Never underestimate the power of hymns. In an age where more contemporary Christian and gospel music dominates, those old-school hymns ‘never lose their power’ you might say. One of the preeminent hymns is 🎵 “Blessed Assurance” (text penned by 🎼✍ Fanny Crosby and music by 🎼✍ Phoebe Knapp), popular in many Christian denominations. The thing about this hymn is that it never grows old. You can perform it with frills, or you can perform it without them. You can transform and tweak, or you deliver it as is, and the meaningful lyrics and sheer power of hymn are easily conveyed. For gospel pioneer 🎙 Marion Williams, back in 1974, she plays around with the melody of the hymn on 🎵 “Blessed Assurance – Live in Philadelphia” (💿 Blessed Assurance). Also, she, the choir, and the accompanying musicians play around with the timing, delivering a stunning, unique interpretation.
