Herb, Very lovely sound to this one and of course the title has a message for all, especially for the believer in the blood of Christ (Eph.2:13), which the song was intended for, in its' original version. I like everything you did with this, the arrangement, instrumentation and the mix. You didn't need words here, as they are already written and so for those that like to sing, they can make it work for themselves. On the other hand, your version seems to have been done instrumentally to inspire. To get others to relax, contemplate and find hope, when hope for many seems vague. Very nicely done and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
 
Peace and Blessings, John 

Herb, nice clean sound - your playing is superb - love all of it.

Nice and chilled !!  Cool guitar playing.Mix sounds good on my system.

John, Mark & Kev... thanks for listening...
 
It was done intentionally as a laid back version of the song.... and I felt I needed to simply play some guitar for a change. Most of the stuff I write and play is pretty confining, as far as being able to take a solo or just "play" free form....

The production is really good.  I love that guitar tone.  This is background music to me but I really think you did a great job.

very nice Herb.
All of the different instrumental parts kept me interested right to the end. 

I was n't expecting a jazzy version Herb.  Nicely done, great playing.  I really like that Mesa Boogie tone.

Very smooth production Herb, and great playing.  I think I agree with Beagle above saying it could use something in the middle to break it up.
 
I do think the guitar leads are a little too bright and trebly, especially when the delay kicks in.  Maybe you could dampen the EQ on the delay feedback a little.
 
Also, in general, maybe the guitar lead (which is excellent) is just a tad too much out in front.  For instance, at around 1:50 when the guitar lead hands off to the sax lead there seems to be a bit of a drop off in the apparent volume of the lead voice.

Rimshot, Daryl, Mike, Walt.  thanks
 
In that center section.... well, it really didn't end up sounding like I thought it world. I played a simple piano line....then decided to play a guitar octave doubles (typical jazz thing) in unison with the piano... not panned radically but maybe 20% or so... the concept was cool enough but the results didn't sound like I thought they should..... rather than edit it.... I simply left it since this is not a song for critical acclaim.... it was just something to do and move on....have fun in the process....

 I enjoyed listening to this Herb. It wasn't what I initially expected to hear because the song that I'm familiar with that has this title has a totally different melody.I like this one as well. The guitar playing was nice the whole jazz feel was nice. A really nice backgrounder.
