Banjer: I am not sure whether we agree or disagree. Probably we agree. In any case, I guess "Gospel" is a good short word for "Protestant Christian Church music," and so yield the point.

Lin in Kansas: You raise 2 points:

1. Are you saying the song is already on DT? I searched for it earlier, using several different selections from the lyrics as well as the title. Searched for it this minute, using "lay aside the garments," "stained with sin," and "friendly power." Nothing. Earlier, tried "soul cleansing blood." Nothing. Perhaps we have access to different Digitrads.

2. I certainly did not mean to suggest that the individuals who select songs for DT are biased against religious music. I an quite sure they aren't. I think such a bias pervades many of the social groups from which the overall folk-music subculture (incuding me) is drawn, so that people do not submit hymns for inclusion in DT.
