A lovely easy gospel style song but yes far too slow. Needs to be more up tempo. Would love to see a faster version on song bank please

this is a great song for people with a religion. But i agree with miss clewes it is a bit slow.

Yes I agree with the last comment about the speed of the track. Is there any chance to speed this up slightly, I've heard other versions and they are more "up tempo!"?

Backing track a bit slow for us - it can tend to drag if not careful.
