My friend Russ suggested that I record this in honor of our new Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod President, Matt Harrison, who happens not only to be a great theologian, but a banjo picker as well.
I am giving Russ his banjo back next week, so I thought I had better fulfill my obligation, considering the kindness of the loan. He has been busy studying Greek, so he hasn't had much time for playing, but now I have to say goodbye to my favorite banjo.
Man! I think Martin Luther, one of the greatest servants of God, would be mighty proud!

@pegcage This is my favorite hymn. Luther was criticized for using such a strong melody for this hymn. I am hoping this would be acceptable to people. I like singing it this way too, just not in front of people. At church, I still like to hear it played on the organ, really loud.

This is my favorite hymn and what a unique uplifting way to present it. This hymn was played at my daughters funeral. She was such a country girl, it would have been wonderful to have this type played for her. She rests now in the country near the horses.

@ufsi84 I am sorry to hear about your daughter. Luther, who wrote this song lost his young daughter Magdalena as well. I can only imagine the grace that would be needed to come through that.

That was so good it was wicked. How many tracks did you lay down for that? Seemed very sophisticated. Nice rhthm elements. Loved it.
