Sure most of you know this story.
Used many of these stories when I was teaching senior high sunday school
to help my students to love the old songs.
Can't sing this song, never have been able to.
I'm an alto and I love the harmony to this song...
I'd LOVE to be able to sing it...just can't.
Tears...lots of them.
It is well...It's all gonna be okay

I actually just heard this story a couple weeks ago, they told it at church. I love the hymn and now I know the story behind it.

I have read that story many time but it moves me every time. What faith,what faith. Blessings
What a beautiful hymn! And beautiful story!
Many hymns move me to tears as well.
Oh, and guess what? I also sing alto! Can't do any higher notes. Wish I could.
Take care, dear Maree. I love your blog. You are so inspiring.

I love this song and I want my daughter to have it at my funeral. The words are great and the story behind it is so touching. When I'm gone I want to emphasize not to be sad that it is all fine with me. God is so good. I plan on being with Him forever.
I only heard this story in the last few years. Having not grown up in the church, I had never heard the hymn - AMAZING! How good is God's grace??
Sometimes when I do the bulletin I like to put on the back a story about one of the hymns we are singing - a bit of a background so people can understand more about who wrote the hymns and why. This is one that I put in the bulletin one Sunday. It makes a difference to know what inspired someone to write from their heart. So many hymns have come from people who lived in the 1700-1800's but are still so much alive today!! This was great.
