'Rise Within Us - The Coming Of The Spirit' is an uplifting song for Pentecost performed by the Soul Sanctuary choir. It's a 'Sung Scripture', which uses a well-known song as a basis, and ad lib singing of the relevant scripture in the gaps.
Performers are being creative in lockdown, as we've seen, and this high quality arrangement was put together using material from 25 performers singing separately into smartphones at home.
The song is dedicated to the prisoners and staff at HMP Wandsworth.
'Rise Within Us' lyrics and music by Aaron Lindsay and Israel Houghton, from 2004 live album “Live From Another Level”, Israel & New Breed; additional lyrics by Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir, based on Acts 2, sung ad lib.
