My opinion for a beginner I really think you are the best teachering this song. Lately watching practically all your videos I have learned so much. Thank you for all you do and keeping God as your center on this channel. ❤

Hi Matt. I recently picked up my first guitar to learn how to play and make my worship a bit more than just singing along with others. I want to make it more personal and be more involved. I came across your channel and love it. Learning to play and learning praise and worship songs at the same time will make learning much more enjoyable. When i came across this video it really touched me. in 2006 my mom got diagnosed with burkitts lymphoma. a very aggressive cancer that was caught late. She, along with my father, got saved and baptized. Seven months and three days after her diagnosis, she left this life to be with the Lord. The night before was my last night with her. I borrowed my aunts mp3 player and played this song for her twice. She and everyone in the room were in tears the whole song. At 11 years old, this song was my way of telling her it was okay to let go. Ive been unable to listen to this song since. After I viewed this video I have decided this will be the first song I learn. I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me take what has always been a song full of bad memories and being able to turn it into something I can look at as her being with God and feeling no more pain instead of her leaving me and my brother here to grow up motherless. I cannot thank you enough for that.

Great song and how great that day will be when he returns.

I just love the simplicity, worship should not be confusing. God is a God of order and so everyone is a worshiper. You make it easy for me to worship God with this song, thanks.

this is a great song, I am a beginner I have been playing for a little over a year, I learned a great deal from your easy to follow instructions I get more info from you than the Keith Urban course, thank you.

Glad to see you doing this without a pick. I do not like using a pick. Which is why my 2nd and 3rd fingernail on my picking hand stays worn down to nothing. Started using artificial nails on those two fingers after seeing James Taylor uses artificial nails. He refers to them as his bionic nails.
