Down From His Glory - FBC Jacksonville, FL

Chip Dorton sings with the Chancel Choir of First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, FL (2000)

[@ronfoster1445]

Where do voices like that come from? Effortless, heartfelt, meaningful, powerful voices. I have been kissed by my Creator today in hearing this song of praise! My tears were only that of the purest joy. My God has touched me again today. Have you fallen in love with Him again? I did, thank you Lord.

[@darrenapple2200]

Amen!!!

[@myrtlegrant4586]

This very song was sung today in church it bless.my heart I felt the holy spirit.Beautiful..song..bless his holy name amen

[@Anonymous-ld2hi]

I used to sing in symphony. Technique-wise, the vocal chords are a talent one is born with (though you can improve through training). The other major factor is lung capacity. It's no accident this man was Big, as well as Luciano Pavarotti, etc.

[@reroehl]

The best song ever written

[@naturerebel2903]

thank you lord Jesus even though im not worthy!! Glory to my Lord and SaviorJesus Christ forevermore!!! amen

[@jerrysinclair3771]

Chip, I still miss hearing you in person. But my ways are not God's ways. How selfish of me to want Chip back here to sing when Heaven is his home.

[@hankferrell]

What happened to this breath taking voice?!

@@organlover1988 thank you for the update. we sure enjoy this ministry.

What a glorious arrangement of my favorite hymn! In the summer of 1960, at twelve years of age, I was attending the brand new First Assembly of God Church in Wichita, Kansas. Paul Ferrin was the music director and Victor Trimmer was the preacher. Paul and the choir sang this song and Pastor Trimmer preached and I gave my heart to Jesus. Then my mom, dad and sister were saved and we were all baptized in that church.

[@jujuray913]

That's such a beautiful testimony!

[@childofj]

Absolutely Heavenly what a gift Chip had. Hair standing on the back of my neck. A powerhouse. Rest well in Glory dear child if God. It's an honor to have heard this Heavenly voice .

[@KathyPurdywriting4Him]

Now this is worship music!

[@glorialeeyoung4400]

The words of Down From His Glory, were written by William Booth Cliburan.(I unsure of the spelling). He was a great friend of our family when I was a little girl. The music is from A solo Mio. I even have a note in my family album to me from him.

[@Anonymous...318]

The proper way to sing this song! 🎤🎼🔊📢

[@timwelch801]

Absolutely awesome! If you don't feel the holy spirit move within you while listening to this then you have something seriously wrong with you! :-)

[@alexanderh2345]

This is a song about the oneness of God. The truth of God. Jesus Christ! Whether you know it or not, whether you believe it or not, it’s about the blessed and holy ONEness of Jehovah Jesus.

[@videosofblessings]

This was in the current main audtitorium in 2000. Too bad you missed getting to hear Chip sing in person. It was really a blessing.

[@gacputech7719]

I live in Brunswick Georgia, about an hour away. It was a great blessing to be able to drive down and attend First Baptist Jacksonville for several years, and hear Chip in person! We miss him but the choir in Heaven gained a great singer!

[@JM-gu3tx]

He has a strong operatic voice. People like that can also make their mark in opera, which can be sublime in terms of hitting those high notes.

[@RichardSamAwuy]

Such an extremely special talent! Thank you for sharing. May God bless this video to bless many hearts that watch and listen to this video. Praised be to GOD. Soli Deo Gloria!

[@artemtsarevskiy2785]

Wow! Praise God! This is a splendid performance and I love it

[@maryhodnett8193]

What a singer! I feel blessed everytime I hear it.

[@JM-gu3tx]

This guy is on par with Pavarotti and Placido Domingo in terms of an operatic and angelic voice.

[@carolenagel2254]

Wow! My mama would have loved this rendition. Thank you for using your voice for the aLord.

[@MissionaryInMexico]

Along with being my favorite hymn besides Amazing Grace, this song was also a favorite of God's prophet to the Gentile Bride, William Branham. This is so well done. I remember posting something similar before... But it got deleted. Sorry to see that God offends the uploader.

[@jundytouch]

Wow, I love your songs. It brings up the old times. I am now 44 yet I heard this and the other songs when I was a little boy. Until Then and the other songs blest me so much again. Thank you, FBC. I wish to hear you sing live someday. If not here on earth, it will be in heaven. Thanks to you all at FBC.

[@kathydaly997]

Thankful for years of Memories of beautiful Worship Music and for Chip Dorton. I remember the morning he came to my preschool class and we were making pancakes that day for breakfast. He gathered the kids around him and he taught them to sing "I like to make the pancakes!" Such fun and wonderful memories. This song is my favorite.

[@MissionaryInMexico]

After playing piano from the age of 2, when I gave my heart to Jesus when I was 21 the Lord flooded my heart with multiple piano hymns, and this was one of the first 5. I love singing it!

[@anabeldinfotan7610]

My favorites song of all time..ive heard this song way back 1980's..never thought i can sing it..learning to sing more on his high notes..incredible..this arragement you felt something of the glory of God..felt like you're in heaven..you'll never get tired hearing this song..sad bec he is now in heaven..thank you for singing this song ..

[@justsayin1643]

wow I bet that was amazing. I got to hear Chip at the Pastor's Conf just before he passed away. When I watch him sing in this video he makes it look easy.. An awesome voice.

[@mariafernandez6439]

Down from His glory, Ever living story, My God and Savior came, And Jesus was His name. Born in a manger, To His own a stranger, A man of sorrows, tears and agony.RefrainO how I love Him! How I adore Him! My breath, my sunshine, my all in all. The great Creator became my Savior, And all God’s fullness dwelleth in Him.What condescension, Bringing us redemption; That in the dead of night, Not one faint hope in sight, God, gracious, tender, Laid aside His splendor, Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul.RefrainWithout reluctance, Flesh and blood His substance, He took the form of man, Revealed the hidden plan, O glorious mystery Sacrifice of Calv’ry, And now I know Thou art the great I Am.Refrain

Thank you!!! ☺ London UK

[@nanapowers56]

I was a member of this wonderful choir for 7 years and I can tell you that Chip was a blessing to all who sang with him or heard his songs. He even went on a choir trip and tried to sing his solo song but was too sick to actually sing. His cancer just took over his body. We miss him but know he is blessing people like my mother in heaven just waiting to see us - his friends and fellow choir members one day.

[@sid348]

I remember when Chip sang at one Pastor's Confernce with John Mcarthur as the speaker that night. After he was done, John Mcarthur couldn't speak for a few moments.

[@wehizoktara9403]

I am touched by the melody he has.

[@wehizoktara9403]

And high pitch

[@tommyferguson6102]

I was there also. You are right. He did this song

[@jackhomesley9896]

McArthur said, “I’m not going to sing…but… I bring you a word from God.” BOOM!!!

[@ltbrigade]

What exceptional excellence in production and performance! Even the video, from 2000, looks better than most performance videos you might catch on KZbin. But beyond that, the touch of heaven is evident! The gospel, compressed into this lovely song, and then sang with anointing and great talent. Amazing!

[@mannfan12]

Just heard this for the first time. WOW amazing. and I was thinking the same thing. what great quality - so much better than most YT videos today and this was from 2000? Just amazing. some really talented people on the back end of this.

Can someone help me with this song lyrics? I found it different than any lyrics "Down From His Glory" on internet. Thank you so much.

[@charlotteorr1186]

Yes, I can tell you what I know. This is an adaption of O'sole Mio.(Italian Love song) This adaption was Written by the founder of the Salvation Army, William Booth. O" sole Mio is about a love between a man and a women but Mr. Booth properly rendered it between God and man. This song is so beautiful to a beautiful God who loves us so immensely that he came to save us when we could not save ourselves. ❤
