- And Can It Be That I Should Gain
Words by: Charles Wesley
Music by: Thomas Campbell
Arranged by: David Wesley
The title of this hymn is a mouthful, just as many of its phrases are tricky to sing! The lyrics take us through a poetic rendering of Charles Wesley's conversion experience. Unfortunately, I couldn't incorporate all the verses to fill out the story!
"And Can It Be" has been lingering on my to-do list for many years, but I didn't think I could pull it off in the key needed to give the bass part room to move. This was a challenge to record, and I'm glad I took the extra time to get it done right. I hope you enjoy and share this video far and wide!

I'm no singer but I sing this at home a lot and it echoes beautifully in the garage with the door open 🎶🎶✝️👑💖
We're doing this one in our hymn study this year for homeschool. A Wesleyan classic. First Charles and now David! 😆
No relation, I can promise you.
We are too. Awesome!
This is my favorite hymn. ❤ My favorite stanza is "Long my imprisoned spirit lay..." When I was 8, I remember singing this and thinking how cool it was a story; I have loved this hymn ever since. I turn 50 this year. 😊
David, you are an incredible artist and witness to Jesus
Love this hymn. It is still being sung in the Methodist church. The lyrics are so inspirational.
Oh I LOVE this song. You just never hear the old hymns anymore!! Such a talent Thanks for sharing it with us!!!
I am a Methodist and we still sing them. They are beautiful.
Now I am on my patio and singing with you Brother ✝️👑😊🎶
What a refreshing improvisation on this trusted old hymn. Wesley by Wesley. Or rather, Wesley by Wesleys 😅
Thank you SO MUCH for this very, very uplifting song!!! I'm lifting you in prayer today for God to richly bless you, your family, and your ministry!!! 🙏❤️🫂🙂
I wish to thank you for sharing this Christian Hymn video with me . Amen
Wow! Beautiful hymn that we don’t hear too often anymore. Wonderful voice! All praise to God and thank you for this video.
I was just singing this while doing dishes tonight 😊🎶✝️👑💞🎶
Such a lovely arrangement David. Your range is amazing!! Vocal control is always perfect! Love the key change! I used to sing this at my old Anglican church.
This song was playing in my head all morning now I see that David made a cover for it! Praise the Lord 🙌
Thank goodness you were able to do one of my favorite hymns I rose went forth and followed thee
Fantastic job now I'm ready for praise and worship and rejoicing at church. It all sounds beautiful. Praise the Lord!!!!! 😁💖🙌
Another successful rendition of a classic. Continue to serve your many gifts to the world.
"Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before His presence with singing. For the Lord God id good and His mercies endure and extend to many generations. Much love....
One of my very favorite songs. Thank you for making this arrangement of it, Sir! I can't sing it like I used to when I was younger and had a higher range, but I now appreciate the other parts (i.e., harmonies) that I could never appreciate when I was younger and only sang melody in choirs or groups. I really appreciate arrangements where I can hear the harmonies so clearly.
Thanks so much!
Wow! ... another to add to my favorites!
This is a wonderful arrangement and so beautifully sung! I have always loved this hymn and haven’t heard it in quite some time. Thank you for bringing back these amazing songs, David! I love this ministry you share with us. We truly appreciate all of your time, energy, and hard work you put into these! You’re such a blessing to all! Keep up the great work! God bless you! ❤🙏🏻✝️🎶
I love this song and I love what you did with it!
How can it be
Do we deserve his love?
The CROSS says yes.
Blessings to you, David, and family. And all who grasp this
AMAZING LOVE
Old school. I love it.
One of my favorites ✝️👑💖
Wonderful music and singing. God be with you, your family and loved ones.
Beautiful!!! I clicked on it as soon as it came up.
Beautiful
Fabulous harmonies!!!
Glory be to God thank you for the cross! This was a blessing thanks for sharing!
Thank so much🙏🏻
@Davidwesley that was awesome! Tight harmony! Chills! I can't wait to sing around God's throne! Can you even imagine?!
one of my fav hymns. David, your harmonies are rich, satisfying, and masterful. Keep up the work for our amazing Savior! And please produce another medley!
That was great! My new favorite rendition of "And Can It Be." Thank you for sharing!
Happy birthday david
Wow - thanks!!
This is one of those songs that really makes me stop and consider the lyrics every time its sung. "How can it be that Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?" How is that even possible? I am guilty of singing hymns many times and not thinking about what is being said, but this one is never just rote for me, every single time i hear that particular phrase, i cant help but stop and think and dwell on that amazing aspect of what has been done for me.
Hello, David. Thank you very much for your ministry in music.
Terrific work, David! Thanks for sharing your talent for God's glory.
Outstanding!!
WE GAINING AN INTEREST IN THE SAVIOR'S BLOOD WITH THIS ONE, BOYS ‼️‼️🗣🗣
What a blessing!!! 🙏
Absolutely beautiful! Just clicked on the video and the song instantly lifted my spirit! Truly appreciate your ministry 🙏
Boom 💥 Great job again David! Ooooo, you do do great key changes. And a nice ending
I second this comment, hear hear!
Can't wait for these songs to be uploaded to Spotify.
@@mikemuchimba2825 I’m sorry, but I can’t put everything up there. Spotify makes itself rich while artists struggle to pay the bills!
@DavidWesley I didn't know about that, and that's sad.
Do you have a website where we can purchase?
No - that ends up getting complicated for other reasons. Less so for public domain hymns like this, but cover songs require licensing.
Thank you for all your wonderful work!❤
Love, love, love this ❤
Actually was able to hum along with you! Just beautiful, thank you! Amen 🙏
That was exceptionally beautiful! Thank you.
this is my favorite arrangement of this song. i listen to it when i'm having anxiety attacks and it calms me right down. i'm in tears. thank you. amazing love! ♥✝
God bless you and your friend for this miraculous and heavenly piece of art
So so beautifull! 🥰
Definitely made it in my David Wesley’s Top 5 videos. Love it.
Amen my brother…”Amazing LOVE-how can it be?!?!” Beautiful song beautifully sung-I’m really lik’n the beat boxing layer🤙🏼🙂🙏🏼. Thank you for continuing to be so faithful in sharing the gift God has given you with others!!
Very nice! I just added this to a list of old hymns that I want my sons to be familiar with. Thank you for recording some of these old gems!
I SO enjoy your renditions and always feel more connected and rejuvenated, letting your musical creativity surround my atmosphere. Thank you so much for sharing your God given tallents with the world! 🙌
Amen, one of the greatest hymns.
Perfect. Thank you!
Thank you for the blessing bestowed from you sharing your talent. Discovered you late in your UA-cam career. Sad to see you leave.
Amazing love indeed ❤.
God bless you David
Keep 'em coming! Hymns are such amazing gifts to us all~ I really miss them and am so thankful that I memorized so many of them. Thank you for the gift of your voice and talents arranging these! A huge blessing!

I think that this hymn, and Amazing Grace, are two of the best hymns ever. You’ve put this together so well (as usual) and was such a treat to be able to listen to you singing these wonderful words ❤

I can't buy your albums since they're on Itunes or Spotify. I wish I could send more but thank you for your ministry.
They will be on all major services, not just those one. Some streaming platforms are ad-supported, so won’t cost you anything to listen. Thanks for the $tip. :)

Thank you for this interesting/creative arrangement :) I like how you have used the accompaniment to create interest and a sense of a movement despite the many stanzas of the song. May God continue to use your efforts for His Kingdom!
Beautiful, once again!
Love this! Thanks.
My favorite hymn! Amazing love! 🙌🏻
Thank u! ❤
Thank you so much for this! Beautiful!
my favorite song 🥰🥰🥰
Wesley singing a hymn of Wesley is precious, right? ❤ The night when the house burnt down, John and Charles were the last two to be rescued. But the mom who laid hands on them and prayed each night knew that they would escape and survive, because she prayed with the hope of a future mission in both of them. Today it's Charles' song in his own words, "Who can explore his strange design?"
Um abraço da Amazônia/Brasil 🇧🇷. Deus seja louvado 🙏
I love your "solo" chorus hymns more than the (admittedly incredible) virtual choirs. You have such a wonderful voice. And the skills required to do these! Thank you!
Excellent!
