When we worship with songs from other cultures, we have an opportunity not just to share in their music, but in the story of their people.
Erna Hackett, Urbana 15 worship director, was gifted the spiritual "Hold On (Just A Little While Longer)" from Michelle Higgins, a worship and outreach pastor, local activist, and leader in her St. Louis community.
This short film explains the background of the song, and how it still applies today as a prayer in the #BlackLivesMatter movement in the midst of racial injustices that affect our country.
