Thread Name: Songs of Strength & Determination
Subject: RE: Songs of Srength & Determinatiion
I can only remember fragments of another spiritual, but the wrds that I do remember have given me strength to keep on moving when I really didn't think I could go on. I'm not sure what the name of this song really is, but I call it "I'm Determined".
I'M DETERMINED I'm determined to run this race. I'm determined to see the master's face . I'm determined for when I'm in doubt- I know the Lord will bring me out.
[usually I repeat these words one other time and then sing some other excepts from spirituals or other songs with related {for me} themes]
Note: the word "master" is elongated and sung "ma-a-ster's face" with the word "master" rhyming with "faster"
Does anyone here know this song? I'm curious what other verses go with it. And is this really a spiritual or is it a gospel song? I'm assuming gospels came after spirituals, but I really don't know if there is a dividing line in years or styles between spirituals and {early??} gospel songs.
????
Thanks in advance for any information and examples that you share.
