23rd Psalm

I just saw that my last post included a LOT of videos of this song.

Meant to give you just one.  The 2 I like most are
The Anderson College   which I now cant identify--
 and the one titled Bobby McFerrin conducting.

On  my phone the  Bobby McFerrin conducting one is about 15 down in the list and  you see two ladies and a very  blue tint over the screen-- in case this helps.

Per that schedule we are not singing until 9/17, when we will do "Out of the Stars."
