  • 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!

    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. 😊

    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.

    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.

    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?"
