This takes me back to being 5 or 6. I would sing my heart out to this song. I was a teenager when I finally got the words right, as a little kid I would just moan, but I knew I was singing my hear out to my God. Thank you for this post, I was blessed by it!

I just closed my eyes, and listened. Think about the first time that song was sung. It's a negro spiritual, so it wasn't made in the best of times. Think about how deeply this song affects you, then think about what "they" felt when they sung it. It is one of the purest forms of hope ever felt through a community. They probably never saw freedom all those hundreds of years ago, but it survived all the way to this day, where our very own president wears their skin. Now.....listen to it again.

Lord, I'm 16 and I've never fully experienced the struggles of our people. But I tell u one thing, I can feel every emotion that comes with this song, it moves you, especially as an African American, it takes you back and fills your spirit. After all the storms we have been through, the lord has heard our cry. Wow, it makes me appreciate when I was born, it makes me appreciate my privileges, and of course our President even more.

Yes Lord I miss these songs being sung in the church. When I was a little girl and they would sing this and I didnt know why everybody would be crying and such and now I do know whats its all about. Thnk you JESUS for hearing my cry.

Love this song but the person screaming is annoying ,but still gets the message across.

Thank you so much for posting. I am a child of the sixties, and I watched my matriarch sing this in church in Mississippi, and I never knew the words, but the feeling I got that has followed me through adulthood, was that the members all shared a commonality of sheer sorrow from the tribulations of the South. I knew my family had seen the issues of civil rights and had been through boycotts, picketing, and segregation...I listen to this, and am back at Salem Baptist Church as a child.
