  One of the Greatest Voices of the 20th century, Miss Mahalia Jackson, brought so much inspiration and changes in thoughts to many. Her music is the true definition of Peace and Love; please take a listen here and enjoy your Weekend: Take my hand Precious Lord , How I got over , Amazing Grace , Joshua fit the battle for Jericho , Silent night, Holy night , The upper room , Trouble of the World , You'll never walk alone , Keep me everyday , Let the Power of the Holy Ghost fall on me , His eye is on thre sparrow , I believe , When the Saints go marching in , The Lord's Prayer , Nearer my God to thee , What a friend we have in Jesus , We shall overcome , Every time I feel the Spirit  , Just a closer walk with Thee , Lord, don't move the mountain and Move on up a little higher
