Jesus Walks in Worship



I'll be the first to admit that Kanye's super hit "Jesus Walks" gets me up on my feet. Unfortunately not all of Kanye's music has some of the spiritual redemption that this song does. I had kind of written the song off as his passing homage to childhood influences when I heard of an interview on NPR about the original version of the song created and performed by the ARC (Addicts Rehabilitation Center) Gospel Choir.

"James Allen is the 81-year-old director of the Addicts Rehabilitation Center in Harlem. He founded the center in 1957 after he kicked his own habit. Soon after he founded the center in 1957 -- after kicking his own habit -- Allen founded the a-cappella Addicts Rehabilitation Center Gospel Choir (ARC)." NPR.org


The Choir brings their music alive with Character and pure passion for what their singing. Its beautiful and heart felt Worship music. Check it Out below.
