  • I LOVE this! I think it's so pure and beautiful and so God-exalting. My only problem is when this becomes a part of the "church culture" and is separated from true worship. Then you get a type of legalism that says "this way and no other". I grew up ABC Baptist in a church that shunned instruments (except the "heavenly" piano) and it ran a bunch of us off. No one explained worship to us. It was just "this is how it is". I kept close to Jesus but, sad to say, some of my friends didn't.

  • @miatadriver : if you're looking for a church with no musical instruments and sacred harp singing, go to your local Primitive Baptist church. I don't know what part of the country you're in, but if your're in the South there's probably one not far away. The singing is unbelievable. There's also a Sacred Harp group that gets together to sing once or twice a month.

  • they're out there! believe me! i go to one. You just have to look really hard! :-) good luck

  • Very moving.

  • this is my personal favorite!

  • Incredibly beautiful and uplifting. The simplicity is why... It reaches all the way to Heaven.

  • This is the best version of this song just as Mozart's requiem is the best in its' class. Tthe reach up of the soul to something higher is captured here- Bill Maher should only be listening.

  • beautiful... the power of the voice...

  • The churches of Christ sing without instrumental music.

  • Amen to that.
