If you wish to perform it then to be safe you are likely to need a CCLI licence or hard copies of Scripture in Song, or another book containing this work, though the writer remembers learning the song from another who merely had a guitar and a voice, and seems to think that that might have been before 1972, but then the song may have been in circulation before it appeared in print.
For the avoidance of doubt, the version here is for educational purposes to illustrate the use of a close coupled group of female voices to bring to life a gospel song.
The midi file was produced using Noteworthy Composer.
The mp3 was produced using Myriad software.
