I am proud to say I attended LSU. God has sent his spirit to us to proclaim in song his excellent grace which is extended through Jesus Gods eternal alpha and Omega Son. Sent to us for our salvation. This song is a testament of the reminder of Our Father Jehovahs covenant with mankind. Thank you. LSU school Of Music. ❤

God hears y,our song. Change will come!

Advent carols trivia: this hymn is a paraphrase of "The Great O Antiphons" used from December 17-23 at Evening Prayer (Vespers) as an antiphon to the Magnificat in liturgical churches of the West. Each verse corresponds to one of the daily antiphons. The refrain echoes themes from The Third (rejoice!) and Fourth (Emmanuel) Sundays of Advent, just prior to the start of Christmastide, which starts on the evening of December 24.

For the last three years my family watched this video every Advent, we never tire of it. By far the best rendition of this stirring hymn of hopeful anticipation.

[@MichelleGold]

Messianic recording artist here, michelle gold...this is the Best version ever! Gary, you are a genius! Singers- outstanding!

[@garykuovideos]

Hi, Michelle Gold! How very kind of you!

[@donnasmith275]

Hallelu♡Yahweh♡ Amen,Amein! God bless you all,in the Precious Name of our Messiah,Yeshua, I pray, praise & thank Him alway! O Immanuel, O God With Us!

[@bro8974]

The great Advent song. Every year I welcome Advent with this song as does the Church. Miracles are possible, and Advent invites us to slow down to better appreciate the Christmas Miracle.

Chills come to my body every I listen it. The Blessed Mother was behind all this along with Jesus

[@rosayahshuaistheway8493]

Mary also needed a SAVIOUR....She was not a perpetual virgin (she was 'blessed' and all generations will call her 'blessed') and had at least six other children (four boys as recorded in the scriptures)..... GOD did it ALL...you are putting YAHSHUA HA'MASHIACH (JESUS CHRIST) as second? HE DID IT ALL, HE DIED for us...no one else and HE deserves ALL of our PRAISES. IN CHRIST ALONE do we have Salvation...There is only ONE MEDIATOR between man and GOD....CHRIST JESUS. Please read the gospels for yourself and you will discover things that your 'priests' never told you or even lied about such as the bodily ' assumption' of Mary...an admitted lie by the vatican (an idolatress institution) ...."christmas, easter (Ishstar...fertility goddess).get away from them and just follow and worship the One who is called IMMANUEL. :) don't follow man~made 'traditions'...JESUS had a bit to say about those things. The book of Revelation tells us to "come out of her...she who fornicates with all the kings of the earth " ie embraces all religions, which is ecumenism. JESUS said "I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT THROUGH ME." It is very clear... and call NO ONE FATHER here on earth as you have only ONE FATHER IN HEAVEN. HE IS THE ONLY HOLY FATHER...no priests or popes have a right to that title! GOD BLESS . With love from West Australia

[@awilson1022]

@@rosayahshuaistheway8493 You are COMPLETELY wrong. You asume Mary have other children because the scriptures speaks about Jesus Brothers. You incorrectly asume those are Mary's children when in those days it was customary to people calling themselves brothers. Luke 1 26 :31 clearly spells it out in the Prophecy " You will conceive and give birth to a son". It never said. She will have more than one son. You have been deceived like million others.

I have never heard such a creative and powerful arrangement of this song. I am speechless at the resulting clip, the sound, camera work, the harmonies and the modern feel. The love from each vocalist and the tenderness in the scenes between Mary and Joseph are awesome. I have shared it on facebook. Inspired perfection.

[@angelicamendoza3282]

The audio engineer did an amazing job with this !

[@davelamx2140]

Keep in mind this is recorded in a studio and then they dub the sound at the performers out in the wilderness to get the video. The piano in the video may not be the piano as heard. All kinds of tricks to get a film this well done to happen and sound and look this good. Kudos to all the people involved to create this!!
