It is both sad and joyful to me that almost nobody knows this song. It's amazing that even somebody as great as Bob Dylan is dependent on radio and general cultural mediums to popularize their music. I'm about as far from a Christian as you can be and still be a white American, and yet there is no denying the incredible beauty of this song. I agree with the previous commenter about Dylan's voice. If you prefer a clean, crisp, meaning-bereft delivery like Celine Dion or Adele or Michael Buble to Dylan's penetrating emotional delivery, then I just feel sorry for you as a person. I'm so glad I took the time to delve into an unappreciated Dylan album and found something priceless.
