Paul Foster was an absolute powerhouse. Whether you're religious or not, you cannot deny the talent & passion that the SAR Records era so beautifully encapsulated.
i love at 2:07 you see the tears running down his face... i understand brother.. the Lord has been my shelter even when i tried to run away towards sin, he didnt punish me as my sins deservers. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
Old traditional black gospel from the 1950's ! I got my start in the ministry by preaching in poor inner city African American churches.They welcomed me with open arms and gave me the opportunity to preach in their pulpits when I was 19 and 20 years old.In Jesus we are color blind and part of the same Body of Christ.Their type of worship was a blessing to me.Bro.David.
I was just entering the world when this was being sung. I was born colour blind. But it was not until I was born the 2nd time that I truly became colour blind.
I wholeheartedly echo the comments regarding Paul Foster's incredibly powerful delivery. This performance is the best version that I have ever heard of this song and is much better than the Soul Stirrers' album recordings.
AMEN AMEN AMEN...Didnt have a Mother or a Father,Doors shut in my face,people hating you for no reason, he put a roof over your head, he protects you and your Family,gets you to and from safe, he takes over our minds so that we make the right decisions..He is a Shelter for us❤ I LOVE YOU..🙋🏾♀️
Tapping my foot and praising God! *Smile* True Christians see no color; we are all one in Jesus! Thanks for sharing this with me, have a nice day and God bless!
I pray this will lift up your spirit today ! Take into account that back then segregation was everywhere in the schools,busing,business,churches, restaurants .How tragic ! When they sang a song like this it had even a deeper meaning ! In Christ and in the power of the Cross destroys racism in a believers heart.I started my ministry in poor African American inner city churches when I was 19/20 years old.I was honored by this fellowship and we were colored blind.The blood of Jesus unites us !
I came to my Jesus just as, just as I was I was weary, I was wounded and sad But I know that I found in Him a resting, a resting place And now, right now my heart, my heart feel bad, oh, Lord
In the back, middle, is the talented Jimmy Outler. He took over as lead singer for the Soul Stirrers after Johnny Taylor left for the bright lights. He was killed in a fight in 1967.
THANKS FOR SENDING THIS ONE TO ME. THEY DID A GREAT JOB SINGING IT. I ALWAYS DID LIKE BLACK PEOPLE SINGING CAUSE MOST TO THEM REALLY GET WITH IT. DARLENE

Thank you Jesus for your precious life, for the Sacred Blood your poured from your body to wash our sins. The way you have been treated it is beyond my imagination. Thank you Jesus for all you have done so we can have life forever with you in Paradise. Amen
Sinnngg Paul..'THE LORD BEEN A SHELTER!!'..he sang from the soul...you can feel and hear it his voice the Spirit of God moving telling his testimony..this come personal experience..there's a price to pay for the anointing and he's paid the price to sing under the anointing like he did..RIP Rev. Paul Foster..you were a true soldier for Christ
I'll take this any day over the "rock bands"that are taking over our Church.... great post and God bless. Could you please pray for my family and I, I am having "high risk"surgery on Oct 11.
Yes HE HAS !!! "Oh, what a "Straight to the Soul" song"! I Love to hear Bro. Paul Foster "Boom" out the Gospel through "Soul Stirring" Songs! He has also been an ever present help in my times of troubles"! (Psalm 46:1)
We are all one in the Holy Spirit of our living God thru Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessing of the the Lord be upon you all ~ 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
Amen! The Lord has been a shelter for me too!! Psalms 91:1-2 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
That music was beautiful! I didn't know there was Christian Du-Wap. That's 1 of my favourite kinds of music. Is there anymore? There's nothing like the romantic ballads of the 50s-60s. But I can't listen 2 it any more because I never had romance in my life & I never will.There is so much music I can't listen 2 Bcuz so much of my life is already over. It just reminds me of all the things I've done wrong & can't change now. Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. GOD bless you & yours, Mamma
Halleluyah, this is exactly what it sounds like on Friday nights in our living room! Give me that old time religion, it's good enough for me! Thanks for sharing brother!
so beautiful and reassuring gospel music.so true brother,that in Christ we are color blind and part of the body of Christ.keep up with these inspiring videos
This song was made for our people and our struggle. Its meaning is significant and should be recognized for its comforting message. God knows we need comfort in this wicked hurtful place where they hurt us just because of who we are. Vengeance Lord, just like David asked.
Jesus is our Shelter all the time - when others forsake us or let us down we can always turn to Jesus for a shelter in the time of storm. He is always there to hear our cry for help and mercifully give us grace and strength in our time of need. Katherine
good video. thanks. :) I got saved and started doing ministry in the inner cities in the late 1970s too. The light of Jesus Christ shines brightest in the darkest places leading people to the shelter that never lets you down.
@aflame4God I love the soul stirrers by dad introduced them to me......I esp. loved them when sam cooke was singing with them.......thanks for the post..........grace and peace......selahpause
Beautiful!!!!! We are all one in Christ! Brother David you are such a blessing to so many! A young man set out to spread the good news So they may be saved ! Love this beat gets me moving and smiling! Love to All your Family YSIC~Paula
@iloveusomuchjesus Love your input , very encouraging ! Doors really did close in their faces because of the color of their skin and how sad it was that many back then and even now who confess Christ have racism in their hearts. The words are meaningful and as we read the Psalms we see those words Shelter,Refuge, Strong Tower,Buckler,Shield,Fortress ! Powerful description of who the LORD is to us !
I’ve noticed many singers have the pipes but lack the anointing, Paul Foster had both and that makes the difference whether you can be called a house wrecker. Awesome singer.
Is it me or does the guy on the guitar look like a younger version of lawrence fishburne when he was one the musicians who sang with shug avery in color purple?
@10battalion10 Amen and praise the LORD !! We are one in Christ when we are born from above .I love this song and how they sing with a fervent heart .Real signing from the depths of their souls.
@LoveAndDefendLife Yes this song stirs my soul and makes me want to shout to the Lord for all He is to you and me ! I never get tired watching this video !!! Bro.David.
@BuddsAppleFarm Hey Paul. When in Bible College I had a desire to preach.On Sunday I would put on my suit and tie and drive to the inner city to a poor church just to worship and hear the Word.I never asked anyone 'can I preach?" They loved me and accepted me.The pastor would invite to the platform and pulpit to testify and then would ask me to return to preach.It was great !! This had me many times.They treated me with mutual love and respect in Christ.Great memories singing/shouting/preaching
@dan4ETERNALPATH Thank your comments ! He is our shelter and I love the way they sing-they sing with fervent passion like they really believe it ! I appreciate the old style and the very clear message the we have a refuge in Jesus.Bro.David.

I’m 52 just hearing this song 2024 at 8:00 am. He been a shelter for me. Thank you Lord.
Paul Foster is a fire breather! Period!
I love the old ones because it let us know how much the Lord is with us
Sing, Paul!!!!
When my mother was in the nursing home, we would sing this song together, I tried to sing it like Paul!
Paul Foster was an absolute powerhouse. Whether you're religious or not, you cannot deny the talent & passion that the SAR Records era so beautifully encapsulated.
So right brother perfectly said I agree totally. I love them ❤️✝️👊
Yessss I felt anointed through the tv screen he wasn't playing.
2024 where y’all at🙏🏽
right here I enjoy listening to classic gospel.
🔥🔥🔥
Here!
In loving memory of the one & only Mr. Paul Foster (1920 - 1995 R.I.P. // gone but not forgotten).
Amen!!!
Paul Foster was no joke....
Never a joke at all. So serious when on the job.
I will always love group.
I'm sure those men earned their just reward in Heaven!
If this doesn't move you? You have no soul.
Loved Jimmy Outler too....
Amen to that. I am 68 and I still get cold chills listening to him sing!
i love at 2:07 you see the tears running down his face... i understand brother.. the Lord has been my shelter even when i tried to run away towards sin, he didnt punish me as my sins deservers. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
I noticed the same I feel the same he kept me when I didn't deserve it.
Paul Foster emulates a christian man and alpha male. Strong men is what this country needs!
You are absolutely right. Paul's performances perfectly exemplify what I call "muscular gospel".
Thank you!
Old traditional black gospel from the 1950's ! I got my start in the ministry by preaching in poor inner city African American churches.They welcomed me with open arms and gave me the opportunity to preach in their pulpits when I was 19 and 20 years old.In Jesus we are color blind and part of the same Body of Christ.Their type of worship was a blessing to me.Bro.David.
I wasn't born in the 1950's but I enjoy hearing this kind of gospel
I was just entering the world when this was being sung. I was born colour blind. But it was not until I was born the 2nd time that I truly became colour blind.
I love this hymn brought me to tears he is a shelter. Time to get closer to my Savior who has never left me or forsaken me.
Ever noticed that no one makes music this powerful anymore
Yes! And I miss it!
PAUL FOSTER IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME
I wholeheartedly echo the comments regarding Paul Foster's incredibly powerful delivery. This performance is the best version that I have ever heard of this song and is much better than the Soul Stirrers' album recordings.
I actually like it better too I keep watching this particular performance.
Love Paul Foster!!
GOOSEBUMPS...
PURE POWERFUL BLACK AMERICAN SOUL.
🖤🇺🇸
AMEN AMEN AMEN...Didnt have a Mother or a Father,Doors shut in my face,people hating you for no reason, he put a roof over your head, he protects you and your Family,gets you to and from safe, he takes over our minds so that we make the right decisions..He is a Shelter for us❤
I LOVE YOU..🙋🏾♀️
Amen ❤ Janice
funny Paul singin about shelter when he's bringing down the house
Worldly shelters will shatter and fall, only the shelter of God's love is eternal.
Big Paul Foster was one of the greatest old time Gospel baritones. Amazing singer.
He was I felt the power through this tv screen.
Amen!Ps 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
If this don't move you, you are dead! Thank you Jesus! Thank you guys for the blessed tune
Exactly 💯 I played it 5 times already.
I love!!! 1960's gospel music from my black american culture. This time era when all Americans citizens still respected the Lord Jesus Christ.
My, gosh. Paul was just the best.
Soul Music, Praise the Most High for music like this in times where the adversary is pushing his corrupt music to the masses.
Tapping my foot and praising God! *Smile* True Christians see no color; we are all one in Jesus! Thanks for sharing this with me, have a nice day and God bless!
These songs are classics! They don't make them now-a-days like they used to in them days! Thanks for sharing.
I pray this will lift up your spirit today ! Take into account that back then segregation was everywhere in the schools,busing,business,churches, restaurants .How tragic ! When they sang a song like this it had even a deeper meaning ! In Christ and in the power of the Cross destroys racism in a believers heart.I started my ministry in poor African American inner city churches when I was 19/20 years old.I was honored by this fellowship and we were colored blind.The blood of Jesus unites us !

I HEAR YOU PAUL I HEAR YOUR SOUL THAT YOU WERE BORN WITH,I THANK GOD FOR YOUR PARENTS!!! WELL DONE, WELL DONE.
I cried the same way he cried when I first heard the end of this song. It's so affirming to see it actually happening from the singer himself.
Nothing like old school gospel, yes he is a shelter in the time of a storm.
Soooo true it moves me .
Nothing Better!
I came to my Jesus just as, just as I was
I was weary, I was wounded and sad
But I know that I found in Him a resting, a resting place
And now, right now my heart, my heart feel bad, oh, Lord

That is a quality voice
when listening to sam cooke, i always would hear Paul's voice and never thought to look him up indvidually, im happy i just did, after years
In the back, middle, is the talented Jimmy Outler. He took over as lead singer for the Soul Stirrers after Johnny Taylor left for the bright lights. He was killed in a fight in 1967.
I noticed him in another clip I watched he stood out they were singing about being a soldier in the army of the Lord.
@@musiclover-cn7tb I have watched that video many times. It is a good one. Jimmy Outler is outstanding in "Looking Back."
woooow ❤ I'm glad to know I'm not alone thank you so much I definitely wanted to know his name the guy on guitar was amazing too this is moving.
I do love their voices my grandfather played this kind of gospel that's true about the spirit being moved ❤

@iloveusomuchjesus Love your input , very encouraging ! Doors really did close in their faces because of the color of their skin and how sad it was that many back then and even now who confess Christ have racism in their hearts. The words are meaningful and as we read the Psalms we see those words Shelter,Refuge, Strong Tower,Buckler,Shield,Fortress ! Powerful description of who the LORD is to us !
Thank you for sharing Bro. David, I love Gospel music. This one is so happy it just lifts the spirit!
loves from belgium for uploading this great piece of music!!
These soft singers praising God without this delivery needs to listen to the vocalistic thrill of this guy.
I’ve noticed many singers have the pipes but lack the anointing, Paul Foster had both and that makes the difference whether you can be called a house wrecker. Awesome singer.
Is it me or does the guy on the guitar look like a younger version of lawrence fishburne when he was one the musicians who sang with shug avery in color purple?
Haha right I saw and thought the VERY same thing. He does look amazingly like Lawrence Fishburne.
he sure does 😂😂 I noticed as well.
@10battalion10 Amen and praise the LORD !! We are one in Christ when we are born from above .I love this song and how they sing with a fervent heart .Real signing from the depths of their souls.
@LoveAndDefendLife Yes this song stirs my soul and makes me want to shout to the Lord for all He is to you and me ! I never get tired watching this video !!! Bro.David.
Love me some paul foster just wish sam was there as well!
love it!!!!
😇🙏🏽 chills!!
Awwwww... That was awesome brother David! Thanks for posting it!!
@BuddsAppleFarm Hey Paul. When in Bible College I had a desire to preach.On Sunday I would put on my suit and tie and drive to the inner city to a poor church just to worship and hear the Word.I never asked anyone 'can I preach?" They loved me and accepted me.The pastor would invite to the platform and pulpit to testify and then would ask me to return to preach.It was great !! This had me many times.They treated me with mutual love and respect in Christ.Great memories singing/shouting/preaching
Good ol' worship music! THE GOOD STUFF!!!
Amen , My Brothers and Sisters in CHRIST
@dan4ETERNALPATH Thank your comments ! He is our shelter and I love the way they sing-they sing with fervent passion like they really believe it ! I appreciate the old style and the very clear message the we have a refuge in Jesus.Bro.David.
