I loss my daddy 2020 from Covid..I just heard this rendition a year after he died. Oh how I wish he could have heard this. He loved the song and loved the Aeolians. The song gives me hope that I will see him in The New Jerusalem.

As our tour bus made its way up to Jerusalem, this was playing on the bus' sound system. It was glorious. A glimpse of what the Lord has in store.

Marvelous arrangements in largo movement refrain and the oerformatic spiritual voices very impressive in trinados or some owaving vocalizind end phrases. Marvelous. Excelent performance. Congratulation. Remember my Maestrine Jane Faulkner from Four Square. Church arrangements in 70' s. PASTOR JBALMEIDA BRAZIL

[@patricebadja1378]

Wow wow wow, speechless!!!

[@kennedyoliver2065]

Magnifico.

[@jobucats2166]

I must confess, I never really had an appreciation for this great anthem until listening and viewing this ministry performance. This was brilliant musically; however I was totally immersed into the actual delivery and message of the lyrics as expressed through these wonderful singers' voices accompanied by the most talented orchestra. Thank you, Dr. Ferdinand, for being a mentor and musical guide to these young people. I must ask: is this arrangement an adaptation of another arrangement? I'm hearing some sections which have that "Ferdinand stamp" on them.

[@matthewmasuka4390]

Dr Ferdinand is something 👌

[@natboogie28]

Magnificent, voice of pure opulence.

[@antoniomanso6816]

Cari vi faccio presente e poi decidete voi , che dio non approva gli idoli come statue dipinti croci , si anche la croce e un idolo isaia 42 verso 8 : dice , io sono il signore questo e il mio nome , non daro la mia gloria ad altri , ne il mio onore agli idoli
