Coming soon to a couch near you! We’ve been booking some intimate home shows in the Portland area this summer and are looking for some more homes to invade. So if you would like to host an Acoustic Living Room Concert please let us know!
Hymn #342 (Live at Mystic)
My friend Tanner Johnson came down to Southern Oregon to record his amazing violin talents on some songs we were working on in the studio, and this impromptu concert is what happened later in the evening after a full day in the studio.
This first song we did is my new rendition of Charles Wesley’s first hymn, “Where Shall My Wondering Soul Begin?”, which is found today as Hymn #342 in the United Methodist Hymnal. I took some liberties to convert the hymn into more of a modern worship chorus, and this is the result. Enjoy as Nick Garrett-Powell, Tanner and I jam it up in my parent’s living room.
Lyrics
Hymn #342
Where shall my wondering soul begin?
How shall I all to heaven aspire?
A slave redeemed from death and sin,
A brand plucked from eternal fire
O how shall I the goodness tell,
Father, which thou to me has shown?
That I, a child of wrath and hell,
Should be called a child of God
Should be called a child of God
Outcasts of men, to you I call,
Harlots, and publicans, and thieves!
He spreads his arms wide to embrace us all;
All us sinners his grace we receive
How shall I equal triumphs raise,
Or sing my great Deliverer’s praise?
Based on the first hymn by Charles Wesley, found today as Hymn #342 in the United Methodist Hymnal.
