a customer walked into my office while I had this playing full blast and said "who is that singing, and is that Jesus music?" I giggled and said "yes it is" and they are the Gather Family. I turned my screen around and we both listened, as they got half way into it, where Guy takes the Solo and David takes over and He began to cry. I will never stop being amazied at what an impact their song have on people. Sets the stage to lead them to the Lord!
When David opens his mouth I see heaven, I see Jesus sitting on the right side of God the Father. I see multitudes of angels singing and praising the Lord with him. My spirit wells up inside of me so much that it feels like my heart is going to split right out of my chest. I'm 71 years old and to feel spirituality whole again is amazing. My husband was a wonderful tenor. His music kept me alive and I felt toward him as I feel toward David. When my husband passed, I died inside. But when I first heard David, I felt closer to Jesus as I once did. Music is so important in your life. My family was all musicians and teachers of music. I love music and will until I die. Mr. David Phelps is the best musician of our day! Thank you David.
No one could sing this fabulous song better than the Gaither Vocal Band. When David Phelps hits those high notes it is absolutely chilling in a good way.
I am totally non-religious, a died-in-the-wool atheist...............but I have been listening to these songs for the past 90 minutes and I love them. The harmonies are fabulous and all the singers are great but David Phelps is on another planet. One of the greatest voices I have ever heard.
He was on fire that night, all of his performances from this concert are unreal. He could have been very wealthy and famous with his pipes, but he chose to serve God, his music is a blessing. God bless you.
+texetera I couldn't agree more. I think I have listened to this song over 20 times and I never get tired of his singing. I used to listen to pop, and rap but one day I was driving home from work with the radio blasting and a voice in my head said...Stop listening to this music. I turned the station to Christian music and never looked back. That voice was not from me because I was busy singing. If you, as an atheist, listened to this music for 90 minutes and loved it, I can tell you, God was speaking to you. Not all thoughts are our own. We have thoughts from demons and from God. Demons tell you things like...you're not good enough, you can't do something...all of the negative thoughts that pop into your mind. And just an fyi, you don't need religion. You just need to know Jesus.
+Steven P wow, can't you see that it's the same for both sides? there are Christians that feel the need to tell everyone about their relationship with Jesus and there are also atheists that constantly need to tell people that they're not religious.
I love all these folks: Bill, Gloria, Guy, Russ, Michael, Mark, etc, etc. The GVB over the years are my favorite group. I have over 30 of their DVDs. I see some comments comparing others with David Phelps…..seriously? Every Voice coach and teacher I have ever heard from believes David Phelps is one of the greatest singers alive today, and certainly a cut above anyone who has ever been in this group.
David Phelps has the greatest singing voice God ever created! the Gaither vocal band is the Best ever. I have been listening to them for decades and never get enough. I start my day with praise and worship to Jesus with David and the vocal band songs!
Does anyone else back up this video to 4:40, when Guy just nails his solo part? And then David brings it on home!!! (I do it about 5 times each time!)This is one of the best renditions, ever! God Bless you, GVB!! Pray for freedom!!
Not only do I back it up to that point, I restart it because RUSS Taft part is also really good, that low tone, then Guy's and then David and it all gels so well. I dont think there is a better version of this song. I Love Mark Lowry and I still prefer this version because David Really went for that note in this one. Absolutely awesome, it makes me cry everytime, esp knowing where they were and what happened with 9-11
David Phelps is by far the best singer I have ever heard, and I'm almost 61 years old. His voice is so inspiring to listen to. I have played this song so many times as well as No More Nights, and it just gets better each time. Thank God for a voice like his.
The group is incredible!! Everybody does a fantastic job! The notes that David hits! The power of Guy Penrod... and the way that Russ Taff reacts, is incredible!!
When David Phelps brings this rendition to it's climax, my eyes fill with tears and I can't stop crying, totally overcome. He has tried several other venues, but he doesn't fit as well as he does with Bill Gaither's crew. God has shown him where he truly belongs.
Absolutely beautiful!! The voices of David Phelps and Guy Pernod have definitely been given to them by the Lord, Jesus Christ. You guys are fantastic!!!!!
I'm surprised they didn't do more promotion outside the US in their heyday I grew up with Sandy Patti, DC Talk, Carmen & Hillsong but never hear of the GVB til I found Mark Lowry in the early 2010's. Even then most people I asked had never heard of it. I'd love to see them even if it was a virtual concert.
David Phelps, you are truly in my mind, a legend. God be with you and your family, throughout the end of the Ages. God Bless and thank you So much for sharing and blessing countless people with your beautiful gift. Whoever here feels the same way give this a like!
“…No more tears, never cying again”…but every time I listen to this song of David, I can’t just help to cry a river…His voice just brings release, relief and peace in my soul. Tears of joy and hope. I praise and thank God for such a gift of David’s voice & music.🙏😇
In my opinion, the best version of Let Freedom Ring. Also David Phelps, wow what power, and in my opinion vocally one of the best tenors that ever lived.
The song "Let Freedom Ring" by the Gaither Vocal Band is a powerful anthem that celebrates freedom not just in the political sense but also in the spiritual sense- through faith and God’s grace. The song's message is uplifting and deeply moving, resonating with themes of liberty, hope, and redemption.
The interplay between Guy and David during this song is so magnificent - both know and recognize the other's talent and ability. Power Harmony at its finest.
He knows an annointed voice when he hears one!!!! After all, his voice is well-known for being an 'Imperial'. I would recognize it anywhere!!!! I listened to the Imperials' albums consistently as a teen! Wow, just wow!!!!!
Everything about this song is just awesome. The power and creativity that David and Guy brought, the absolute joy that Russ displayed, and the pure heavenly peace and calmness on the face of Bill - this is soul lifting.
Only two people have ever died for you. God volunteered to die for your sins! And the American service men and women died for your freedom! Please don’t ever forget that! Semper Fidelis forever and God bless America forever! Oohrah
Wow! The message and delivery are both excellent! Praise to the Author of Freedom! Thanks to those who support and defend it on earth, but remember the one who conquered death and hell to give us the greatest gift of all--eternity in a place where there isn't any pain, worry, or want. There are good leaders and bad leaders, great and terrible acts, but there will always be just one King. When all has crumbled and burned the truth of his love remains and nothing can separate you from the freedom that lives forever within it and nothing can erase the words he has written. True Love can walk through fire and that's what he did for even the worst of us. Death and hell couldn't hold him. His word is unbreakable, indestructible, and without fault, but he can break any chains that bind; the truth will set you free! Just open the door of your heart; he is the Rock you can stand on when there isn't any other solid ground; he is the quiet voice and will protect you from the storm; you can have faith and trust in him even if everyone turned their backs; he is comfort in times of sorrow; in your darkest hour he is there with you, closer than a brother and your best friend; he understands your pain better than anyone could because he endured more than anyone ever has or will and did it willingly even though he had the power to break the sharpest sword and destroy all who put him to death with just one word; he took it all and faced hell itself for his children and rose from the grave holding the keys to death and hell; he loves you more than anyone else is capable of because he is the very definition of it.
This is perhaps the most stirring vocal production I have ever experienced. I have watched it dozens of times and it still gives me goose bumps. The entire group is just spectacular. David Phelps really unleashes the power of his voice in this one. His vocal control and precision is simply unmatched anywhere. The note he belts at 5:08. is mesmerizing. It's difficult to launch into an upper register power note like that from a standstill, and he executed it perfectly. What a gifted group of musicians and a great gift to all of us.
I'm here, listening to artist after artist...David Phelps, Ivan Parker, The Booth Brothers, Jason Crabb, The Martins, Russ Taft, Sandy Patti, Karen Peck, The Gaither Vocal Band(s) and on and on. American has been SOOOO Blessed by our Heavenly Father. And Bill and Gloria Gaither have done so much to make that possible, not to mention the many great songs they have written. To the musicians, production crew, all who have helped... Thank you for the bottom of my heart.
Tears of joy every time i hear David sing.. And what an angelic voices of these gentlemen. God's love & blessing rain all over the earth through Gaither's gospel..!!! Be blessed..!!!!
I told my daughter that before i die, I would so much love to see the Gaither program in person. I grew up listening to the Gaither trio. My father turned on the electricity, the first time WCTV Tallahassee was ever on the air. We had the Cathedrals, The Florida Boys, The Crab Family, and a host of other musicians. My father was also in a non known group, called The Joyful Singers. They did local stuff, but never made it to any big time act. I did however manage to meet folks like Jimmy D. Young, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. There was one occasion, while I was away at a Christian Summer Camp called "The Wilds", I missed the opportunity to meet Bill and Gloria, when they came through Florida. I just would love to fulfill my own dream of seeing The Gaither Vocal Band, in person. Of course this would only play second fiddle, to the birth of my daughter and grandchildren. The power of God, the presence of the Holy Spirit and the love of Jesus Christ, will guide me through any trials that life has to throw at me.
Praise the Lord, this was filmed at Carnegie Hall in New York just several months after the 9/11 and now last month was the 20th year mark since that horrible day in our nation! To God be the glory in all things for He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end!
kelton Thomas , I know that's right, I love hearing him sing. He's one of my favorite singers with Gather Vocal Band. I love hearing him hit those high notes. I love David Phelps.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galations rings out for Freedom through this wonderful version sung by these very talented men and women - so powerful. Praise God. AMEN and AMEN.
PS..Am i the onlt one who notices how neat and well "well put together" Gus is at the stsrt of the song..by the end the spirit of freedom moved on the order of his person...and its HALLELUJAH TIME FOR HIM..LOVE YOU GUS
Freedom is not free folks. It cost many of my fellow combat veterans all they had for us to be free and most of all it cost Jesus His life for all of us to finally be free like no other freedom on earth. Thanks for posting.
Each time I experience this awesome rendition of this powerful song I weep for what this once great nation has lost. History, wisdom, obedience and sight of the glorious God this nation has ignored and rejected. May the grace of God be amplified and responsive cords be struck with those who are quickly sinking in the swill of what is left of this world. There is none like our loving God
This song is thrilling from start to finish. I call it the Halleluia Anthem of Freedom. When one can share in religious liberty, we have to be thankful. Many persons in some countries cannot freely worship. So, this song resonates with me as we do experience religious freedom in our country. Each time I watch/listen, I want to sing out like the Gaithers,"Let freedom ring!" It thrills my every nerve. I stay in "Standing Ovation" mode for a while after. They seem to be singing from the heart and that's what gives me a whole lot of joy.
David Phelps could make singing Happy Birthday an emotional experience! All kidding aside no singer in my lifetime has ever truly touched my soul and spirit like David Phelps. To say that he's annointed is a gross understatement.
I am what Christians call a back slider i turned my back on the Good LORD long ago tho i know my LORD has never turned on me he is always with me. I was born and raised in a Christian home my Beloved MOM & DAD whom worshiped GOD to there last breath did an awesome job by guiding me to that path in JESUS CHRIST. When i hear songs of praise & freedom it reminds me of what i no longer have but know i need to get back too. Getting back to the ways of the LORD have been hard for me LORD knows im trying but i can't break those chains that have me bound. When i hear songs of praise and freedom my spirit moves. This blessed Gruop the Gaither Vocal Band WOW incredible. I dont know his name so I'll say this the brother with the high pitch voice. INCREDIBLE.. To GOD be all the Glory. I pray My Merciful GOD shows me how to get back to his holy & righteous ways and that he allows me to fulfill my purpose b4 i leave this earth. GOD IS SO GOOD. May the good & mighty God guide your path & light's your way. GB....
As long as you turn back to Him, He is always there waiting Manny. I backslid for 7 years and then was so soul sick, I broke down and came back. Remember the story of the prodigal son, he backslid and his father came running to meet him on the road to welcome him back. That is your heavenly father. You confess your sins to Christ, He as the high priest takes it all away and you are renewed and refreshed. Rise up and go forward!!!
@@thedynamicsolo4232 Thank You for your feed back. Im just having a hard time finding my way back. Its like i just dont know what to do. I know GOD is good no one can tell me different. No one can tell me that he does not exist but when it comes to me finding my way back i get lost. But i do appreciate it. Your prayer are welcomed.. Thanks
@ Manny Love, I agree with what TheDynamicsolo has told you. I'm praying for you, and God answers prayer! Remember how the Father welcomed back the prodigal. He RAN to him when he saw him coming home (as I see you've already been told). I'm sure God is answering those prayers of your parents, too, as He has led you to hear this group. BTW, the brother with the high-pitched voice is David Phelps. God has called me to pray for him, too. He's my favorite singer.
@@jacquelinegarrett6052 ThankYou for your response i welcome prayer i do believe God answers prayers. I just can't find the courage to surrender i know my life would change in miraculous ways i think thats what i fear is change. I dont believe in giving the Lord 50% its either a 110% or nothing. Dont know if im making sense but thats where i am. Its mind blowing what i feel when it comes to the ways of God yet i can't surrender. Its crazy. But thanks.
We should all rejoice over the cross and what it represents to we Christians as a way for Jesus to provide salvation to the world! Love this song and their talents!
I do not know how many times I have listened to this, many, many. The tears still come to my eyes when David hits that note .... he comes close with "At the Cross".. but this is the best ... the whole scenario, the hall, the time, it is all there.
Joe, I can't listen without the tears flowing myself. Just proud to be chosen to be one of Gods children, and to live in one of the greatest Country on this planet, where we can sing freely of of what our Lord has done. What a beautiful song.
@@joedooley5209 Have you heard "Heaven's Shore? or "He is the Reason.?" He's has duets with his daughter Maggie Beth, and his sister (who passed away) that you may have heard.
I just want to tell you what an impact your music, be it the vocal band or the Homecoming videos, has had on my spiritual life. When I tend to walk off my path with Jesus's, your music directs me back. Your influence is awesome and outstanding and I'm sure our most Holy God will bless you all. I look forward to meeting you all in heaven. Thank you,thank you so very much.❤❤❤
If you didn't feel this song in your spirit you diffently need jesus.the hairs on my arms stood up and I felt tingly all over. It's a wonderful feeling to feel his presence. God's blessings to all the Gaither singers you are all special.✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
I have been singing gospel music my entire life, but David Phelps is the best I have ever heard. His ability to not only hit the high notes, but his amazing ability to sustain those notes proves to me that God has annoited him to sing gospel music. He is an amazing talent.
The opening line for Let Freedom Ring was written in Taiwanese by Phillip Newton Jr. The second line was written in Cantonese by me. The third line was written by Amie Beaudreau in the language of Zuni Pueblo (That Pueblo was founded by French astronomers). I wrote the next line was written by Brenda Tesaseque who grew up at Teseque Puebo. I wrote the next line in Portuguese and Shawn Obrien wrote the next line in Spanish. The next line was written Ilken Hildebrand XXI who wrote in Dutch. The next line was written in Italian by Shannon W Tanner. 😮 2:312:31
The Gaither Vocal Band members of Bill Gaither, Guy Penrod, Mark Lowry and David Phelps are my all-time favorites! God gave each one of them the most amazing and anointing voices that I've ever been blessed to hear. God has especially given David Phelps the most amazing and anointed tenor voices I've been blessed to hear.
I can truly hear them ministering when they sing... The Gaither Vocal Band has given me a peace that I have needed recently.. The enemy has tried to attack my peace but when I listen to Gaither Music it brings back the peace God intends for me to have as His Child... Thank you Gaither Vocal Band...
I HAVE READ THAT DAVID PHELPS IS THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME IN THE FIELD OF GOSPEL. THAT HE CHOOSES TO USE HIS VOCAL TALENT IN SUCH A WAY IS AWESOME. I'VE LISTENED TO HIS CONCERTS HE'S PRODUCED AWAY FROM THE GAITHER VOCAL BAND UT REALLY THINK HE SAVES THE MOST EXCITING PERFORMANCES FOR WHEN HE'S WITH THEM AND TRAVELING WITH THE WHOLE SHEBANG, WHICH INCLUDES BEING IN THESE VIDEOS.
With so many souls slaves of addiction, trapped in a hell of their own making, and countless others oppressed by Satan. I pray just now for Christ's power to break their chains and set those captives free! "...Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God, EVERYTHING is possible." Matthew 19:26
Deep within the heart has always known that there was freedom Somehow breathed into the very soul of life The prisoner, the powerless, the slave have always known it There's something that keeps reaching for the sky And even life begins because a baby fights for freedom And songs we love to sing have freedom's theme Some have walked through fire and flood to find a place of freedom And some faced hell itself for freedom's dream Let freedom ring wherever minds know what it means to be in chains Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key We can be free and we can sing, let freedom ring God built freedom into every fiber of creation And He meant for us to all be free and whole When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption His cross stamped pardon on my very soul I'll sing it out with every breath, I'll let the whole world hear it This hallelujah anthem of the free That iron bars and heavy chains can never hold us captive The Son has made us free and free indeed Let freedom ring down through the ages from a hill called Calvary Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring You can be free and you can sing, let freedom ring, let freedom ring
Just listen to Michael Phelps hit that glorious high tenor melodies he has been blessed by God to use for His glory......Guy Penrod is the tall grey haired Texan that hits some great notes as well........But nothing can even come close to Phelps!.....I listen to his music on the computer every night before I retire.....thanking the Lord for all His wonderful gifts....have to admit that tears come to my eyes when Phelps take over.....truly a great gift from the Lord......
Tim Feaster I listen every morning and evening as a part of my meditation with God and every experience feels the same ...God has blessed these guys ...David brings tears to my eyes I just thank God he choose to use this gift to honor God
Dahlia I couldn't agree more with your reply~ I, too, have tears running when listening to this spirit of the Lord flowing thru His chosen person David. I have read where he is the top ranked tenor in the world now. I watched his Italian opera presentation on RUclips and was just amazed. The Lord certainly has blessed him immensely with this unbelievable voice, and like you, am so glad he chose to use for the Glory & Grace of God~
Top 5 song of the GVB for sure - this version is absolutely the best. One thing I just notice in this time watching it - the look on Jason Crabb's face when David Phelps hits that unbelievable blind keychange at the end is priceless .... "you have to be kidding me!". :)
Praise God for the freedom we have in Jesus to no longer be held captive to the judgment of our own sin! He became what we WERE....that we might have what HE IS!!
Can't get any better!!! We all will miss the Gaither 's and the whole group that sings with them. Just imagine what Heaven is going to sound like???!!!! Glory!!!
Glory to God in the highest! This may have been performed in 2012, but it was meant for right now! It's not about the awesome voices, it's about the anointing of God on the song itself!
David Phelps is so incredibly gifted to bring any song to life. Each of the GVB contributes genuinely of their God given talents and its through the Holy Spirit they can bring the walls down . Thank you each one GVB !

Gracias por compartir esto, no hay más bonita definición que he leído.....Música de Jesús
after months of listening, David's voice still bring me to tears.
As well it should !!AMEN❤
Thank God for opportunities to tell others about Jesus!
Wow
His blood, stamped "PARDONED " on my very soul!!!!! That is the message.
Yessssss!!!!!!! This part!!!!
When David opens his mouth I see heaven, I see Jesus sitting on the right side of God the Father. I see multitudes of angels singing and praising the Lord with him. My spirit wells up inside of me so much that it feels like my heart is going to split right out of my chest. I'm 71 years old and to feel spirituality whole again is amazing.

But when I first heard David, I felt closer to Jesus as I once did. Music is so important in your life. My family was all musicians and teachers of music. I love music and will until I die. Mr. David Phelps is the best musician of our day! Thank you David.
None of these men are lacking when it comes to God's gift
No one could sing this fabulous song better than the Gaither Vocal Band. When David Phelps hits those high notes it is absolutely chilling in a good way.
Hi Sandy hope you're okay?
The anointing on this song is extraordinary. Share this to all you Know. America needs this song at this moment!!!!

When you have freedom in Jesus, no tyrant on earth will ever truly oppress you.

sadly yes i have been oppress in all my live
Amen!! Well said. Truth!

Guy Penrod certainty shares his God-given voice beautifully also, yes! God bless us all through these dedicated singers for His Glory, Hallelujah ☝👆🙏
If you only knew how many times I back it up to about the 2:20 mark! Already this morning prob about 12-13 times! Happy 4th everyone!
Not only do I back it up to that point, I restart it because RUSS Taft part is also really good, that low tone, then Guy's and then David and it all gels so well. I dont think there is a better version of this song. I Love Mark Lowry and I still prefer this version because David Really went for that note in this one. Absolutely awesome, it makes me cry everytime, esp knowing where they were and what happened with 9-11
You not alone
i play this so many times to give me courage to face the day
2022.......😊😇 Highly still relevant. I look back and Thank the Almighty God 🙏🏾 He sets a sinner free indeed 🙏🏾 🙌 forever grateful, ♥.
We will have eternity to sing these songs over and over and never tire of praising our precious Jesus! Still here in September of2024
Oct 2024, awesome🎼
I am here today and my Grandma recommended this song to me today and it is pretty good.
David Phelps is by far the best singer I have ever heard, and I'm almost 61 years old. His voice is so inspiring to listen to. I have played this song so many times as well as No More Nights, and it just gets better each time. Thank God for a voice like his.
Shocking but true ! Is he as good as Pavarotti ? Richard
I agree William.
Love hearing David Phelps! What an awesome anointed voice he has! Wow!
NO DOUBT HE IS THE PLANETS LEADING TENOR!! GOD blesses me immensely every time I hear this!!!

Check out the guy behind him, his face is gobsmacked!!! LOVE it!!!
My FAVORITE part of this video! But WILL we ever sing about freedom again?
@@ElenTuf Just a young Jason Crabb.. =D
Effortlessly
Amazing all the time ❤❤❤❤❤
David Phelps is one of a kind. His voice is breathtaking. GVB is the best gospel group of all. I do love those guys. Their performance is sublime.
I'm surprised they didn't do more promotion outside the US in their heyday I grew up with Sandy Patti, DC Talk, Carmen & Hillsong but never hear of the GVB til I found Mark Lowry in the early 2010's. Even then most people I asked had never heard of it. I'd love to see them even if it was a virtual concert.
David Phelps is my very favorite of singer.
When David Phelps open his mouth......Omg! What a gift!
The very height of the golden age of the Gaither Vocal Band
These words get me every time: "When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption, His cross stamped 'pardoned' on my very soul!"
David Phelps, you are truly in my mind, a legend. God be with you and your family, throughout the end of the Ages. God Bless and thank you So much for sharing and blessing countless people with your beautiful gift. Whoever here feels the same way give this a like!
Hi Hanna hope you're okay?
“…No more tears, never cying again”…but every time I listen to this song of David, I can’t just help to cry a river…His voice just brings release, relief and peace in my soul. Tears of joy and hope. I praise and thank God for such a gift of David’s voice & music.🙏😇
david phelps your voice is out of this world. spectacular performance....
David Phelps is GIFTED FROM GOD ABOVE WHAT SET OF VOCALS
In my opinion, the best version of Let Freedom Ring. Also David Phelps, wow what power, and in my opinion vocally one of the best tenors that ever lived.
you should hear him sing Nessum Dorma .... mind blowing @ the ease in which he sings that ....
The best no doubt!!!
I just wish he still sang like this.
This one is my fave, too. David tore the stage out of Carnegie Hall that night, just on fire.
brandon rogers audition
I feel like I’m there every time. I listen to David Phelps hit that high range. Amen
Don't let politics divide us. There is freedom in Jesus Christ. God bless America!
David phelps has a wonderful anointed voice!
David is THE VOICE OF THE GAITHER VOCAL BAND ! I've never heard of ANY to " TOP HIM " EVER !
I agree, I agree. I love David Phelps
Their companion is incredible as well

The song "Let Freedom Ring" by the Gaither Vocal Band is a powerful anthem that celebrates freedom not just in the political sense but also in the spiritual sense- through faith and God’s grace. The song's message is uplifting and deeply moving, resonating with themes of liberty, hope, and redemption.
The interplay between Guy and David during this song is so magnificent - both know and recognize the other's talent and ability. Power Harmony at its finest.
The mans face at 4:13 says all you need to know about the way this performance touches so many hearts.
I just love Russ Taff and his response to David Phelps hitting that note....you could tell he was just blessed while singing this song
W. James Wright ttggfgggj
W. James Wright I just love watching Russ get happy.
He knows an annointed voice when he hears one!!!! After all, his voice is well-known for being an 'Imperial'. I would recognize it anywhere!!!! I listened to the Imperials' albums consistently as a teen! Wow, just wow!!!!!
Me too... that's one of the things that I enjoy the most while watching this song... he delights himself with Phelp's and Penrod's performances.
W. James Wright so what does “blessed” mean?
Everything about this song is just awesome. The power and creativity that David and Guy brought, the absolute joy that Russ displayed, and the pure heavenly peace and calmness on the face of Bill - this is soul lifting.
Totally agree
Written by Gloria Gaither. Bill put the music to it.
Only two people have ever died for you. God volunteered to die for your sins! And the American service men and women died for your freedom! Please don’t ever forget that! Semper Fidelis forever and God bless America forever! Oohrah
WOW... WOW... WOW!!! Oh my Lord. I'm shouting with joy and crying at the time. Whew! Thank you Jesus for you are freedom!!
Yes God, thank you for our Freedom no matter where you live our who you are....God lives we are so blessed as believers.
David Phelps just rears up and throws out a C#5, no working up to it, and on pitch. Give me someone else who could do that.
pavoratti
Halford, Eric Adams, etc.
David was in his prime. Nowadays he's not that good anymore.
But in the end of the song...still David can't match with Guy highest note...
@@janiceartajo5575 get ur hearing fixed. That's an absurd statement.
I admire Russ he is not afraid to show his emotion and worship God.
I just LOVE the way Russ Taff reacts to David's high note!! LOL.. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!!.. PRAISE GOD!!!.. LET FREEDOM....
RINNNNGGG!!!!..
AMEN
Wow! The message and delivery are both excellent! Praise to the Author of Freedom! Thanks to those who support and defend it on earth, but remember the one who conquered death and hell to give us the greatest gift of all--eternity in a place where there isn't any pain, worry, or want. There are good leaders and bad leaders, great and terrible acts, but there will always be just one King. When all has crumbled and burned the truth of his love remains and nothing can separate you from the freedom that lives forever within it and nothing can erase the words he has written. True Love can walk through fire and that's what he did for even the worst of us. Death and hell couldn't hold him. His word is unbreakable, indestructible, and without fault, but he can break any chains that bind; the truth will set you free! Just open the door of your heart; he is the Rock you can stand on when there isn't any other solid ground; he is the quiet voice and will protect you from the storm; you can have faith and trust in him even if everyone turned their backs; he is comfort in times of sorrow; in your darkest hour he is there with you, closer than a brother and your best friend; he understands your pain better than anyone could because he endured more than anyone ever has or will and did it willingly even though he had the power to break the sharpest sword and destroy all who put him to death with just one word; he took it all and faced hell itself for his children and rose from the grave holding the keys to death and hell; he loves you more than anyone else is capable of because he is the very definition of it.
This is perhaps the most stirring vocal production I have ever experienced. I have watched it dozens of times and it still gives me goose bumps. The entire group is just spectacular. David Phelps really unleashes the power of his voice in this one. His vocal control and precision is simply unmatched anywhere. The note he belts at 5:08. is mesmerizing. It's difficult to launch into an upper register power note like that from a standstill, and he executed it perfectly. What a gifted group of musicians and a great gift to all of us.
Thank you for saying what I've felt but have been unable to say it as accurately as you have done it.
That mesmerizing high note is a c-sharp! That’s a half-step ABOVE the classic tenor high C! It is the most amazing key change I have ever heard.
His voice raises the bar to the highest. " His cross stamped pardon on my very soul". What an awesome God!!
gives me goose bumps so Beautiful
David definitely went for it on this song, I dont think many can hit that note
It's not the person singing that draws my attention but what they are singing that means so much to me.
Hello 👋
@@Huffdanny-p2n Good afternoon
@@laurettaalicebrydon Hello good morning 😃🌞☀️ dannyhuffman1962
Zimbabwe approves. I have never heard such great music. I cant wait for heaven and such great singing!!!
I love the reaction of Russ!
Love Jason Crabbs reaction when David hit that high note! Lol
Yes, lol! 5:08 bottom left corner. Just saw it.
This is the best Gaither group ever. Such powerful anointed singers. Faithful, surrendered, loving God, loving others. I miss them singing together!
I'm here, listening to artist after artist...David Phelps, Ivan Parker, The Booth Brothers, Jason Crabb, The Martins, Russ Taft, Sandy Patti, Karen Peck, The Gaither Vocal Band(s) and on and on. American has been SOOOO Blessed by our Heavenly Father. And Bill and Gloria Gaither have done so much to make that possible, not to mention the many great songs they have written. To the musicians, production crew, all who have helped... Thank you for the bottom of my heart.
Tears of joy every time i hear David sing.. And what an angelic voices of these gentlemen. God's love & blessing rain all over the earth through Gaither's gospel..!!! Be blessed..!!!!
I told my daughter that before i die, I would so much love to see the Gaither program in person. I grew up listening to the Gaither trio. My father turned on the electricity, the first time WCTV Tallahassee was ever on the air. We had the Cathedrals, The Florida Boys, The Crab Family, and a host of other musicians. My father was also in a non known group, called The Joyful Singers. They did local stuff, but never made it to any big time act. I did however manage to meet folks like Jimmy D. Young, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. There was one occasion, while I was away at a Christian Summer Camp called "The Wilds", I missed the opportunity to meet Bill and Gloria, when they came through Florida. I just would love to fulfill my own dream of seeing The Gaither Vocal Band, in person. Of course this would only play second fiddle, to the birth of my daughter and grandchildren. The power of God, the presence of the Holy Spirit and the love of Jesus Christ, will guide me through any trials that life has to throw at me.
I hope you finally got a chance to see them in person... 😊
I have wanted to see them in person, so I know how You feel..
Let freedom ring. I'm free to praise God. I'm free to tell others of his beautiful love.
Hi Ruth hope you're okay?
Praise the Lord, this was filmed at Carnegie Hall in New York just several months after the 9/11 and now last month was the 20th year mark since that horrible day in our nation! To God be the glory in all things for He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end!
one of the greatest voices ever in Gospel music is that of Mr. David Phelps, and I mean ever.
+kelton Thomas Without a doubt!

kelton Thomas j
kelton Thomas , I know that's right, I love hearing him sing. He's one of my favorite singers with Gather Vocal Band. I love hearing him hit those high notes. I love David Phelps.
In ANY style of music !!!!
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galations rings out for Freedom through this wonderful version sung by these very talented men and women - so powerful. Praise God. AMEN and AMEN.
As the son of a 40 year Army soldier, this song hits so many chords and touches my heart every time.
Thank your Dad for his service and if he has passed please thank him in prayer. Four year non combat U.S. Army veteran here.
This is a long time favorite song of both my Dad and I. We're not even religious, just fans of great music.
THERE'S NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THAT HIGHT OF DAVID VOICE ...SPECTACULAR , INCOMPARABLE, MELODIOUS VOICE... CAN'T HAVE ENOUGH.
PS..Am i the onlt one who notices how neat and well "well put together" Gus is at the stsrt of the song..by the end the spirit of freedom moved on the order of his person...and its HALLELUJAH TIME FOR HIM..LOVE YOU GUS
Freedom is not free folks. It cost many of my fellow combat veterans all they had for us to be free and most of all it cost Jesus His life for all of us to finally be free like no other freedom on earth. Thanks for posting.
Each time I experience this awesome rendition of this powerful song I weep for what this once great nation has lost. History, wisdom, obedience and sight of the glorious God this nation has ignored and rejected.
May the grace of God be amplified and responsive cords be struck with those who are quickly sinking in the swill of what is left of this world.
There is none like our loving God
This song is thrilling from start to finish. I call it the Halleluia Anthem of Freedom. When one can share in religious liberty, we have to be thankful. Many persons in some countries cannot freely worship. So, this song resonates with me as we do experience religious freedom in our country. Each time I watch/listen, I want to sing out like the Gaithers,"Let freedom ring!" It thrills my every nerve. I stay in "Standing Ovation" mode for a while after. They seem to be singing from the heart and that's what gives me a whole lot of joy.
David Phelps could make singing Happy Birthday an emotional experience! All kidding aside no singer in my lifetime has ever truly touched my soul and spirit like David Phelps. To say that he's annointed is a gross understatement.
I am what Christians call a back slider i turned my back on the Good LORD long ago tho i know my LORD has never turned on me he is always with me. I was born and raised in a Christian home my Beloved MOM & DAD whom worshiped GOD to there last breath did an awesome job by guiding me to that path in JESUS CHRIST. When i hear songs of praise & freedom it reminds me of what i no longer have but know i need to get back too. Getting back to the ways of the LORD have been hard for me LORD knows im trying but i can't break those chains that have me bound. When i hear songs of praise and freedom my spirit moves. This blessed Gruop the Gaither Vocal Band WOW incredible. I dont know his name so I'll say this the brother with the high pitch voice. INCREDIBLE.. To GOD be all the Glory. I pray My Merciful GOD shows me how to get back to his holy & righteous ways and that he allows me to fulfill my purpose b4 i leave this earth. GOD IS SO GOOD. May the good & mighty God guide your path & light's your way. GB....
As long as you turn back to Him, He is always there waiting Manny. I backslid for 7 years and then was so soul sick, I broke down and came back. Remember the story of the prodigal son, he backslid and his father came running to meet him on the road to welcome him back. That is your heavenly father. You confess your sins to Christ, He as the high priest takes it all away and you are renewed and refreshed. Rise up and go forward!!!
@@thedynamicsolo4232 Thank You for your feed back. Im just having a hard time finding my way back. Its like i just dont know what to do. I know GOD is good no one can tell me different. No one can tell me that he does not exist but when it comes to me finding my way back i get lost. But i do appreciate it. Your prayer are welcomed.. Thanks
@ Manny Love, I agree with what TheDynamicsolo has told you. I'm praying for you, and God answers prayer! Remember how the Father welcomed back the prodigal. He RAN to him when he saw him coming home (as I see you've already been told). I'm sure God is answering those prayers of your parents, too, as He has led you to hear this group. BTW, the brother with the high-pitched voice is David Phelps. God has called me to pray for him, too. He's my favorite singer.
@@jacquelinegarrett6052 ThankYou for your response i welcome prayer i do believe God answers prayers. I just can't find the courage to surrender i know my life would change in miraculous ways i think thats what i fear is change. I dont believe in giving the Lord 50% its either a 110% or nothing. Dont know if im making sense but thats where i am. Its mind blowing what i feel when it comes to the ways of God yet i can't surrender. Its crazy. But thanks.
😊0@@bkstar5380
The best version ever of Gaither Vocal Band with Best line- up.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
I get goosebumps every I hear David Phelps make that high note in this song🥺🥺he's truly blessed🙏🙏
His cross stamped pardon on my very soul!!!
Goosebumps every time I hear these words!
His voice hitting the chords are on point!!! So dynamic and powerful voice. David!
We should all rejoice over the cross and what it represents to we Christians as a way for Jesus to provide salvation to the world! Love this song and their talents!
I do not know how many times I have listened to this, many, many. The tears still come to my eyes when David hits that note .... he comes close with "At the Cross".. but this is the best ... the whole scenario, the hall, the time, it is all there.
It does it to me every time .. David has a couple more "home runs" ... Hide Me Thou and At The Cross with the GVB.
Joe, I can't listen without the tears flowing myself. Just proud to be chosen to be one of Gods children, and to live in one of the greatest Country on this planet, where we can sing freely of of what our Lord has done. What a beautiful song.
Agree Joe
@@joedooley5209 Have you heard "Heaven's Shore? or "He is the Reason.?" He's has duets with his daughter Maggie Beth, and his sister (who passed away) that you may have heard.
I just want to tell you what an impact your music, be it the vocal band or the Homecoming videos, has had on my spiritual life. When I tend to walk off my path with Jesus's, your music directs me back. Your influence is awesome and outstanding and I'm sure our most Holy God will bless you all. I look forward to meeting you all in heaven. Thank you,thank you so very much.❤❤❤
If you didn't feel this song in your spirit you diffently need jesus.the hairs on my arms stood up and I felt tingly all over. It's a wonderful feeling to feel his presence. God's blessings to all the Gaither singers you are all special.✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
I have been singing gospel music my entire life, but David Phelps is the best I have ever heard. His ability to not only hit the high notes, but his amazing ability to sustain those notes proves to me that God has annoited him to sing gospel music. He is an amazing talent.
Mr Phelps you never cease to amaze me with your voice!!!!! You truly are remarkable!!
The opening line for Let Freedom Ring was written in Taiwanese by Phillip Newton Jr. The second line was written in Cantonese by me. The third line was written by Amie Beaudreau in the language of Zuni Pueblo (That Pueblo was founded by French astronomers). I wrote the next line was written by Brenda Tesaseque who grew up at Teseque Puebo. I wrote the next line in Portuguese and Shawn Obrien wrote the next line in Spanish. The next line was written Ilken Hildebrand XXI who wrote in Dutch. The next line was written in Italian by Shannon W Tanner. 😮 2:31 2:31

THEME SONG OF MY LIFE!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
SÃO PAULO-BRASIL 🥰 😍 🥰 😍 🥰 😍
The Gaither Vocal Band members of Bill Gaither, Guy Penrod, Mark Lowry and David Phelps are my all-time favorites! God gave each one of them the most amazing and anointing voices that I've ever been blessed to hear. God has especially given David Phelps the most amazing and anointed tenor voices I've been blessed to hear.
I can truly hear them ministering when they sing... The Gaither Vocal Band has given me a peace that I have needed recently.. The enemy has tried to attack my peace but when I listen to Gaither Music it brings back the peace God intends for me to have as His Child... Thank you Gaither Vocal Band...
Only in Christ can true freedom be had.
Mad props to the instrument players because if I was playing and heard David sing his part, I would stop and turn around in awe lol
i love this performance. Have watched it a thousand times and never gets old. David Phelps is the best !!11
Don't forget Russ Taff he's kicking butt with that rich soulful voice. Will always remember Russ when he had his bands and was kicking.
porkyo123 love the way he looks like he will positively pass out near the end he sums up how I feel watching this!
Before he was with the Gaither vocal band, he was with the Imperials; and my favorite song from him is Oh Buddha.
I HAVE READ THAT DAVID PHELPS IS THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME IN THE FIELD OF GOSPEL. THAT HE CHOOSES TO USE HIS VOCAL TALENT IN SUCH A WAY IS AWESOME. I'VE LISTENED TO HIS CONCERTS HE'S PRODUCED AWAY FROM THE GAITHER VOCAL BAND UT REALLY THINK HE SAVES THE MOST EXCITING PERFORMANCES FOR WHEN HE'S WITH THEM AND TRAVELING WITH THE WHOLE SHEBANG, WHICH INCLUDES BEING IN THESE VIDEOS.
WHY are you YELLING?????
With so many souls slaves of addiction, trapped in a hell of their own making, and countless others oppressed by Satan. I pray just now for Christ's power to break their chains and set those captives free! "...Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God, EVERYTHING is possible." Matthew 19:26
all GAITHER Band singers are blessed with tremendous voices... HALLELUJAH TO GOD...
Deep within the heart has always known that there was freedom
Somehow breathed into the very soul of life
The prisoner, the powerless, the slave have always known it
There's something that keeps reaching for the sky
And even life begins because a baby fights for freedom
And songs we love to sing have freedom's theme
Some have walked through fire and flood to find a place of freedom
And some faced hell itself for freedom's dream
Let freedom ring wherever minds know what it means to be in chains
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
We can be free and we can sing, let freedom ring
God built freedom into every fiber of creation
And He meant for us to all be free and whole
When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption
His cross stamped pardon on my very soul
I'll sing it out with every breath, I'll let the whole world hear it
This hallelujah anthem of the free
That iron bars and heavy chains can never hold us captive
The Son has made us free and free indeed
Let freedom ring down through the ages from a hill called Calvary
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
You can be free and you can sing, let freedom ring, let freedom ring
😢
I agree -Anthony Burger is greatly missed-but went to heaven praising Jesus..
Just listen to Michael Phelps hit that glorious high tenor melodies he has been blessed by God to use for His glory......Guy Penrod is the tall grey haired Texan that hits some great notes as well........But nothing can even come close to Phelps!.....I listen to his music on the computer every night before I retire.....thanking the Lord for all His wonderful gifts....have to admit that tears come to my eyes when Phelps take over.....truly a great gift from the Lord......
Tim Feaster I listen every morning and evening as a part of my meditation with God and every experience feels the same ...God has blessed these guys ...David brings tears to my eyes I just thank God he choose to use this gift to honor God
Dahlia I couldn't agree more with your reply~
I, too, have tears running when listening to this spirit of the Lord flowing thru His chosen person David. I have read where he is the top ranked tenor in the world now. I watched his Italian opera presentation on RUclips and was just amazed. The Lord certainly has blessed him immensely with this unbelievable voice, and like you, am so glad he chose to use for the Glory & Grace of God~
Tim Feaster
Let us continue to pray for each other...our Lord is coming back to claim us let us be ready.
You know, since I found this song on RUclips, I've listened to it every single day, since. What power, what majesty, oh my LORD, let freedom ring!!!
5:09 Goosebumps 👌Russ Taff... Literally dancing when David Phelps hit the high ♩ note...
Top 5 song of the GVB for sure - this version is absolutely the best. One thing I just notice in this time watching it - the look on Jason Crabb's face when David Phelps hits that unbelievable blind keychange at the end is priceless .... "you have to be kidding me!". :)
This is my favorite GVB combo singing this wonderful patriotic spiritual
Praise God for the freedom we have in Jesus to no longer be held captive to the judgment of our own sin! He became what we WERE....that we might have what HE IS!!
Guess I have listened to "Let Freedom Ring" over 20 times this Independence Day week. David Phelps, you are the best.
Hi NIla hope you're okay?
Can't get any better!!! We all will miss the Gaither 's and the whole group that sings with them. Just imagine what Heaven is going to sound like???!!!!
Glory!!!
Amen
Glory to God in the highest! This may have been performed in 2012, but it was meant for right now! It's not about the awesome voices, it's about the anointing of God on the song itself!
I'm not sure who is enjoying doing this hymn more the GVB or Anthony Burger. They all walk with God holding their hands!
David Phelps is so incredibly gifted to bring any song to life. Each of the GVB contributes genuinely of their God given talents and its through the Holy Spirit they can bring the walls down . Thank you each one GVB !
Hi Rebecca hope you're okay?
@@Huffdanny-p2n totally well ! And yourself!
@@rebeccamurphy6814 I’m okay as well, it’s my pleasure meeting you.. by the way how is the weather over there now ??
@@rebeccamurphy6814 Hello ??
I cannot watch this enough. No one brings an anthem home like David Phelps.
