Interpretation notes:

• The verse sections use two-sixteenth-note pickups at the start of each phrase. 

• The chorus removes those pickups: 'Make me a channel of blessing today' begins on the downbeat and moves through a smoother eighth-note rhythm. 

• The phrase 'make me a channel of blessing' is repeated four times, with the final repetition reaching the highest note.
