I ain't one of em- I don't do church or religion- but, when I heard this last night, I had to go out and have a cup of coffee and a cigarette to absorb just how meaningful the lyrics are and how sincere this home made production is- I asked in the comments on one of his videos what equipt he uses to record- he hasn't replied- oh, he uses his thumb as a pick

Garland, You found an absolute gem of song there. Love the lyrics too. That guy gets it. Very well sung and played too. Really enjoyed that.

A simple song, well played and well sung, with a deep and meaningful message; one of the most beautiful things to behold.

give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I
am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your
souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
- Jesus, from Matthew 11:28-30

I love his arrangement. There is a lady at Church that does a pretty good job on this song, she gets asked to do it several times a year.

It has the spirit of Thanksgiving, a reminder that we should always be thankful.

There are several covers of it. Jimmy Dean does one and I think he even added a verse.

I think it was a poem and music was put to it.

Jim, I thought I had seen Bill Anderson's name associated with it-

seagullplayer,Personally, I like Mr Snells version better than Jimmy Deans- his voice and demeanor and clothes better fit as well- I had honestly never heard it until the night before the day I posted it- I was looking for guidance for Some Days are Diamonds since I hadn't heard it in years- I remembered the chorus and some of the melody, but the rest of the lyrics and melody escaped me-

Wow that fellow has an amazing voice! A fine guitar player as well and nows exactly what a song needs! Both those songs were well done.

In the first video it looks like he's using a Shure SM58 microphone. He's probably got it connected to a mixer of some kind with a touch of reverb. It also appears that he's playing a nylon sting guitar in that video as well. Thanks for sharing! Garland,

seagullplayer , Nice song. Debuting a new-to-me song as well this morning.

I cannot finger pick like that so I'm just doing this strumming with my own flat picking for the acoustic. I also added a key changed chorus for the end for a triumphant climax. Also added one more verse from the original hymn. This version uses 3 out of the 5; I use 4 out of the 5.

Love this song and this version in particular though. Love the way the guy sings and finger picks this one. Wish I had learned how to finger pick like that.

WELCOME TO THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR CABIN!!!
