Houston Bright: I hear a voice a-prayin'

Houston Bright (1916. - 1970.) je američki kompozitor koji je većinu svog stvaralaštva posvetio horskim gospelima. Evo jedna od njih u izvođenju vokalne grupe GŠ Katarina Kosača Kotromanić iz Žepča. Izvedba
se desila na koncertu nastavnika škole povodom dana zaljubljenih.

I HEAR A VOICE A-PRAYIN' 

I hear a voice a-prayin', Lord
I hear a voice a-prayin', Hallelujah!
I hear a voice a-cryin', cryin',
O Lord, save my soul
Hallelujah, Lord!

Every time I hear a sinner pray,
I wonder if I'm ready for the Judgment Day
Every time I hear a sinner cry,
I wonder where I'm goin' when I come to die

I hear a voice a-prayin', Lord
I hear a voice a-prayin', Hallelujah!
I hear a voice a-cryin', cryin',
O Lord, save my soul
Hallelujah. Lord!

Every time I hear the parson preach,
I wonder if salvation is in my reach
Every time I hear a sinner pray,
I wonder if I'm ready for the Judgment Day

I hear a voice a-prayin', Lord
I hear a voice a-prayin', Hallelujah!
I hear a voice a-cryin', cryin',
O Lord, save my soul —
O Lord, save my soul!
