Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen
In May 2011, two of DisciplesNet's favorite song providers, Rev. Dr. Twana A. Harris and Rev. Dean Phelps, came to our DisciplesNet studio to let us record them singing some favorites that we thought would bring a lift to our audience.
We hope you will enjoy hearing their special blend of voices on this African American spiritual, "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen."
At the end of the song, stay tuned for part of Psalm 61 and a brief prayer for your journey.
