Chalice

I'm almost certain I've posted this song before, but I'm not even gonna look at the archives, because it's too good to not share it again...

This is one of Phil Keaggy's greatest songs. No really. Every time (literally, EVERY time) I hear it, it reaches through my ribs, grabs a handful of my heart and twists. It's poignant, powerful and beautiful.

Musically, the chord structure is pretty simple (with standard tuning, he throws on a capo to play in G and sound in B), but the melody is creative, and the surprising moments like at 1:33 make it all the more delightful.
