God bless the haves, but especially the have-nots. > > > 6.

ALL this LOVE is waiting for you : ) > > > 10. And So It Is > > [3/4 Country feel] An original tune written by Antoinette. Some folks say amen at the end of a prayer, some say, "and so it is." Wishing you "a Life Sublime, love peace and Happiness...and so it is." > > > 11. How I Got Over > > [Traditional] I remember watching Queen Mahalia approach the microphone. What we often do not credit Mahalia Jackson for is shouting out to Dr. King to "tell them about the dream" Dr. King heard Mahalia Jackson, put his notes aside, and gave the great "I Have A Dream" speech that still reverberates and is still needed, today. > > > 12.
