"Not In My Name"
Joe Offer, As for "Soon And Very Soon" I believe that the tune is from an old Spiritual, and Andre put words to it from Revelations 21:3-4. Back in the olden days of the 70's, Andre was on the gospel circuit which brought him to my stomping grounds just about all through the 70's. As I recall, Andre used to vary the lyrics from time to time for the mood of the service or "alter call", but here are the words I recall (I think, but hey, I'm a geezer now!) from back then:
vs 1. Soon and very soon, we are ging to see the King;X3
Refrain: Hallelujah, Hallelujah, We're going to see the King.
vs 2. No more dying there, we are going to see the King; etc.
Refrain
vs 3. No more Crying there, we are going to see the King; etc.
