Sing along and go DOWN HOME for Easter.
I know that I know that I know...
Just posting our beautiful music for you to check out and get blessed real good.
MP3 music by Ensemble Mgmt. Christian artists is available for listening here. We hope our spiritual side shows the love of God in Christ Jesus.
Story behind the song
It is the middle of the Lenten season. Mardi Gras is over. St. Patrick's Day is just another excuse to party --for some people. Well, rejoice! Easter is only a few weeks away.
This is a song that we usually sing at the end of communion, or instead of the canticle. It is #267 in the African American Heritage Hymnal from GIAmusic.com in the key of F. I've lowered it to Eb, the key in which I've been playing it in churches for years.
As usual, keyboardist Chuck Abernethy explores simple rhythm, style and texture in this electric piano and drum (machine) "duet." Enjoy the music.
I know that I know that I know... ...who saved us from sin and death and the grave: Jesus Christ, the Son of of the living God! Have a Happy Easter celebrating the resurrection of Christ the Lord this year and always.
