Who is with me in 2020 at this moment when loves ones are dying alone because of this virus. God give their love ones strength to go on after this time.......

[@rebeccahilbrands1766]

Patricia Scott yes my heart is breaking. Dear family friend on ventilator for 2 weeks is having his machines shut off at noon today (25 min ago). This is what I can’t handle emotionally....the isolation of family members being by sides of their loved ones. His wife is only one allowed there and then she has to go quarantine for 12 days again. Just praying for Christ’s return soon.

[@kshuller]

They aren't alone. There are members of their deceased family with them. I know this because as my sister lay dying I saw my grandfather in her room. He looked as alive as he did the last time I saw him as a child. Take comfort from this because it is true. No one dies alone.

[@christiangibbs8534]

Ya gotta love that "Aw, shucks" smile he gets at the end. He's just so genuine. It's a nice change from so many performers these days.

[@deborahmichalak8991]

I cry when I hear him sing this. I am a widow and miss my husband among many others in my life. I will be glad when all this is past and I am with the LORD forever and we all will meet again!!

[@beckieakaodielion3739]

just watched this for the first time, tears streamed down my face, as this young man, recognized the magnitude of his audience and so humbly and beautifully delivered one of the best performances of this song I have ever heard.

[@tune490]

I agree 100%

[@lousifr]

I mean.... He IS a latter day Saint. Lol he knows the song quite well.

[@CarlaRupp]

What is his name? Amazing.

[@wilonaprelia6077]

Yes it was he has a wonderful voice and he was so charimatic

[@fdwyerSDMM]

"Sorry if I'm a little nervous singing in front of you!" then proceeds to belt it out like a master.

[@katwil89]

That was adorable.

[@pattyblack2566]

You are amazing. I have joined my choir in Pittsburgh, PA and I am happy I did and it fills my heart ❤️. God bless you for your voice. PB .

[@MrSpice5]

5 years later and that crystal clear voice still makes your eyes wet....

[@jacobsawyer2302]

This is five years later and you are right

[@bob15479]

David truly has a gift from God.

[@chrisd756]

[@franzsmith1206]

Chris D Amen! This song was written more than 300 years ago and it’s message is relevant today

[@AndyZaturno]

The voice of an angel.

[@waikikilatino1]

well said Andy :)

[@JoeyFTaylor]

It’s 2022 and I’ve recently watched his video where he pours out his heart and soul for the world. His inner anguish and pain and confusion broke my heart. David is a man of God and his love for our Father in Heaven and our savior Jesus Christ is so strong! He is still a great example of what it’s like to love the Lord and do your best to live a Christ like life. He has morals, which a lot of people lack. He is loving, sincere, honest and an all around beautiful spirit. David, you are perfect just the way you are. Your voice gives me goosebumps! It’s so pure and angelic just like you ❤️🙏🏼 You are loved my brother in Christ. Take care of yourself 🙏🏼 The world needs David Archuleta

[@charlenemack7040]

So beautifully said. Thank you very much.💖💖💖

[@lolaottinger3038]

There were several young men who were contestants on American Idol that let us know that their faith was strong, Jason Castro, David Archuleta, and Scotty McCreery, there may have been others, but these three really stood out in my mind. David is such a sweetheart.

[@djjecker9205]

So well said. It is sad in our civilized world that young people are so often put through that, and many do not make it out the other side. So happy that through the Lord Himself David is now living his true self. He has given the world and is giving the world SO MUCH.

[@pennydavis9494]

David was 'a nice young man's Now I see him as an Adult. He gives me hope that young people can navigate the conflicts of life and remain alive. My prayers have been for him.

[@camillaackerman6559]

Beautiful and well done.

[@ninadelisboa]

Where do can I press 10.000.000 times like to this video?? Absolutely amazing.

[@patrickallen2970]

This brings back memories of my wife Jeanie whom joined my son in Heaven. God Bless

[@canyoubelievethis220]

Sorry for your loss, Patrick. They are probably singing this in Heaven some time later this evening. This guy's voice is just plain sick! He has one of those voices that sounds he is crying. I know I am. Still come back to this video when I am feeling depressed or lonely. It always helps. God bless you.

[@janellebird3771]

You'll see her again soon. With Love from Angels.❤

[@rflarson28]

I just lost my dad, this song brings comfort to me. Thanks David, you've helped in a very hard time in my life.

Beautiful sweetheart 🌹❤️🙏

[@dannysgirl1549]

I love this hymn. It was sung at my brother's funeral...

[@kayleenewcomer1048]

It was sung at my brother's funeral, too.

[@janicetehie3839]

When my father died four years ago, at age 96, I sang this at his funeral. It was one of his favorites. Such a moving and spiritual hymn and absolutely beautiful.

[@ek1414_]

What a humble dude! Gotta love him!!

[@fred5150]

ECKeefe He is that and such amazing talent.

[@husseinnijim8395]

[@dilliampickle]

No joke, one of the most moving performances I've ever seen/heard.

[@miguelpinheiro525]

Very emotional performance 👍

[@carbon273]

1. Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side; With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain. Leave to thy God to order and provide; In ev’ry change he faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav’nly Friend Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2. Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake To guide the future as he has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below. 3. Be still, my soul: The hour is hast’ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

[@folabomifashion]

Thank you

[@leegaylan9430]

Thank you for sharing the words of ghid song "Be Still My Soul".

[@missdamned_1]

Beautiful words… heart warming and breaking at the same time 🥹😭

[@MissPenelopePuppet]

David Archuleta's tone is sublime!! Another favorite hymn.

[@offtoneverlxnd6021]

after the events in Paris on Friday, I've been searching for some sort of peace. "be still my soul, the hour is hastening on." I've found it, what a beautiful song it's one of my favorite hymns

[@Nuunanen]

The melody is actually a Finnish patriotic song, not national anthem, but a very special song to us Finns. It's called Finlandia by Jean Sibelius. I think it suits beautifully as a hymn as well.

[@Cryptosifu]

Interesting. Thank you

[@susannahwhite7561]

Amen! Spiritual communing with my Father in heaven.

[@dmtriromellibria5883]

Thanks for the information mate

[@kshuller]

Our 13th article of faith is ''"We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul-We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. We seek after all things that uplift no matter where it comes from. This beautiful song fits this definition. God gives His gifts to all his children.

[@johnperry1645]

Nuunanen - Sibelius is definitely one of music’s greatest. Beautiful song!

[@dianelivesley1686]

I'm not a Mormon, but looking at this song for mums funeral. Lovely rendition. Beautiful words. Meaningful in so many contexts. God bless.

[@arielgrushka]

What a pleasant voice David has! What a privilege to sing to this amazing choir! May God bless him!

[@lesliejohnson3413]

There is nothing like Hymns. They're so reverent and beautiful...something today's praise and worship songs are missing.

[@aleishayamamoto7625]

I love his voice. Whatever challenges he faces today, the atonement of Jesus Christ applies to him as well as for me and for all.

[@missdamned_1]

I truly believe this too 🙏🏽🥺

[@Yeshua835]

I hadn't heard his angelic voice for quite some time. This song touched the very depths of my soul.

[@aripag1215]

Yeshua835 i agree so spiritual

[@rodrigoconcha9]

"sorry if I... I'm a little nervous singing in front of you... I apologize in advance" *casually drops the greatest rendition of Be Still My Soul found on KZbin

[@dogman4100]

Who wouldn't be over-the-top proud to have this young man as their son. He was always my favorite American Idol contestant. Well done, David.

[@keithfoester7326]

somehow, he makes me believes in God even more... he's voice lends comfort to this world that is full of hate and bigotry in its late hour. Be still, my soul... trust in God with heart.

[@davidcarroll1883]

God bless you brother.

[@skinmomz88]

he is so cute and such a humble sweetness about him ^j^

[@angelofgod5418]

its not just Davids voice but his love for Jesus who is the king of Peace is bringing in the joys as u feel him move your hearts. praise God.. Jesus almighty...

[@bartschlief2574]

that's so right, but he has also a very special voice.

[@johnoconnor4623]

Oh, he is good; he sings it perfectly, 1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side. Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain. Leave to thy God to order and provide; In every change, He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav’nly Friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake To guide the future, as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay From His own fullness all He takes away. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hast’ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord. When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past All safe and blessed we shall meet at last. 5 Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise On earth, believing, to Thy Lord on high; Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways, So shall He view thee with a well-pleased eye. Be still, my soul: the Sun of life divine Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.

[@johnoconnor4623]

+Susan Howe It is a hymn for all ages, for every time, for every century. I love this hymn and just copied the words from somewhere else on the net. I will listen again soon to this great hymn.

[@momaezuma1959]

John O'Connor Thank you for typing the words of this beautiful song.

[@cedainty]

I'm Jewish but the music from FINLANDIA, Be Still My Soul, circumvents all religions or non-religions. It was a force against the Russians when the were trying to take over Finland. It kept the Finns fighting on, to their survival.

[@marlahill1396]

Candace Dainty I understand you and my family heritage being Finnish. Im so blessed truly and now breathe.

[@dalredmond5879]

Shalom Shalom This is a hymn for humanity and the ages. Exquisite beauty.

[@dalredmond5879]

P.S. The imagery of Sibelius taking shots at evil with his rifle in the fields of Finland must have been profoundly effective in motivating his country men against The Nazi's.

Back in the mid-1960’s we learned this hymn in confirmation class. I have never forgotten it. It is, and always will be a favorite. And, yes, I still sing in church choir.

Even the laughs of the MTC are in tune XDD I looooove David's voice so much. It's got so much sentiment. I am one of the blessed people who listened to him singing live in Chile while he was a missionery. What a beautiful and unforgettable moment.

No matter what the church feels/says, you cannot deny David’s spirit. And guess what? Our Heavenly Father knows us more than we know ourselves and He knew all along, David’s struggles, we all struggle in some sort of way, we chose our paths as we knew what was awaiting us in this life, Therefore i know with my entire soul, our Father in Heaven will embrace him, bc he loves each and every one of us, and like any parent, wants the best for us. 🙏🏽❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥

[@fgregory4129]

"Be Still My Soul" inspired by Psalm 46 by Jean Sibelius Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; leave to thy God to order and provide, in every change He faithful will remain. Be still my soul; thy best, thy heavenly Friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. Be still my soul; thy God doth undertake To guide the future as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still my soul; the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. Be still my soul; the hour is hastening on When we shall be forever with the Lord. When disappointment, grief and fear are gone. Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be Still my soul; when change and tears are past. All Safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Amen

[@ellen823ful]

Wow. I have this memorized now. It was sung at my mom's funeral September 2018. This song has been a comfort to me. I learned about the origin of the lyrics. The author's family was lost at sea. He went to where they perished and the words came to him. They give comfort to those in mourning. Peace.

[@jennifergriffiths3941]

I would absolutely love for DAVID Archuleta to do an entire album of beautifully simply rendered hymns just as he has so soulfully and lovingly has given us this precious selection. I would love this hymn that has brought me so much comfort at this time of the passing of my beloved husband. It is a great reminder - to at times- be very still so as to hear and feel the Holy Spirit in these tumultuous times ... thank you David.
