Subject: RE: Gideon's Band
We adapted a song I heard was actually a minstrel song, but when I heard it done by the band that did it in the 1920's, it rang true as a song of fellowship and fun that fits our Saturday night service's intentionally open (read "loosey-goosey") atmosphere quite well. I dunno if I ever posted it here and I don't have time to look into that, but it has this line:

Do you belong to Gideon's band?
Here's my heart, and here's my hand.

It feels to me like what you posted, Azizi.
