Sunday Song - Lift Every Voice

At my parish we sing this song every Sunday of Black History Month. So that's reason enough to make it today's Sunday Song. But Lent starts this Wednesday, and this Lent I'll be following the Ignatian Solidarity Network's "Life Every Voice" blog which will be covering "addressing America’s original sin of racism through the lens of Ignatian spirituality and the daily readings." I suggest you follow it too. I know one of the 3 contributors personally, and she's a person who speaks with the kind of intelligence and authority that gives you no choice but to listen up. 

Lyrics are in the video, and in English.
