Hi, good day to you all.

I remember watching Sinners a while ago and thinking “I know that song” in the initial church scene.

The thing is me, being a Latin baptist xennial woman (44) didn’t recognize the melody, just the words.

I asked my mom and sister if they remember any church song with those lyrics.

My mom (67) sang this melody that she knew from her childhood in Sunday school called in Spanish “Esta lucecita” or “Esta lucecita tiene que brillar”.

Sister (42) sang “Esta es la luz de Cristo”, which has similar lyrics but a more rapid pace.

I believe my mom’s song is the same as in the movie, and it amazes me to think a song from the 30s is still present in the churches around the world.

Mi madre insiste en que siempre fue el Día del Trabajo.

No vivimos en Perú, tengo la impresión de que el resto de los países celebran al Trabajador.

Alguien sabe por qué?
