“Pass Me Not” – Elder Randall Ogans Sr. & Dorian Ogans
“Pass Me Not”Elder Randall Ogans Sr. & Dorian OgansAlpha 7 Ministries (release date: September 5, 2021)https://elderrandalloganssr.hearnow.com By Robert M.

Dorian's acoustic piano and electric guitar riffs give the hymn a gentle swing that evokes a late-night cafe' jam session, until Randall's organ enters and brings it back to Sunday morning worship. It’s the kind of restful piece you play just before or after service, or at the end of a very busy Sunday.
