Morning Like This

In college, I sang with the chorus for four years which was required of me as a vocal music education major. During that four years I learned and performed lots of music, but one piece stands out in my mind. In fact, I think about this song every Easter since then. We often performed at a local church on Easter morning, and one song we sang at least two different years was "Was It a Morning Like This?" That is a Sandi Patti song, and even though I have never heard her version of it, I can tell you right now it doesn't hold a candle to the way it sounded with our 100 voice accapella choir.
The lyrics are good, but the best part is hearing such a mass of people singing "He is risen, Hallelulah!" over and over. The entire song builds from a quiet simple beginning into a jubilant powerful exciting ending...focusing on the words "He is risen." It always gave me chills, and I loved singing it.
So today, after all these years, I went to the Harding bookstore web site and bought a CD that has that song on it. In fact, I am thinking that it might be the CD that my particular chorus recorded while I was at Harding. I never did buy a copy of it...until now, and that would be really cool if my voice is one of the many I will hear singing this favorite song of mine.
I'll turn the song into an mp3 and post it to my blog when I get the CD because it's a song that needs to be shared.
