I know this is an African American hymn. I hope you will let us share it with you. It gives me hope. We are all on the dark side now, yet we are Stronger Together. You need me and I need you.
I read a post a short time ago, vets took a knee to the Sioux. My thoughts? America should have taken a knee to you a long long time ago.

(23,340 posts)we have a supplemental hymnal to the main Episcopal hymnal. This supplemental hymnal is known as LEVAS, which stands for Lift Every Voice and Sing. We have a choirmaster from New Orleans that really understands the music. LEVAS has many traditional American hymns, including many African-American hymns, like Precious Lord, My Hope is Built on Nothing Less, Leaning on the Everlasting Arms, etc.
Here is another great version.

Thank you for the video link, kwassa.

(23,340 posts)not to try to sell you on religion or anything. We are a big social justice church. Extremely liberal. The entire diocese is very liberal, and welcoming to all. Great music, too. And fun.
