Yolanda Adams takes the stage next, delivering a powerful performance of her classic hit "The Battle Is Not Yours." Her soaring vocals and inspirational message bring the audience to its feet, and she's soon joined by Hezekiah Walker, who leads the choir in a rousing rendition of "Every Praise."

Throughout the show, there are several standout moments, including Richard Smallwood's tender performance of "Total Praise" and Erica Campbell's dynamic rendition of her hit single "Help." There are also plenty of surprises, such as a soulful duet between Michelle Williams and Deitrick Haddon and a lively performance by gospel rap pioneer Lecrae.

The show's finale is an epic performance of "Total Praise" featuring all of the night's performers, led by Olrick Johnson. The entire audience joins in, singing along and clapping to the beat, as the show ends on a high note.

Overall, Celebration of Gospel 2014 is a powerful tribute to the enduring legacy of gospel music.
