UMC musician’s protest hymn goes viral
(Video screengrab)
Many United Methodist clergy gave Pentecost Sunday sermons on the scourge of racism, prompted by the latest high-profile killing of a black man in police custody. But DeAndre Johnson may have outpreached and outreached them all by offering his own protest hymn, “It Is Enough!”
The video of Johnson singing for online worship at Christ Church Sugar Land, in Texas, had about 19,000 Facebook views as of June 2, with hundreds of shares.
At least eight other churches across the US, from Maine to Hawaii, used the song as well after Johnson and Discipleship Ministries—the UMC agency that provides resources for church leaders—posted the words and music online.
