"Prayer for Love," text by C. Eric Lincoln, music by J. Jefferson Cleveland. Featuring The Parish Choir. We select and share this piece for its text, particularly timely at this time of year as we celebrate the life and legacy of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This arrangement of Cleveland's hymn comes from a collection of African American religious music entitled "Songs of Zion."
