospel Artist. She has it....
I watch this video for the background vocals.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this song, love them both, but Kim Burrell has this one!!! Hands down.
BE GRATEFUL......
AWESOME MUSICIANSHIP
GLORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY 🙌🏾
Seja Agradecido!
Jennifer putting her spin on it with “luttle “ instead of little.
I agree 1000%
❤
I am very Grateful there are people worse off then me for sure
SLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong she held her note but when it comes to the Spirit of God it takes the anointing to break the yoke... Either you know about that or you don't know about that.
pfh3133 she isn't anointed
Agreed; there's something dark about this version.
Yes Lord Jesus
genial
nothing is wrong with this song
😢😢😢
