And the master strikes again!! Way to bless the Lord with your talent!!!

[@walterfingerstyle]

+DLHerrod Jr. M.O.G. Thanks for watching :-) God bless!

[@jasonshin8707]

It's literally GOD's gift that the way you making chords. It sounds so beautiful

One can claim many things, but in the end one always shows exactly what one is. I have always rejoiced to hear you play the guitar, but it is until now that I hear you playing sacred music, that explains to me what it is that you radiate when you play songs: it is the spirit that you radiate. Thank you for what you share with us, yes, but above all thanks for what you radiate from yourself (for what you really are) and that you share with us through music. Thank you very much. God bless you and yours. Not only in these days of pandemic and Covid, but always. Always.

[@matonguitar]

Walter, your playing is BOTH spiritually uplifting AND musically interesting. A VERY rare combination!!! Thank you. (PS: I wish there were tabs for this!)

[@dennismwenda221]

I’ve probably already commented on this, but watching it again a year or so later, I’m even more flabbergasted but how awesome this performance is. What an arrangement of a classic song of praise! What an inspiring guitarist you are, Walter! Thank you

Cheers from Finland Walter! I found your channel a few months ago and I've watched all your videos. I really enjoy your smooth jazzy arrangements and groovy style of playing. And the old familiar gospel melodies are the best ones! Your videos have encouraged me to put up my own channel as well for guitar and vocal recordings. God bless you Walter and Happy Easter!

[@kikonrobz80]

God bless you... Thank you for this beautiful piece

[@justinskidmore9677]

I love this arrangement, it was my dad and grandmother's favorite song. I was wondering if I might request another Gaither's song arrangement, "You're Something Special". Either way thanks for this one!

[@kikonrobz80]

Wow... Just brilliant.. I will give anything just to play like you... 👍

[@nelsonfigueroa2014]

Bravo Walter!!! As always, so inspiring, many blessings to you my brother.

[@walterfingerstyle]

Thank you so much, Nelson! Blessings!

[@gilbertnoviansem6340]

Wow so many chord.. God Bless

[@C_Vigy]

i love the way you play jazz guitar, thank you for inspiring me. Happy Easter! GB

[@walterfingerstyle]

Thanks so much! God bless.

[@12nicky34]

Walter you play beautifully. I'd like to ask how you get such a lovely mellow tone to the godin? I own the same model and love the feel of it but struggle to not get a "quacky" type sound from it. I can play to a good standard but still struggle with it. I even own a Roland gr55 too and still here a "plastic" type sound from the guitar. (If that makes any sense?)

[@wiggelpuppy5474]

Another great video. Thanks for posting this.

[@socratese71]

Amen brother! Thanks for sharing. Great arrangement.

[@walterfingerstyle]

Thanks so much!

[@kellycoleman715]

How can anyone face tomorrow without knowing that He lives? Oh that you would know my Jesus. ❤️

Men, your song is amazing! God bless you forever!

[@kylebarnett350]

man that groove is happening!

[@walterfingerstyle]

+Kyle Barnett oh yeah :-) Thanks for checking it out, Kyle. All the best!

[@TheBassFreak]

That's incredibly impressive!!! Well done!

[@seretitian9085]

How sweet to hold a newborn baby And feel the pride and the joy that he gives Oh but greater still, the calm assurance We can face uncertain days because He lives And because He lives, I can face tomorrow Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds the future And life is worth a living just because He lives And then one day, I'll cross that river I'll fight life's final war with pain And then as death gives way to victory I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He reigns Because He lives, I can face tomorrow Because He lives, all fear is gone Because I know He holds the future And life is worth a living just because He lives He lives, He lives

[@samartist9319]

Absolutely marvelous Walter.. (Watch all your Vids!) Blessings to you Brother!

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

Walter, Thanks for recording this one... it's beautiful in many ways. You do it justice in may ways. I've chased 'Chet' for years ;) recently purchased a Godin nylong multiac (love it) but still play my 60's Goya classic for old times sake. Love your musicality.... especially all those 'Chinese' chords.

[@olimpiosalesjuniorsales]

Boa tarde, Walter. Me inscrevi no teu canal e desde então "viciei" em te ouvir tocar. Duas perguntas: Você é formado ou autodidata? O que estudar para chegar nesta fluência musical? Obrigado.
