There are two major choirs at the University, as far as I can remember. The choir singing here is the beautiful FAMU "Concert" Choir, and I am a former member of the lovely FAMU "Gospel" Choir. Twinkie Clark and the Clark Sisters recorded a CD with the FAMU "Gospel" Choir in 1995.
This is an excellent arrangement of the Philedelphia Mass Choir's arrangement. I like how some of the parts were changed to make it your own. Good job
Is there sheet Music for this. I have been teaching for over 10 years and I have not heard anything like this before. I would love to brings this to my choirs.
GREG! I hope you get this. LOVE YOU! always will.. I was in your chior in NJ too! Youth of Praise! Those were the days and I too learned soooo much! Be blessed!
I'm sorry but Christ's blood was spilled on the ground at the foot of calvary's cross. It was not collected into a fountain. Nor was it retained in a pool we can take a cleansing bath in. Nor was it deposited into an account we can make withdrawls upon. Heb.9:22 says apart from the shedding of blood, God can not now, nor ever could, forgive anyone's sins merely because they ask Him to. And Heb.10:10 says it has already been shed once and for all. So stop asking God to do what He's already done !
It's not to be taken literally - it's just saying that Christ's blood (sacrifice) always and easily accessible if you'll just take the step of faith - it's symbolic...
Okay. I get the idea it's symbolic. But do you see the hypocrisy ? Because I find it quite ironic while most Christians have eyes to see the allegory in this song, they are also simultaneously (but yet not surprisingly) somehow blind to see how the exact selfsame metaphor has manifested and played itself out in their own relationship with God (when what they should be doing is thanking Him instead for the complete and total forgiveness He's already provided for at Calvary some 2000 years ago) !
