@minkamagalah Thank you.

[lovesings2us]

dear maureen - i have really, really loved this song for years and years. I have

listened to the wondrous recordings of gregory norbet, the composer, singing it

almost countless times. today, for the first time, i heard you sing it and i'm just moved beyond words. You bring new lights and new warm very comforting and encouraging colors to the song that amaze me. Thank you so much! May the great love and blessing you give to God and the human family come back round to you in awesome ways.

[maureenderry]

@lovesings2us Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I love singing sacred music and your comments make it all worth while.

[maureenderry]

@MrTAFRA I am afraid I do not understand your comment.

[rothaich5]

Listened again. Sunday I was thinking of the theme of forgiveness and adultery the story of Hosea. We also read the St. Francis prayer. I am a catechist in the Diocese of Fresno and I consider it an important part of my public service.

[rothaich5]

O gra lem chroi fe run is tu......I very much like your repetoire, Maureen. As a young man one of my favorites was Mary O' Hara -a very, very nice and personable lady-and she was the first person whom I ever heard in person sing Irish Gaelic songs (we did sing Scottish Gaelic songs at home and I was surprised that some were very similar or the same). But your performances really are definitive. And of course I love you songs of faith. As a man of faith myself I like hymns very much.

[maureenderry]

@rothaich5 Thanks for commenting. I really appreciate you taking the time.

[rothaich5]

One of my favorite modern hymns...just lovely. Once again this is a voice and a performance I could here everyday. Thanks Maureen

[maureenderry]

@rothaich5 Thank you.....I do appreciate your comments. Maureen

[faithfuldissenter]

thanks

[maureenderry]

@faithfuldissenter Thankyou for your lovely comment.

[jlfahrer]

I believe this song is from verses in the Book of Hosea. It's what Hosea said to his wife when he forgave her for being unfaithful.

[annmaria]

I love this hymn so much.

My sister's choir sang it when i was really young and still I could never get it out of my head so I'm having it sung at my wedding next month by a small group of girls in my parish. I cry listening to it now so God help me on that day!

I was worried it was more of a funeral song but I think the words can suit any occasion.

[antdaman1983]

i like this song jerliyn sings it beutuftlly

[lindsaykuniyuki]

Stunning piece! Can you tell me who painted the first painting of Jesus laughing with the children? It's beautiful!

[maureenderry]

@lindsaykuniyuki Thanks for the comment. I am sorry I cannot remember. I think it was on an internet site. Maybe you you google Jesus pictures! Hope that works. I found lots of lovely pictures.

[melirvp1]

good video really good song and lyrics and rythm

[maureenderry]

@melirvp1 Thanks for your lovely comment.

[kaliwatniDagohoy]

Beautifully sang! The choir usually sings this song but it is more meaningful sang alone. Thanks for posting this. I love it...

[martinshorelinealarm]

I recently returned to my faith, and this was the first hymn at the first mass I attended in many years.

Beautiful.

[maureenderry]

@martinshorelinealarm You'd think it was prearranged...I am happy for you. Maureen

[maryc3]

this hymn is used at Marriage Encounter weekends

and Retrouvaille too

[MP99312]

Beautiful!

[maureenderry]

@MP99312 Thank you.

[PhantomAngel88]

I really love this song and have noticed many have played it at funerals. However I thought it would be fitting for a wedding to (more directed towards the bride and groom) and really want to play it at my wedding. Has anyone ever heard it at a wedding?

[hildenns]

@PhantomAngel88

My wife and I used this hymn at our wedding 32 years ago.I believe it was fitting then, and now as well

[horselover333ful]

this was played as she walked down the aisle?

[hildenns]

@horselover333ful my wife and I greeted guests about halfway up the main aisle as they entered the church. We then walked up the aisle together as a small choir sang this song accompanied by a couple of guitars

[dannylarne]

Maureen I first learned this hymn on my Cursillo weekend,A turning point in my life,fhank you.

[tpc326]

I had this played at my wifes funeral seven years ago. Thank you for posting this beautiful song.

[yoize]

thank you for posting this it made me cry, I loved it so much when I was a child.

Thank you for your lovely comment. Maureen

[normmarion]

Beautiful. Thank You

[maureenderry]

Thankk you for your comment.

[ItsCherub]

Maureen, this is so very beautiful. I play this almost every single morning. I feel so 'in touch', with our Lord, when I just 'see' Him singing this to me. It is especially instrumental when I feel so distant from Him. This brings me right back to Him.

Bless You and thank You for allowing Him to bless us thru YOU!

Helen

[maureenderry]

Helen, Thank you so much for letting me know this.  It affirms me in my singing.

[tpc326]

Maureen, your singing of this hymn lifts up our spirits. Thank you and God Bless You.

[maureenderry]

Thank you so much. It is nice to know I have lifted someone's spirits. Maureen
