Just want to say that I don't care who wrote the song, it is one of the most moving ones I've ever heard. As for the Methodist and Catholic who said they would not want it used in their services, I think anyone who really listened to the words would disagree with them. Our Methodist Church would use it any time and most especially at Easter. Joe said it's most suited for one of those country-western born again churches....all I can say is I'm glad I belong to one of them.
