Rev. Coley I have followed you since the days of Rev. James Cleveland. You have been phenomenal in your message about Christ. Call it old school if you will, but I too share your concerns for the current music that is so loosely label "gospel." If there is no "good news" in it about the works of Christ it is not "gospel." May God bless you with health and strength as you continue in His service!

Rev. Coley,
You have been a blessing to all of those who have heard you sing. God has saw favor in you and has anointed you with a voice of an angle. You are indeed a living testimony not only because of your talent, but you have trust God for everything that he promised that he would do for you. When they say the faith of a mustard seed, that's you. I pray that God will continue blessing and keeping you, and one day I hope to meet you.
Keep preaching God's word and he will truly deliver you as He has already done. God Bless you Pastor Coley.

When I listen to the lyrics and your heart expresses through music a love for God and to edify his people I am truly encouraged. I want you to know that my family is always praying for you that the Lord heals you, sustains you, carries you, and blesses you in His Will for your life. . . .

I love and appreciate Rev. Coley. So happy to hear that God is yet moving in and through him. Divine health and completeness of the healing work. I sang in Baton Rouge, LA with him in the early 90's at Pastor Howards' church with Rev. Coley's workshop choir, as part of that church. I will never forget his instructions and grace. Continue in him sir. I am pastoring in Portland, OR. Our love and continued prayers. KEEP SINGING, PREACHING AND LIVING!

My son background in a concert with this magnificent artist. I wish I coud see that performance again. I don't know if it was recorded. His wife was with him and had overcome an illness and he was so happy about that, I love his music it is like none other. God bless you.

since the age of 17 i've been a big fan of yours; your voice is different than any others i have known because it has the anointing of God on it. the lyrics to your songs reach the depth of what i go through; there is a song on the "When the Music Stops" cd called "Jesus Never Fails." there was a period in time that i did not have a job and i was feeling pretty bad about myself. i kept listening to that song i came to remind myself that Jesus never fails and he will always fulfill his promises to me. i tell you sir that i cried and cried because that song touched me so. i endeavor to sing with the same fevor of the Holy Spirit as you. Please never stop letting the Lord use you!!! continuing to pray for your healing; i know that the Lord will do it for you!!!
Thank you sir for making my senior year in High School and easy one.

Mr. Coley,
Scrolling down this page trying to find "In the arms of Jesus" from the Azusa, I suddenly realized that it is God and God alone that makes you so exceptionally different from every other voice. The amount of compliments from this page alone is amazing. I heard your music about 15 years ago and I never forgot you and now I find myself in this pit called earth via america running to hear Jesus' name in songs. What I am saying is that 15 years ago I did not think I would say the name of Jesus so much. I could stand some more forging but I just cannot get enough of Jesus. You changed my life because YOU believe in Jesus.

Being blessed to spend time with you thru the Bobby Jones circuit, I know the man. Not only are you a man of men, an awesome singer, I had the opportunity to see you preach at workshop in Chicago. As God was taking me to my new level in Him "preparing me" was and still is my theme song. I love you with the love of Christ, and I will never forget you realness awesome man of God.

I introduced my young 15 year old son to your music and he is now a lover of your songs. Thanks for indirectly guiding him through your ministry of songs. May GOD continue to richly bless you in and through all of your endeavors

Dear Daryl;
We were just discussing you at work and found out that a musician had not heard your phenominal Soverign. It is one of my all time favorites and I saw this article. As you know the Bible tells us that By HIS Stripes we were healed. Keep Praising GOD because you already have the Victory! Keep Singing
