I think “When God’s Children Get Together” is my favorite gospel song of all time. It is definitely my fave Mississippi Mass Choir selection. Not only is the message inspirational but the choir blows strong and the band rocks tough on this one.

I was attemting to include the lyrics and the video together but the web embedding code was disabled so I can’t post the clip here. But here’s the link to the video. The link will replace this page so you won’t be able to follow the lyrics. If you want to do that you’ll have to paste the link into a separate browser tab and play it there then follow along with the verses here.

Either way I guarantee you’ll save this to your portable player favorites. Check out the clip and see.
