He Lives

One recent morning, while randomly strumming some guitar chords, I remembered this classic hymn I used to sing in church as a child: "He Lives" by A.H. Ackley. I felt inspired to compose my own revised version of the song in a different root key, using a Country waltz drum and bass rhythm, and adding a new ending along with a lively musical bridge between verses. (Special thanks also to Jessie Morgan (fiverr.com) for her violin and backup vocals in this mix. I created this video using some of my own video footage, combined with additional material from Pixabay.com. Please see more credits at the end of the video.) The back-story for the original composition of this song by A.H. Ackley in 1933 is well-worth reading about. According to the website, the destinlog.com: Ackley, born in 1887 in Pennsylvania, showed great musical potential as a child. He was tutored by his musician father and then went to New York City to study and on to the Royal Academy of Music in London. There, Ackley played the piano and cello and showed great promise as a composer. After completing his musical training, Ackley returned to the states to attend Westminster Theological Seminary in Maryland and was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1914. Ackley pastored in Wilkes-Barre and Elmhurst, Pennsylvania, before being called to a congregation in Escondido, California. For a few years he worked with evangelist Billy Sunday. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Sacred Music degree by John Brown University in Arkansas in appreciation for all his musical pursuits. ... After waking early to prepare his Easter Sunday message, he was amazed to hear on the radio a famous liberal preacher in New York say, “Good morning. It’s Easter! You know, folks, it really doesn’t make any difference to me if Christ be risen or not. As far as I am concerned, His body could be as dust in some Palestinian tomb. The main thing is, His truth goes marching on!” Ackley’s anger at this was displayed as he threw the radio across the room, yelling, “It’s a lie!” During the Easter service that morning, Ackley preached with strength and urgency about the reality of Christ’s Resurrection. But later that night, he continued to dwell on... the sermon on the radio. His wife told him it was time for him to do what he did best — write a song — and then he would feel better. In his study, Ackley re-read the resurrection account from Mark’s Gospel in the Bible, and soon the words began to pour from him. A few minutes later, he put music to the words..." “He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart.”
