Music Videos

A trio of skilled musicians gave a moving performance, playing one of the most beloved hymns of all time, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”

People are created to interact and communicate with other individuals. In life, people will form and develop several relationships. Some of these connections will deepen, while others will fall by the wayside due to either time, distance or death.

However, it’s likely that at some point, people will let you down, hurt you or fail you in some way, whether it’s intentional or not. But there is One who remains faithful and who will never fail us.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the three musicians who call themselves Third Fret Harmony perform the hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” The group, which is composed of one young man and two girls, sits and strums on guitars and tickles the ivories on a keyboard while singing those memorable lyrics.

“What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer
O what a peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer”

Life is an often-tough journey filled with many unwanted and unforeseen issues. But as the hymn mentions, how much worse are those grueling circumstances because of our actions? Why shoulder all that burden, worry and anxiety when laying the matter at God’s feet is so much easier?

Jesus is someone that we can count on no matter the situation or circumstances. God’s word mentions that he will never leave or forsake us, especially during our time of need. He is unlike any friend that we could ever hope to make.

What a beautiful reminder of the faithfulness and righteousness of the Lord!

Proverbs 18:24 “A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

Two musically gifted vocalists beautifully perform an expertly arranged mashup of some of the most recognizable and beloved praise and worship songs.

Because of God’s grace, love and mercy, He sent his one and only Son to die a painful, agonizing and wholly undeserved death on the cross. In taking the sins of all of mankind on Himself, He took our place. For that ultimate act of love and sacrifice, there is no way possible for anyone to adequately thank Him. The best anyone could ever hope to do is to live a life that honors and glorifies Him and to sing His praises. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, the husband-wife team – Caleb + Kelsey – turned in a stunning performance, using their immense musical abilities to sing several songs that praise and honor the name of Jesus. 

The two musicians kick off their performance by singing “Bless the Lord, O My Soul.” Next, they transition into a cover of “What a Beautiful Name It Is,” which morphs into “Who You Say I Am” about being a child of the King of Kings.

Other songs that made the cut in the video include “Goodness of God,” “Good Good Father” and “Way Maker.” But no medley of such songs about the goodness, righteousness and faithfulness of God would be complete without a track from arguably the biggest name in Christian music: Lauren Daigle.

Caleb and Kelsey include a few lines from Lauren’s smash hit, which has generated hundreds of covers, “You Say.” 

“And You say I am loved when I can’t feel a thing
You Say I am strong when I think I am weak”

In addition to performing and delivering these songs with such a beautiful tone and pitch, every transition is seamless. The way in which the songs are laid out makes them appear to be one long tune about God’s goodness, love and mercy.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.”

Check out this video of Bethel Music and The McClures live on tour singing the worship song ‘Raise A Hallelujah.’

“I raise a hallelujah, in the presence of my enemies, I raise a hallelujah, louder than the unbelief 
I raise a hallelujah, my weapon is a melody, I raise a hallelujah, Heaven comes to fight for me
I’m gonna sing, in the middle of the storm, louder and louder, You’re gonna hear my praises roar
Up from the ashes, hope will arise, death is defeated, the King is alive”

In this video, Bethel Music is performing live on tour with The McClures in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and they sound incredible together. And this amazing worship song, written by Jonathan Helser, Melissa Helser, Molly Skaggs, and Jake Stevens, has such a powerful story behind it.

‘Raise A Hallelujah’ has touched the hearts of many believers around the world, and it was inspired by the miraculous healing of Jaxon Taylor, the son of Bethel's CEO Joel Taylor. It was around Christmas in 2017 when Joel and Janie’s two-year-old son suddenly became ill and had to go to the ER. 

He was diagnosed with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) due to an E. coli infection and was in a battle for his life. And this battle continued for weeks while he was experiencing kidney failure, seizures, and trouble with his respiratory system. To make matters worse, their four-year-old daughter, Addie, was also diagnosed with the same strand of E. coli.

When Jonathan David and Melissa Helser received word that Jaxon's condition was unlikely to improve, they were devastated. That’s when a melody erupted in their heart, and they sent the song they created to Joel. He listened to it repeatedly and played it for his son Jaxon. Later in January 2018, the Taylor family was finally able to head home from the hospital with both of their kids healed.

The song ‘Raise A Hallelujah’ was used by the family as a powerful weapon of worship against the enemy and their unbelief. What an incredible testimony!

Do you feel like praising the lord today? Look no further than ‘Let The People Sing, by Jesus Culture with Chris McClarney in this live uplifting performance. The video was recently released, and it is already gaining popularity for those in need of soaking their souls in worship and praise. 

Maybe you’re feeling worn out and weary? Maybe life is dragging you down with bills, deadlines, or parenting. No matter the situation, God has the answer. When we praise the Lord, he fills us with hope that overflows into gratitude and peace. The beautiful part of worship is how it equips us to battle life with God’s word. 

In the Good Book, we are reminded in Ephesians 6:17, “Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit — which is the word of God.” The sword of the spirit is the Bible, and our worship songs are weaved with Scripture creating an effective way to combat life’s struggles. 

Jesus Culture is a highly talented gospel band created by a community of worship leaders and musicians whose mission is to see this generation impacted by the presence of God through music. On their website, they shared, “The heart of Jesus Culture has always been to not just sing songs, but to encounter God and see lives changed through those encounters.” 

Their music brings us to the heart of worship while encountering Christ. 

Take a few minutes to crank up the stereo and sing along with Jesus Culture as we are reminded to:

Worship the Lord in the light of His presence
Worship the Lord with the angels and saints
Tell all the earth that the Savior is risen
The stone has been rolled away

Tell all the earth the Lord your God cares about you. Tell all the earth the King of kings sits on the throne. Let this incredible worship song lift your spirit. May it be a warrior’s call to praise the Lord in your struggles and triumphs. 

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord,” Psalms 150:6.

The harmonizing husband and wife duo Caleb and Kesley sing ‘Gratitude’ worship cover. Not only is their performance truly beautiful, but we also love the powerful reminder to center our hearts in gratitude toward the Lord for all he has done. 

We’re human. We tend to focus on what is happening in the present. It’s not always pleasant. We’re walking through bills, debt, relationship issues, and health issues. Some of us are worried about our children and grandchildren too. Maybe you identify with every scenario listed above. 

If that’s the case, it’s hard to feel thankful for anything. But that’s the beauty of God. He wants us to turn away from the struggles and keep our focus squarely on him. When we focus on blessings rather than woes, God increases our joy. It opens up a world of blessings we might not have otherwise realized existed. In Thessalonians 5:18, we are taught, “In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

There are times in our lives when we are at the mercy of our circumstances, and we think, how can we have gratitude? But our heavenly father sees and is still watching over us even when we might feel His focus is elsewhere! It’s in those times when we are reminded to be like King David, Elijah, Job, and Paul to thank God for the breath in our lungs, for his presence, his promises, and his coming Kingdom. 

What I love about this uplifting video is how Kesley and Caleb sing together as husband and wife. Their dedication to the Lord is refreshing. They remind us no matter the struggle in life or in our marriage, being thankful to God helps us overcome the battle. 

Let this song wash you in the presence of Christ and leave you with peace only Jesus can provide. The battle of gratitude belongs to the Lord and we are not forgotten. What a privilege to be a part of the testimony of His name!

"Always be rejoicing. Give thanks for everything." 1 Thessalonians 5:16,18.

Enjoy this all-male choir as they perform a cappella rendition of ‘Unchained Melody.’ I believe the Righteous Brothers would give the Virginia Gentleman a standing ovation for their performance of this beloved, classic love song. 

I truly love hearing ‘Unchained Melody.’ It’s one of those songs that remind us of what true, innocent, steadfast love is. It reminds you of what it’s like to feel love, and you can’t help but sigh and thank God for the love you have in your life. It makes me truly grateful for my marriage and the love my spouse pours into our relationship. 

I have a feeling movies like Pitch Perfect were inspired by real-life groups like the Virgina Gentleman. They have been around since 1953 and were formed by the famous director of the Virginia Glee Club, Donald MacInnis. He laid the foundation for the A Capella club after it became an instant hit with the student body. 

More than 60 years later, the A Cappella club is a beloved group of the college and has fans around the world. Today, the A Capella club not only performs oldies like ‘Unchained Melody,’ they also sing pop and contemporary music too. What I love the most about this group is how much fun their having. The joy of the music is visible on their faces as they smile, dance, and sing right along to the rhythm of the song. 

There won’t be any questions when this video goes viral. It’s already had 1,000 views and over 28,000 subscribers waiting to listen to this beautiful song. Go ahead, push play, and wait to be inspired! Grab your spouse by hand and dance around the kitchen. What an incredible gift this group has.

“A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another,” John 13:34. 

Listen to this incredible song, ‘Great Are You Lord, by Red Rocks Worship in a live performance. 

“You give life, You are love. You bring light to the darkness. You give hope, You restore every heart that is broken. And great are You, Lord.”

In a shroud of darkness, Red Rock Worship illuminates the stage with lights. But they don’t want the focus on them. They want all distractions to melt away as they lift their voices in a melody of praise to God. It’s their hope to usher in the presence of the Holy Spirit so those who are listening will connect with the Lord. 

Sometimes we need to be reminded of how great, powerful, and mighty God is. We get so busy trying to earn a paycheck to make ends meet that we forget God is the one who sustains us in all things. Finances, health, and love. 

When we focus our hearts on God and make him the center of attention, he can use that time to nurture, encourage, restore, and heal. He brings peace as we bring our praise. 

“It's Your breath in our lungs. So we pour out our praise, we pour out our praise. It's Your breath in our lungs

So we pour out our praise to You only.” As we listen to the words, it stirs something deep within our spirits that reminds us we are created, made, and loved by God. We are reminded it’s his breath in our lungs. 

Like the Good Book reminds us in Psalms 116:12, “What can I give back to the Lord for all the good things he has done for me?” We can give him our worship, and we can thank him for the blessings and miracles he works for us. 

We hope you enjoy this authentic and beautifully raw moment of worship by Red Rocks Worship. May it center your sights on Jesus and lift your spirit. 

“But who am I, and who are my people, that we could give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we give you only what you first gave us!” 1 Chronicles 29:14.

Are you in need of the Lord’s presence today? Are you in need of a reminder God can and will do what he promises? Look no further than ‘Why Not Right Now?’ by Jesus Culture with Bryan and Katie Torwalt. This song is a powerful reminder that no matter what may lay shattered in your life–God will pick up the pieces and work all things together for your good. 

“I’ve heard the rumors of the places You’ve been. Where Your presence has set hearts on fire. You did it before. You will do it again. It’s only a matter of time.” These powerful lyrics are the perfect reminder that God hasn’t forgotten us, and He will lead us on a path to his redeeming his people. 

If you’re lost, broken, and alone, Jesus is the answer. If you’re hurting, tired, and afraid, he is still the answer. In a world that seems to be crumbling, we are reminded this place isn’t our home, and God is already at work behind the scenes to redeem, rejuvenate, and restore his glory. We are also reminded no matter where we are, we can lift up our voices in praise and let God work through us right here, right now. 

This is one of the precious gifts of the Lord–giving us the gift of praise, gratitude, and the Holy Spirit to help intercede on our behalf. All we have to do is turn to Jesus and acknowledge him. Katie and Bryan Torwalt, along with Jesus Culture, perform a powerful worship song that ushers our hearts into the throne room of Christ, where we are reminded we can petition to move on our behalf right this very moment. 

We may not know the outcome, but we do know he works all things together for his good. May this song be your battle cry as you rise up and say, “Heavenly Father, why not right here, right now?” 

“The word is right here and now - as near as the tongue in your mouth, as near as the heart in your chest,” Deuteronomy 30:14. 

Listen to this beautiful rendition of the classic hymn ‘In The Garden’ by two talented sisters.

“I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, the Son of God discloses
And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there none other has ever known”

The singers in this music video are known as The Church Sisters, and they are no stranger to the music industry. They have been fortunate enough to travel the world performing at events like the CMA Awards Show with Eric Church and Hank Williams Jr., and multiple times at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. And many people online have shared their thoughts about the talented sisters and their performance of ‘In The Garden.’

“This is the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard,” one person writes on YouTube after watching the music video. “I am sitting here crying while listening. What a talent God has given you!”

“It's wonderful to see the younger generation keeping these beautiful, old songs alive for all to enjoy. Thank you,” another person comments online.

The hymn ‘In The Garden’ is one that is enormously popular. It is almost impossible to find it omitted from any standar hymnal, and more than a million recordings and printed copies of it have been sold.

The man who wrote this beloved hymn was C. Austin Miles. He had attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of Pennsylvania to become a pharmacist, but he abandoned that career in 1892 when he wrote his first Gospel song.

He said of himself, "It is as a writer of gospel songs I am proud to be known, for in that way I may be of the most use to my master, whom I serve willingly although not as efficiently as is my desire."

We hope you enjoyed listening to this wonderful rendition of ‘In The Garden’ by these two talented sisters today!

Meet 23-year-old Riley Clemmons as she sings “Church Pew” in this music video that provides a glimpse into the process of making her third studio album due on shelves in September. “Church Pew” is the third single to be released from the long anticipated album by the same name. 

As the video opens, Riley is dressed in white and sits outside on a wooden church pew. After the song title and her name appear, we immediately enter the studio for a montage of moments, presumably from the production of Church Pew, the album.

Sprinkled amid images of background singers rehearsing, an orchestra of strings practicing, Riley composing and writing notes on staff paper, and sound guys at instruments and equipment, Riley stands before a round microphone and sings of the stories that an old church pew might tell. 

Here are four lines from the song’s chorus: 

Church pews, they’ve got stories
They’ve got so much that they’ve seen 
The best of saints, the worst of sinners 
And every bit of in between

The song speaks of life-changing moments that bring folks to those church pews—marriages, funeral services, and working toward recovery. All are welcome there—those celebrating, seeking solace, and searching for redemption. How true it is!

Many, following Sunday morning services, feel convicted that the pastor’s message was specifically written and delivered for them. Ministers may not always recognize just how their divinely inspired words connect with those sitting in the pews. Assuredly, though, the message or worship or fellowship changes us, leaving us better than before.     

Riley’s video is perhaps a metaphor for the experience of being in church. We see her express a variety of emotions in the video. She’s contemplative, weary, a bit frustrated, satisfied, and relieved during the work in the studio. In the end, the recordings are complete and there is joy.

Certainly, for those logging lots of hours in beautiful and blessed church pews, there is joy when their work is complete as well.  

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” Acts 2:42

You have to check out this beautiful music video for the song ‘The Parting Glass’ from Celtic Woman.

“Of all the money that e'er I had I spent it in good company, and all the harm that e'er I did
Alas, it was to none but me, and all I've done for want of wit to memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass, goodnight, and joy be to you all, so fill to me the parting glass
And gather as the evening falls and gently rise and softly call goodnight and joy be to you all.”

This stunning music video is from Celtic Woman’s “Postcards From Ireland” DVD. The singers and musicians are seen in the breathtaking scenery of Ireland while they are singing the lovely Irish folk song. It really is a sight to behold and heavenly to listen to!

The history of The Parting Glass is associated with gatherings in the Celtic lands. At the end of gatherings, friends will typically sing songs. And the gathering usually provides departing guests with a drink as they’re leaving. This custom was so popular back in the day that it formed the basis for the song ‘The Parting Glass.’

‘The Parting Glass’ is a great example of that special quality found in the best farewell songs. The song is able to combine joy and sorrow in a way that is both sad yet uplifting at the same time. It is a song of farewell, sung for and to close friends. And the Irish folk song comes with a parting toast: Good night, and joy be with you all. Now that is a way to say farewell!

Celtic Women do what they do best in this music video and that’s combine the beautiful music of Ireland with their mesmerizing voices to create some truly musical magic. We hope that you enjoyed listening to their rendition of ‘The Parting Glass’ today!

Listen to this beautiful and powerful song titled ‘Man On The Middle Cross’ by Rhett Walker.

“Heard the preacher talking about three wood crosses, up on a hill everyone to see
Two sinners on the outside couldn't save themselves if they tried, all I could think is
Man, that sounds like me, I’ve been the one on the left full of guilt and regret, long gone
On the wrong side of living, I've been the one on the right always looking for a fight”

What a wonderful song that reminds us of the profound impact of God’s grace and mercy. Rhett Walker co-wrote ‘Man On The Middle Cross’ with Matthew West, AJ Pruis, and Matt Jenkins. And Rhett recently shared about the inspiration behind the song and how it came to be.

“I came across a clip of Alistair Begg’s sermon on social media, and he was speaking about the two men on both sides of Jesus on the cross," said Rhett Walker. 

"The man on the right ends up in heaven. The angels in heaven, stunned, are asking, 'How are you here? You weren’t a follower of Jesus. You didn’t live a life worth gaining heaven.' And the man said, 'I don’t know how I’m here or where I am, but the man on the middle cross said I could be here.'"

He continued: "This message was such a reminder that grace and mercy have nothing to do with us. There’s nothing we could do to earn it, and nothing we could do to deserve it. It is only and has always only been about Jesus, who he is, what he did, and the grace that he continues to pour out, which is why I thank God for the man on the middle cross.”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Man On The Middle Cross’ by Rhett Walker today, and it was able to remind you of the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice.

Listen to this wonderful live worship performance from Paul Baloche of the song ‘Above All.’

“Above all powers, above all kings, above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man, You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones, above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth, there's no way to measure what You're worth”

What an amazing song that honors and praises God for all He has done for us. ‘Above All’ was co-written by Paul Baloche and Lenny LeBlanc in 1995. And Lenny shared why he believes the song has connected with so many Christians over the years.

“I think because it's such a beautiful picture of how a God that is above everything would become like a rose trampled on the ground, take the fall and think of us… above all," Lenny LeBlanc said.

A popular version of this song was covered by Michael W. Smith and recorded on his live album titled Worship. The singer-songwriter also performed it during U.S. President George W. Bush's 2001 inaugural prayer service. He recalled coming across the song and knowing that it was the right one to sing at the event.

“I knew the whole thing was going to be somewhat traditional. I was just trying to find something that leaned a little bit contemporary, but I couldn't find anything,” said Michael W. Smith. “So I started going through all these worship CDs I get in the mail. And then on the third CD I listened to, I ran across 'Above All.' I had never heard it. And I'll never forget going, 'That's what I'm singing in Washington.'"

And when Paul Baloche heard about this story, he was so surprised. "I'm humbled and blown away that a simple prayer of worship, started at my little piano, found its way to the President of the United States,” said Paul. “The possibility that this song could be an encouragement to him is such an honor."

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this worship performance from Paul Baloche of the song ‘Above All’ today!

Listen to this beautiful live performance of the song ‘St. Ferdinand' by Lauren Daigle.

“They said I wouldn't last long, but here I am, they say the spirits are strong
But I got 'em to bend, oh, life gave me lessons that I still question, oh
They said I wouldn't last long, but here I am, oh, Saint Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds play, Saint Ferdinand, not what I planned”

Lauren Daigle’s soulful voice blends so wonderfully with the instruments and other vocalists in this music video as they all harmonize together. And the singer shares the background of her new song ‘St. Ferdinand’ in a recent interview.

“The song ‘Saint Ferdinand’ is all about longing for a place that you once loved, but you had to move on. I left Louisiana, moved to Nashville, but Louisiana will always be the core of who I am. But I did pick up new things along the way,” shared Lauren Daigle. 

“Sometimes, when you go through adversity and go through having to learn yourself in a new way, the challenge of a new city or a new place or whatever, it does strengthen you in the long run. It really does teach you and show you what you’re made of. And with this song, it’s all about that journey of feeling like, ‘Oh, I’m never gonna make it, I’m never gonna survive here.’ And then before you know it, you’re falling in love because you allowed yourself to just go through the hurdle of missing home.”

In the song, Lauren Daigle shared that Natalie Hemby, who sings the background vocals, represents the Nashville side of her life. And Jon Batiste, who plays the melodica in the song, represents her hometown.

We hope that you enjoy listening to ‘St. Ferdinand' by Lauren Daigle today!

When we become followers of Jesus, suddenly our vocabulary changes with words like savior, amen, and blessed. Perhaps the most enduring word we speak when we are given new life is the ability to call Jesus our friend. If you call Jesus your friend, you will love this live performance of ‘He Calls Me Friend’ from CityAlight worship. 

Not only do they call our attention to who Jesus is to us, they remind us of who we are to Christ!  Because of Christ, we are born into a new family of brothers, sisters, and friends. Like Christ’s example on the cross, he reminds us in John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.”

The idea of laying down our lives for merely a friend sounds like a daunting task. But what if we could do it knowing we could save their souls? What if we could do it knowing they won’t have to experience loss, pain, or shame? 

It’s one of the many reasons Christ died for us. He gave up his life so that we could have ours. In return, we know just how deeply he cares for us. We are blessed to not only call Jesus our friend but we are also blessed to sing of his blessings. CityAlight guides us through a powerful worship song that reminds us of just how strong our unity with Christ is in the realm of friendship. 

No matter how big or small your friendship circle is, you can always count on Christ standing by your side!

“You are the light of the world. A town on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven,” Matthew 5:14-16.

A group of musically gifted high school students performed a beautiful cover of a beloved hit from Christian musician Steven Curtis Chapman, “My Redeemer is Faithful and True.”

Life can often be filled with, at times, what feels like impossible and unwinnable situations. Every choice can feel like the wrong one sometimes. These situations can lead some to question whether God is still at work and in control. 

However, God’s Word states in several places that he will never leave or forsake us. He will remain at our side, and even when it may not feel like it, He is still at work and in control. Several high school students, with a terrific rendition of “My Redeemer is Faithful and True” sing about God’s continued and never-ending grace, love and protection. He is faithful, and whatever He promises, He will do.

The song’s opening verse is an excellent reminder that God has seen us through past situations and trials every single time. With such an outstanding track record, there really is no need to question or doubt God.

“As I look back on the road I’ve traveled
I see so many times He carried me through
And if there’s one thing that I’ve learned in my life
My Redeemer is faithful and true
My Redeemer is faithful and true”

The three young people who take turns singing different pieces of the song are thoroughly gifted, showing off their obvious talent. Additionally, the individuals providing the music show off their nimble fingers as they strum their various instruments.

What a tremendous and remarkable performance about the faithfulness and righteousness of the Lord. He alone is worthy of all glory, honor and praise!

Fountainview Academy, according to its YouTube channel, is a Christian high school in British Columbia, Canada. Each staff member of Fountainview Academy is “personally committed to the eternal success of every student.” 

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.”

A little humorous nostalgia. Why lighted hearted comedy? Because Christians should being having more fun than anyone else in the world because our joy isn't dependent on external circumstances.

Listen to this beautiful live performance of 'So Will I (100 Billion X)' by Benjamin William Hastings.

“God of creation, there at the start, before the beginning of time, with no point of reference

You spoke to the dark and fleshed out the wonder of light, and as You speak, a hundred billion Galaxies are born, in the vapor of Your breath the planets form, if the stars were made to Worship so will I, I can see Your heart in everything You've made, every burning star”

The wonderful lyrics, Benjamin’s vocals, and the stunning sound of the string instruments make this live performance just absolutely beautiful to listen to. And when the other voices join in, the sound is simply heavenly.

Benjamin Hastings wrote 'So Will I (100 Billion X)’ alongside Joel Houston and Michael Fatkin, and he shared about the process of writing the worship song and how it came to be.

"That was the first song I ever wrote with Joel. And we went on this journey together, over the course of maybe a year and a half, just bouncing sporadically, bouncing back and forward ideas,” Benjamin shared. 

“And he was the one that originally sent me the concept of like, OK, well, what if we make every course different? We take people on this journey. And as a part of that and that initial, he kind of blasted me. The thousand lyrics. And at the end, there was that line he'd swap the 100 galaxies in the last course to 100 billion failures disappear," he recalled.
