X Factor singers !!! This is the voice of a true artist no raunchy crap to endure this lady needs nothing more than her own magnificent voice...Superb

Truely a magnificent performance. The best I've seen her do. Her voice is like a heartbeat. Needed. I love the natural quality. The simplicity. The movement of her hands. The look in her eyes. The abandon of her performance. This is the purest performance I've seen done....ever. At the deepest level. It is loving and fearless. The essence of the song. The essence of God. She must be an interesting person.

Only recently heard this song, it was chosen for my father's funeral. It's now one of my favourites. Eddi sings it so beautifully.

I have known this Hymn for decades and this is got to be the best and most fervent singing of it I have heard. Eddi does appear to be singing this not as a performance, but as a genuine appeal to the Lord

I'm not a religous person but hearing Eddi singing this makes me want to believe so that I can connect on another level. Saying that....musically it's simply gorgeous.

I have seen Eddi Reader live many times in various settings, both small, intimate gigs and in large concert venues and I can asssure everyone that her voice is far from weak. It's a most wonderful musical instrument and her interpretation of this song is beautfiul in it's simplicity. God, whoever he, she, or whatever it might turn out to be should be proud of their handiwork with the creation of this voice.

wgl1964: This version is magnificent. It's fearless. Carrie Underwoods opry version, done by herself, is also a magnificent performance. Especially towards the end where she closes her eyes and is totally in the moment. The audience disappears and it translates across to the listener. Both are very powerful.
