It was under a big dark Moroccan sky. It was under a Fez arch hundreds of years old. It was there they came...the Zulus.
They were called the Ladysmith Red Lions and they were from South Africa.
The Lion Zulus came to dance and they came to sing at the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music. They sang of many things. But mostly they sang of Jesus.
Soon on the stage was Leanne Faine from Chicago. Her voice was deep and raspy. And she belted out songs like a woman on fire.
She, too, sang of Jesus.
As did Leanne's ensemble band.
And then from California came Butterscotch. She didn't really sing at all but beat-boxed. I think {but I can't be sure} that she, too, was inspired by Jesus.
And then something happened.
Leanne was joined by the Zulu Lions........
And by the beatboxing Butterscotch........
And they all sang gospel together.
{That sort of thing happens at the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music.}
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
Washed my sins away (oh happy day)
