This song means so much to me. Melody Green Composed it and Keith Green sang it. I was 26th at the time and I like you played the piano. Christian music just started to evolve. I play like you, only at this point I am pretty old. At the time I was really struggling. I just finished Seminary. The kids in our ministry really loved this and other songs like it. I remember Keith Green singing the son in a small gathering. It was so amazing. Our hearts were bonded. Then he died and a piece of me went away. Brings back a lot of memories. I am guessing you play in a church somewhere. That is good.
Beautiful. Love this song, and appreciate your arrangement. Your focus on the lyrics comes through clearly in your interpretation, which is vital, in any church pianist. Love the quiet, contemplative first verses, the triumphant final verse, and the end, which draws one back into quiet consideration of the work Christ lovingly completed in our place, on the cross. Thank you for using your gift from Him to bless so many!
Absolutely love the piece and I really enjoy your very heartfelt style of playing, Andrew. Looking forward to more of your videos. Enjoy your playing on the Church broadcast!
Andrew, gotta admit, your fingers know their way around those keys, but I can't help feeling like your chord choices are a bit lacking. It's a solid effort, but it could use a bit more oomph, you know? Maybe try injecting some more passion and taking a few risks to really elevate your performance. Don't settle for just okay, man, aim for greatness in the realm of music!
Your left hand is too heavy, it was very muddy. Some of it was pleasant but the texture didn't work and felt a bit jumpy in the louder moments. The end felt very weird as well with a quiet ending felt like a shock so not bad but was a bit of a strange arrangement of a tender piece.
I do the same exact thing on several of my accompaniments, especially on worshipful songs like this. Like, “Before the Throne of God Above.” Start simply and softly… I love the volume and emphasis on “one with Himself I cannot die,” but then softer when we repeat the first verse at the end. The point of music is to worship the Lord and prepare hearts for the preaching - some folks need a shock to wake up.
This arrangement is a horrible injustice to the beauty of the original music and text. A valiant effort, but the lack of emotion behind the arrangement gives one the impression that the musician is a robot, lacking the human quality of the classic Dutch pianists of the late 19th century.

You guys are crazy. But thanks for the transparent feedback! 😂

Love your playing, but the ghastly out-of-tuneness prevented me from appreciating the work.
Thanks for commenting! Hoping to get it tuned next week 🥴

Your comment feels a bit...robotic. 😎
Wuuuuut???? Couldn’t disagree more.
