This man’s beautiful a cappella rendition of ‘I Stand In Awe of You’ will give you chills. Andrew Martin has done it again! He took an old hymn and breathed new life into it, and you would be disappointed. He sang the sounds of bass, tenor, alto, and soprano perfectly. Then he layered the videos over the top of each other, and you can’t help but think you’re listening to a choir perform. Instead, it’s just one man.
‘You are beautiful beyond description,
Too marvelous for words
Too wonderful for comprehension,
Like nothing ever seen or heard.’
It’s hard to believe it’s only one man singing. Andrew’s voice, resonated through the lyrics of the hymn, echoed the heart of the worship song. The words, “You are beautiful beyond description, too marvelous for words” filled the air, and I felt my own heart resonate with the truth of those words.
How often do we get caught up in the daily busyness of life? When we’re so busy getting to work taking care of the family, we tend to ignore the quiet longing in our soul to connect with just how magnificent our Creator truly is. Yet, during this song, I was reminded of God’s beauty and wonder—beyond comprehension, more glorious than we can describe.
‘And I stand, I stand in awe of You.
I stand, I stand in awe of You.
Holy God to whom all praise is due,
I stand in awe of You.’
So, in the quiet moments, when you pause to reflect on the goodness and beauty of God, let your heart stand in awe. Let the sound of Andrew Martin’s beautiful voice serve as a reminder that no matter how busy we are or whatever may be happening in our lives, we can still stand in awe of the Holy One.
Isn't that what true worship is? Standing before our Creator, acknowledging His greatness, and allowing ourselves to be moved by the beauty of His presence—knowing that He is both beyond comprehension and ever so near. And in that space, we are forever changed.
Take a moment today as you listen to this song—close your eyes, breathe deeply, and stand in awe. He is worthy of every breath.
