Lovely picking in the intro. Wonderful lyric. Beautiful arrangement; nicely recorded; strong singing. I think this could offer an effective singalong chorus.

Some people (not I) will have trouble with the word "praying." If another word could fit the line ("pulling"?), it might be even more likely to result in indentification with the song. Other than that, I agree that this is a song on which people can agree; it definitely fits in this rural community I'm in. I know that chorus would bring a lot of effective, healing tears, and draw people closer no matter what their politics might be.

I'd offer it to the Hopeful Gospel Quartet at Prairie Home Companion; their material has a similar feel and Linda Williams sings in a similarly strong and clear style. That might springboard to an appearance for y'all-- you never know.
