Listen "In the Bosom of Abraham"
Episode Synopsis
Have you heard the song that comes from today’s gospel?
Rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham,
Rock my soul, in the bosom of Abraham,
Rock my soul, in the bosom of Abraham,
Oh, rock my soul.
This song has been recorded by Peter, Paul & Mary and by Elvis, and it’s been sung in children’s ministries around the world. The tune is simple. The lyrics consist of a single line. If your Children’s Choir can’t memorize this, they’re not going to be memorizing anything. It’s popular, it’s sweet, and it is, without a doubt, one of the most subversive songs in history.
And I mean that in the best possible way!
