I go to this school, and let me tell everyone. The joy and excitement for God you see in this choir is in almost every part of the school. Very awesome

[@eowynchild]

So wonderful to hear!

[@sanschmidt6727]

Then you are blessed

[@Gospelized]

Truly a blessing from Christ

[@keneilrichards4342]

Love the song but going to do some adjustments, going to pull out the parts that suggests God was nailed on a cross and was humble to the grave God is a spirit he can't die nor be nailed the man Christ Jesus was a vessel possessed by God given up for mankind risen up by God exalted by the spirit of God and glorified no more Marie's son glorified with God himself his look, God is still everlasting even though the look of the son of man remains God remains who he is everlasting

[@shintaroiwata7732]

@@keneilrichards4342 well Jesus (God nature) didn't die but he experienced the grave (wrath of god) I think. But yah, I get it, a bit misleading but I think that's what the author meant.

[@BeckyBowman2001]

My church choir sung this at my son's funeral. My son was a Christian and, in my mind, I saw him running into the arms of our Lord. My son is with the Lord and I can't wait to be with him again. What a glorious song of joy! Thank you for the magnificent job you did.

[@evangelicful]

Absolutely beautiful moment❤ thank you for sharing

[@samuraichilton]

Beautiful story.

[@GiovanniLumetta]

We sang this at my sister's funeral 13 years. She was a stillborn. I now sing this song on a regular basis on our church choir, and I have yet to sing this song once without tears in my eyes.

[@ewoudvanjaarsveld9711]

Dear Becky, my heart goes out to you, here is some encouragement. The beauty of everlasting life in Christ Jesus is that we will see each other again, and while praising the Lord we will enjoy the company of all the believers (John 14:1-6). Beholding the victory of Christ on the cross of cavalry is our blessed hope (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).

[@moa5351]

Sorry about the loss of your son... it must be hard to miss him.here on earth, but then we know that we will see all our saved loved ones on the other side. God has you in his arms.❤❤❤

[@alfredocervantes4638]

I lost 2 brothers due to covid and every time I play this song, which is very often, I cry like a child thinking that our Lord is in control and He will show us The Way. Praise The Lord!

[@moa5351]

Oh no...God heal your heart and give you joy and peace that surpasses understanding ❤❤❤

[@joasniyobuhungiro5119]

The Lord will be with you and protect you .. and by the soon return of Our Lord you will see your beloved ones who are Gone.. may the Lord of peace be your stay and strength. From Brother Joas in Rwanda.

[@SincerelyHannah9]

This is why God gave us the gifts of singing and playing musical instruments: to use it all to bring Him glory. I’m brought to tears at how marvelous this is😭

[@milesboulton9885]

I had the same response. Awesome. Praise Him!

[@alwardsengineering6561]

Has the same affect when you sing it in a big choir gives me goosebumps

[@chaplaincgpd2]

😮😮😮😂🎉

[@CH-mc6ws]

Me too - cry every time

[@gabrielachouja4524]

Praise the lord for this generation!

[@lindacain1734]

It’s now 2023 that I came across this. I wanted the song for my funeral. Our choir & large church really feel the words in our guts. I now want only this rendition. Y’all move me every time I hear it! Thank you so very much! God is indeed glorified.

[@garybennett7851]

During this Covid 19 lockdown here in Rwanda I start each morning listening to you sing this great truth, our God is seated on His throne.

[@iscezbal8]

Amen...

[@arnoldmugisha4363]

Praise the lord am actually from Rwanda

[@robinconn5945]

He rules with His feet up...not pacing, wondering what to do or caught off guard. Praise Him!

[@michaelpaul721]

Yes Brother

[@bethfurry7461]

Those voices! The joy that emanates from Christians when they sing of the Lord- unparalleled!

[@MrKeithva]

Behold our God, seated on His throne. Behold our King, nothing can compare!!

[@Simplelifeusapinay]

CBU is my Alma mater. So proud of this choir and the joy they have singing for the Lord.

[@Tim_Lehmann]

When I was there it was CBC! Now it's a University.

[@JoeGolfKing]

Fantastic. This was sung at my church this morning, but it was just a handful of people on the stage. I am reminded of a time a radio pastor spoke of a crowd hearing the Hallelujah Chorus at Moody Bible Institute. During a silence, an elderly man cried out, with tears in his eyes, "That's MY God they are singing about!". Just a wonderful performance from CBU, and yes, it did make my eyes tear up, because that is my God they are singing about.

[@pqm702]

Oh man, this brought tears to my eyes. GOD is good! And He is worthy of all praise and worship.

[@SusanaMoralesMora-u2h]

Oh Lord! Let me be there! Help me! I want to adore You there, where you'll be , there in heaven! sitting on your throne! 🙌🙌🙌

[@janklein6385]

Almost unbelievable that choirs in heaven will be even more beautiful and glorious!

[@briankellogg7710]

Jan Klein I couldn’t say it better myself!

[@christinejohnson2341]

I await that day anxiously!!

[@mortsey]

I imagine the blending will be smoother but I agree.

[@coryburns1905]

@Chris C hey I just wanted to say hi and I will be looking for you and as I type this up I'm crying I do that I'm okay I love you brother

[@nataliepowers8002]

As a musician myself, I am so excited!

[@racheltonner2509]

The vocals, the reverence and the powerful REAL message. Incredible! Love when the band stands and joins. Goosebumps!

[@robertroyforesman5418]

To the 237 people who dislike this, I pray for you. Nothing can compare to the love of God which passes all understanding. Seek Him, and he will heal you heart and minds beyond all understanding.

[@rosineabayisenga1374]

May you pray for me? And help me

[@mortsey]

I still can't get over the level of excitement that just exudes from this magnificent choir. Just amazing.

[@MattPerk7]

If you can't get excited singing this song there's something wrong, lol

[@glennericksenmusic]

Yes....this is awesome!

[@superhumanchick303]

Wow. Just wow! This song gave me chills. Can you picture it? I mean really picture it. Jesus, our Lord, Savior and King wiping all of this pain away and welcoming us home with loving arms💕 He deserves so much more praise than we give Him. God bless you for this song.

[@brendahamblin3295]

One day! ❤

[@maramaxwell2687]

You can see the joy radiating from this Choir to be glorifying & worshipping God so beautifully. Precious 💙

[@huskerite2]

This is one of my all-time favorite true worship hymns!! In true worship God is at the Center where He belongs! The truth is proclaimed, not just a romantic feeling. Your facial expressions show that you enjoyed exalting Him in that way. You are all blessed from the front row to the back. You've probably graduated and moved on into the work force, but never forget this day that you worshiped the Lord together in a way that He is worthy of.

[@davemoench8789]

The lyrics are what first captivate me. It is SUCH a worshipful song. And the performance of it was superb. I’ve been listening to it for some time now. It never gets old. How could it? How could high praise of God ever diminish? It can’t. Thanks BCU!

[@micblue4739]

You have a very talented group of musicians I wish I could sing with your school someday

[@MrJohnno76]

So uplifting to see these young people joyfully worshipping!

[@Cmr-g1f]

I am crying… I think this is my favorite song! I love our God so so much!!!! Bless Jesus forever!!!!!

[@jalenaaron2013]

I'm the same when it comes to this song. I spent all summer singing like an angel listening to this song riding my bike like a horse through the life God has blessed me with.

[@billcamp06]

Same here!

[@timothyt.willett3824]

This song makes me cry too.

[@maryvandeusen5554]

I have listened to this at least 10 times and have shared with my sister, husband, and two friends and I’m not stopping anytime soon. 🙏🏻❤️✝️

[@ClaireGagne-i6m]

I sang this with my church choir, and the accapella while practicing is like nothing else! They joy I felt inside me was the best feeling in the world ✝

[@davidmcclung102]

Loved so much about this. Inspired by the next generation. The ending where the orchestra stood and joined acapella was singularly fantastic.

[@glennericksenmusic]

Yes....amazing how the orchestra became a choir at the end!

[@timbannister2788]

I came across this a couple of years ago and was astonished then that I had never heard this before. This has become (by far) the most powerfully written words and performed miraculously by the choir and band. This past Sunday I came as close to death (health issues) as I have ever come and for me my perspectives changed so quickly. Everything of material worth and value both earthly and heavenly faded away and the only thing that mattered was hearing him say enter in. A heart that fights sin, will fight sin no more. A body that is aging will no longer age. I would be happy to sit on a street corner if the weight of sin was no more. I turned on the computer this evening and saw this video pop up. No words more powerful, or more life gripping have I heard. Thank you so much for those who toiled in long practice sessions to bring it to life. You have blessed me dearly.

[@bethanyshoemaker1271]

Hello. I said a prayer for you. The Lord is with you will always be.

[@rochellemcryans2825]

California Baptist University, is a blessed school to have. Such young beautiful young men, and women sing and worship our father in Jesus name.

[@tanyadixon7980]

My favorite part: when the orchestra stood up in honor of His GREATNESS!!!!!🔥🙌🙌🙌😍✝✝✝✝❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@benjaminthompson7474]

Ikr? That part gives me chills every time!

[@davidmacphail2057]

Me too!

[@bobapjok4241]

That was amazing. Ive felt that way when we stand for the Hallelujah chorus before, but ive never really seen it outside that context. That was great

[@billcamp06]

👏🙏✝️

[@JRVlogs2899]

Kings and nations tremble at his voice All creation rises to rejoice Behold our God, seated on his throne Come, let us adore him Behold our king, nothing can compare Come, let us adore him Who has given counsel to the Lord?

[@SHARKFORDINNER]

Thank you, your performance filled my heart to the brim! Come, let us adore Him!

[@avonleajohnston254]

This version was one of my grandpa's favorite songs! He used to listen to it every Sunday morning before he preached for a LONG time. He finally went to be with the Lord on Thursday and all I can think is that he gets to sing this in the presence of the Lord! What a thought! ❤

[@candybanks8717]

So sorry for your loss😪 So jealous of his gain!😃

[@laurenholladay]

I shed tears of joy watching these beautiful young brothers and sisters worship Our King!

[@glennericksenmusic]

Me too! I can't stop listening to this!

Thank you all for your hard work, preparation and outstanding delivery. Each of you has richly blessed this 75-year-old man in Idaho Falls, Idaho, resting with my two dogs. I will pray that God leads, guides and directs your pathways as you continue through your God-centered lives. 24 Sep 23 🙏

[@jeremybrowne9221]

I have watched / listened to this probably 100 times and still love it. Great song, great choir.

[@glennericksenmusic]

Me too.....put's a lump in your throat each time!

[@ZBatayola]

To God be all the glory. Thank God for all members of this choir.

[@monicadahl7715]

It’s so beautiful to hear such worship in song. It makes me cry. The Lord inhabits the praises of his people. I believe the angels all join this kind of praise. The Lord bless and keep you. Keep singing,it’ll keep you young. I think you’re beautiful!

[@wilburreid3]

A beautiful and moving performance. I have replayed this video dozens of times today, and the orchestra standing for the acapella ending still gives me chills.

[@RebeccaMiller-j2d]

Awesome, and Behold our God, nothing can compare! PTL

[@gbrownstone]

This is the best version of this wonderful Praise song I have ever heard..Great Job Team!

[@DannyMcKinney79]

This song draws me closer and closer to the Holy Spirit and I believe our Savior Jesus Christ is risen from the tomb on Easter Sunday morning. I believe the destination of Christ has determined me to stay observant and vigilant in Christ

[@AlanSorm]

I bought the Cd from this concert and took it to the choir director She bought the arrangement and we sang it our Christmas Concert.

[@joshualindner6184]

[@jessicasmelcer7609]

This was one of my mom's favorite songs. A small group of her choir friends sang it at her funeral. Thank you so much for this beautiful rendition, it brought me to tears.

[@BillRandolph-z3x]

I am so blessed by this choir. I am so encouraged that young men and women (even 9 years back) are still singing praise to our God. Thank you.

[@mrsdiwi]

Wow. That is a very real faith! Psalm 40:3 "And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall SEE it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord."

[@billcamp06]

I love that verse!

[@FrankPCarpi]

I can't sing this song without tears of joy welling up in my eyes and awe in my spirit. No other faith can offer us what Yeshua alone has promised... eternal life with our King of kings and Lord of lords 🙏🙏🎉🎉🥳 hallelu-Yah!!!

[@hillslomiga6837]

Great job choir!!!! What a blessing

[@jacknjoroge3370]

This is beautiful. I tell you. I only had the accapella version done by praise and harmony choir but above all am in love with this version. May God bless you as you praise His Holy name.

[@bobmoeder4907]

I never tire on listening to this song. So uplifting.

[@offemanthony665]

❤

[@hawaii5964]

I am admittedly (although 60 years old) am more the Chris Tomlin, Crowder Band type in my musical style preference for worship. All that said, this type of song is not about style, but about GOD Himself. Infinite AMENs to this beautiful rendering of a great song that so wonderfully puts the focus squarely on God. I have listened to it again and again. And it about brings me to tears every time.

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

Amen! I love this rendition of this song!

Revelation 19:6-8 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

[@samuraichilton]

There is something special about a choir

[@tommyedodson2412]

still listening in 2021. just an up-lifting song. wonder sometimes what each of these talented singers are doing now for the Kingdom.

[@yeewengchiang3295]

Magnificent! Just imagine, when the day comes, as we stand before the Throne and the Lamb, along with the great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, in white robes and palm branches in our hands, together with all the angelic hosts singing praises before Him. The grandeur and the glory would be thousands of times more majestic than this.
