Thanks for the link. I like PP&M but I never heard this one. It’s very good and faithful to scripture.
I listen to oldies stations and I’m always surprised how much of scripture and Christianity made it into old pop and folk tunes.
I think it is a “Negro Spiritual”, a genre from which P,P,& M drew heavily. We used to sing them a lot, before it became “politically incorrect”.
Here are a few others, either genuine or written in the style of the “Negro Spiritual”.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
Jesus Met The Woman
Michael, Row the Boat Ashore
Amen, Amen
Deep River
Who dat Touchin’ My Garment?
If I Had a Hammer
Samson & Delilah (by the Grateful Dead!)
Standin’ In The Need of Prayer
Go Down Moses (Let My People Go)
Turn, Turn, Turn (by Pete Seeger...YIKES! Based on Ecclesiastes)
