“Don’t Do It Without Me”
Bishop Paul S. Morton
From the bonus edition of Cry Your Last Tear (Tehillah/Light 2008)

“Don’t Do It Without Me” is the best song not found on Cry Your Last Tear, Bishop Paul S. Morton and the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship Mass Choir’s latest release.
That is, unless you have the Bonus Edition of the album, in which case you are familiar with this lovely and unpretentious track, attributed to Morton’s labelmate Bishop Neil C. Ellis and a host of other writers. The song is a passionate plea to the Lord, delivered with the musical gravity afforded a Lucie Campbell composition, that asks simply, “Whatever you’re doing in this season, please don’t do it without me.”
“Don’t Do It Without Me” is contemporary today but destined to become part of the venerable traditional catalog in the future.
