That is a classic song. Last time I sang that was at the funeral of my wife's aunt. It was her favorite hymn. The family wanted me to sing it with guitar . Man that was the hardest song to get through that I ever sang. Not a dry eye in the assembly. I'll never let myself be talked into doing that again. It was tough.

Nice version. I agree with the comments on the vocal stabs, boominess, and highs. The stabs are just a matter of rephrasing to a more natural way of saying it. The rest is rolling off the lows and highs with EQ. As far as the backing tracks.... That really didn't make a difference to me. That's just a personal preference and I wasn't focusing on the tracks. This song is all about the words and the vocal delivery.
