Time for my annual re-check - surely someone else must have heard this song!

Hi AKMA

Since you first started searching, there is now technology that identifies and transcribes songs.
Apparently you can even hum what you know and the song can be identified.
Some songs are easily identifiable but I'm finding older Gospel songs are challenging.
I am having difficulty with finding what works because I’m not all that tech savvy
I've been researching apps. What I found so far was Shazam, SoundHound, and Musixmatch
or Google offers "To use the new feature on a mobile device, open the latest version of the Google app or find the Google Search widget.
Tap on the mic icon and say “what’s this song?” or click the “Search a song” button. Then start humming

Let us know if this helps in your search

Good morning, world. I’m just checking this post to bump it onto the front page again.

Now, living holy in the world means suffering —
But by me that's all right
I'd rather suffer the pains and afflictions
Than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season
I'd rather suffer the pains and afflictions of the righteous!

If my mother don't want to go — I'm going all the way
If my brother don't want to go — I'm going all the way
If my sister don't want to go — I'm going all the way
If my friends don't want to go — I'm going all the way…

Hi Akma,
Nice to hear from you again.
We can cross that lead off our list. Eh?
Looking forward to next year's post
By then maybe we'll have success
Nancy

Dear Nancy,

I have communicated with the host of Gospel Express himself, and he does not recall the hymn in question. He acknowledged that he sought out less well-known selections, and as a result has a harder time remembering everything that he played.

Still searching…

Hi AKMA

Nancy here, still checking in after all these years
and still, after an extensive search today no new leads.
Did you ever chase that lead from four years ago
with the New Haven community gospel radio station?

SIMH

More than a year since the last bump; does nobody remember this track?

It's a new year - anyone recognise these lyrics?

Six years, no clues. Can anyone help?

It's been more than a year this time - bump!

In case Nancy is still reading, I'm extremely dubious that anyone kept logs from the 1980s, but I'll do some legwork on this and see if anything turns up.

I will certainly post the answer here if I ever learn it.

Grace and peace,
AKMA
