Evolution of 1990's Worship - A Cappella Medley

A Cappella Arrangement by David Wesley
Enjoy 35 of the top worship songs of the 1990's smashed together into an 11-minute blast through the past!
The 1990's ushered in a new era of worship music for the church, with new songs starting to reach believers and churches around the world, faster than ever before! So many of the classics from this decade remain favourites worldwide, still sitting in CCLI's top 100 charts tracking Sunday worship. The 1990's were also formative for me, taking me from elementary school all the way into university. Songs like the ones found in the medley are very much the soundtrack of my life, though I didn't have a chance to learn most of these until the 1990's were over!
If one of your faves didn't make the cut for this medley, check out this pre-production video that lists over 20 honourable mentions! • 1990's Worship - Pre-P...

I was born in 2003 but still grew up listening to a lot of these. Always cool to see how people have always been worshipping our Lord. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!

I believe this may be my favorite so far.

These songs define my childhood and my early walk with Jesus! So nostalgic and brought back the best memories of my life.

[@debbiemartin5000]

This is excellent! Such a flashback to growing up and thinking about how much God did in my life. Every song brought a back memories and a thankfulness for God's goodness and faithfulness.

[@DomingoResponds]

This made me happy. My inner 90s Christian music memories

[@dbwokc]

A lot of memories

[@marylandmonroe]

I'm surprised that so much time has passed but the songs have endured.

[@texasmamabear9651]

This was WONDERFUL!!! Many of these were songs that got me through our sons illness and subsequent physical disability (quadriplegic with no speech) in 1999. Thank You for this as it was just the boost I needed today after our son had a rough night last night… but our Loving God is SO Faithful and was/is with us at ALL times❣️ Blessings to You and ALL who see this comment and upon Your Families and Those You Love and Care About!! In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen and AMEN!❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

I showed the 80s video to my younger brother (born in 2000) to see which ones he knows. Time to go again!

[@davehurbon]

Thanks David for the stroll down memory lane. My eyes were open to what Jesus had done in 1994 and life has been so much better since. These songs helped me switch from a Catholic understanding of who Jesus was, to a personal relationship with Him.

[@MHlovesz]

Amazing how the whole (westerrn) world sing the same worship songs in the Church. 95% match in Hungary! Thank you David and glory to Jesus Christ!

[@Tekoa80]

Yes! I'm in the UK and thought there would be a lot that I'd never heard, but I knew most of them 😊

[@passtheparcel2024]

I got saved in 1990, never been the same since. Love praise an worship songs...

[@JimK404]

This is so good! I came to Jesus in 1994 so these songs are the soundtrack to my first years with him.

[@mariuslavynya2052]

Be blessed from Romania 😊

[@audrey6292]

My mom was one of the worship leaders at our church growing up, she passed almost 8 years ago. This is most definitely a tear jerker but such a good reminder of my childhood and my wonderful savior! Thank you! ❤

[@blindvision4703]

I was born in 2003. There are some songs in here I knew, and that I knew were from the 90s; there were some songs that I didn’t know, and did not know were from the 90s; and there were some that I didn’t know at all, just like in the 1980s medley. Next stop: the 2000s. And no 2000s medley would be complete without God of Wonders, In Christ Alone, Revelation Song, Speak O Lord, and potentially Mighty to Save by Hillsong (though I’m not always a big Hillsong fan, and a part of me wish I had checked the doctrinal soundness of Days of Elijah before I submitted it as a request). Still, great job, and God bless!

[@highway2heaven91]

Mighty to Save is by Hillsong not Elevation.

[@blindvision4703]

​@@highway2heaven91Thanks. My mistake.

[@aaronwesly9927]

Nothing beats this video.

[@mwangijn7913]

I look forward to you seeing each song on its own. Rich. Nostalgic. It Will be a wonderful relish of the past.

[@DavidWesley]

Unfortunately that won’t be possible. That would take a few years!

[@PaulWalker-zk2dd]

David, I cannot thank you enough for the hours and the passion you put into these works. Whenever I need to be lead to the throne of grace, you are the first that I turn to. God will richly reward you.

[@kathyengland3534]

My husband and I had a very blessed time listening to the worship you presented to us. Thank you for sharing your gift from God and to God with us.

Hallelujah!!! ☺️💖🙌🎶🎵🎼"You alone are worthy of my strength. You are my all in all. " Awesome!!! Praise Jesus!!!

Gosh, the amount of work that’s gone into this one almost 13 minute video is phenomenal! Good job man!

I was born in 92, so this was all what played in the car and on the cd player growing up. thank you for a great medley!

I totally need a Playlist....I didn't know how badly I needed these songs back in my life.

[@blakepace]

Thank you, David! Seeing my wife bopping to this while listening for the first time and making our Saturday dinner is priceless! And we're only at 07:14. Blessings, Brother!

At church we were so "We wanna see! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾We wanna see! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾"

[@johnvincent7170]

Wonderful! A decade that produced some powerful songs about our awesome Savior! Well done, I found myself singing along and a few times I thought, "I'd love to hear David do that entire song!"

[@blindvision4703]

Yes, like shout to the Lord or Agnus Dei.

[@RelaxingDisney]

Yes! I 100% agree! I'd love to hear a lot of these songs done by David Wesley! Please make this a reality!

[@DavidWesley]

Ah… I don’t know that I’ll have the time anymore.

[@della7]

I agree! I'd like to hear you David to a cover on ALL these great worship songs. Couldn't help but sing along, worshipping Him - I knew all of them except three. "Shout to the LORD all the earth, let us sing!"

[@maryruth7977]

Same here.🙂

[@ChallieWallie]

Being born in '81, the 90ies are absolutely 'my' era. Most of these songs where translated to dutch as well and I can just sing them from memory. Worshipping our Lord lifts Him up, but us as well.

[@t.scottmajor1316]

Yes! Amazing. Praise God. This will be watched and listened to many many times. Thank you David!

[@atashajordan]

From the first note I was like... yup... yes... this is it! Didn't know I needed this in my life.

[@DavidWesley]

You’re welcome!🤣

[@kaleimaile]

Brings me back to my college days since I started college in 1990.

[@dale1090]

As someone who came to know and accept Christ in the early 2000s, these were the songs I remember singing when I first started attending church. So many of them bring back memories. Keep up the good work and know that your gift is a blessing to others and a pleasant offering to God.

[@suzannetitkemeyernlq]

I am in tears here! Your medley was all the wonderful worship songs I sang in those years on my own worship team. So many wonderful memories. Stepped down from leading any sort of worship about 18 months ago due to having issues with the church suddenly allowing animals in the service, causing my mastocytosis to spin out of control. Yes, the church picked animals over a worship leader. So now I'm at home worshiping God. I miss the fellowship, but cannot keep risking myself and taking the ambo ride to the clinic. Thank you for the wonderful reminder anew of who our God is.

[@SSKRGUY]

Hey. Sorry about your experience. Couldn’t you find another church?

[@A.RandomLattin]

Wonderful!! I am a 1983 version. I knew all but 2 of these songs! Thank you David, for all the work you put into this mix!!

[@caroluse]

I was a pioneer back in the 1970’s when churches moved from organs and pianos to guitars and choruses. So much older now, I still believe the 1990’s are the pinnacle of contemporary worship! Thank you for this video!

[@libertyunderlaw]

@caroluse Just curious, why do you feel the 90's are the pinnacle of "contemporary worship"?

[@williamhoward2731]

I wish to thank you for sharing this awesome Christian songs from 1990 video with me . Amen

[@user-ph7nc7qz4z]

This might be the greatest thing that I have ever heard in my life. I'm not being funny. I really think this is the best thing I have ever heard. Ever. Wow!

Just so you are aware, I still listen to this almost daily

[@lindamcneil711]

This is my favorite out of your work. The bridging between songs... pure excellence. Thank you for your diligence and WOW! Thank you for the quality of work here! I was saved in the 80s... so this era was also very formative to me. Blessings!

This is beautiful! I'm sorry this video caused you to get discouraged but I think you should continue doing what you are doing! The world is blessed to hear your voice

[@DavidWesley]

I’m sure I’ll make more videos, just casually. But likely no more medleys or virtual choirs.

[@rosegroshek1218]

​@DavidWesley if it makes a difference, every channel has their ups and downs and unpleasant and unexpected results of random videos, and then you never know, but one random day this video could hit the algorithm again and get a ton more views. Sometimes there is no explanation. Don't give up

[@DavidWesley]

This is just part of a downwards trend. The virtual choirs in particular are no more popular than videos that take a tiny fraction of the time needed to produce them. Why do 20x more work for the same results?😭

[@odeamuzageorge5282]

​@@DavidWesley Just Know that I am blessed and so many others too. We need this so you are doing God's will and God will surely reward You... Pls don't stop.

[@NavarinoDC]

@@DavidWesley Don't give up. You are blessing so many people. More than you know. Think of Elijah (1 Kings 19).

[@missd4420]

Mr. Wesley: Let me reiterate (what I put on your latest post): *DO. NOT. GIVE. UP.* Persevere! “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” - 1 Corinthians 15:58 You work for the **Lord*, man! Now. No more talk about “sticking to medical”. Nothing is more healing to the spirit than *Praise*! Do you hear me??? Praise, is *more* important even than medical, because medical is temporal/ physical - but praise is *eternal*! Chin up, and keep on, keeping on! P.S. - Well done! 👏 👏 👏! But even more importantly: Praise be to God! Amen? 👂 Amen. Good. Glad we got that cleared up. 😉 😂 God Bless you, and thank you for continuing to share your gift!

[@missd4420]

Oh, and P.S. - There see people watching and listening that do not have KZbin accounts, so they cannot click “like”. Never trust a “like” as a sign people are responding. Some of us are old, and are not fond of giving up privacy for the privilege of social media. 😂

[@DavidWesley]

This isn’t about likes, really. This is about whether my channel is sustainable. I have to support my family in a world that is getting ever more expensive. I have less and less time that I can spare for making music.

[@nelsonhemstreet3568]

Very nice! I knew most of these, but not all. First class job.

[@bonnielesher1325]

Thank you for this melody of wonderful music. As you sang my heart and mind walked through the memories of where I was, who was singing it, who I was singing with, the trying times in my life that that song ministered greatly to me at that moment, the church choir introducing the new song and then we sang with them and never stopped, and lastly the people who I stood with in church who have now gone Home to Glory and are singing these songs with others there to The Lamb! Thank you! Thank you!!
