A buddy asked me to get ready w/this one to play in his dad's funeral, which may come soon. His dad's not doing well and could go any day. They made arrangements yesterday to be ready. His dad loves old time music, so this will be one I'll play along w/some fiddle tunes.
Any good versions out there that yall know about where I can listen? This isn't one I currently play, but have heard it and hear of it for years and years.
thanks in advance.

Roy Acuff is the guy. He has 2 versions on the greatest hits CD. One is more gospel than the other. You can probably download that on ITunes.
