Joined by two family members playing guitar, Nita lent her voice to the moving hymn, written by Marijohn Wilkin and Kris Kristofferson. The song, which speaks about faith and navigating life’s challenges, was a perfect fit for someone who has experienced life’s highs and lows so deeply.
At the start of the video, Nita seemed a bit disengaged, but as the music swelled, her face lit up, and she began to sing. Her voice conveyed a lifetime of emotion—joy, pain, perseverance, and gratitude—all wrapped in her powerful connection to the song’s message.
Faith often becomes a cornerstone for many older adults, offering comfort and guidance through life’s later stages. While younger generations may sometimes feel less connected to religion, witnessing moments like this—a grandmother harmonizing with her family—bridges generational gaps, moving even those without religious ties.
Nita’s heartfelt performance not only captured the beauty of the hymn but also highlighted her fulfillment and happiness in sharing this moment with her family. It’s a touching reminder of the importance of cherishing loved ones and celebrating life, one day at a time.
