I too felt hypocritical about singing anything with a religious context but I feel a lot better now. ThankyouI would also like to thank Emmylou Harris for my introduction to Wayfaring Stranger (growing up in a non-religious household I had little exposure to those songs). I did however find a third verse in a Lomax? song book of early American songs which seems to complete the song (Emmylou only sang the first two - on the record we had). Good choice Willie-O.
I find that you can really soar (if you know what I mean) with gospel songs and it does make you feel good, even if you don't believe... Ophelia
