Country gospel from Rimrock, Concord, Arkansas. Barbara Ann Mefford's reworking of a Duane Allen song; the picture sleeve pitches it as "fitting for this Day in which we live", listing "Men claiming God is Dead! L S D! & Hippies! & A war in Viet Nam!" as "Satan's Hordes Working Overtime". The B-side is "Battlefield Prayer".
