Move over Jesus, Hillary Clinton is running for president.
An all-women’s choir called “Voices From the Heart” performed at Clinton’s Portsmouth, New Hampshire rally Saturday.
The group describes itself on its website: “Our powerful and eclectic songs range from African-American spirituals to Korean songs for unity, South African anti-apartheid songs to Macedonian love songs. The songs are powerful testaments to the triumph of the human spirit. Sung with the strength of 200 voices, the songs delight and inspire audiences,” The Blaze reports.
There, they serenaded the former Secretary of State with an old gospel tune, “Woke Up This Morning (With My Mind on Jesus).” Except in this version, from the self-dubbed “woman’s alternative chorus,” “Jesus” is replaced with “Hillary.”

In the video, they sing:
Woke up this mornin’ with my mind, stayin’ on Hillary
Woke up this mornin’ with my mind, stayin’ on Hillary
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah!

The song was a variation on the song popularized by the great Mavis Staples.
