Every time I,

Every time I,
think about Jesus,
Every time I,

Surely He died, on Calvary
Having heard this song sung, and having sung it, I must apologize for my inability to
express its beauty in the twelve notes of our
scale. Apparently the African-American tradition offers a more comprehensive scale, which adds greatly to this type of music. Still, I hope to have shared a simple song of faith. |
