Mahalia Jackson - The Lord is my light

[TalkAboutLove2]

Beautiful song! I featured this video at One Year Bible Blogging on facebook with the following verse! Thanks for putting this together and sharing! Blessings.

Proverbs 6:23b-24a;"this teaching is a light, and the corrections of discipline are the way to life, keeping you from the immoral woman(false religion?)" Psalm 27:1-6b;"The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear?...though war break out against me, even then will I be confident...I will sacrifice with shouts of joy"

Could anyone detail for me or help me find the lyrics for this song?

Please tell me who composed the music to this!!! Mahalia sang it so beautifully....the last time I heard this arrabgement was by a soloist in the methodist church that I grew up in, in the mid-6o's. I would love to have the music to this!!! Would anyone like to help??? please! G-d Bless!

@notinsane52 The composer is Frances Allitsen ... and if you are lucky, you can find a free score on the web... I think I tracked one down in a university library somewhere in Australia... Good luck!

A beautiful arrangement and rendition of a powerful song. Mahalia sings with such depth of spirit, it shakes one's foundations.
