"When I was in trouble, I called upon the Lord" is a gospel hymn composed by William T. Brooksbank. The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in the late 19th century. The hymn has since become a popular choice for church services and gospel concerts. The hymn is typically performed in a slow, soulful tempo, with a simple melody that is easy to sing along to. It is typically sung in a call-and-response style, with the lead singer singing the first line of each verse and the congregation responding with the second line. The hymn is divided into three verses, each of which tells a story of a person in trouble who calls upon the Lord for help. The first verse tells the story of a man who is lost and alone, wandering in the wilderness. He calls upon the Lord for guidance and is led to safety. The second verse tells the story of a woman who is sick and in pain. She calls upon the Lord for healing and is miraculously cured. The third verse tells the story of a man who is facing a difficult trial. He calls upon the Lord for strength and is given the courage to face his challenges. Throughout the hymn, the message is clear: no matter what troubles we face in life, we can always turn to the Lord for help and guidance. The hymn is a powerful reminder of the strength and comfort that can be found in faith, and it continues to inspire and uplift people of all ages and backgrounds.
