I miss everyone! Your music has saved me through the years! It's amazing how incredibly talented people like you can come together in one group. The current lineup is no exception! You have like the casting director of Avengers but for a cappella. lol

[@davidbarnes5280]

What part of this performance is authorized from scripture. Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

[@asimong]

Agree with Jonathan Croley -- the opening is beautiful, but I think keeping a slightly sparser arrangement throughout would work better for me. Could you do another take with the arrangement changed? For example, the rhythm section after 1:30 for me makes it shallower, as do some over-layered parts later. At 3:30 the feel of the lyrics are lost to me in an inappropriate thickness of texture. Then you get back to the lovely essential simplicity of it. Stick with that!

[@symetryrtemys2101]

Hmmm. Some really nice parts to this. I don’t think the beatbox sections fit in with the rest of it and I don’t think the beatbox adds anything which would be missed if omitted completely. Just my opinion.

[@Coolybanana]

Sometimes less is more....sorry dissonant notes doesn't fit in with this song....been tweaked too much it lost it's very essence.

[@paulkirkmanMYTRAINS]

Amazing !!!
