Absolutely fantastic song - great lyrics and one of the best chord progressions ever written!

Sherman Andrus sings the lead on the "live' version of this song and it gives me chills everytime I hear it.

Greg Gordon is such a great singer! Never got the credit he deserves.

lyrics
The day begins
My trouble’s gone away
I can’t remember how they was
Used to worry almost every day
But something’s made me higher
Than all the words I can say

So take my hand
And l will tell you about new life
And so much more
Cause Jesus made me higher (made me higher)
Than I’ve ever been before (been before)

Now I can love
And I know it’s from within
No need to hide anymore
Listen all my brothers
And we can all begin
To love one another
Like we never have before
So take my hand
And I will tell you about new life
And so much more
Cause Jesus made me higher (made me higher)
Than I’ve ever been before
He’s made me higher
Than I’ve been before
Than I’ve been before


So take my hand
And I will tell you about new life
And so much more
Cause Jesus made me higher (made me higher)
Than I’ve ever been before
Oh yeah yeah
Cause Jesus made me higher (made me higher)
Than I’ve ever been before
Than I’ve been before
Than I’ve been before
Higher

Was Greg singing tenor with Murray at the end there? If so, how impressive! Especially for a guy initially hired to sing baritone.
