Quick Overview

Ken Medema borrows the chorus from this well-known African-American spiritual and adds contemporary lyrics in this poignant plea for racial justice and personal repentance. He adds jazzy pianistic flourishes, light percussion, and an improvised solo vocal line over the traditional chorus, which is sung by the choir of the St. John United Church of Christ in Kankakee, Illinois. This piece is suitable for multiple types of gatherings and worship services.
