Description
. .This is a picture of an old hymnal. I turned to page to the hymn "He Set Me Free" as that is one of my favorites and is cherished very popular in many churches. While Amazing Grace may be more well known and is also a favorite of mine,, He set me free is faster and feels more like a celebration for lack of a better word. I captured the shot on a slight angle and then added a grunge effect to enhance the age of the book and Hymn. I also added a light effect, a soft warm light coming from the upper left corner. Wonderful for any wall in your home or office or perhaps a greeting card. Many more wonderful works can be found in my various galleries, from photographs and photoart to digital creations and abstracts. Thanks for browsing, commenting and most of all for any purchases. Debbie Portwood :D...........................(Wikipedia) - Albert Edward Brumley (1905�1977) was an American shape note gospel music composer and publisher. Brumley was born near Spiro, Oklahoma on October 29, 1905. Pre-Dustbowl Oklahoma was primarily made up of sparse agricultural communities; Brumley's family was no different. He spent much of his early life chopping and picking cotton on his family's farm. In 1926, he enrolled in the Hartford Musical Institute of Hartford, Arkansas, and studied there through 1931. The Institute was led by Eugene Monroe Bartlett (1884�1941), owner of the Hartford Music Company. Brumley purchased Hartford Music Company in 1948.................................Brumley married Goldie Edith Schell in 1931. They lived on the banks of Big Sugar Creek in Powell, Missouri, where they raised six children......................................"I'll Fly Away," "Turn Your Radio On," "If We Never Meet Again (This Side of Heaven)," "I'll Meet You In The Morning," and "He Set Me Free" are among a host of favorites written by Albert E. Brumley. He wrote over 800 songs. He established the Albert E. Brumley Sundown to Sunup Gospel Sing (now Albert E. Brumley Gospel Sing) in 1969 in Springdale, Arkansas. Brumley has been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame..................................Albert Brumley was a member of the Church of Christ and is buried at Fox Church of Christ Cemetery near Powell, Missouri. He died November 15, 1977. Brumley's son Tom, who would die in 2009, later became a respected steel guitarist in country music and songleader in the Church of Christ in Powell

Debbie, I have an old hymnal from he church I grew up in, thanks to my sister, who rescued a copy for me the week they were going to replace the old books. I love what you've done with this image, and that you've let the words speak for themselves. The vintage touch is just perfect (as is the message)! Lovely work.
