The hymn "I Cannot Tell Why" is a classic, taking the beautiful traditional Irish song "Londonderry Air" and putting sacred lyrics behind it. Alvin and Tim do it justice here, with a stripped-back, sparse version which allows the listener to contemplate the gravity of the lyrics. ► Follow One Sound Music INSTAGRAM - http://www.instagram.com/OneSoundMusic TWITTER - http://www.twitter.com/OneSoundMusik FACEBOOK - http://www.facebook.com/OneSoundMusik WEBSITE - http://www.onesoundmusic.co.uk SOUNDCLOUD – https://soundcloud.com/one-sound-musik ► Follow Alvin Dawati WEBSITE - http://www.alvindawati.com ► Credits Alvin Dawati - Vocals Timothy Lowe - Keyboards ► One Sound Music Personnel Eden Matheson - Videographer/Video Editor Antonia Gregory - Sound Engineer, Mixing/Mastering Olecia Addo - Video Shoot Co-ordinator Original lyrics written by William Young Fullerton - traditional Irish melody (Londonderry Air).

But this I know, that He was born of Mary, When Bethl’hem’s manger was His only home, And that He lived at Nazareth and labored, And so the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is come. 2 I cannot tell how silently He suffered, As with His peace He graced this place of tears, Or how His heart upon the Cross was broken, The crown of pain to three and thirty years. But this I know, He heals the broken-hearted, And stays our sin, and calms our lurking fear, And lifts the burden from the heavy laden, For yet the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is here. 3 I cannot tell how He will win the nations, How He will claim His earthly heritage, How satisfy the needs and aspirations Of east and west, of sinner and of sage. But this I know, all flesh shall see His glory, And He shall reap the harvest He has sown, And some glad day His sun shall shine in splendor When He the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is known. 4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship, When, at His bidding, every storm is stilled, Or who can say how great the jubilation When all the hearts of men with love are filled. But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture, And myriad, myriad human voices sing, And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth, will answer: At last the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is King.
