As they sang they allowed the audience to sit in and watch as if watching from their own personal living rooms. We watched an intimate moment between friends. Each talented person that night had their own story to tell through their songs. For those of us who listened, we journeyed into their lives and got to see the love they had for each other. And the bond they will have for years to come.
I have had the privilege to get to know some of them and have found that, along with their craft, they are also a sincere group of people willing to serve others. These are great people with big hearts, amazing voices, and giving spirits.
The song below is one of the many songs performed during the evening. It grabbed my heart and I am grateful for its words and comfort to the enslaved. Those of us fighting for freedom and have seen firsthand the emotional struggles it brings, know that songs like this encourage others to stand up and fight as well. It opens our eyes and breaks our hearts in ways that cause us to act.
