Bishop Leonard Scott - Live From Alabama

My Body Belongs To God, about our bodies being temples of the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:19), throws in a double treat, Since I Laid My Burdens Down. The effervescent Lillian Lilly, an original member of Mississippi Mass Choir, and company stake their claim in the name of Jesus for healing and financial bondage during Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross.

Elder Jamal Strong (Message Ministry in Music Conference), with his rich tenor, leads the worshippers in a bound of glory for He Is Lord.

Leaning on His will, A Charge To Keep I Have has the church building stirring with Janie Jenkins’ spunky delivery. Bishop Scott’s First Lady, Christine’s touching rendition of Great Is Thy Faithfulness, causes us to think about our humility.

Blessed Assurance, anchored by the soulful LaChelle Kelly, slowly grinds its way to a Gospel romp. Can we get a final amen? No problem. Scott and Prince Yelder dig their claws in on Curtis Mayfield’s Amen (co-written by John Pate).

Under the direction and on-point arrangements of Minister Velder from the group DFC, New Hope Baptist Choir along with members of DFC, holds their own with precious embellishments and assured harmonies. With the exception of Sing Unto The King, the first radio single, there’s old-fashioned, riveting church service without modern day production gimmicks. Kudos to Bishop Scott for Hymns & Church Songs, rekindling a piece of Christian music history, a big dose of spiritual refreshment, and smiles all the way around.
