I Love to Tell the Story - A Cappella - Chris Rupp (Official Video)

[@3Hendon]

I truly miss the Old Hymns of the Church as well!! I grew up on them. I knew these hymns before (they were pleasantly burned into my brain) before I began to learn almost anything else. These treasures will remain with me Forever. I'm glad you like them as well. Hendon

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

I am still a member of a Baptist Church and still love these songs so very much! God Be with us all!

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@darlene-br1bq]

Wow, that was a lovely video in the church pews! It’s my favorite song because I love to tell His story by sharing my prayer life! 🙏 Darlene in Az

[@bruceanderson4112]

My greatest childhood memory is my Mom and Grandma singing this song together my mother at the piano my grandmother sitting on the piano bench beside her 😢

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

Have noticed not so many old songs at church lately! Miss those songs!

It’s a blessing to hear old hymn in acapella... God bless you more for using your God-given talent for His glory!

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

I agree!

[@ssFancyss]

I know that so many churches have gone to more contemporary hymns and while they are beautiful, I miss the hymns that I grew up with. Thank you for bringing back the joy of my youth. I love to tell the story is one of my favorites! I love all of your music but this speaks to my heart!

[@aaronbarnett9306]

@@ChrisRuppOfficial I have had the same issue with the churches getting away from traditional christian music where i live. You are a great singer of Christian music I have listened to home free and that band is great too

[@InclusionHarp]

Me too Brenda, to me as an "old guy" there is no better praise than the old hymns we grew up with. Bless you Sister.

[@jamellfoster6029]

Same here. I'm in my 40s & I grew up with the old hymns. They truly brought Jesus to me...

[@oopurpledove]

I think those of us who have responded to your comment, miss this so much.

[@judesboys]

I feel the same way. A lot of the old hymns have lyrics right from the Bible. I love listening to them.

[@donaldbroadway8073]

The four part harmony tells the story, Our lives are a 4 part harmony. The life we exhibit to the world around us; the one our relatives and friends see; the life that the closeness and intimacy of a very close friend or spouse; and the hidden life within our hearts and minds. When all four of these agree, there is a harmony that gives glory to the Lord Jesus. Thank you Chris for this illustration and reminder of His Love.

[@wilrobles5392]

The greatest story every told.

[@Pipercub1976]

Thank you for using your talent to glorify God. This was such a beautiful arrangement. I remember going to sing at nursing homes all throughout my teenage years, and this was hymn they regularly asked to hear. We didn't sound as amazing as you do, but the memory makes me smile. May God bless you today!

[@vlnemenzo6634]

praise God...Jesus is the story i loved to share...

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

Amen!

This brought back so many memories. Such a special rendition!

[@ChrisRuppOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@crownpoint9]

It is the song I remember at age 7.5. It was in 1958, near Sacramento CA. I had not been taken to church. My brother, Ricky, and I had made up a religion. “The universe has an opinion.” A foster home took us to a Presby church. They sang that hymn. I was then sent out to play. I pouted. “Don’t you want to play with these nice toys?” Me: “I really need to go back in there and hear that story!” They said “No”. I knew that sounded like a better religion.

[@mountaingirl6479]

I’m sorry your faith was not encouraged at that young age. Jesus said, “it would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.” Luke 17:2 I hope you eventually heard the whole story, and that your faith, strong now!

[@crownpoint9]

@@mountaingirl6479 Less than a year later in the fifth foster home, at their church, a little inner-city congregation in San Francisco, I was well taught, and I was glad to learn about the stories of Jesus.

[@mountaingirl6479]

[@presbyteriangirl9739]

Sang this at church today.

[@NancyCuppArt]

I was half way into the song before I realized it was one person singing the whole thing! Ha ha! Well done, great key changes. I have to sing this at a funeral tomorrow and wanted to see how others sing it. It is such a wonderful song of Jesus love for us. I learned that the author, Katherine Hankey, 1834-1911 was associated with the Clapham sect of William Wilberforce, a group of prominent evangelical Anglicans from the Clapham area in England. This group helped to establish the British and Foreign Bible Society, promoted the abolition of slavery, and was involved in improving the lot of England's working classes.

[@19bishop56]

I'm enjoying all the hymns you're doing. I can't wait to share them with my mother who is 89 years old. We used to sing them together. You are doing a wonderful job, G-d bless you!!!

[@ColeenHein]

Ahhh, this song brings such wonderful memories of my grandfather! Not because YOU are old, but because I am! LOL I have the distinct memory that he loved this song very much, and I feel I owe my spiritual heritage to him in no small part, so therefore this song (among other oldies) is also special to me. Keep "telling the story", Chris because God has blessed you so well to be able to do so in this way!

[@crystalketelsen1321]

Awesome! Your choice of the old hymns is great! And your bass! Never have gotten to hear that much of your bass - loved it!

[@lynn2574]

When I was a kid, I played the piano accompaniment for my friend’s grandfather who preached at a local homeless shelter. I went once a month with him, and played for the weekly service. This was one of the songs I learned for that. It’s been nearly 35 years. And my fingers still found their way into chord positions as you sang. Thank you for the memory. ❤️

I sometimes am challenged by the composition of late 19th century worship music (hearing it as kind of "old timey"). But the heart and soul that you gentlemen infuse and project with this beautiful hymn is something we ALL need to hear, share and in the name of our savior Jesus, find renewal of hope for today's world. Well done!
