chris eaton from the midlands, england composed this alternative version. has written lots of ccm music for artists such as jackie velasquez. i grew up hearing the cliff richard version. this is nice too though.
I case you don't recognize the back-up vocal duet ("So God imparts...") that is the voice of Richard Page, later to see great success as leader and front man for Mr. Mister.
I am so thankful for the gift of music!! Thx..for the musical reminder. Brings back many great memories; gives perspective on where I am now, and dreams for my own family.
Sung by Cliff Richard in the UK many years before. Same style. Lots of people in America think their artist is the original singer with an original song and lots of people in the UK think some songs are original with an original singer, but the originals were sung first by the other artists in the opposite countries! So America think this is Amy's song, and in the UK they think it's Cliff's song!
love it

@HardWarUK I'm American and I have both versions, but Cliff's version came out first. The lyrics are traditional, music written by Chris Eaton.

It's an incredible piece to do as a choir, though.

sounds nice, but not a fun piece to play if you've ever saw the sheet music.
