"I might
not be a religious man myself but I know good music when I hear it, and this is very
good! . . . I don’t think that I have ever given such high
ratings to so many songs before. But
the fact is that they are well deserved because the
music is amazing. Simply wonderful religious ballads and they
really get to your heart. . .everytime."

Arrangement Copyright © 2000 Don Wigton
With a determined spirit and a contrite heart
of praise Vanessa echoes the desires of so many today who have turned their hearts to God.
A solid piano supports her resounding cry filled with powerful harmonies declaring the
commitment of a lifetime in worship.
Song Story
Through the years this has been one of
my favorite of all praise choruses. It didnt occur to be to put together an arrangement of
it because I assumed there were copyrights on it. (To the best of our ability Wigtune
Company does not make arrangements of copyrighted material.)
I was amazed one day as I looked through my hymnal to notice that I Have Decided is a folk
melody from India from an unknown source. After determining that it would be a great
closer for Vanessas second solo album, With All My Heart, I asked her if she would like to
sing it. She was elated at the possibility.
I decided to keep the arrangement simple (a Steinway piano with some bass and B3 organ)
and let the harmonies carry the tune. Vanessa, though, got herself in a bit of a jam when
she was putting the harmonies over the melody. She started off laying the lower part, then
followed with the top part only to find out that some of the notes that she wanted to use
were already used up! The excellent doubling that resulted, though, turned out superb and
creates a folk-song mood to this moving piece. The acapella portion is especially
powerful.
We sincerely pray that you will be encouraged in your dedication to God as you praise God
to this wonderful piece.
