Precious Lord, Take my Hand
Mahalia Jackson
This week I have two links for you.
Link #1: https://youtu.be/as1rsZenwNc »
The first is the video link above, and the second that you will find below is a lovely telling of the story behind this hymn, as told by Southern Methodist University Distinguished Professor of Church Music in the Perkins School of Theology, C. Michael Hawn. Since his resume outranks me by….well…a Doctorate or so, I thought I would edify this column by calling upon other wisdom and words this week.
