"'we're out of work'...all Nashville studios are shut down....'Since we're home and can't be together and working, what if we use what we do to try to be a blessing'."

Thanks for that Jerome, with the world and our lives in turmoil at this time, it still glorious to hear we still belong to the Lord... And I needed a good cry... Beautiful!... Brother Glen:)
Now if I could only sing like that! -

Similar thing by quarantined shape note singers.
And let this feeble body fail,
And let it faint or die;
My soul shall quit this mournful vale,
And soar to worlds on high,
Chorus:
And I’ll sing hallelujah,
And you’ll sing hallelujah,
And we’ll all sing hallelujah,
When we arrive at home.
Shall join the disembodied saints,
And find its long-sought rest,
The only bliss for which it pants,
In my Redeemer’s breast.
(Chorus)
Oh what are all my suff’rings here,
If, Lord, Thou count me meet
With that enraptured host t’appear,
And worship at Thy feet!
(Chorus)
Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Take life or friends away,
But let me find them all again,
In that eternal day.

And.....the folks from 'Westminster Seminary California' try their hand at it, same song as in OP:
