Sorry, we had technical difficulties and the only way to get better sound is to see what the other videographer captured.

Спасибо, Слава Богу!

Thank you!

Спасибо большое. Мы возле Ланкастера в штате Пенсильвания, родные братья.

Если сможете отправить номер вабера,watsap.будем рады обшяться

I added the link to the description. Are you from the Kantsevich family originally from Belarus?

@@YuriyAndSarahKravets Unfortunately, I don't see any link... That's right, I'm from Belarus (Brest). Whom do you know with this surname?

@josefkantsevich5378 www.gerth.de/nearer-still-nearer.html I met some of your family in Mińsk Mazowiecki in 2018 when I went there with a choir from America. Maybe you were here when we sang: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/acuRerNjy52ZZ2Q.htmlsi=a_W42dKH14LlxI0D

@@YuriyAndSarahKravets I heard that you visited Poland. Nice to meet you ;) Thanks for the link.

@josefkantsevich5378 Most of our music making is now involving Lyrica Sacra. youtube.com/@LyricaSacra?si=6FIabfxjh79QwtSS Maybe you know Ghena Roshchuk from Ukraine? His family is living in the states now and participating with us this year.

Hi! The link to the sheet music is in the description.

that should of course read Stuart Townend.

Looks like this setting doesn’t include that verse, but thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for your comment, what about it, specifically? ❤️

Danke schön 🕊️

Thank you, Chrisann.

Thank you!

Danke!

Thank you!

Nice! Where’s your church?

I found this song in my of the hymnals at my church. It has a different verse in it. It has the first and third here followed by this different verse. It goes: And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on And when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joyful be And to eternity, I'll sing on, I'll sing And to eternity, I'll sing on. It is just lovely. The orchestra did a phenomenal job, and the choir sang like angels.

@@herelizasaint that is lovely! Which hymnal did you find it in?

@@YuriyAndSarahKravets It is Hymns for the Family of God. 1976 copyright by Paragon Associates, Inc. Nashville, Tennessee.

Very good! Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful and well performed. Where was this performed.

Hey, apparently that copy service is no longer functioning or something, so I found it here on the arranger's website: www.campkirkland.com/music/p/it-is-well I'll also update the description.

Yes, I thought the same and finally got around to doing it. ☺️

Why are you disappointed?

I am Catholic. The Mennonites are on the opposite end of the religious spectrum. Whether or not we agree on doctrinal matters, we all admire the way Mennonites live. Musical instruments seems to be a departure from that. Oh, I know -- I am making sweeping generalizations but that was my reaction to seeing the instruments. Plus, I am just not used to it. I listen to much Mennonite choral music and I have never seem them using instruments.@@YuriyAndSarahKravets

Thank you for your response, @butterflybeetles. I’m all for engaging in a meaningful discussion if you’re up for it. My first question would be what you mean by Mennonites being “on the opposite end of the religious spectrum”?

I don't know much about Mennonite theology so I will stick to what is visible. A Catholic church is normally full of art (I guess you could call it idolatry). On the other hand I have seen Mennonite concerts and weddings on KZfaq in the plainest of buildings with not one piece of decoration or something which appeals to the eyes. That is one reason why we can say that you represent the opposite end of the spectrum to Catholicism. @@YuriyAndSarahKravets

One of these distinctives of Mennonites is the common practice of reading the scriptures and trying to discern the heart of God on a matter. Then they try to ask right questions. Using that approach, I believe one of these right questions is “can God be glorified by the use of voices accompanied by musical instruments?” Scripture indicates in both the Old Testament (see Psalm 98) and the New (Ephesians 5 - “Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs…”) that the answer to that question is “yes.” That would be a scriptural approach, I believe. If we approach the question from a cultural perspective, that is where more controversy is bound to take place. I welcome your thoughts.

Thank you, Rhoda. It’s a shame that we ran out of time and didn’t get to the questions that were asked in the survey leading up to the interview.

Thank you for putting this together. Even though I have known Lloyd all of my life, hearing him share his vision, many experiences, and the ways in which he and Mary have worked as a team have been inspiring.

@@YuriyAndSarahKravets Maybe a part 2 is needed.

@@YuriyAndSarahKravetsSounds like you need to do Part 2!

I'd love to if the opportunity presents itself and it's a possibility financially.

Yes, the people here could be considered Mennonites.
