Everybody knows there's power in music. It's just as powerful at the altar as anyplace else.
I'm developing a soundtrack for my altar time.
- Surely He Died On Calvary by Rev. James Cleveland (not sure why, except that it makes my hair stand on end; it's partly the wailing harmonies in the background as Rev. Cleveland sings. But the rest of it is: Jesus knows.)
- Satan, We're Going to Tear Your Kingdom Down by Shirley Caesar (I like to add: Black candles gonna burn your kingdom down!)
- "Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel?" - haven't selected a version yet, but it's a good old spiritual with a proud universalist message.
- Lord, Do It by Rev. James Cleveland (...while this candle's still burning, Lord!)
- You Can Make It by Shirley Caesar - pay close attention to the lyrics.
- How I Got Over by the Clara Ward Singers
- Or maybe by Mahalia Jackson
- And something by the Swan Silvertones or the Golden Gate Quartet, haven't made up my mind yet.
