This familiar African American spiritual is often used during the Lenten season. However, its text actually makes it suitable for many times of the year in worship settings that lift up the theme of Jesus as a constant companion. Karen Buckwalter’s flowing arrangement of this haunting melody brings the listener into this timeless text of yearning for help in difficult times. The center section depicts this struggle with a slightly more chromatic treatment followed by full, rich harmonies before returning to the haunting opening measures.
