Robeson County African American (60+ -year-old female)


Audio:


People don't sing no more. I tells the people, the people at our church, until we get back to singing something to the Lord, I don't know if Jesus understands what people singing today, cause I don't understand it, I'm not Jes- I don't understand. You hear all this loud music and you don't hear no words. But we need to sing something that's understanding so that we can sing praises to the Lord. Now I'm not saying it might be, he-, he- he-, he's-, he can hear all things, you know, because he ís, he ís all in all, and I know he understand. But I still think we ought to serve the Lord wi-,wi-wi, with songs that sings praises to him. Cause you know it's something lacking in our churches and I believe that's what it is. And our men folks is not interested; they need to be there. The beautifulest time I ever seen I went to a church out from Lillington, North Carolina.
