Lord of All Our Days (Funeral Hymn) Backup Track (No Vocals) Voice - Audio

SKU: A0.1477614

As of this publishing, over 140,000 people have found my one video collection of funeral hymns on YouTube, not including separate postings of each individual song. Because of this it's been on my mind for a long time to write a funeral song, but it was somehow just never the right time until just a few weeks ago when this one came pouring out in 5 minutes flat [which does not happen often, I can assure you!]. The culmination of years of playing for funerals, a bachelor degree in theology and sacred music, and many more years of writing and playing music through good times and also times full of grief, Lord of All Our Days is my very best and heartfelt attempt to serve those who are also dealing with the absolute heartache of loss, be it the acute, fresh grieving of just losing someone or the flashbacks that come time and time again, years and even decades later.

This song carefully and tenderly handles the true earth-shaking grief that it is to lose someone you love, while holding out a strong hope of the life to come for those who trust God. I had a very difficult time recording it without being moved to tears over and over, and I pray it will reach many in need of comfort, being of service to anyone who is looking for a Christian, Biblical funeral hymn for a memorial service or a celebration of life service.

Also available, by searching "Stacey Plays Hymns" and the song title on this site, is an accompaniment track with the full backup vocals as well as the following sheet music versions:

Piano Vocal in Bb Minor to match the original recording [vocal range: Bb3-Bb4]
Piano Vocal in C Major for easier playing and a better congregational vocal range
Lead Sheet for piano or guitar in C Major - best key for singing without a capo
Lead Sheet in G minor for piano or guitar [play capo 3 or more to match the original key]

For other formats including large print, a different key to match a soloist's preferred range, or piano solo for a matching prelude or postlude, please write me at [email protected] and I'll be glad to make them especially for you. Purchase includes a free license for one funeral or memorial service with under 1000 people, with proper attribution and credit in all printed or online materials. For a license to use this work on a larger scale, please contact me for permission and other usage details including lyrics formatted for printing in church bulletins or for powerpoint. Please let me know if there is any other way I can serve you as a congregation or fellow music/choir director as I endeavour to write several new choral anthems per year, along with my other recording work.

Thank you for supporting modern hymnwriters and musicians!
