This is absolutely my favorite version of this song, it’s beautiful in so many ways. At one point Mark Lowry is behind him, they sang together with the Gaithers. Mark Lowry wrote the lyrics to Mary Did You Know. There is a version of him singing it with an acapella group called Voctave and it’s stunning. It had me ugly crying. 😅 I’ve never seen you before, first time here! Would love to see you react to that one and also a bass singer named Geoff Castelucci.

David is a staple in Christian music -- he has such a beautiful voice and heart and the Gaithers are awesome. I just saw this version recently myself! Can' t wait to check out your video of Rock legends who turned their lives over to Christ when I get a chance. Speaking of such things -- have you ever checked out "I am Second" testimonies? That might be something worth watching with channel members. They are well known people giving their testimonies -- thought it might be another cool thing to react to

@ it would mean so much to me if you would do this. Also, maybe reply here so I know that you did it so I can share it and we could help each other. The backstory briefly. This was the most emotional performance I’ve ever given and I started traveling and singing when I was 18 months old. This was Easter Sunday 2019 and my life was in freefall. I had no idea how I would make a living or what I would do and I wanted to die. These are the times, though when particularly the second verse of this song, changes your life, and I can look back years later, and realize how true it is.

Teaching voice is my job, and I would love to find more people. Thank you so much for sharing the video. or if you could do a second video just any of them that you want not even on my channel if you just type my name in there are bunches of them and put that information in one of them, it would be such a blessing.

Well you've fallen down the rabbit hole now and there's so much amazing stuff to explore from David Phelps. He also writes music and he's also written music with Gloria Gaither including an amazing song whom he sings with his 17 year old daughter called "water" about the woman at the well. Both his daughters are phenomenal in their own right. They sing back up for him. He has Christmas concerts on his property in a barn which is built into a really beautiful venue and another one of my favorites that he sings is called One Wintry Night. This one is perfect this time of year that he sings with Charlotte Ritchie called Fall on your knees which isn't what it sounds. Your reaction is very touching. I love watching people who are always just so moved by David's music Ministry. God really speaks through him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4vSmImLZs-oh9ksi=bRAF05GItgGZrMHF
