Will is playing my favorite hymn, Praise My Soul the King of Heaven. Words are below the video. These words mean a lot to me, “Well our feeble frame he knows…”
Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven;
To His feet thy tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Evermore His praises sing:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King.
Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress.
Praise Him still the same as ever,
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Glorious in His faithfulness.
Fatherlike He tends and spares us;
Well our feeble frame He knows.
In His hands He gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Widely yet His mercy flows.
Angels, help us to adore Him;
Ye behold Him face to face;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him,
Dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace.

That makes me wanna cry..
I think of my mom who went back to college in her 50′s and received her music degree. then she learned how to play the organ.. Our Church let her practice on theirs…
When I was saved in 1997 and began going back to Church I heard my mom play one day as she filled in for the organist one Sunday. I did not know my mother was that good….
Will is fantastic and the words to that song are absolutely consoling and comforting that God could love us so much to give us such a wonderful gift as his SON…
Thanks for sharing Mrs Ingrid

Thank you for the beautiful reminder:
Alleluia! Alleluia! (He is)
Glorious in His faithfulness.

Psalm 103 in poetry. One of my favorite hymns, too. I remember where and when I learned it.

What a fantastic hymn, precious food for all the hunger of our starving souls with the inspired words and glorious music blended together to aid us in our holy contemplation! Will does such a beautiful job of majestically playing this gift of words and music both of which combine together to raise our souls and spirits to the heights of heaven’s glory where the angels of God are privileged daily to behold the face of our Creator and victorious Redeemer. As we sing and hear these words we realize that what we are doing is joining with all the saints of God washed white in the blood of the Lamb who now with the angels stand in the light of His holy glory. What a privilege and joy we Christians in this often dreary wilderness have to look to the heavens in Spirit-led contemplation of that time apart from time itself when we, too, shall find ourselves in the epitome of holy peace and happiness and glory without end in the very presence of King of Heaven! Thank you so much, Ingrid, for sharing these remarkable talents of Will and the comfort conveyed through his stately yet humble rendition of this wonderful hymn of the Church. Many continued blessings,
Pastor John Struve

Wonderful hymn, and fabulous job Will!
My favorite verse: “Slow to chide, and swift to bless.” Aren’t we glad that is God’s nature!!! None of us could endure if He were like us…
