There is a FOUNTAIN- Pastor E.Dewey Smith Jr. Singing HYMN
#thereisafountainfilled #hymns #churchhymns
The Rev. E. Dewey Smith Jr. bangs on the pulpit with his fist. He shuts his eyes and moans. Then a high-pitched sound rises from his throat like the wail of a boiling tea-kettle.
"I wish you'd take the brakes off and let me preach," he tells his congregation during his Sunday morning sermon.
Rows of parishioners stand to shout. One woman in a satiny blue dress jumps up and down like she's on a pogo stick. A baby starts to cry.
Smith had already given his congregation the "meat" of his message: scriptural references, archaeological asides, modern application -- all the fancy stuff he learned in seminary. Now he was about to give them the gravy.
It was the time to "whoop."
"One Tuesday morning, I heard the voice of Jesus saying, 'C'mon unto me and rest," Smith shouts as he punctuates his delivery with a series of guttural gasps and shrieks backed up by an organist's riffs. "But can I tell you what I did? I came to Jesus, just as I was. And I found in him joy in sorrow. Somebody shout yes. Yeessssss!"
To whoop or not whoop?
Smith may have sounded like he was screaming. But those who grew up in the African-American church know better. He was whooping. He was practicing an art form that's divided the black church since slavery.
Whooping is a celebratory style of black preaching that pastors typically use to close a sermon. Some church scholars compare it to opera; it's that moment the sermon segues into song.
Whooping pastors use chanting, melody and call-and-response preaching to reach parishioners in a place where abstract preaching cannot penetrate, scholars say.
Whooping preachers aim "to wreck" a congregation by making people feel the sermon, not just hear it, says the Rev. Henry Mitchell, a scholar who identified the link between whooping and African oral traditions.
"The old folks used to say, 'If you ain't felt nothing, you ain't got nothing,''' Mitchell says.
Yet the black church has long been ambivalent about whooping. Some scholars say contemporary black churches are abandoning whooping because they think it's crass. But more white preachers are discovering it through KZread and by sharing the pulpit with black preachers.
The most persistent debate over whooping revolves around its legitimacy. Is it fair to call it an art form? What's so hard about a preacher screaming and sweating in the pulpit?
Those are the critics who say whoopers are minstrels, not ministers.
"The hairs on the back of my neck stand up when people say that," says the Rev. Martha Simmons, a whooping preacher and scholar. "It is a genuine art form."
Simmons says the best whoopers use their voices like instruments. They're following rules of rhythm, tone and melody. All good whoopers have some "music" in their throat, says Simmons, editor of "Preaching with Sacred Fire," an anthology of black sermons dating back to 1750.
If you think whooping is easy, Simmons says, try listening to a preacher who can't whoop but tries to anyway.
"It's like listening to someone try to sing opera who is not an opera singer," she says. "It's a train wreck."

The older gospel songs always make me cry!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
There is something about pastor Smith when he sings these songs especially this one. I played this song in my car on Utube while I drive for over 70 Miles, it brings the anointing all over my body while driving its brings such a nice feeling in my Mind Soul and Body.
Thank you for singing about the blood of Jesus because the only time my church sings about the blood and the cross and Jesus himself is on communion Sunday. Keep these old traditional Gospel songs going because we need them today more than ever
Even in 2024 the lyrics are still as relevant and hymn still a blessing
I've never heard of someone's blood being celebrated for such a long time and every time this blood is still fresh, removing guilty stains! Thank you Pastor Smith for this redintion which is a constant reminder. Thank you Jesus for the blood🙏
Pastor E. Dewey always take us to church!!!❤
I still come back to this song. It blesses me every time!!
This is a song from my childhood church. I searched KZread to find a video where a choir sang it the way we used to, and this was by far the best! They sang it so beautifully it literally brought tears to my eyes.

I plunged beneath that flood! Thank YOU Father!!
Pastor Smith is my favorite hymn singer other than my daddy! My daddy is an old school country pastor who sings all these songs before he preaches. Even before he was pastoring he always sung these songs and they touch my heart every time! Thank you for this video! Blessings upon blessings! 🙏🏽
And sinners plunge beneath the flood, lose all their guilty stains!! Nothing but the blood!! Thank you a Lord!

❤❤ Oh LORD , help us on our journey, help us along our way . “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:20) ❤❤
"For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;" Ephesians 2:14 KJV "Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace;" Ephesians 2:15 KJV "And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh." Ephesians 2:17 KJV "And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;" Ephesians 6:15 KJV
You are right about that... it still works. If me, an intellectual-minded former Atheist can plunge beneath the flood... and lose all his guilty stains... ANYONE can.... Didn't think it was possible, BUT GOD.

My, my!! Lose ALL their guilty stains! Thank YOU LORD, for the FOUNTAIN! God bless you Pastor Smith and congregation. -Bryan
1. There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins; and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains; and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. 2. The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away. Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away; and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.

Love Pastor E. Dewey Smith's Old School Soul, and Old School Church.
This song will always remind me of a very special pastor I had growing up. Dr. Todd Morris. He used to love this song and didn't sing all the time, but when he did it was one of his go tos. A country preacher with a personality! Could give paint picures and tell stories with sweet words that touched the heart. In the early 2010's he lost the battle with cancer and threw off corruption and put on incorruption. Threw off mortality and put on immortality. He was a great pastor and one of my regrets in life is not making it known enough that he meant that much to me because at the time I was in my mid teens when he died. What a beautiful song and sang very well by this pastor. If you take anything from this be sure to let people who make a difference and mean something to you know that they do as often as you can.
I just love this song; touches my heart! I love hymns better than anything, they speak to my heart. I didn’t know that when I was a child, but life teaches us all in time! Praise the Lord!!

My God My God My God 🙌🏾
If somehow you have lost your way, I tell you today, call on the name of Jesus and get back in place. HE is waiting with open arms. HE loves you and there isn't anything that you've done that he won't forgive.
I so wished churches would continue with the hymns those are the songs that have kept me and is keeping me... this is my foundation.. one of my favorite hymns ever..

There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel’s veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains: Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away: Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed ones of God Be saved, to sin no more: Be saved, to sin no more, Be saved, to sin no more; Till all the ransomed ones of God, Be saved to sin no more. 4 E’er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die: And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die; Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy power to save: I’ll sing Thy power to save, I’ll sing Thy power to save; Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy power to save.

Another verse, not well known, but nevertheless is my favorite. "I do believe, I will believe, That Jesus died for me. That on the cross He shed his blood, From sin to set me free. From sin to set me free From sin to set me free. That on the cross He shed his blood From sin to set me free."

Why do some of you think people need to be jumping and shouting an foaming at the mouth to be "anointed?" This is a worship song... Not a praise song. This one deserves reverence and seriousness and heartfelt devotion to God and I'm sorry if your eyes aren't watered or your ears aren't tickled but don't condemn the worship of others. Dead to you may be alive to God.
Amen, praise The Lord Jesus Christ. Praising Him with you.
