They gave us goosebumps with “Let There Be Peace on Earth” at Christmastime, and here they are again.
The sensationally good Oratorio Society of Queens — directed by the great David Close, musical director at my parish, with Barbara Podgurski on piano — is now offering a stirring virtual performance of “Like a River in My Soul.”
The words of this traditional spiritual:
“I’ve got peace like a river
Like a river in my soul;
I’ve got peace like a river,
Soothing river,
Calmly flow.
When the world closes in,
Feel the stillness within,
I’ve got peace like a river,
Like a river in my soul…”
Watch. Listen. Enjoy. And “feel the stillness within.”
