I couldn't stop crying when I pulled up this video! Something happened inside my heart and I began to worship the living God with all my soul! Thank you for this beautful masterpiece! All the Glory to our saviror Jesus for his sacrifice! Wow, what a glorious arrangement . It sounded like angels singing! This choir is a gift from God! I am so blessed and my heart is filled with gratitude! I have recently suffered the loss of a very close friend who was like a brother to me for half of my life and it has been a difficult road. I could feel God's presence all around me as I heard this choir singing for the first time! I know that God is always with us and I am grateful that I had my friend for 22 yrs . I pray that I will see him again one day in heaven where we will be singing God's praises forever!! Thank you and God bless you all in Jesus name!

Everything is wonderful, but the female soloists voice is so delicate and rich at the same time. Exceptional.

It is so special to hear the babies in the background. God is good. God is great and He prospers in our progeny.

[@ThomasMusa24]

I can imagine heavenly angels joining to sing this song of gratitude and adoration to our wonderful savior for His unconditional Love.

[@annaklassen8876]

Glorious! How can one watch and listen to this song and not wipe a tear.

[@mikebarker2806]

For sure. Kristin's solo was angelic, heavenly for certain!!

[@barbaragarriott2364]

[@sunshine3679]

[@valliemackrell1228]

Blessed be the Name of God forever and the works of His faithful people.

[@OasisChorale]

Yes, it's our goal to glorify our Lord and Master.

[@michaelboud9642]

So beautiful! You sound like angels!

[@yuehchopin]

Gottes Segen, alle sind schöne Geschwister zu sehen, wunderbar!

[@wonderfulgood2010]

As our (including my) Mennonite churches become “worldly”, yes we are moving into musical instruments and away from congregational acapella singing. It is a huge loss.

[@GodsSmile]

*Absolutely beautiful, well done Kristin your voice is such a blessing*

[@Brittany-zl3ld]

Yes! This is amazing! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@mikebarker2806]

For sure!!

[@VS-om7ch]

And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain- For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? He left His Father’s throne above So free, so infinite His grace- Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam’s helpless race: ’Tis mercy all, immense and free, For O my God, it found out me! ’Tis mercy all, immense and free, For O my God, it found out me! No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine; Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th’eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

[@agarber1932]

Amen, amen and amen!!

[@dalestoltzfus7644]

What a beautiful expression of what is so foundational to our Christian faith. Jesus did SO MUCH for us!!!

[@brucebergstresser3973]

Each time I hear this offering it seems as though it is the first time. Such beauty, such grace, such a witness. Gott preisen. ✝

[@wonderfulgood2010]

Makes me cry every single time. And we Mennonites should move away from a cappella music...why?

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

Has anyone said that? Personally I love hymns with instruments too, but Mennonite Acapella is so pure and powerful. As you were!

[@jolenezimmerman1590]

Wow! This gave me goosebumps live and on video! Job well done!

[@richcoffey4080]

Wow - absolutely beautiful...

[@thorntona]

My dearly beloved friends - thank you. This day has taxed my soul in a very hard and unflinching manner. And you ended the long very dark and heavy day with peace, beauty, hope, and profound love. You never fail to bless my heart just as it needs. I am grateful always.

[@OasisChorale]

We are grateful that our art spoke to your need.

[@approp]

Is there any album recording of this? Beautiful arrangement

[@OasisChorale]

It is on our upcoming album that will be released in a few weeks from now. You can preorder it at our website.

[@bompkin1506]

@@OasisChorale Yay!!

[@okiaraymond3415]

Can i have a copy of this arrangement...

[@okiaraymond3415]

Please

[@Stauffer-fs8kz]

Lovely singing, but umm......Acapella????

[@annahoward7356]

A lot Mennonites are only allowed accapella in singing.

[@OasisChorale]

Good question. Dan Forrest also has an orchestral version of this arrangement. This version uses vocal percussion to add the emphasis provided by actual percussion in the orchestral work.

[@Stauffer-fs8kz]

@@OasisChorale I wasn't referring to the vocal percussion, but rather the cymbals and other added music. I think the voices praising the Lord are such a pure joy, and don't need the added frills to please the ear.

[@markusdunzkofer5873]

It’s gorgeous. The only unfortunate thing is the shushing of the kids by members of the congregation. Very annoying.

[@OasisChorale]

It’s actually us attempting a vocal drum roll 😊

[@markusdunzkofer5873]

@@OasisChorale Oooh.... sorry about that. My bad!

Nem ligo para o som das crianças, futuros cantores do coral.
