I love a good religious song on a Sunday morning in which everybody enjoys the praise of God in song,you don't have to be a good singer you will still be welcome to join in (but obviously I'm an ace singer)

Are you a churchgoer Stefan? I know that there's plenty who doubt the existence of God on here

Chalky, I am not at all religious but nevertheless songs such as those that I specified above are a joy to listen to.
'We shall not be moved' has a history of being used and paraphrased according to the proponents of a serious issue of the time. In the 1960s in the USA the Civil Rights organisation used it in its protests altering "We're on our way to Heaven" to "We're on our way to freedom" and in the version above Judith Durham sings both in the verses. In the late 1960s football crowds at FA Cup matches made it "We're on our way to Wembley". To this day it is used by serious protest groups worldwide, being altered according to the issue.

Social history 101 right there. I always liked Judith Durham - what a set of pipes!

I just wondered if you put it up because of the time of the year really but thanks for putting up the song anyhow Stefan

It’s a good job that JD changed her name, she was born Judith C­ock.
