about

This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite hymns. It was written in 1907 by a woman named Adelaide A. Pollard. The story of its composition from Cyberhymnal.org goes like this:
Pol­lard be­lieved the Lord want­ed her in Af­ri­ca as a mis­sion­a­ry, but she was un­a­ble to raise funds to go. In an un­cer­tain state of mind, she at­tend­ed a pray­er meet­ing, where she heard an el­der­ly wo­man pray, “It’s all right, Lord. It does­n’t mat­ter what You bring in­to our lives, just have Your own way with us.” At home that night, much en­cour­aged, she wrote this hymn.

There's not much more I can say about this song except that I daily try to pray these powerful lyrics.

This version is a straight forward-ish country waltz with somewhat tricky timing. Every time a new drummer sits down to play this tune with us it takes a few run throughs to get the pacing. In order to learn the subtleties of the timing and melody I remember playing video games for a full hour with John Fogerty's version on repeat blasting in my headphones. The highlight of this recording has to be Nicole DeGreg's stellar violin solo.
