Yesterday, Kanye West blessed us within an alternate version of “Ultralight Beam” that’s sure to get a ton of play among church youth groups across the nation.

“Ultralight Prayer” is “Ultralight Beam” sans Chance the Rapper and full of Kirk Franklin’s energetic gospel. Kanye tweeted a link to the track, wishing everyone a happy Easter, which we’re sure fans had after hearing the new song.
