    This has been my all-time favorite Gospel song since I was five years old (I'm in my sixties now); I heard it for the very first time, when my favorite Auntie played her piano and sang it to me. She's gone Home now.⛅
    I just heard this rendition at the end of the Netflix program about the volcano; just the first three notes, and I burst into tears, 'cause I knew exactly what it was. I wept for missing my Auntie; I wept for the people who had suffered life-altering injuries; I wept for those who had succumbed, and those who grieve the loss of their loved ones. This piece of music was the most excellent, beautiful, fitting tribute to them that could possibly be offered up. Thank you for this wonderful Gift.💗

    I've always loved this song ever i was a little girl.
    I've heard many versions, which were also beautiful..
    but STILL none touched me so deeply as THIS one.
    It makes me cry....for many reasons, but also because these singers sing it SO incredibly beautiful.

    The older I get the harder it seems to finish singing this song cos you feel the pain you felt for everyone you've had to sing it for in the past.
    A song that sums up a lifetime of love and loss.

    Music is one of the many pleasures life has to offer. How you can attach it to a certain memory and the feelings it can bring out of you. Literally broke down in tears for 20min after listening to this as it took me back to the moment we closed my Nana's casket and this was the song we sung when doing so. Amazing cover to an amazing song. Well done!!!

    I gratefully just stumbled across this following listening to 'He pikinga poupou e' and what a beautiful start to my morning I am now having - absolutely stunning everything - Teeks and Hollie's voices, the harmonising, the gospel choir, the church, the filming, the space in the song, the piano, King Home Boy.. mīharo mīharo mīharo xx thank you!
