As far as the guitar, this is one of my favorites to play. I finally am comfortable with the lyrics ... 40+ years after writing the song :)

WHO: Lyrics: Psalm 145:1-2, Psalm 138:2b & Psalm 145:4
Music: Robin Calamaio
WHAT: Standard Tuning, Acoustic 12 string guitar.
WHEN: Sometime before July, 1983. I really think I made up the tune in 1977 just after I became a Christian. The opening chorus was always pretty set, but the rest of the lyrics were always unsettled. In 2022, I decided I had to get this figured out. It had always been Psalm 145 - but I really cut this down lyrically and inserted a phrase from Ps 138.
WHERE: Ft Lauderdale, FL
WHY: No reason I can recall. Just great putting God's word to song..

Garage Band Software
Vocals - Natural main voice (with some settings tweaks) and Bright Vocal for the rest of the vocals
Guitar - Sharp Chorus. Might have been a mistake. Easy to change.
