The talented trio who make up Cypress Fyre delivered a beautiful a cappella cover of “Come All Ye Faithful.” This rendition of the beloved Christmas hymn is one that you will want to listen to and watch repeatedly during the Christmas season. Check out the video for the group’s stunning vocal performance.

Christmas is a wonderful time of year. It’s a season filled with friends, family, gift exchanges and delicious, mouth-watering food. What other time of year could compete with all that? Those who believe another time of year is better than Christmas are simply mistaken, a conclusion that would find wholehearted agreement with many.

In addition to spending time with friends and family and eating delectable meals and treats, Christmas has yet another thing going for it. There are a plethora of songs about Christmas, many of which are near and dear to the hearts of many for a variety of reasons.

One tune likely to occupy a special place in the hearts of many is “All Come All Ye Faithful.” Cypress Fyre, which consists of Chris Rupp, Tyler Walls, and Jeff Grider, turned in a stunningly beautiful a cappella rendition of the timeless hymn. Using only the strength of their voices, the three gentlemen delight and dazzle as they sing about the Savior’s birth.

“O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!
Come, and behold Him, born the King of angels!”

Yes, the song may be hundreds of years old, and you’ve likely heard it thousands of times, but it’s one tune that will never get old and tired. Christ, born to a virgin in a lowly manger surrounded by barnyard animals, was and is the greatest gift ever given. No other present will ever be able to top God sending His son to Earth to save man from their sins. That is something that will always be worth singing about, no matter the song. 

Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Get ready to be spiritually encouraged by this worshipful video. Dan Herner begins to sing this moving hymn written many years ago about a poor young girl who passed away from illness and who had never missed Sunday school. Watch his stunning a cappella cover of ‘When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder.’

The song is full of real emotion from when it was written, but also strength and confidence in our savior Jesus for providing eternal life to all who believe, even the youngest of children. The chorus sings out:

‘When the roll is called up yonder,

When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.’

Dan starts out singing in four-part harmony with himself, as seen in multiple video clips placed together. He is very talented and has such a natural blend. The song is hopeful and a reminder that the role called in heaven will include the names of every follower of Jesus. We can have great confidence that Jesus’ work was enough for our personal sins. He tells us that our names are written in the book of life. 

As you listen to the words of this song, may it motivate you to examine your own salvation. If you have placed faith in Jesus, you can thank Him for your name written in His book of life If you have never accepted Jesus personally, may this song lead you into a moment of repentance and accepting His gift of salvation on the cross. He is so glorious and we are secure in Him.

“And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.” Revelation 20:12

Four incredibly gifted vocalists turned in a stunningly beautiful a cappella cover of 'Amazing Grace.' 'Amazing Grace' is without a doubt the most beloved, well-known hymn of all time, and this rendition is absolutely outstanding. You’ll want to watch and listen to this clip repeatedly.

Hymns are some of the most beautiful pieces of music. Unfortunately, they are also some of the most underutilized, with many places of worship moving away from them. Despite being hundreds of years old in some cases, they are still as relevant today as they were when they were first penned. Those tunes remain powerful, still moving people to tears even if they’ve heard a particular hymn hundreds of times.

Even if people and churches were to abandon hymns completely (I hope that never happens), one hymn would remain. 'Amazing Grace' is a universally beloved, thoroughly covered and played hymn, often bringing many people to tears before its first verse is over. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, four singers show off their immense musical talent with a stunning cover of 'Amazing Grace.' All four individuals sing with so much emotion, perfectly capturing the power and meaning of those lyrics. It’s a lovely and dazzling performance.

'Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now am found

Was blind, but now I see'

'Amazing Grace' remains so popular and is still a popular target for the cover treatment because of its powerful and impactful lyrics. Those words accurately describe a situation in which all followers of Christ have found themselves at one time or another. We’re all the beneficiaries of God’s amazing grace. We were all lost at one time or another, but because of His love and mercy, we’ve been forgiven.

Ephesians 2:8 “Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God.”

 

In under two minutes, this adorable 3-year-old steals the hearts of many with his precious performance of ‘Amazing Grace.’ Karolina Protsenko, born October 3, 2008 in Ukraine, has become a familiar face to many, particularly to those living in the Santa Monica, California area. Karolina has been busking there since 2017; the family moved to the United States in 2015.

Karolina’s primary instrument is the violin, and she is brilliant! However, during a recent street performance, Karolina’s 3-year-old brother asked to sing with her. His request was one of the most beloved hymns of all time. Karolina obliged and provided the piano accompaniment for his cover of ‘Amazing Grace.’ 

The little man, dressed in a flannel shirt, carpenter pants, and boots, hopped up onto the stool. Notice the yellow band in his hair; it matches Karolina’s bright yellow satin dress and younger brother Leo’s costume—Belle and Beast.

Karolina’s parents are musicians, and her two younger brothers are musically inclined as well. Here, Nicholas is the star, but we think his singing may very well have touched those on the street and watching online with a message beyond his incredible cutest!

Little girls are fascinated by the performers, lingering nearby with a sense of awe. But it isn’t just

the children who are transfixed. Many record Nicholas, and many others simply listen and enjoy his single chorus and verse. Precious little boy! Precious grace!

Our Heavenly Father can use anyone of any age to send a message for His kingdom. There are nearly 450 comments on the YouTube video, which has been viewed 720,000 times!

Among those many praises regarding Nicholas and Karolina’s talent, character, and charm, here are two that speak to the spiritual impact of their public, musical declaration. 

User @carlvaz wrote, “Amazing! What a preacher! I am sure this little one has already converted a few hearts and minds!”

“So very sweet and heart touching. ‘Amazing Grace’ is truly amazing when one comes to know it, just as a child we come to know Jesus Christ in our hearts. This is so beautiful and special,” commented @freddykagin. 

Well done, Nicholas!

“Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!” Psalms 147:1 

Few songs resonate with such clarity and conviction as the dazzling rendition of In ‘Christ Alone’ by Phil Webb and the Grace Community Church congregation. As they lift their voices in this beloved hymn, we are drawn into a beautiful moment of worship. The church’s rendition of Hymn 177 speaks to our hearts, reminding us of the unwavering truth that in Christ alone, we find our hope, strength, and purpose. Whether you’re familiar with this hymn or hearing it for the first time, the harmonious unity of the choir, Phil’s voice, and the congregation created a beautiful version of this song. 

Listening to Phil Webb and the Grace Community Church congregation sing ‘In Christ Alone’ is an experience that resonates deeply in your soul. This beautiful performance gives us a chance to reflect on where we find strength and security. In a world brimming with shifting sands, we’re reminded there is only One who is an anchor to our souls. That’s what I love most about this beautiful song, the reminder our hope is in Jesus. 

‘In Christ alone, my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm’

As the choir lifts up their voices in the song, the line ‘My hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song,’ calls us to shift our focus from the chaos surrounding us to the unwavering love and support that comes from Him. The harmony of the Grace Community Church reminds us that when we place our trust in Christ, we find peace that surpasses all understanding. 

This dazzling performance serves us a chance to consider where we turn when we’re faced with trials and challenges in life. As you listen to the thunderous choir, take a moment to let the message wash over you. Let this video be a prayer for your life, asking God to help you deepen your trust in Him. Share it with a friend who needs encouragement and to be uplifted. 

Hebrews 10:23  "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."

Country music superstar Alan Jackson sang the beloved hymn “Softly and Tenderly,” giving a moving live performance. Alan again proves why he has experienced such a long and storied career. He is immensely blessed and talented. This is a clip that you’ll want to watch repeatedly.

None of us deserve Christ’s love, forgiveness, mercy or grace. We’re all sinners who, in our disobedience and arrogance, turned away from Him. But because of His great and mighty love, once we repent of those sins, we’re forgiven, and in His eyes, it’s as if those sins never occurred.

But before we repented and turned back to Christ, He constantly reached out to us, hoping that we would see the error of our ways. He wants nothing more than for the lost sheep to return to the Shepherd. He does not want to see anyone perish and be lost for all eternity.

However, even when the Lord is reaching out and prodding us to return home, it is not forceful or a compulsion. We still have free will and must decide to either seek forgiveness or continue in a life of sin. Still, that does not mean Christ will ever stop calling or searching for those lost sheep.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Alan sings the hymn “Softly and Tenderly” about how Christ is constantly, yet gently calling for sinners to repent. Those words, while they may be familiar to most, are still as powerful and meaningful as ever.

“Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling

Calling for you and for me

See on the portals, He’s waiting and watching

Watching for you and me”

We are not and will never be worthy of such love and forgiveness freely offered to all who call upon His name. He calls, softly and tenderly, for sinners and lost souls to repent and return home.

1 John 1:9 “If we say only that we have done wrong, he is upright and true to his word, giving us forgiveness of sins and making us clean from all evil.”

You don’t want to miss this moving moment of worship. In this video there is a powerful and inspired cover of ‘The Solid Rock’ hymn. We get a glimpse of a service with Phil Webb at Grace Community Church. People of all ages are joined together and celebrating the strength of our Savior, who holds us in the midst of uncertainty. In a sinful world, we are reminded that Jesus is the Rock that we can and should stand on. 

Phil conducts and sings in worshipful praise. He is convicted, joyful, and motivating as a leader. The background vocalists and the stunning orchestra and band accompany him with their instruments. It is truly a moment where we are invited in to sing this timeless hymn. You cannot help but feel uplifted and be reminded of this rich Biblical truth of our strong and unchanging Savior.

We hear the chorus as they sing out:

‘On Christ the solid rock I stand

All other ground is sinking sand’

As we see this beautiful congregation of believers in Jesus declaring His name, it encourages us at home to join in on the song. May we be motivated to lean on Him no matter what the storms are in this life. As we listen to the beautiful melody and hear the instrumentation performed by this excellent band, may our souls rest in the assurance of what we are singing.

Phil and the band all wrap up the song with a stunning ending. It is powerful, and the audience is truly the choir that Phil is directing as they all are praising the Lord together for His glory.

“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”  Matthew 7:24

The incredibly talented James Kilbane, an Irish country and gospel singer, captivates with his stunning cover of the beloved Christmas tune “O Holy Night.”

Christmas is a beautiful time. Most would agree that it is the best period of the entire year. Friends and family members get together and typically enjoy a delicious, delectable meal and even exchange a few gifts while celebrating Jesus Christ's birth. What could be better than that?

In addition to the many parties, dinners and gifts, the Christmas season has plenty of songs themed around the time of year. Hundreds, likely thousands, of versions of the most beloved Christmas tunes exist. Of course, you can likely name a handful of Christmas songs right off the top of your head. “Away in a Manger," "Joy to the World" and "Silent Night" are just a few of them.

Another Christmastime favorite, rightfully heard year after year, is “O Holy Night.” In the above clip, James covers the beloved hymn, which celebrates and retells the events on the night that Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior, entered the world. Most are incredibly familiar with that specific hymn, but that familiarity does not lessen the lyrics' meaning and impact.

“O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining

It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth

Long lay the world in sin and error pining

“Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth”

James’s vocal performance is dazzling and awe-inspiring as he displays his immense God-given musical talents with the Christmas cover. At different points throughout the clip, if one were not watching the video and simply listening to it, one might believe they were listening to Elvis Presley’s version of “O Holy Night.” There are some definite similarities between Presley’s and James’s voice.

Isaiah 9:6 “For to unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
