One of my Mom & Dad’s favorite Dorsey hymns.. I never paid all that much attention to it, but Mom wanted someone to sing it at her funeral. My cousin, the late Rev. Rick Cordial, did us that great honor in his own inimitable fashion … so bone chilling was his version.
My Mom’s love for the song paired with my Dad’s request for its appearance on this gospel album made it a no brainer. I had planned on it being just a duet between the great Don Rigsby & myself, but I decided to stair step the parts. I couldn’t have Bradley Walker in the
studio & not get him to sing on one more!
