Loretta Lynn’s Soulful Rendition
Loretta Lynn is considered one of today’s country legends. Her name was so big during the 1950s that people anticipated her rendition of the song.
Compared to the original, her version has the intro verse, “He could have called ten thousand angels.” It also didn’t have the 3rd and 4th verses like the original.
Also, she ended the song by repeating the chorus, which talks about the undeniably selfless act Jesus Christ made when he died on the cross, emphasizing his sacrifices for everyone even though he had the option just to call the angels and destroy the world.
This made the song personal and more heartfelt. Her melodic take on the song also gave her an edge, making her rendition one of her best releases throughout her career.
