Were You There

 For Easter, I have chosen the traditional spiritual "Were You There" to share.  I was writing a letter to a friend yesterday and was talking about what few memories I have of the church of my childhood, First Baptist of Monroe, at Easter. I think it's because as a child, I was more excited about the Easter bunny than to truly understand the significance of the day.  What I do remember is this song.  One Easter, Martha Parris, who had a beautiful, rich soprano voice, sang this a Capella from our balcony.  It was beautiful and very haunting. The soloist from the Gracias Choir does a fine job.
