If you are listening to this, wondering if there is a Jesus- He is real. He's complete, tender love and He wants to know you. Look for Him and you'll easily find Him...

[@VaughanHouldsworth]

Amen, absolutely right, He is there all the time just waiting for everyone to turn to Him 🙏

[@kyrieeleison2038]

Thank you so much for sharing this Wonderfull rendition of this powerful, great hymn! Beautifully sung and played, and special thanks for that descant! Descants make me think of angels joining in, and carrying the praise and worship straight to the throne of God Himself❣️

[@TheMummatron]

The most wonderful words, most wonderful melody. Ful of wonder and joy of our Lord Jesus. Often sung in church like a dirge. Sing with the wonder of our salvation.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Amen, Anji. 🙏

[@Randolph1233]

The Mumatron, some people sing mournfully because they carry a heavy cross, and are worried about their loved ones. Keep optimistic, and be encouraging to the heavy laden.

[@johnnnah1463]

That someone there doesn't believe wouldn't detract anything. Jesus isn't in competition with idols and their worshippers. Remain blessed.

54年前第一次聽到胡沐穎姐姐在宣道會樹林堂育英街彈風琴自彈自唱此曲 我當時6歲 被主的愛感動至極無以復加 胡姐姐雙目失明卻謳歌宣揚主福音 每次我一聽到這首歌就會懷念您穿透人心的歌聲 “怎能如此 像我這樣罪人 ”我淚流滿面 真的感謝主這奇異的愛也臨到我 我叩首跪拜謝恩！

I so love a good organ interlude. Gives you that extra time to absorb the full beauty of the verse you've just sung and get a good few refreshing breaths in ready to belt the next one.

What I like about this rendition is the clarity, especially of the women singing. Praise God from whom all good things come.

Romans 13:14 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 4( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

If Hayley Westenra was a Celtic woman fanatic, #HayleyWestenra can she sing And Can It Be That I Should Gain?

[@charlessapp1835]

The only problem I have with this hymn is that God cannot die. Jesus' human body can die but not his divine nature. A better way to sing this is "That thou my "Lord" should die for me."

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Hi Charles. If we pursue this we can easily find ourselves back in the Christological debates of the third and fourth centuries. In the end the church came to the decision that Jesus was and is fully God and fully human - and therefore, to that extent God did die on the cross. Of course there is a paradox here because, as you rightly say, God cannot die. But to deny that God died when Jesus died risks denying the full divinity of Jesus. Deep waters indeed.
