JON'S OFFICIAL CHANNEL "Arrangement inspired by the following verses:
A poor wayfaring Man of grief
Hath often crossed me on my way,
Who sued so humbly for relief
That I could never answer nay.
I had not power to ask his name,
Whereto he went, or whence he came;
Yet there was something in his eye
That won my love; I knew not why.
Once, when my scanty meal was spread,
He entered; not a word he spake,
Just perishing for want of bread.
I gave him all; he blessed it, brake,
And ate, but gave me part again.
Mine was an angels portion then,
For while I fed with eager haste,
The crust was manna to my taste.
In prisn I saw him next, condemned
To meet a traitors doom at morn.
The tide of lying tongues I stemmed,
And honored him mid shame and scorn.
My friendships utmost zeal to try,
He asked if I for him would die.
The flesh was weak; my blood ran chill,
But my free spirit cried, "I will!"
Then in a moment to my view
The stranger started from disguise
The tokens in His hands I knew;
The Savior stood before mine eyes.
He spake, and my poor name He named,
Of Me thou hast not been ashamed.
These deeds shall thy memorial be;
Fear not, thou didst them unto Me."
Favorite part: 3:30-3:50. Absolutely beautiful.

This piece is so poignantly beautiful, it actually brought tears to my eyes. If you know me, accomplishing that feat is HUGE! Thank you for composing, playing, and recording such wonderful music.
