spiritual
The term spiritual is derived from spiritual song. The King James Bible's translation of Ephesians V.19 is: "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." The term spiritual song was often used in the white Christian community through the 19th century (and indeed much earlier), but not the term spiritual. Negro spiritual first appears in print in the 1860s,[7] where slaves are described as using the noun spiritual for religious songs sung sitting or standing in place Read Full BioThe term spiritual is derived from spiritual song.

Negro spiritual first appears in print in the 1860s,[7] where slaves are described as using the noun spiritual for religious songs sung sitting or standing in place, and spiritual shouts for more dance-like music.
Musicologist George Pullen Jackson extended the term spiritual to a wider range of folk hymnody, as in his 1938 book White Spirituals in the Southern Uplands, but this does not appear to have been widespread usage previously. The term is often broadened to include subsequent arrangements into more standard American hymnodic styles, and to include post-emancipation songs with stylistic similarities to the original Negro spirituals.
Although numerous rhythmical and sonic elements of Negro spirituals can be traced to African sources, nonetheless it is a fact that Negro spirituals are a musical form that is indigenous and specific to the religious experience in the United States of Africans transported from Africa. They are a result of the interaction of African religious elements with music and religion derived from Europe. Further, this interaction occurred only in the United States. Africans who converted to Christianity in other parts of the world, even in the Caribbean and Latin America, did not evolve this form.

This has to be one of the best modern hymns ever written. In fact it may be one of the best hymns of all time.
It certainly a song of praise, and thats all a hymn is.
Garnet Lomako
Absolutely beautiful song of praise and love, the highest vibration.🕉

@Eddie Soto Claro, simplemente góspel. Harrison no pudo componer una buena canción para una divinidad oriental con música oriental. Tuvo que recurrir a la música cristiana occidental, a la cual ama. Y cuánta razón tiene! Se escucha estupendo.

Jesus died so that all men can be saved. It was a fulfillment of ancient scripture. But he really did not die because he was resurrected 3 days later. We are also told that he ascended into heaven. As far as being married. We don't really have evidence that he did or did not but I don't really see why it would make a difference.

You don’t have to be religious to love this song you just have to be human

@Kickkboi Yeah? What would a Jew and a Palestinian accomplish if they honored each other's belief? Especially those centered around Jerusalem? The past 20 years has show too much catering to fragile egos of everyone. Now everybody is butt hurt about something. It started with getting rid of dodge ball, then handing out trophies for every single kid ball player, then red markers were forbidden from grading tests in classrooms because kids were too stressed out over red ink. Time is up, now, these soft kids are facing the world, realizing that life is tough and are shooting up schools.

@marco a. l. lobo I consider myself a psychopath so maybe I am empathetic out of self interest?

@Just Me Why don't you just respect everyone's belief? Just imagine what would the world be if every single person's belief was respected
