Dear Brother Elliot, I want to share with you that a beloved Brother & friend, Russel Fender, passed away last Sunday. He was a veteran & a retired police officer, but most importantly, he was a devout Christian for 60 years. He was very old school and never bothered with modern technology. But when covid happened last year, I convinced him to allow me to get him WiFi and a Roku, just so that I could introduce him to this channel. And I want you to know that for the past year, you made this world a better place for both him and his wife. He loved, loved, loved, getting up in the morning, turning on a cappella hymns, and listen to your wonderfully gifted voice, singing praises to our Lord. It’s been a bittersweet time for me ‘cause selfishly I miss him so much, though I know he’s in a better place now and is not suffering anymore. We had many talks about you and this channel. His response always was; “oh, God bless him so much.” And well, I just want to say “thank you kindly Brother.” Hope you and your family are doing well, staying safe, and blessed in the Lord. In Christian love.❤️

@@acappellahymns my wife does hospice work, she's a CNA. She uses it with her patients. So wonderful how God has blessed us all with his Holy Spirit. I share the songs you guys put out as part of witnessing. Which is great cause you guys are witnessing and worshipping showing communion of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

This is a "newer" song for me; I only heard it relatively recently. I am completely captivated by the last verse (your v5). Quite a thought: do we care more for what He gives, or for Him? Truly, the Lamb is ALL the glory of that land! Your verses 3 and 4 are new from the ones I've seen.

I wish you could just do every song from the Songs of Faith and Praise book! I know it would probably take you forever since you do all the singing and editing yourself, but a girl can dream, right? 😉

[@acappellahymns]

😁 Eventually I'll have a lot more recordings up. As long as I have a voice, computer(s), and the free time, I'll keep working on this channel.

This a beautiful worded song with a powerful message of comfort and assurance. Is it possible(legal) to share what song book this is found in..?

[@acappellahymns]

It is definitely legal for me to tell you what song book this is in! Well, it's in quite a few song books exactly like this. But I recorded it out of Praise for the Lord. You can also go here - hymnary.org/text/the_sands_of_time_are_sinking - and legally download hymnal scans of this song.

Are you still upgrading your studio recording equipment?

[@acappellahymns]

I got a new audio interface which was the biggest purchase. The new microphone stand was covered about a year ago through GoFundMe. I tried out a different microphone and preamp this past year (also very expensive) but sold them since I didn't see the improvement that I thought I would. Now I'm saving up to replace my aging desktop computer where I do all of my editing, mixing and I'd like to replace my hand-me-down budget laptop that I currently record on but it's less of an issue. My wife and I have broke ground on our first house. Basement is nearly dug out and we hope to start on the basement slab in a couple of weeks. So this channel - and associated expenses - will be taking a back seat for a little while once I get the next two recordings out (recorded about 2 months ago). Hope that helps?

[@donwilson7166]

@@acappellahymns please link me to gofundme page again. Hope to see you continue recording and blessing others. Please don't stop. God bless you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

[@acappellahymns]

Here's the link - www.gofundme.com/Elliotsacappellahymns That campaign has sort of died down (which is okay). I've shifted more efforts recently to Patreon where I can more easily 'give back' for those that support this work. Here is the link to that if you'd like to check it out - www.patreon.com/acappellahymns I won't stop recording. It's definitely a passion of mine! But I'll likely need to take a break from it since most of my free time will be spent swinging a hammer! 😄
