In this rendition, we hear Alan Jackson bring to life the timeless hymn. With his deep and emotional voice, you can feel every word he sings. Starting soft and slow, that familiar piano tune gets you moving. The melody is relaxing and comforting. It's almost impossible not to sing along with Jackson.
