@pianista21df By the way Geron Davis is an incredible talent. He wrote wrote "Holy Ground" and "In the Presence of Jehovah". He is no novice.

This song was written by the farther of gospel music Rev Thomas A Dorsey.

I've taught this to my students--they will be singing it as the finale in our Easter program. :)

@angelmrpaul It's true he was not moving with the beat of the music anyone could see that.

@ningrn1 Nobody is being racist please stop being so sensitive and walk in love my friend, it's quite alright to make comments we are free to do that. Doris and Jesse taught the crowd along with Bill Gather something very important in the black church tradition. I love Bill Gather, he just didn't know how to sing the song correctly and most of the audience saw that along with Doris Akers. Bill Gaither even commented on that himself. :-)

This song was the processional for the Sky Pilot Choir. You had to be there to hear it sung as they marched in. It was much slower, then after the invocation, it sped up like on this video. I have many fond memories of the church, Dr. Aubrey Lee, who was the Pastor, the Sutton Sisters of which Shirley was the organist for the choir. I will never forget those wonderful services, Doris and the choir. Doris was so gifted. I'm sure she is enjoying her heavenly reward now.
