  • Sing Y'All!

    

  • Thx for the posting!!! I never knew who sung this song...I just remember hearing it around the early 80's...and I am reminded of the verses concerning dividing the land in the OT and the Levites portion....yes, this pilgrim journey....

  • I cannot explain to you how much it means to have this music available to me. I grew up listening to this music. My Mom traveled with the choir in the 80s. I was there when they first sang this song. I was there when they recorded it. I was at the rehearsals. This is my life.

  • I love this song!

  • Thank you so much for posting this video. It brought back so many memories. I remember hearing it at the GMWA. I had the Philadelphia Mass Choir's album and lost it in Katrina. Hearing songs such as this confirms my faith and belief in God.

  • soo much soul, its overwhelming. the closest i've gotten to the 05 women's all state choir, that girl from there was soooo amazing!, and she was only 16 made me cry every time. this girl is still amazing, but if the all state had this choir to back her up, I would be just in heaven, GReAT! i love this! this choir gives me chills

  • Debra Ford was the original soloist.
