"Jesus, let us come to know you, let us see you face to face.
Touch us, hold us, use us, mold us, only let us live in you.
Jesus draw us ever nearer, hold us in your loving arms.
Wrap us in your gentle presence. When the end comes, bring us home."
The hymnal I use says it was written by Michael Card in 1982 and is in reference to Philippians 3:10 "I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection."
I hope this helps even if it's late. :)

@Dewberrydrops Well, your last question there is good. Why not be original and leave the other stuff alone? There really is not a good answer (at least one I know of at the moment...). I would prefer being original to copying something else myself. If we look into the past, we see that Claude T. Smith took hymns and arranged them for concert band, and they are really high-quality pieces. Is there a reason the process cannot be reversed (i.e. taking a work and making it a hymn)?

Good sound! From where are these voices?

Joy comes in me when I first sanged this song at my Friday bible study church.

Absolutely beautyful. Amazing!

I absolutely love this audio. Is there any way for me to purchase a digital copy for my Ipod?

@Dewberrydrops And my last point (maybe) is that the performers/arrangers obviously did not have the same perspective that you do. They do not consider that taking one of the best-known pieces in the world and changing it to honor their God an act of vandalism; rather, they are worshipping Him with a piece already considered beautiful. So it actually depends on the worldviews that you, me, and everyone else already has, as to whether or not changing the piece up could be considered vandalism.

@Dewberrydrops Need an extra post cause I ran out of characters (LOL); classical composers are been copying each other's works in 'grotesque parodies' since notation was invented! WHY would THIS particular SONG be unjustified (bearing in mind it doesn't have the same purpose as pure music, being a praise song)?



While I'm no fan of reworked classical music:
compliments, particularly on the arrangement, very tastefully done. Also recording is professional level and I like the lead singers whisper singing.
