We're singing Precious Lord, Take My Hand this week in church [View all]
Our choir is on break for the summer, and we're having a pick-up choir of anyone who shows up early enough to rehearse. So of course, I had to do that. (I have a fairly decent voice but no real breath control, and I can't read music. Just what you need in a choir, right?)
So anyway, we're singing from the African American hymnal (Lift Every Voice and Sing). Two songs: Go Down Moses, which I know, and Precious Lord, Take My Hand, which I just had to check out on YouTube because I wasn't familiar with it.
OMG, it's so beautiful. I don't think I can get through it without bawling. I'm going to be an emotional mess.
I should mention I'm Episcopalian--one of God's frozen people. We aren't into emotional displays, although everyone in my church is lovely and affectionate with each other. I guess I'd better pack tissues.
