Songbook/Rock My Soul

Rock my Soul Gospel (first half of the 19th century) Mjchael Abraham's bosom alludes to "The parable of the rich man and Lazarus"; a biblical story from the New Testament. (see Luke 16 19-31) Only children are actually allowed to sit on the lap of a grandfather (symbolic of Abraham's forefather). And then it is usually the grandchildren and close relatives who enjoy a close relationship of trust. The song thus expresses the deep desire to experience such trust in God for oneself. There is hardly a gospel choir that does not have this song in its repertoire. The text is so easy that the audience can sing along immediately. This gospel has been covered very often. To name just a few: Golden Gate Quartet (1938), Les Humphries Singers, Peter, Paul & Mary, Louis Armstrong, Nana Mouskouri, Elvis Presley and many more.
