How beautiful! I sang this song around the same time with my choir but the discipline and conviction of the choristers in this performance was remarkable. Dr. Cheek is remarkable, and these young men are so very fortunate to have such leadership. Please continue to make more beautiful music. It makes this would a much better place.

I cannot get enough of this wonderful work and its various renditions. My greatest thanks and appreciation to its composer, Kurt Bestor, for once again having provided concrete evidence that there is still hunger for what many would call "serious" music. Kurt, I'm glad I know you.

[@elizabethclifford7044]

In one song, I now see and feel the full emotion and expanse of the need for love in this world. Thank you. These courageous young men and their leader Dr. Jimmy Cheek represent a special place of worship within us all and that when God responds to our prayers, He may very well do so with this music accompanying Him. I pray for this group who's mission is clear ! ! Amen ! !

All I can say is WOW! I especially love how you used the consonants in the bridge as opposed to just singing the usual “ah”. Great way to maintain unity in rhythm and tempo among the ensemble.

Absolutely Amazing

[@bhenry58]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@davidhensley76]

This is a bit slower than some other choirs sing it, and the vocal blend here is top-notch.

[@MR-vj8dn]

Thank you for sharing. I'd re-arrange a few structural things (to get some more swing) and a few notes to get some more feeling of forward motion .. and speed up the performance. But anyway, thank you.

[@moragnterrellwilliams4448]

:D

[@toiam8350]

OK and?

[@cynthiabarlow4620]
