I know this is an African American hymn. I hope you will let us share it with you. It gives me hope. We are all on the dark side now, yet we are Stronger Together. You need me and I need you.

I read a post a short time ago, vets took a knee to the Sioux. My thoughts? America should have taken a knee to you a long long time ago.

2. In my very diverse church ....

we have a supplemental hymnal to the main Episcopal hymnal. This supplemental hymnal is known as LEVAS, which stands for Lift Every Voice and Sing. We have a choirmaster from New Orleans that really understands the music. LEVAS has many traditional American hymns, including many African-American hymns, like Precious Lord, My Hope is Built on Nothing Less, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, etc.

Here is another great version.

3. I went to a communion a few months back...

I am not a church goer anymore. Yes Episcopal hymnal as well as the supplemental ..I was bored with the service and read the intro to the book. A history of the songs. I wanted to take it with me to read more.

Thank you for the video link, kwassa.

4. My church is not boring ...

not to try to sell you on religion or anything. We are a big social justice church. Extremely liberal. The entire diocese is very liberal, and welcoming to all. Great music, too. And fun.

5. I was very much into church through college...

I lost that. I may in the coming days go back.
