Did you build it by hand? That's so cool!

@@pamelah1220 Yes ma'am! Every piece of rebar in the foundation, every yard of concrete, every board and nail, window, wire, pipe, etc. My wife and I and her father have done about 90% of it with a buddy of mine and a friend of my wife's family helping with the other 10%. It's been quite a journey and we're ready to be done with it. But I know we'll be very proud once we finally get moved in.

@@acappellahymns Wow! Congrats on your new house then. We've all missed your uploads and it's good to have you back.

@@pamelah1220 I've missed y'all and have missed recording. I'm looking forward to being part of the channel again!

Congratulations, and welcome back!

Let me know if you do. I started to create a playlist with bilingual hymns. Sometimes it’s hard to find them.

Hahaha!!!! 🤣 For now! I've got one other recorded right now but may not be able to get to it for a few weeks. Then it *may* be a couple more months before I can regularly get back in to recording. I'm looking forward to it though!

@@acappellahymns I found out about you because my dad was subscribed to you, he's a song leader at our church and he uses you and lot's of other programs to help him lead.

@@proto_fanyt Oh, neat! Mind if I ask what part of the world you're in? I'm in the south-eastern US.

@@acappellahymns Central valley of California?

@@proto_fanyt Oh, long way away! Hope all is well with you and your family.

You're very welcome, brother! I hope to start posting more regularly soon!

Great hymn

Oh, neat! Didn't know the story behind it. Always great to hear from you, Wes!

I grew up in the church but lost my faith. For 25 years I lived my own life. Now I have come back to the church and feel a peace and happiness I can’t describe. Maybe you should try going to a service or two and let the music speak to you.

@@zerobyte802 I do plan on going to a service maybe someday again. I’m still gonna remain atheist, but hey the music helps with my learning of music. I’m only really interested in computer science and music, and church kind of contributed to me liking music

@@kinny6823 Whatever "religious trauma" you have, which I don't know nor deny, I do know that God did not do that to you. To deny God for something that people did is only hurting yourself. Please reconsider.

@@kinny6823 On behalf Christians, I am sorry you went through pain and religious trauma. Those people are not doing what Christ commanded which is to love and not judge. We are all in need of grace, needless to say, regardless of background. Don't just give church a chance. Give Christ a chance. I say this with love.

Glad you enjoyed, brother!

Hello! I've been personally building our house for the past year so nearly every free moment has been dedicated to that. I recently had the chance to record two hymns for the channel when I was recording for something else. I'm very excited to get back to recording on a regular basis once we get the house done. Hopefully just after Christmas I can start getting at least one out per month!

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the channel!

Hello,It's me again. I hope this will go on and go.Beause you inspired everybody. God bless and your family.Take care of your voice.

Thanks brother! Great to be able to connect with y'all again!

This isn't Michael. But I'm glad you are enjoying the channel!

@@acappellahymns Apologies sir Anyways I love your voice both, God bless ♡

@@Chrisnethツ No apology needed. ( : He's a great singer!

@@acappellahymns Your a both great Singer!!

I often use a hymnal called Praise for the Lord which is where I get 90% of these arrangements. But there plenty of others out there as well. Alternatively, you could check Hymnary.org here: hymnary.org/text/brightly_beams_our_fathers_mercy# They have hymnal scans for this song dating all the way back to 1874. And some of them are with shape notes.

@@acappellahymns Thank you, just found it on Hymnary. Blessings.

I held the last note of each stanza just a bit longer simply due to personal preference and no other reason.

@@acappellahymns thank you for the reply, I simply want to know the reason, because in that part there is so many opinion I heard.

This channel is "A Cappella Hymns". So providing chord names on the sheet music slides will likely never be a focus of mine. But the song is in Bb Major. It starts on the I (Bb). Then goes to a IV (Eb) on "mercy". Then to a major II (C) on "light". "But to us" is back on I. "Keeping" is back to IV". Then "Lights along the" is V (F). And back to I at the end of the first verse. The chorus is IV, I, Major II, V, I, IV, V, I. If you are capoed on the 3rd fret, you can play in G position. So it would *look like* - G, C, A (major), and D. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.
