phrases of the traditional spiritual This Little
Light of Mine launch this exciting work into

let the light that You've given me die, And
don't desert my mind. But let the one who
serves You Praise You again and again." The
repeated responses "He lives in us as True
Light" and "God gave the world True Light"
give solid impact to every phrase. School and
church choirs will revel in the spiritual depth
and driving rhythmic feel of this extraordinarily
soulful choral!
