Answer 1

I am pretty sure you can find the sheet music in the key she sings it in, or order it in the "high voice" if the "low voice" is too low. Check out Amazon.com or wwwsheetmusicplus.com for sheet music, or order it through your local music store. I have done this with the chorus I used to teach, and it is very easy to get because it's popular. You can give the sheet music to your chorus teacher or someone who can play the accompaniment. They can record it for you. Most African American church pianist or organist can play that by ear, so you can do it that way too. OR you can order the actual instrumental CD or tape the same way as I stated before at your local music store or Amazon. Just make sure in your search you type in instrumental. You might find the instrumental on I-Tunes also. I've found a couple on there.

Also, if you are a Mezzo-Soprano (that fits the alto/soprano description) and you want something a little more of today, that Listen song by Beyonce would work. Another good artist with that type of voice is Mary J. Blige. Be Without You, Real Love, any of her songs would fit perfectly. And you could get the instrumental from anything she has sung because her songs are very popular also. People are forever ordering her insturmentals. Or anything by Toni Braxton or Anita Baker would sound good for your range. Also Mariah's Shake it Off and We Belong Together is not too high in range, and pretty much fills the Mezzo protocol. Good luck to you and enjoy your performance!

Answer 2

I have never heard the Yolanda Adams version but if they sing the same lyrics all you have to do is sing it in a higher key but if they are different lyrics then forget what I said
