“Standin' in the Need of Prayer”

Grades 3-5

While the song "Standin' In the Need of Prayer" (a folk spiritual) has largely been disseminated through oral transmission, over time it has also been transcribed and arranged for inclusion in a number of hymnals. This version is from the African American Heritage Hymnal (2001).
