I previously recorded a Dino Kartsonakis arrangement of this hymn, for Easter. Now I decided to play this Mark Hayes version, because it is enjoyed by many at Mayo Clinic. Some have even stopped what they're doing to clap. One gentleman went so far as to find me on the internet and send me this message...

"I happened to be at Mayo Clinic today because my wife was having an MRI to followup on spine surgery she had there 2 yrs ago. In the past, I waited for her just outside the imaging area but with the pandemic, I had to wait in the lobby. I thoroughly enjoyed your arrangements of music I hadn't heard for years. A lady behind me was humming along with many of the tunes, so maybe she didn't hear that I was humming with them, too. Suddenly you started to play an introduction to something I identified in 3 notes. I worked as a part-time volunteer announcer for Family Life Radio, KFLR, for 11 years and grew up in the Chicago area listening to Moody Radio so I've heard numerous renditions of "How Great Thou Art," but I've never heard it done with a greater sensitivity. You led us in worship and I'm writing to express my sincere thanks."

I am grateful for that. Much love.
