Chris, I joined a Catholic Church choir, and it’s a learn-by-listening kind of format. I’m so grateful to have “found” you on KZbin. Thank you SO much. …Jean

Well, wonderful to hear that you've joined the choir! And I'm glad what I do has been helpful. God bless 🙂

I always like seeing your videos. Keep up the good work. I just pulled this out Sunday afternoon, and had never heard it. I saw the 152 quarter note, but as I played this, never having heard it, I was at about a 130 quarter note. I might be feeling it more like 6/8 than 6/4. I always find it interesting how songs can be interpreted in different ways, and how the original writer would feel. As a writer over the years, I have taken some of my songs that were fast, and re-arranged them slow acoustic style. Or a ballad style re-arranged into a more pop-rock feel. I think this is one of the beautiful things about music. This song, the faster version, possibly better in the upbeat settings. For communion, maybe the slower would be better? Anyways, so many songs out there, and here I am just learning this, and never heard it, in 2022. Thanks for what you do. Peace. Frazier

Sounds like you’re doing great…you have a good handle on this song. Yes, I fee this song is a good example of one that could be done at a variety of tempos, depending on where in the service it is placed

Can you please posts the Chords.

[@ChrisBrunelle]

There’s a link in the description, and at the end of the video for where you can go to buy it at OCP.org. Me just giving the chords away takes money away from the composers and the publisher, and I’m friends with most of them. If you find the song on the OCP website you can usually look at a “preview” of the song, and you’d be able to see the chords
