With so much racial problems going on, we can still get together and praise the Lord. NOT EVEN COVID-19 CAN STOP HIS GLORY!

[@williammason475]

Amen brother,. Nothing can separate us from the Love of Christ!

[@rhondabrown5778]

PREACH THAT, MICHAEL!!!!!!!!

[@MrCJ-qz9dl]

​@@williammason475We can sing this beautiful song virtual, but do we virtually live it?

[@mxnolis]

I’m an atheist so that god bullshit is not it. I just appreciate such an epic song and powerful voices with such powerhouse vibrato. I love it

[@triciayoung5895]

I am praising and worshipping to this song on a daily. When I go into work and on the weekends. What strikes me is the fact that everyone is naturally praising. Not in their Sunday best! God doesn't need all that. He said "Come as you are." Thank you for being perfect examples of what that means.

[@junematthews8894]

Somebody in here sings opera, I’m hitting the American Idol golden buzzard for that 5th top row guy! He’s going straight to the FINALS!!!🎉

[@abimaelyisrael858]

Agree. He was loving it. That was too easy for him.

[@ticoguy05]

Yeesss! This was perfect.

[@j.allenmurdock7642]

There are a few opera singers in there. :). Top row fifth guy is actually not an opera singer, but an AMAZING singer and teacher. Professional opera singers.... Top row, #3; Second Row, #3, #5, #6; Third Row, #4; 5th Row, #2.

[@SevdalijaDamir]

I can't help noticing light beaming out of every face. Every person singing looks sincere and wonderful. It is exciting to see people get excited about worshiping the Lord through beautiful music. Many thanks for sharing this blessing.
