46 here. Cross legged at school Assembly in the UK. We used to sing hymns and so on but this was different. Even at 5 I knew this was purer than the hymns.

[@shannonvanderhoof4810]

We sang this in a choir performance also. I was 10 years old. Now, I'm quite a bit wiser. And my love for music Just keeps on growing.. Like a blooming flower Within the Garden of life. Born in 1963.. 🤗 My Great G*Mamma Called it "plenty 9" ❤

It's painful and glorious at the same moment ,God Bless this creator.

[@timothypridell357]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[@SpiffyHeart-vc8kb]

I cried too, as many here did. My husband was appoint by the UMC Methodist Bishop to an historic church in St. Louis. Lafayette Park UMC. At that time, I was really into interpretive dance. Where I felt like it was a prayer, and I danced to this song. I pulled out a silk yellow scarf from the baptismal font….danced behind the altar rail, and when I joyfully did a spin off the altar rail, to land and go up the aisle, (kinda’ shocking the congregation) was something me and God were doing together, that morning☯️ Im old now, and treasure this song….that moment, and the memories of that church❣️God was SPRINGING fresh from the world….THE word! 🥹

[@sandrasilver9265]

This song will always bring tears to my eyes and remind me of all the other wonderful songs from the 70's!
