Charles Wesley's deeply moving lyrics have never seen better, more inspiring treatment. what a beautiful work! A wonderful performance, too. Forrest's music keeps growing in depth and beauty.

At a workshop held earlier, Dan told us that he wanted to compose music that was appropriate to the message of this lovely hymn. It begins with a question and the opening music provides that inward, contemplative question: "Can it be?" ---------------- Sandra Pinkoski, Soprano, Knoxville Choral Society

I came across Dan Forrest's music about a year ago while doing a web search on John Ness Beck. I have found his arrangements to be virtually perfect settings for the lyrics. Whether he has arranged the traditional tune for the song or, as in the case, written a new tune, the music has always perfectly complemented the message of the lyrics. "And Can It Be" is among the best hymn texts ever written. The tune with which the lyric is most often associated is a good one but seems rather march-like for the personal nature of the text. Glad's acapella tune gets closer to the feel I get from this text and I have often enjoyed listening to it. But, Forrest's feel of "contemplative wonder" truly lays hold of the emotions I believe Charles Wesley experienced in considering the wondrous grace of God in saving such sinners as we are. Thanks be to God for such grace! And thanks be to God to give gifts to men to express His grace in such beautiful lyrics and moving music!

I was in that concert. Let me tell you, I know I fought back tears through almost the entire song. I'm sure I wasn't the only one either. This song is amazing to sing.

Now a fuller choral work than the original but the words are some what hidden.

Like this arrangement I do but the original is my preference due to my becoming a Christ one at my new life in Christ beginning.

And can it be that I should gain an int'rest in the Savior's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love how can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me. Amazing love how can it be that thou, my god shouldst die for me Long my imprisoned spirit lay fastbound in sin and nature's night. Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray: I woke the dungeon flamed with light. My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee No condemnation now I dread: Jesus, and all in Him, is mine. Alive in Him, my living head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach th'eternal throne, and claim the crown, thru Christ my own. Amazing love how can it be, that thou, my God, shouldst die for me
