Subject: RE: Religious Songs That Speak To You
I'm not sure when I started doing so, but whenever I sing the first verse of "Lead Kindly Light", I sing the following gospel song right afterwards:

THANK YOU JESUS [FOR MY JOURNEY]
Thank you Jesus
Thank you Jesus
for my journey
You brought me
from a mighty,
ah mighty long way
ah mighty long way
Thank you Jesus
Thank you Jesus
for my journey
You brought me
from a mighty
ah mighty long way.

Here's two interpretations of that gospel song that I found on YouTube:

"Thank You Jesus" -Stephen Hill, Lillie Knauls,Jessy Dixon

"Thank You Jesus" - Donnie McClurkin

Fwiw, the first YouTube clip sounds more like the version that I sing, but the tempo those singers use is slower than the tempo that I learned, I guess from hearing it sung in church.
