Alleluia! This will be the second song we sing at church today. Blessings Chris: thank you for this ministry!

[@andrewjohnson410]

Where would I be without you? As a cantor, you are the first person I turn to on KZbin for practice. We’re both tenors, and our voices seem to match fairly well. God’s blessing for you, my friend.

[@venezolana27]

Thank you for being an instrument of God. When I feel sad or down, I always listen to you, and you lift me up with your beautiful voice and kindness

[@nmjazz09]

Love this hymn and always enjoy your singing and playing, so rightly done.

[@florindadayao2440]

I always listen to your songs.

[@Chatomob]

Sang this at Mass this week. The words are exactly what the Gospel was. Beautiful song and brought me to tears.

[@SF-ru3lp]

Such a blessing Mr Hurd. Thank you. So very blessed. Thank you for sharing it Mr Brunelle. G Ire

[@georgesouza]

Just used this song at OLM School this AM for our Weekly Friday Masses and it was perfect with the priest's homily about how do we know that Jesus rose from the dead? The kids were great. The kids sang it so beautifully, I was moved. Thanks for your help as always.

[@ChrisBrunelle]

You’re welcome! I love this song

[@lora4all]

Chris, I can't express my gratitude enough for you! Your quality playing and singing have saved me so many times from embarrassment. The music directors I sing with assume every singer learns instantly. But after listening to you, I can begin rehearsal with confidence. Plus I can take direction from the music directors with ease since I am familiar with the psalm, hymn, or song. You make such a big difference!

[@ChrisBrunelle]

That’s wonderful to hear! I’m so glad I can help. God bless you and your ministry team ❤️

[@jocelynreyes9469]

Beautiful voice ,Chris! Thank you so much for sharing your God given gift voice and talent! I really enjoy listening to your songs .🙏🙏🙏❤️God bless you and your family always.

[@ChrisBrunelle]

Thank you!!!

[@geraldammons5520]

Big time "agreed"!

[@d.t.3495]

[@michaelforeman9075]

You sing absolutely beautiful. I listen to you daily and sing along as I sing in our church choir and know most of those hymns.I love it❤

[@ChrisBrunelle]

Thank you! 😊

[@lawrencescalzo4940]

very good intro to all these great songs catholic God bless you i play them at church too after listening to your style

[@Jimpix57]

Turns out I needed your 7 year old recording. Thanks.

[@seengme]

This song is so beautiful, it makes me cry. I hope I can get through it this weekend!

[@terrapin227]

One of my favorites. I capo this on the 3rd fret and play in "A" but really in C

[@cathleenherbage8512]

Love this!

[@ChrisBrunelle]

It's a really wonderful song, and I think I do it pretty well. I'd be happy to sing this for you guys :-)

[@m.harris2429]

So touching...your voice is soothing and calming...thank you!

[@annehill699]

I, too, look for your version of any new song. You sing simply and without extra "flourishes". It's so easy to learn from you. Thank you so very much. Blessings on you.

[@ChrisBrunelle]

That was always my goal….make it easy to learn from. Thank you for the kind words :)

[@maryliddell6173]

All the songs that you have been singing makes it easy for anyone I should say...to sing along to, Chris and this is one of them, so thank you very much for sharing. Easter Blessings to you.

[@ChrisBrunelle]

You're very welcome! I really love this one

[@Missip671]

I just sang this at my school mass with my 6th grade choir and I fell in love with it good job you have a great voice

[@ChrisBrunelle]

MANDYCAT ALLEN yes it's a really great melody and fun to sing. Thanks!

[@lawrencemblam4613]

Two were bound for Emmaus disheartened and lost. All their hope for the future had been nailed to a cross. Love unknown then walked beside them, Come back from the dead, And they knew he was risen in the breaking of bread. On the Sea of Tiberius when the night was nearly gone, And their toil seemed so useless, not one fish had they caught, From the shore the stranger called to them: "Cast your net, friends, once more." And they filled it to bursting, but the net was not torn. Then they knew it was Jesus and they hastened in to shore Bread and fish for their breakfast from the hands of their Lord. "O Peter, if you love me you must care for my sheep; If you follow your Shepherd, then a shepherd you'll be." When the roads make us weary when our labor seems but lost, When the fire of faith weakens and too high seems the cost, Let the Church turn to its risen Lord who for us bore the cross, And we'll find our hearts burning at the sound of his voice. Two were bound for Emmaus disheartened and lost. All their hope for the future had been nailed to a cross. Love unknown then walked beside them, Come back from the dead, And they knew he was risen in the breaking of bread.

[@bullyazorian]

Very well sung Chris. I shall be cantoring this coming week and it is one of the songs I shall be singing. Thank you

[@ChrisBrunelle]

I really love this song. Happy to be singing it this coming week. :-)

[@jazzairwaves]

I really like your rendition of this song! Excellent guitar work. Yes, we've all had our share of capo malfunctions. We'll be adding this to our repertoire. Thank you for sharing, you're an inspiration! Happy Easter Chris!!!

[@ChrisBrunelle]

jazzairwaves Happy Easter to you! If there's ever a song I can help you with, let me know!

Thanks much it's a big help to use capo

[@ChrisBrunelle]

You're welcome. I didn't realize I had recorded it in the wrong key until after I'd published it, but it all works out. God Bless!

[@ChrisBrunelle]

LOL. I just realized as I watched this that I had my capo on. Should have been in the key of C (not Db as it is with the capo). Oops

[@talitakum5569]

+Chris Brunelle Never mind! I just finished my translation to German, and your video helped a lot with my rehearsal. Next friday I'll sing this for my 4th graders at church. Thank you very much for uploading!

[@ChrisBrunelle]

Talita Kum Excellent! So glad I could help

[@roberthastings708]

All is good Chris. D flat suits your voice and making a capo mistake really on matters if everyone else is C. I've been there. At Mass. I got "the look" 😮.

[@glendatraigo8573]

Is it communion during Easter?

[@elenafeick9459]

One of my favourites :) I wish I could play as well as you are in this.. Is there a TAB of this anywhere? :)

[@ChrisBrunelle]

Thanks! And, no I don't know of tabs. I don't use them myself....I understand HOW they work I'm just not experienced with them

[@barrycornwall1115]

Hi Chris - I have loved this song for many years. I bought the music from OCP. We have a man in our congregation who has felt the call to ministry. He will speak via our semi-live stream on April 11 via KZbin. Is there any way we could have permission to use your beautiful setting of this song during that service? It is perfect for where he has been and is going. I totally understand if this isn't possible. BHC

[@ChrisBrunelle]

Hi! Well yes you have MY permission to use the video, but that does not necessarily absolve you from all copyright issues because I didn’t write or publish the song so I don’t hold those copyrights. I can put you in touch with someone at OCP if you want to check into that part of it :)

[@barrycornwall1115]

@@ChrisBrunelle Yes, I would really appreciate it. Thank you, and blessings on your Easter music. Our church remains closed so we will be outside, handbells and all!!! Peace - Barry
