    The deep richness of the soloist voice draws you in. I felt the story of the song being told and he shook me.

    Bro, I’m in the car with versions of the song playing and when it gets to this one I’m like why can’t I hear the words and then I look real quick and I noticed people are wearing mask and I’m just like oh that makes sense but it’s still good!!!

    1 am a pilgrim, a pilgrim of sorrow
    I'm left in this wide world, this wide world alone
    Ain't got no hope, got no hope for tomorrow I'm trying to make it, make heaven my home
    Sometimes I just don't know, which way to turn
    I heard of a city, of a city called heaven I'm trying to make it, make heaven my home
    Sometimes I just don't know, which way to turn
    I heard of a city, of a city called heaven
    I'm trying to make it, make heaven my home

    My hope is that they know the and history of this negro spiritual. It’s not just a song to sing because it sounds good or gives chills.

      The people who would sing this spiritual were enslaved, and they quite literally could only hope for death. After death would come heaven, which is everlasting peace with God

      With Tom Trenney as the Minister of Music (at the piano in this video), you can bet your bottom dollar that the singers understand and respect the history of this body of music, variously called Negro Spirituals, Jubilee Songs, Sorrow Songs, and, more modernly, African American Spirituals.

    As a trained musician congregant, I would SO appreciate it if your team could put up the words the choir is singing so we could all enjoy the lyrics also.

    It's always fun to see the general race distribution of the choir when they mention this song being a black spiritual
