“Not my brother nor my sister but it's me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer.” The slave is realistically aware of his own shortcomings, but nevertheless he expresses them with infectious rhythm and good humour. The lively arrangement of this spiritual by Gwyn Arch begins with an optional a cappella intro, followed by the four-part male choir (with piano), above which a solo voice (or group) rises.
