        @jelani9 I'm told unplanned. If so, it was a stroke of genius.

        @jelani9 I don't think he planned it because of the long thoughtful pause before he started singing. Awesome!

        @jelani9 It doesn't matter plan or unplanned, its what the church goers wanted and needed.

        @jelani9 I think it's safe to say that was planned.

        @jelani9 How could it not have been planned? At least he made note to self "sing here if you feel it"

        @jelani9 I think if he'd planned it, someone might have cued him w/a note 1/2-key higher.
