The four part harmony tells the story, Our lives are a 4 part harmony. The life we exhibit to the world around us; the one our relatives and friends see; the life that the closeness and intimacy of a very close friend or spouse; and the hidden life within our hearts and minds. When all four of these agree, there is a harmony that gives glory to the Lord Jesus. Thank you Chris for this illustration and reminder of His Love.

I was half way into the song before I realized it was one person singing the whole thing! Ha ha! Well done, great key changes. I have to sing this at a funeral tomorrow and wanted to see how others sing it. It is such a wonderful song of Jesus love for us. I learned that the author, Katherine Hankey, 1834-1911 was associated with the Clapham sect of William Wilberforce, a group of prominent evangelical Anglicans from the Clapham area in England. This group helped to establish the British and Foreign Bible Society, promoted the abolition of slavery, and was involved in improving the lot of England's working classes.
