How To Play When I Look into Your Holiness

Above the Eternal Peace Buy From Art.com

In 1980 Wayne and Cathy Perrin wrote this beautiful song, When I Look into Your Holiness. I've had the opportunity to play this lovely piece many times with the worship team and have kept the chord chart to it. Are you familiar with the song?
