It’s beautiful. Otherwise I wouldn’t have featured it. So how come I missed it?

BTW, feelings and emotions are not the purpose of music. Give music a bit of credit, a good piece has much more into it. Just like this one.

Feelings and emotion are the purpose of music. If it does so, it has served its reason. This is a beautiful song. Dirkhaim you missed it.

I don’t think it got anything to do with the content of the hymn, but more with its place in the cultural world. Nobody is talking here about the “power” of the blood of Jesus, and I personally think it’s, like many other religious crap, another myth designed to repress the masses and control them. I was tempted to delete the above comment, but I will leave it. However, if a drunk homeless is your idea of a devout Christian, that just to show the foolishness of religion and the way it parasites on the poor and helpless.

The Little Tramps singing (with Gavin Bryars wonderful & blessed backing) has moved so many people, and brought us to really look at our daily walk! Here is a little unknown man (now sadly passed on without knowing how he has changed the lives of people) who is a the bottom of life’s pile and yet he doesn’t lose his love of Jesus or his understanding of the power of the Blood of Jesus. If our life should go this way we hope we are just like the Little Tramp, unknown by man but known by/of Jesus, and never forgoing our belief in Jesus! The Love of Jesus is above our earthly circumstances.
I thank Gavin Bryars for his understanding of this man’s singing. The Little Tramp sung by himself yet never lost the tune’s key, was in perfect pitch, and believed in what he was singing; this is a miracle!
All our Love… Eric & Jenny
