Four Examples of the Gospel song "This Morning When I Rose"

Edited by Azizi Powell

This post showcases lyrics and video examples of the Gospel song "This Morning When I Rose".

Notice that a video of the Mississippi Mass Choir's rendition of this song (which is found below as Example #1) gives "When I Rose This Morning" as the title of that song. I think that might be a mistake.
