You could go out on the street in just about any city in the world and sing it, and you would have 20 people joining in. I remember playing it for homeless gentlemen at a shelter in Seattle and to my surprise most of them were signing along by the second line. Its power and majesty combine with a very relatable idea that we are all in need of a Savior. Your worship team can really rock this one.
Worship bands of any skill level can make this hymn sound great. In short, Horatio Gates Spafford sent his family to Europe as he finished up business. On that trip, he lost his four young daughters in a shipwreck.
Only his wife was saved. He made a journey across the Atlantic to be reunited with his wife after the tragedy and wrote this song as he passed over the depths that took his daughters. This is one of my favorite modern hymns. Written in , it has all the gravitas and impact of classics written a hundred years earlier. He has really pulled off writing a modern hymn with this song.
Check out traditional interpretations like this one or the more modern version by Kristian Stanfill. This classic works well as a contemplative or upbeat tune. The congregation picks right up on it and loves it, whatever tempo you choose. This is another masterpiece by Townend. He is one of the few writers today who can match the majesty and depth of the old hymns.
