A group of immensely talented individuals, the Hudson Harmony Band, turned in a lovely and awe-inspiring cover performance of the hymn “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” with a yodeling twist.

While every church is different, all have some form of a praise and worship portion. Churches and denominations may differ in their interpretation and take on certain sections and verses of Scripture, but all make joyful sounds to the Lord. Christians are to sing tunes of praise and worship to the Lord, as stated in Psalms 98. 

But churches can differ significantly even when singing and making a joyful sound to Him. Some churches sing strictly contemporary Christian songs, incorporating more modern, well-known songs. They completely leave out the hymns for whatever reason. However, others, a much smaller percentage, might sing only hymns. 

Hymns are beautifully written and constructed pieces of music. They often say so much by saying very little. In my opinion, hymns are vastly underutilized by most churches today. Most old, classic hymns are miles better than a good majority of the contemporary songs that most churches sing instead. 

One of those beloved hymns is “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.” The hymn is, of course, about learning to lean and rely on the power and faithfulness of Jesus Christ. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, the Hudson Harmony Band gives a powerful, moving and catchy performance of the timeless tune. With their cover, the musicians make this hymn their own, leaving their mark by adding a little heard but always appreciated form of singing: yodeling. 

This is such an impressive and enjoyable cover that you’ll almost assuredly want and need to listen to the Hudson Harmony Band’s performance of “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” repeatedly. 

This is one cover not to miss!

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

Country music star Travis Tritt gave a spirited and moving performance of “Mama Used to Pray for Me,” captivating the studio audience.

Prayer is the most essential activity for a follower of Jesus Christ. Yes, reading God’s Word and studying the Bible daily is needed to grow in knowledge and understanding of Him. It’s the only way to truly learn and familiarize oneself with God, His commands and His teachings. 

But prayer is the best and only way to communicate directly with God. Prayer allows Christians to tell the Creator of the universe their requests, thoughts, fears, hopes and complaints. Praying and talking to God will also build and grow your relationship. How else are you going to grow and develop a relationship without communication? 

Prayer is powerful, and that’s why it's so important to have a parent who prays and talks to God on your behalf. Those with a parent who constantly reaches out to God on their behalf can and will see their lives changed. God is faithful and answers prayer.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Travis sings about having a mother who prayed for him and the difference it made in his life.  Travis sings that in his younger days, when he was rebelling and going against God, his mother’s prayers saw him through and changed his life. 

Now, because his mother started a practice of praying for him as a young man, he does the same for his children. That is all because one woman was faithful and reached out to God for her child.

“So, each night, I’d get down on my knees

I’d close my eyes and bow my head and ask the good Lord, “Please

Watch over all my children; give them everything they need”

Like my mama used to pray for me”

What a beautiful song about the power of prayer.

Philippians 4:6 “Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.”

You don’t want to miss out on this precious video of some young people in a music camp, singing this Christian song. In this video, you’ll hear these kids sing a touching rendition of the uplifting song, “You are Loved.”

The popular Christian song “You are Loved” by Stars Go Dim is such an encouragement to many. At the start of this video, we see a variety of young people each singing different lines from the beautiful song. They are part of a group called The New Kids Camp. Each of the kids that are singing are of all different ages and all have very unique voices. During the verse they’re singing, we see glimpses of the soloists followed by the entire group for the chorus. It is incredible to witness the big smiles on each of the faces of the children, who are all from different races and walks of life. Seeing them all come together to sing about the love of Jesus is so moving. The kids are dancing and laughing together. Isn’t this such a beautiful picture of the large impact young people can make for Jesus Christ? 

During the bridge, we see clips of the kids at the camp using guitars, practicing with microphones, and enjoying being with one another. At the end of the video, we learn that this camp was created by a Christian Artist, Jamie Grace. She and her friends use this camp as a platform for young people to use their talents and glorify God. Kids can audition to join The New Kids choir and join the camp. This is such a fantastic opportunity for young creative children to explore their talents and grow together. It is truly inspiring to see Jamie Grace using her personal experience to empower the next generation, pointing them to Jesus through their creativity and music.

“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” Colossians 3:16

It is always wonderful to hear spectacular musical performances. Don’t miss Celtic Thunder in this moving “Hallelujah” performance lyric video.

This performance takes place in an immaculate theater. You can see the enthusiastic crown as the instruments begin to play. The lead singer starts his incredible vocal performance to the song “Hallelujah.” He is confident and has a wonderful vocal tone. This is a classic hit that transcends time. This song takes us back to the time of David and reminds us to praise the Lord. We see it in the Scriptures. It is always wonderful to see Biblically-based lyrics being sung on a global stage.

This Celtic Thunder vocalist has such a wonderful vibrato. He is incredibly easy to listen to and his voice causes you to want to hear more. A brief moment shows an audience member in tears over the beauty of this song. The second verse of this song discusses two different scenarios that happened in the family line of David. David and his son Solomon both fell into temptation. Even though they were great men of God, they had difficulties just like we do today.

The third verse of this song takes place and suddenly the other vocalists join in with their harmonies. The audience cheers loudly. The cameras zoom in on each individual singer as they all shine. “Hallelujah” has a simple and sweet melody line, but a power punch at the end. We are reminded while listening to this song, that our God is still worthy and is so good to be worshiped, even in the midst of our mistakes. He brings us back towards himself into repentance.

“In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.’” Matthew 3:1-2

Bluegrass may not be everybody’s cup of tea (or Kentucky bourbon), but Steve Martin’s catchy Bluegrass tune will have you tapping your feet! 

The Bluegrass region of the United States is located in Kentucky; however, Bluegrass music originated in Appalachia, which is made up of 13 states, including Kentucky. Bluegrass music originated in the 1940s, and Steve Martin did, too. 

Born in 1945, Steve Martin has been creating art for nearly 6 decades! The 78-year-old comedian, actor, writer, producer, and musician began writing for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the 1960s, and these days, he stars in the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building—renewed for a fourth season in October 2023—and plays super fun Bluegrass music. He’s one amazing talent!

Whether you are reminded of two crazy Czechoslovakians, a father of a bride, a sadistic dentist who is ultimately fed to a man-eating plant, or a big-nosed, sweet-talking Frenchman… There's a Steve Martin association for the vast majority of Americans over 30. Mr. Martin’s body of work is incredible!

Like all of his endeavors, Steve Martin’s music is very entertaining. The lyrics for “Bluegrass Radio,” performed by Steve and banjoist Alison Brown, are clever and, frankly, educational! Listeners will learn a lot about the Bluegrass radio stations around the country. And, did you know that Bluegrass creds result in good eating? “Number one in Texas” means Steve and Alison are enjoying breakfast and Chick-fil-A! 

If the words of the song are true, Steve Martin doesn’t read music and he does wear a toupée. Maybe, they are only partly true. 

What’s true is that Steve and Alison, along with musician friends Stuart Duncan, Sam Bush, Trey Hensley, and Todd Philips on the fiddle, mandolin, guitar, and bass, respectively are proud as punch about hitting #1!

Even so, according to The Bluegrass Situation, Steve said, “This little tune brings a ton of joy to me. Alison’s playing is flawless, and my singing is flaw-full.” Always the comedian!

“For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.” Psalm 149:4

Actor Dennis Quaid turned in a heartfelt performance of “Please Don’t Give Up on Me,” a song in which he pleads with the Lord to keep working on him and not discard him despite his many failures and shortcomings.

No human being is perfect; very far from it. Every single person on Earth has their flaws, imperfections and failures. Living a perfect life is not possible. The Bible even mentions this as being the case. The book of Romans states that “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

Because of mankind’s sinful state, God’s love and forgiveness are our only hope, our only chance at eternal life. Without that, we would be lost forever and for all of eternity. However, we will still stumble and fall even after accepting Christ and allowing Him into our hearts and lives. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Dennis sings a tune in which he begs God not to give up on him despite his repeated failures. The lyrics are beautiful because they perfectly capture humanity. We’ve all made our mistakes and screwed up, but it’s only for the grace of God that he continually forgives and loves us.

“Please don’t give up on me

Even though I stumble every day

I’m lost out here in the darkness, and I need you

Help me, hold my hand, show me the way”

As humans, we will never achieve perfection and will constantly fail to live up to the example Jesus Christ set in the New Testament. But if we ask and confess, God is faithful in forgiving our every sin and transgression. It’s an astounding and confounding love, a gift we could never earn or achieve. God’s love and forgiveness are freely offered to every person. 

Psalm 86:15 “But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.”

In a poignant and heartfelt collaboration, country music legends, Glen and Dolly, join forces to sing of "A Better Place" in a touching lyric video that tugs at the heartstrings of fans worldwide. The song, a reflection on Glen's battle with Alzheimer's disease, takes on new depth with the addition of Dolly's emotive vocals, creating a powerful tribute to love, loss, and hope.

“I've tried and I've failed Lord

I've won and I have lost

I've lived and I've loved, Lord

Some times, at such a cost”

Glen, who received his Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2011, used his music as a means of coming to terms with his illness. Six years later, the disease would ultimately claim his life, but not before he left behind a legacy of unforgettable songs and poignant reflections on life's journey. "A Better Place," co-written by Glen and Julian Raymond, stands as a testament to his courage and resilience in the face of adversity.

The lyrics of "A Better Place" speak to Glen's acceptance of his fate, approaching the inevitable end with gratitude and hope. Lines like "One thing I know / The world is good to me / A better place awaits, you'll see" encapsulate the bittersweet blend of melancholy and optimism that defines the song's message. With each syllable, Glen and Dolly capture the essence of love's enduring power to transcend even the darkest of times.

As viewers listen to his soulful voice and Dolly's stirring harmonies, they are transported to a place of reflection and remembrance, where the beauty of life's journey shines through even in its most challenging moments. In "A Better Place," Glen and Dolly have crafted a timeless tribute to the human spirit, a song that resonates deeply with listeners and serves as a beacon of hope for all who are facing their own trials and tribulations. As they sing of love's enduring promise and the hope of a better tomorrow, their voices remind us that even in our darkest hours, there is always light to be found.

Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

Roman Collins delivered several fabulous performances on American Idol, Season 22, including this stunning cover of James Brown’s “This is a Man’s World.” Check it out!

Originally from Natchitoches, Louisiana, 24-year-old Roman Collins received some advice when he initially auditioned for Katy, Luke, and Lionel. Ms. Perry said, “Roman, I'm gonna give you a little critique. I love it all. You are so great at the gospel gig but keep showing us different parts of you.” 

Roman received three “yeses” and went on to make it to the final twelve, but he was eliminated on April 22. During his stint on American Idol, he blessed audiences with his stirring performances and gave glory to God along the way.

If you happen to be only vaguely familiar with James Brown’s “This is a Man’s World,” you may have missed the “woman or a girl” part. You will definitely catch it with Roman’s rendition. There is so much to enjoy about this performance!

Dressed in orange and black, Roman’s performance is more spooky good than Halloween scary. The lighting adds drama, but Roman doesn’t rely on the staging to make an impact. His sound is soulful and varied—with riffs throughout and cackle-laughs when he mentions the ladies. He’s very expressive and energetic, wrapping up the performance with a few quick, high steps just before dropping to his knees at 1:20.    

Roman now lives in Long Beach, CA, and supports himself by working as a worship minister, musician, and car cleaner. He wears a cross tattoo on his right arm, a witness to his faith.    

During Roman’s April 15 performance on American Idol, he wowed judges with his performance of “Never Would’ve Made It.” Before singing, audiences saw a video during which Roman’s dad shared the terrifying medical event that occurred when Roman was only three. The toddler went into a diabetic coma, and doctors feared that if he ever woke, he may have brain damage. Roman did wake up, and he hasn’t stopped singing since!   

Following that performance, Judge Lionel Richie said, “Let the church say Amen,” and the audience responded in unison, “Amen!” He went on to assure Roman, adding “God has a plan for you.” 

Blake Shelton said, “It was one of the most powerful things I’ve ever seen on this show.”

Roman won’t be on the 2024 American Idol, but he certainly made his mark! And, he glorified God at each step along the way!

Way to go, Roman!

“I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving.” Psalm 69:30

Check out this chilling rendition from Will Moseley of the song ‘Night Moves’ by Bob Seger. What a great cover of this song! 

Bob Seger has a sound and a style all his own. And yet, Will Moseley’s vocals fit this classic song perfectly. This performance on the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame night on American Idol definitely got the attention of the judges and audience. And many people online also enjoyed the rendition, sharing how impressed they were with Will Moseley. His performance proved he’s got some serious musical talent.

“It’s just effortless for him. He looks like a pro already! Old soul, with a heart of gold!” comments one person online.

“The voice we didn’t know we needed but we all want more of it,” writes another person on YouTube after watching the video.

Even though Will sounds like he’s been performing for years, his love of music was only just recently discovered. This Georgia Southern University graduate just earned a degree in biology, and it has only been a few years since he developed his musical talent.

"I've been playing guitar for a little over three years. I started singing after that, it was something that developed kind of quickly,” Will Moseley shared. And he used this new talent of his to help put him through school. "I was playing in every restaurant, bar, private party, weddings… anywhere that would pay me to play, that's where I would go.”

You’d never realize this talented singer was new to the stage. Taking a Bob Seger classic and making it your own is no easy task. But Will Moseley did just that with his awesome rendition of ‘Night Moves.’ 

We hope you enjoyed this performance, and we can’t wait to see where Will Moseley goes next with his music!

Check out this stunning cover of Aerosmith's 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' from The Petersens. These heartfelt lyrics are so powerful and hit hard every time!

“I could stay awake just to hear you breathing, 

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away and dreaming.” 

What a beautiful rendition of this popular song! The Petersens shared in the caption of this video what inspired their cover of 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.'

“I saw a mom sing this song to her newborn baby online and have been singing it to Macy ever since,” writes Ellen, one of the members of the group. “I brought it to the band to see if it would be a good fit and Emmett arranged it into the sweetest lullaby. Enjoy this song made famous by Aerosmith.”

The lovely vocals, harmonies, and instruments take this rock song and transform it into a touching and heartfelt lullaby. And many people online think the same thing.

“This video perfectly expresses the tenderness and unconditional love of a mother. What a wonderful celebration of love!” comments one person on YouTube.

“Sorry Aerosmith, but The Petersens now own this song, and it has become the world’s most rocking lullaby,” writes another person online after listening to the song.

According to their YouTube page, The Petersens are an American roots music band based out of Branson, Missouri. The family band is made up of four siblings (Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne), their mom Karen, as well as their dear friend Emmett Franz.

We hope that you enjoyed watching this video of The Petersens performing the song 'I Don't Want To Miss A Thing' today! May it bless your day and help remind you to be present in the special moments each day brings.

Listen to this wonderful performance of the beloved hymn ‘I Hold A Clear Title To A Mansion’ from the group Goodman Revival.

“I’ve heard people talk about heaven

And tell of its beauty so rare.

So one day he gave me a title

To a mansion in that land so fair.”

What a great hymn that reminds us of our Heavenly home. The voices in Goodman Revival do such a lovely job of bringing the importance of this message to the forefront.

“Goosebumps for sure. Never will get too much of this song. Thank you,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the music video.

“Beautiful song with wonderful lyrics. Heaven is the real home,” writes another person online.

The people that make up the group Goodman Revival include Tanya Goodman Sykes, her husband, acclaimed producer Michael Sykes, and friend Johnny Minick, who is a gospel music veteran who performed for years with the Goodmans. The trio released their debut album titled Songs in the Key of Happy, where they revived Goodman classics such as ‘I Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now,’ ‘Until You’ve Known the Love of God,’ and ‘Who Am I.’ 

“There is trust between the three of us,” Tanya Goodman Sykes shares. “There is friendship. There is a wealth of shared experience. We all grew up in church 24-7, and this music has been a big part of all three of our lives. None of us planned this, but we're in a place in our lives where we walk through doors as they open.”

The hymn ‘I Hold A Clear Title To A Mansion’ is one that is sure to uplift and encourage, and we love how the Goodman Revival performed the song in this video. We hope that you enjoyed watching this beautiful performance, too.

Listen to Madison Curbelo on The Voice perform a stunning cover of ‘Landslide’ by Fleetwood Mac.

“I took my love, I took it down, 

I climbed a mountain and I turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills 

'Til the landslide brought me down”

What a fantastic performance by Madison Curbelo during The Voice Playoffs! Her voice is so lovely and smooth, and her rendition of ‘Landslide’ is just beautiful. Many people online thought the same thing.

“Although I'm rarely made happy by an artist taking liberty with any one of my favorite songs, this rendition of Stevie Nicks Landslide was amazing,” comments one person on YouTube. “I've no doubt Stevie too approved!  Love it! What a beautiful voice.”

“Best cover I've heard,” another person writes online. “The charm of the song was not lost, yet the twist that she added to the song just hits all the right spots. Plus the lovely voice just makes it more emotional and authentic. She floats throughout the song, with no pitch issues whatsoever. Hope she goes to the live rounds.”

Madison Curbelo’s story is one of a comeback. She is 21 years old now, but back when she was 18, the young singer auditioned for season 20 of The Voice. Back then, she did not get a judge to turn their chair around for her, and she was advised to go out and perform as much as possible to build up her confidence and stage presence.

Then on this season of The Voice, Madison Curbelo went on to get a four-chair turnaround during her blind audition. She apparently took the judges’ advice from the first time she auditioned and came back to season 25 to really make an impression!

What a talented singer. We can’t wait to see what comes next for Madison Curbelo! 

Check out this beautiful cover on American Idol from Mia Matthews of the song ‘Those Memories Of You.’ You can’t help but be mesmerized as Mia belts out the powerful lyrics, 

“Those memories of you still haunt me, 

Every night when I lay down

I'll always love you, little darling, 

Until the day they lay me down”

This country rock favorite was recorded by Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris in 1987, and it was part of their album titled Trio. Mia Matthews did a wonderful job covering ‘Those Memories Of You’ on American Idol during their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame night. Her performance wowed both the judges and the audience, alike.

Katy Perry praised the young singer saying, “Not to sound corny, but I think you found your roar! The way that you looked at the cameras, and looked straight in our eyes, you’ve got a lot less fear, and that’s what’s going to take you all the way to the top.”

Many people online also praised Mia’s performance of ‘Those Memories Of You.’ They had so much to say about the talented performer.

“She’s got a beautiful voice, and I love how she has control of her ranges in her vocals! Just a beautiful performance! The chills I got!” one person writes online after watching the video.

“Classic and classy country beauty! She’s always consistent and has such a great time bringing joy with her music,” another person comments online.

Check out this beautiful stripped-down rendition of Mat and Savanna Shaw’s song called ‘Be Here Now.’

“I wake up every morning and I'm thinking about tomorrow

I'm already worried about all the things I need to be

Will I ever fall in love? Will I regret the path I'm taking?

Will I disappoint my parents, or will they be proud of me?”

This personal song written by Mat and Savanna is just fantastic, and the way that their voices blend throughout the music sounds wonderful.

“This song is maybe the most real and raw look into our lives. Maybe all of our lives?” writes Mat and Savanna Shaw in the caption of their YouTube video. “When we wrote this song, we treated it like a journal entry. Our fears for the future, and regrets of the past. It’s so easy to get caught up in all of it. But if we’ve learned anything the last couple of years, it’s that we are the happiest when we focus on what we have right here, right now. Life can be messy and hard, but there is also so much beauty to be found. I’d rather ‘Be Here Now.’”

What an important message that deserves to be shared! This father-daughter duo does such a great job at using their musical gifts to share hope and spread joy.

“This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in a long while!” writes one person on YouTube after watching the video. “Thank you, Mat and Savanna, for adding more goodness to this world!”

“Savanna is a vocal superstar, but it really needs to be said that Mat is as well. Such a wonderful, rich tone and he has virtually perfect pitch,” comments another person online. “The two of you together create an absolutely beautiful vocal pair that completely complements the other.”

Mat and Savanna outdid themselves with this song, and we can’t wait to see what they share with the world next! We hope that you enjoyed this video of ‘Be Here Now’ from this talented father-daughter pair.

Psalm 150:4 "Praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with strings and pipe!"

A church youth group performed a fantastic and lovely cover of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.”

Hundreds of musicians have produced and released thousands of songs throughout the decades. Most of the tunes you’ll hear on the radio, Spotify or Apple Music are super catchy and may get stuck in your head for a while. However, like 95 percent of the songs produced, they are soon forgotten, never to be remembered or heard again. 

Only a few songs will ever be remembered years and decades after its initial release. That’s the true definition of a classic. Is a song still listened to, covered by other musicians and universally beloved decades after it first hit the radio? If the answer is yes, then you know that song is timeless.

One song that most certainly qualifies as a classic is Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.” In a clip posted on YouTube, a church youth group put their God-given musical abilities on display with a fun and delightful performance of “Sweet Caroline.”

No one misses a single note or chord throughout the four-minute clip. That’s made even more impressive, considering the video's text clearly shows that the kids learned the song in less than an hour!

You’ll likely find yourself singing along or tapping your foot a few seconds into the clip. 

Even people who aren’t fans of Neil Diamond know and love “Sweet Caroline.” How can you not love that song? It has one of the catchiest choruses of all time. Once you hear those memorable lyrics and iconic tune, it’ll be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.

“Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good, so good, so good

I’ve been inclined

To believe they never would”

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

A group of adorable and musically gifted children turned in a sweet and moving a cappella rendition of the beloved hymn “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus.”

Since sin first entered the world in the Garden of Eden, it has done nothing but cause damage and destruction. Sin has ruined lives, torn about relationships, ended marriages and brought about death and disease. 

Everything that sin touches is made infinitely worse. The evidence is right in front of us. This world is a lost and fallen place full of people who have willingly turned their backs on God. But even though we, as sinners, turned away from Him, He still loved us. He loved us enough to send His one and only Son, who died a horrible, agonizing and completely undeserving death on the cross.

He went through all of that for you and me. Because of Christ’s death and the blood shed on the cross, we have a chance and hope for salvation and eternal life with Him.

In a clip posted on YouTube, six children sing “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus,” the beloved hymn about Christ and the mighty and life-changing power of His blood. The blood of Christ can wash away sin and repair us to a right relationship with God. 

The hymn’s opening and memorable verse is simple yet powerful, moving and true.

“What can wash away my sin?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can me whole again?

 Nothing but the blood of Jesus”

These youngsters singing about Christ’s lifesaving and life-changing blood are part of the Cinereski Family. On the family’s YouTube channel are dozens more videos of them singing such beloved and timeless hymns like “Victory in Jesus,” “I’ll Fly Away,” and “What a Day That Will Be.”

1 John 1:9 “If we say openly 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.”

Musical legend Paul McCartney took the stage and joined one of the biggest bands of all time, The Eagles, and they dazzled fans with a stunning live “Let It Be” collaboration.

Over the decades, hundreds of artists have released thousands of songs. Some of those songs may have even reached the top of the chart. However, most of those songs will soon be forgotten, as will most of the musicians and acts responsible for them. 

Some musicians may even achieve a sustained, extended, successful career in the entertainment industry. But musicians rarely ever reach legendary status, where anything they do, sing or produce is celebrated by fans and critics alike. Their work will be remembered for decades, long after they are gone.

The Beatles and The Eagles are two legendary groups. Decades after their heyday, they are still celebrated and recognized for their work. Their work is beloved and is continually met with thunderous applause, with fans traveling hours to see and hear them in concert. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Paul McCartney, the former lead singer of The Beatles, took the stage at the Hollywood Bowl, where he joined The Eagles. While sitting at the piano, Paul tickles the ivories and sings “Let It Be” while The Eagles serve as his band.

Everyone in the theater sang the memorable lyrics, along with Paul.

“When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be

And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be”

It was simply an outstanding performance!

Even those who aren’t the biggest fans of The Beatles or The Eagles can still appreciate such a special moment and performance. That performance brought together some of the biggest names in the music world within the last 50 or 60 years.

According to Rolling Stone, Paul and The Eagles’ performance was part of a tribute concert to the late Jimmy Buffett.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;” 

Music teacher Taryn Charles earned herself a coveted Golden Buzzer for her absolutely stunning and awe-inspiring performance on Britain’s Got Talent, singing Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.”

Confidence and being sure of oneself and one's abilities can make a big difference in life. Someone may be blessed with God-given talent in a particular area, but that gift is rendered useless if they are too afraid of failure or to do anything with it. People will shy away from potential criticism and failure, robbing the world of their God-given gifts and abilities.

It's for that reason that kindness and encouragement are so important. Someone who is not totally confident in themselves may try or do something simply because of a kind, uplifting or encouraging word. As the Bible says, everything that comes out of our mouths should be used to build others up. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, an obviously nervous Taryn stepped out onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage and blew away the judges and the studio audience. Her performance was simply stunning as she sang one of Aretha Franklin’s timeless tracks.

Following her performance, everyone was on their feet, applauding the young music teacher. Even the four judges could not hide their astonishment at one they had just witnessed. Bruno responded, and rightly so, by slamming the Golden Buzzer and sending confetti falling to the floor. 

Taryn was overwhelmed with emotion as tears started to stream down her face. 

After all the confetti had landed on the ground, Taryn revealed some of what was likely causing her to be nervous and hesitant about performing for the show. Someone, at one time or another, had told her that she was not good enough and couldn’t sing.

Words are powerful. They can and do have a significant impact on others. We should choose our words carefully because we never know how what we say will affect someone else’s life.

Ephesians 4:29 “Let no evil talk come out of your mother, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.”
