All Good Things Will Be Added Unto You!

Am I the only one who still gets goose bumps whenever I see this episode of the Cosby Show? Are you familiar? It’s the episode when Cliff and Claire Huxtable bring their children to their alma mater, Hillman College. In this episode, Cliff is participating in a ceremony honoring the retiring President of Hillman, and Claire leads the Hillman Glee Club in a soul-stirring rendition of “All Good Things Will Be Added Unto You.” 

I don’t know what it is, but since I was a child, this episode has always moved me. Is the fact that I absolutely love and admire the characters that are the Huxtables? Is it the fact that Mrs. Huxtable is singing in historic Sister’s Chapel at Spelman College, which would inevitably become my beloved alma mater? Is it the song’s lyrics? I don’t know what it is, but every time I see this episode, I get a little misty-eyed. I can’t help but share this with you all. 

For your convenience, I have added the lyrics to this song below…extremely powerful! Have a great Saturday!

All Good Things Will Be Added Unto You - by Shelton Becton

Seek ye first the kingdom of His love

Make Him first in everything you do

If you'll just trust and never doubt what He said

All Good Things Will Be Added Unto You.

He's got everything you need

All He ask is that you heed

And be faithful till the very end

When that judgment day has come

Don't you want to be the one

Just to see his face and call him friend

Seek ye first the kingdom of His love

Make Him first in everything you do

If you'll just trust and never doubt what He said

All Good Things Will Be Added Unto You
