And I just had to download it. So now it is forever connected with Richard in my mind and I have trouble not crying when I'm hearing it. It stood out from other hymns for me. I'm not a music expert, I can just say that there was something special about the rhythm and melody that I liked. Here's some trivia: I recently discovered that the first verse is recited by Iron Maiden in their song "Revelations." And that was quite a revelation for me because I've been listening to that song for years! lol Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327212256617291703noreply@blogger.com
