My much older sister's use to sing it in their hippy christian songbook back in the 70s. I can't believe that the modern church-goer, having grown up on popular music with movement, would be that perplexed by this song. I wish I could find more of these songs, like "Pass It On" or "And They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love," etc. That sing seriously rox!

My brothers thought it was a bit strange. They evidently sang that at my parent’s church too. My brothers thought it was a bit strange.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross is challenging enough for most modern congregations - we didn't even sing it in the traditional Southern Baptist church were I grew up. On second thought, perhaps the Unitarians would be bold enough to do it.

That's how they got the moniker, AAMOF. Actually, the Shakers were quite into dancing. That’s how they got the moniker, AAMOF.
