So Mark Lowry wrote the song. That long note: He was SITTING. When sitting 1/2 your lung space is compressed by your guts. Oh, yeah, he has Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Don't even get me started on Voctave. Their ability is insane. Great reaction.

Jamey Ray is the founder and genius arranger for Voctave. All of these guys are distinguished solo singers in their own right and as you know as someone who has sung in choirs that that ability as well as the ability to blend can be two quite different talents. Also, Jamey writes the part for these exact singers not just in general, add to this perfect attacks, perfect releases, total dynamic and vibrato control, finally they sound like this LIVE not just in the studio -- it's scary. I almost gave up singing at all after first hearing Voctave, but after a while it has just become a challenge to try to live up to the super-high standard that they set. Thanks for your reactions. /RayK

How were you rambling? Everything you said was about the song which was the object of your reaction. You were point on, on every each facet of the song you covered. I enjoyed your reaction.

I think I said that because I don’t actually know what I say till editing time 🤦🏽♀️ I’m usually just talking passionately. But it’s m so glad I made sense to you. Also I’m happy you enjoyed my reaction. This group shocked me and made me instantly a fan!

And THAT is how you perform a song with the writer of the song! Mark is sitting down because his MS doesn't let him stand for that long; he wrote the lyrics and his friend and co-singer with the Gaithers, Buddy Greene wrote the music. Mark held that one note for 18 seconds. The high soprano is Kate Lott.

That’s crazy. Me and him have the same thing, MS I mean. Makes me appreciate the visuals even more. There held note were marveled at by me ❤️

Love love love your reaction! And THANK YOU for not pausing! I’ve watched this dozens of times since first hearing it a couple weeks ago. I think I’ve cried each time. Voctave...amazing! Mark Lowry...I knew he was a good singer but WOW!!!

You're talking about staggered breathing. Very good technique is required for choirs to do this well. Voctave are smoother than water itself! Kate Lott (1st soprano) definitely does have chops. Chops for days, weeks, years, pandemics.. you name it lol. Please do more reactions to them. They are out of this world (which seems a great place to be at the moment 😩) love from the UK x

Mark Lowry is the writer of this song. He is also the one who held the longer notes. Groups like a Voctave can hide those notes by switching off to another person singing the same note, but Mark held that note for well over 20 seconds. That’s insane. The word was LAMB, it the phrase started a few words prior which were all in the same breath.

Several years after Mark penned this as a poem, he sent it to several others to put it to music. Buddy Green, an excellent harmonica player, put it to music in this beautiful minor key. Kudos to all involved in this collaboration and video!

Michael English, who was in the Gaither Vocal Band with Mark Lowry, is the 1st one to record it in 1991. Mark did not sing it for a long time, because of the vocal range. So glad he is singing it now.
