OS usually does not share this sort of item--but this deserves attention.
The singing and arranging are simply exceptional--a joy to the ear from beginning to end.
The old spiritual 'Go Where I Send Thee' has fallen into disuse. In these times, it needs to be revived. The lyrics are actually in the tradition of other 'catechism' carols and spirituals--teaching Bible stories and theology couched in poetry, and employing repetition to ensure memorization, all set to attractive music.
It is a message of hope in dark times,and if we are honest with ourselves, there have been many many dark times, not just this one. The spirituals and carols survive them all, humble and indestructible witnesses to truth and light.
