Really like this rendition, Herb. One of my favorite hymns. I like the arrangement, and the grittiness of your interpretation. I was familiar with the back story on this hymn, born out of severe tragedy, revealing great trust. It is a very humbling, yet inspiring song.
Bob Sorge wrote a book called Exploring Worship some time back. There is an interesting section about the contemporary styles of praise and worship. Here is a brief excerpt:
"A prominant American glergyman compiled the following ten reasons for opposing the new music trend of his day:
1. It's too new, like an unknown language.
2. It's not so melodious as the more established style.
3. There are so many new songs that it is impossible to learn them all.
4. This new music creates disturbances and causes people to act in an indecent and disorderly manner.
5. It places too much emphasis on instrumental music rather than on godly lyrics.
6. The lyrics are often worldly, even blasphemous.
7. It is not needed, since previous generations have gone to heaven without it.
8. It is a contrivance to get money.
9. It monopolizes the Christians' time and encourages them to stay out late.
10. These new musicians are young upstarts, and some of them are lewd and loose persons.
These ten reasons are adapted from a 1723 statement against the use of ---- hymns!"
So, even though my dad would not appreciate modern instrumentation/arrangement of this old hymn, I say - go for it! Give us some more!
Steve
I'm glad you popped in and took a listen. And.... that you liked it. I'll probably do at least one more in this manner.

Herb,
A good "update" to a hymn. The guitars are well done - nice lead - and nice harmonies.
I thought the snare could have used some reverb so that it did not sit in front of the vocal. The cymbals in the chorus need to be toned down. They are loud and harsh...and completely take over the mix. The rest works.

They are loud and harsh...and completely take over the mix. The rest works. glad you like this version FJ. As I have commented on previously..... I hate that the drums are all on one track. If I use EQ to tame the cymbals.... that throws off the snap of the snare.... if I add verb to the snare, it muddles up the cymbals and the rest of the kit. I might need to find another way to do my drums because they are in fact the biggest issue I have with a top quality production. I'm generally pressed for time, but I might just have to see if I can convert the read drum tracks to midi somehow and then use my DAW to split them into multiple tracks and that gives me the power to decree which part of the kit shall get verb and which part shall get EQ. or maybe I can experiment a bit with my existing drum synths for a bit..... but real drums are so quick and convenient, despite their shortcoming of all being on the same track.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
