I appreciate the comment A.D.! We are in the process of transitioning our Zoom meetings from one Songs of Faith night each month to two, so more gospel songs will be coming. I am certainly looking forward to it.

Thanks Uncle John and Richard (good to hear from you)! This one was sung at a funeral I attended and I realized I only had the chorus for the song in our songbook, so I worked up the complete song shortly afterwards. When Becky chose it last month, the full version went into the songbook. She was pleased to get the whole song. The verses do fill it out nicely.

Hi Slingers! It’s been a while. Sounds so good. Great song.

Comment by Uncle John on March 25, 2023 at 1:09am

Love this song about my savior.  Thanks, Slingers.
