I'm not currently in church but as a child we sang this song in church a lot. As an apostolic church we sang all our songs with gusto of it wasn't loud you weren't doing it right. But this song is so gentle and from the heart it deserves to be sung with deap emotion and care. A truly beautiful thought as well as a fantasticly simple melody.

Hello Kaleb. So glad I found your channel. Peace be unto you. Reading Psalm 42 out loud, as prayer, and in prayer as you play this. As I pray and weep, I recall before God my Mum, Eva who would've been 92 today. May Christ rest her soul and all of our loved ones asleep in The Lord. I needed to cry as things have been building in my mind, heart and soul for weeks now. Thank you for using your talent for God's glory and to bless us during these troubled times. Lord, have mercy. May The Holy Trinity Bless and keep you.

[@deehen9844]

Kaleb, never mind the few that dislike 👎your presentation. It is soul changing and spiritual water to the spirit of God's true people. That song is taken from Psalms 42:1. The entire chapter was the heart of King David and his cry 😭 to God after he had experienced the critics of God who was array themselves in the house God. King David a truly repented man; repented man after God’s own heart. He was sincere. And David's worship was born out of a true spirit. It is what God desires from us whether we are singing, playing and instrument, or just standing in the mist as one presents worship to God. A job well 👏👌done Kaleb. I like it👍
