Not many people know that the song is a spiritual.

Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?

For those who, like me, might be curious:

Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!

In the south, where it is considered blasphemous to dance to a spiritual tune, no matter how jaunty, that video would thin out the population.

I don't know

, it looks pretty mild compared to a lot of stuff they show.....even on TV they can get awful obnoxious.....seems "entertainment" is rated as to how many folks they can offend

Unless you are in a black Baptist Church where they celebrate the Lord with dance as well as song.

I have been in a few but have not witnessed dance yet. But they sure can make a joyful noise unto The Lord.

Bethel Church in Redding CA not only has dancers, but artists that do prophetic panting during worship. They also have silent intercessors on stage who are praying. We serve a joyful God who enjoys watching his children celebrate. There are some versus in scripture where the translation from Hebrew to English doesn't really give a good meaning. For instance, the phrase "I will call upon the Lord and he will answer", the word answer, in Hebrew, actually means "sing songs concerning". So, when you pray, can you imagine Jesus breaking out into songs concerning you? Well, He does. Stunning, isn't it!!
