I showed my grandma this hymn about two weeks ago. She passed away two days ago on Friday. Before she took her nap Friday she told me that she loved that hymn and how beautiful it was. Well she passed away while taking her nap. And when I looked in her journal today her last entry was Thursday and the last thing she wrote was "Christ Laid Aside His Crown For My Soul, For My Soul". This is such a beautiful thing I have to relate to my grandma which will never fade away. I love you grandma.

[beanscot]

@TUSAPoWnAgE Thank you for sharing such a testimony of your grandmother's life with us. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

[ldffly]

@TUSAPoWnAgE

Thank you so much for this testimony of your grandmother's faith in Jesus. We can all trust that she entered into God's eternal kingdom and lives on supported by the abiding love of Jesus. All of us who are alive now and who love Jesus can look forward to the same eternal life.

@TUSAPoWnAgE - God's grace that so fully matured within the heart of your grandmother is so beautiful... to think the realm of Heaven is filled with such people, who testify so purely and sweetly... God bless you! What a precious testimony... I'm thankful to have happened upon it and this video.

This is the best recording of this hymn since Ewan MaColl

[beanscot]

@nessasmomma1 Thank you for commenting.

[sanjuancb]

@nessasmomma1 Did not know that Ewan MacColl did a version of this. I would love to hear that!

[mkl62]

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (March 27, Lent 3), I played this as the closing hymn. It is (don't laugh) #666 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.

[beanscot]

@mkl62 I won't laugh.. I believe Deborah Liv Johnson is also Lutheran.

[pinkbubbles1119]

@mkl62 (also lutheran in sc) wow we actually sang this song today, and i memorized the page number a couple years ago too!

[mansfield1721]

I had this played at my mother's Requiem Mass as the Communion hymn. Not a dry eye in any pew. rest in peace, Mommy

[beanscot]

@mansfield1721 I'm sorry for your loss. It's a powerful song. Thank you for commenting.

[sheluvscrocs]

[beanscot]

@sheluvscrocs I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting! : )

[kariebeez]

[bac1981]

[beanscot]

@bac1981 Yes, God is merciful. Thank you for commenting.

[Younglillady]

I have memorized this song by heart. I love it! My laptop's acting up so I couldn't watch it,but I definetly would watch it if I could!!!!

[beanscot]

@Younglillady Thanks for commenting!

[Silverstream178]

[beanscot]

@Silverstream178 I'm sorry for your loss, but he is free.

[Cubo550]

This song is always good to listen to during sad times. It always reminds me when my dad moved away.

[beanscot]

@Cubo550 Yes, it is good to remember the wonder of God's love when we are sad. We are loved, indeed.

[TheHellee]

@Cubo550 I comepletely agree. In fact, my Dad moved out, too. It's perfect for reminding us that God IS still there, and IS watching us.

[CassandraMusik]

i'm so glad i found this today, i thought she was from a major label

[beanscot]

@CassandraMusik I have uploaded other songs by this artist.

[CassandraMusik]

[beanscot]

You're welcome! Thanks for your encouraging comment!

[MiddleDeeping]

How unearthly, achingly beautiful!!!! I think sometimes, when I hear something like this, that I love folk hymns & spirituals better than anything else (w/the possible exception of Handel's Messiah) in Christian literature.

[beanscot]

It is beautiful! Thanks for commenting!

[grdnzrnic]

key of A on the trumpet: my music, first note is B

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

[crayzforjonas01]

Oh you have such a beautiful voice! And such wondrous truth in this beautiful song. I am studying the Sacred Harp songs, this is a perfect song. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.

[beanscot]

It's not my voice. The singer is Deborah Liv Johnson and her music can be purchased from Itunes. Now I'm going to double check my info to make sure I gave her credit. : )

[OneIreland]

absolutely beautiful song

[beanscot]

Thanks for commenting.  It is a wondrous love!

[archangel2790]

This was my grandmother's favorite song.  We had it played at her memorial back in 1986. This song still brings me to tears, all these years later.

[beanscot]

Thank you for sharing. You touched my heart.

[albusignis1]

[beanscot]

You're welcome!

[sarahlovesrio]

I work in a veterinary hospital & sing this hymn to myself every time a family bring in a well-loved pet to be euthanized. I am always moved by the 'parents' final act of unconditional love for their pet who no longer has to suffer. I will sing. I will sing.

[beanscot]

Thanks for your comment. Having just lost a beloved dog last month, I am sincerely touched by what you wrote. Blessings, Beanscot
