"if Jesus himself will be our leader"

Someone traded worship-leading with us this coming Sunday, which is right before the next church meeting about elders. It also happens to be the first week we start having discussions about the Sunday scripture reading in our adult session after worship (which I previously offered to facilitate). So I'm planning to focus worship and the discussion on questions of leadership and authority. And use the passage where the elders question Jesus' authority.

I also would like to use Black spirituals for the music. I discovered this good one in our hymnal:

We shall walk through the valley of the shadow of death
We shall walk through the valley in peace
If Jesus Himself will be our leader
We shall walk through the valley in peace
