Video: Returned Missionary Sings Emotional Cover of "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief"

While a missionary in Canada, Zach Morris created a unique emotional cover of a well-beloved hymn. On his blog, he writes:

"At the time the only instrument I had available to me was a guitar and my talents were severely limited. I knew only one song my missionary companion taught me so we could play at a fireside. I noticed that I could use the same chords to sing the 'A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief,' and that’s how it all started. A little while later at dinner, our hosts asked us to play a song, and I jumped on their piano and wrote the instrumental melody that you can hear at the beginning of the song."
