This is an adaptation of my favorite hymn, "Holy, Holy, Holy". I wanted to compose an upbeat version suitable for praise bands to use, and is acoustic guitar-centric. I've replaced the original demo recording with an early release (7-19-2013) of the final recording for my upcoming album, "Til Pondering Turns To Praise", and also provided practice tracks for the two guitar parts. Enjoy!
