First Lady of Gospel

HE WILL COME is Shirley Caesar's album of a lifetime. Recorded entirely live, HE WILL COME, distills the perfection of a studio recording with the excitement of Shirley, her choir and band, and an on-fire congregation brought together to have serious church. Recording live gives me freedom, says Shirley. I dont have to stand in a studio behind a microphone. I can truly let go and let God in, with no restrictions. This recording session allowed me to really minister...to really be myself...to be just Shirley. The enemy would have us think were waging a losing battle, declared Shirley, but Im not gonna stop. Im on the winning team, and because of that Im not gonna give up, Im not gonna give in, and God knows, Im not gonna give out. Because He will come. He is coming. And everyday we need to bear that in mind and prepare for it.

If Hold My Mule was indeed the beginning of that journey, then HE WILL COME is its full, glorious realization. HE WILL COME is Shirley Caesar doing what she does best...being just Shirley. And theres not a doubt that her mom, from her own place in heaven, is smiling down on her girl.

He Will Come: Live...

1. He Will Come: The song has a strong, spoken-word story that accompanies it, in the tradition of Shirleys signature song, Hold My Mule, originally released in 1987. Both songs combine music, ministry and message delivered in a way that only Shirley Caesar can. In the eight years since Mule became a modern-day Gospel classic, a morally decaying society has only continued to crumble and self-destruct. But this song states in no uncertain terms Pastor Caesars strong sense that the Lords return is imminent, and her unshakable determination to continue to fight the good fight.

2. Tithes And Offerings: Tithes & Offerings uses a punch groove to convey serious and practical advice to honor material commitments to the Lord. If you wanna be blessed, give your tithes and offerings, Shirley explains. If you want more, give it to the poor, and the Lord will give it back to you. You can never out-give God.

3. Heaven

4. Patiently Waiting: Patiently Waiting is a heart-rending ballad prompting the disheartened to keep faith with God

5. Waiting Revive Us Again Continuing in spiritual high gear, Revive Us Again, is a joyous call to rebirth and renewal in the Lord.
