We Shall Overcome. No More Auction Block For Me. When the Spirit Says Sing. Shall Not Be Moved. Songs that are sung with the heart to God have the power to set people free .
Thanksgiving songs are non-violent battle songs.
And the amazing thing is that when people begin to sing, even when they're still in chains, when people begin to sing, they become free. I'd also like to talk, for just a moment, about giving thanks as a subversive activity. If I'm well-off, if I thank God for the way things are, if I'm pretty comfortable just the way I am, then this part of the message isn't going to make much sense. If I'm greedy, if I'm avaricious, if I've got my feet firmly planted on the escalator of competition, then this is also not going to make much sense. Giving thanks is a subversive activity.
