O Love That Will Not Let Me Go - on Guitar

This is going to be my next guitar song. The strum and arrangement here is a little too "upbeat" for the lyrics in my opinion. George Matheson wrote this hymn when, after learning that he was to go blind, his fiance called off their engagement (he penned it later on the eve of his sister's wedding - read the full story here). This hymn has been scribbled out at some time or another in everything I ever wrote that resembled a journal. The original tune was atrocious, but I do like this one (with a little more suitable feeling).
