Check out this talented Trio as they sing their stunning rendition of Merle Haggard’s classic ‘Mama Tried.’ 

High Carbon Steel hails from Roane County, Tennessee, but they are quickly making a name for themselves all over Eastern Tennessee, Kentucky, and beyond. In the video, drummer Nathan Carter, Cory Marshall, and Nathan’s brother, Dawson, stand from left to right. Cory’s brother, Dylan, occasionally joins the band. 

Here, the guys sing about every mother’s nightmare—trying to raise an upstanding young man who seems bent on making poor choices. While the tune is peppy, the words are discouraging. In spite of the message, though, the performance is sure to make you smile.     

Cory sings lead, sounding like a veteran country-music artist already, and Dawson delivers a delightful guitar solo at 1:05. Comfortable in a clearing in the woods, the band wears cowboy hats, denims, and button-up shirts; they look every bit the part of a young Haggard or Cash. However, while “Mama Tried,” released in 1968, is about the real life of Merle Haggard and his arrest and imprisonment in 1957, these young performers seem to be on an entirely different course.

According to their biographies, the band members are skilled tradesmen while making music during their off hours. In addition to recording and performing amazing country-music covers, the group is now writing their own music and are inspired by artists in genres in addition to country, like pop, rock, blues, and soul. 

Commenters loved their performance of “Mama Tried,” saying things like:

“Don't need no fancy studio to record when you're good.”

“Wow. If these guys cannot make it in Nashville, Nashville is not about country music anymore.”

“Totally fantastic! Great singing harmonies plus killer instrumentation make for great entertainment. Thanks for sharing your talents.”

Make sure to watch until the end. There’s a little treat that provides a taste of High Carbon Steel’s authenticity and personality! 

Let’s hope we see a lot more of these promising young musicians!

“Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good.” Psalms 25:7

The incredibly talented Gardiner brothers wowed with a fantastic and stunning dance routine to NSYNC's classic "Bye Bye Bye."

Despite what some may argue, boy bands do not produce great or even good music. Their songs contain the most generic, corny lyrics which are then sung over the most generic beats. Sure, it may be catchy, but that's about it.

However, boy bands are something we are unable to do away with. Every decade has its share of boy bands. In the 1960s and 1970s, it was The Jackson 5 and The Osmonds. The 1980s gave us New Kids on The Block, Menudo and New Edition. The 90s, as far as boy bands were concerned, belonged to NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys.

In a clip posted on social media, Mike and Matthew Gardiner strut their stuff to one of NSYNC's biggest hits, "Bye Bye Bye." The five-time world champion Irish dancers are always impressive, showing off their fancy footwork, and that is certainly the case here.

Mike and Matthew move and groove, perfectly doing the moves first performed by the popular boy band in their video for the song. Neither misses a step throughout the entire clip. Both guys stay completely and entirely in sync (pun intended).

Of course, in addition to the moves first performed by NSYNC, Mike and Matthew also throw in their own moves, tapping and clicking the ground with their feet. They are true masters and experts of their craft, and it's always a joy to watch them perform one of their routines.

However, unlike their other videos, it's unclear where exactly they are performing. Typically, the guys dance in front of national or even popular world landmarks. That does not appear to be the case in this clip. But that does not diminish their delightful dance routine in the slightest.

Psalm 149:3 "Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music."

Three talented siblings turned in a soul-stirring and breathtaking cover of the beloved classic tune "Unchained Melody."

Hundreds of musicians release thousands of songs every year. Most of those tunes will forever go unheard by much of the population. Some songs will be heard on the radio, Spotify, Apple Music or another streaming platform.

But even the small number of songs listened to are quickly forgotten. Give it a few months or even a year, and you'll start to question if you've ever even heard a song that was at the top of the charts a few short months ago. Of course, the point is that tastes and preferences, especially when it comes to music, quickly change.

But a small, tiny handful of songs do go on to become classics. They are still remembered and beloved even decades after their initial release date. Those classic tracks may even spawn hundreds of covers, with other musicians singing those tunes and giving their spin on them.

One song that is most certainly a classic is "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers. 

Over the years, nearly every musician imaginable, including Elvis Presley, has covered that song. Well, the talented sibling trio Life in 3D is now among those who have covered that song.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the two-brother-and-sister group shows off their angelic voices with their heavenly rendition of the classic song. They again demonstrate how the Lord has blessed all three of them with abundant musical talent.

This is a cover that you will want to listen to repeatedly. It is really that good! They do the song more than justice, as they beautifully sing those iconic lyrics.

These young people have continually shown that they have a future in music if they decide to pursue that career field. Who wouldn't want to hear more from these immensely gifted young people?

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."

In the world of music, some performances leave you breathless, and then some make you believe in something greater. Vocal Confluence Choir’s beautiful a cappella cover of Disney’s ‘Moana’ of ‘How Far I'll Go’ was one such performance—a dazzling display of how God’s gifts can come alive in ways that resonate deeply with our hearts.

Imagine a stage bathed in soft light, the hush of anticipation hanging in the air. As the choir begins to sing, it feels like the whole room is enveloped in a warm embrace. Each voice, though unique, melds together in perfect harmony, creating a sound that’s both intricate and incredibly moving. It’s as if God’s hand guided their voices, weaving a musical tapestry that transcends the ordinary.

Their performance was more than just a technical showcase—it was a living, breathing testament to divine inspiration. You could see it in the way they moved across the stage. Each step and gesture perfectly synchronized with the melody, an extension of their passion and a visual expression of the song’s heartfelt message.

The true magic of the night, though, lay in the way their voices spoke to the audience. It wasn’t just about hitting the right notes or harmonizing flawlessly. It was about connecting on a deeper level, sharing an experience that felt personal and universal. Their rendition of the song was a reminder that God’s gifts aren’t just for the stage—they’re for touching hearts, inspiring dreams, and bringing people together.

As the final notes faded into the night, the room erupted in applause, proof of the impact of their performance. It wasn’t just about celebrating their talent but about recognizing the incredible way in which their gifts, guided by something greater, had touched everyone present.

Vocal Confluence’s performance was a beautiful reminder of how God’s gifts can shine through us, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. It’s a celebration of the divine spark within each of us, a spark that, when nurtured and shared, can light up the world.

Psalm 150:6 “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!”

Get ready to enjoy this fun performance. Young trio wows with fantastic and fun ‘Clearly’ performance on America’s Got Talent. 

The classic song ‘Clearly’ is completely redone. It is so creative and inventive. The song begins with the young woman Biko Manna singing. Her two brothers support her with instruments and harmonies. Her little brother makes adorable comments throughout the performance during musical interludes, and the older brother leads on the guitar. When the kids get to the chorus, it is inspiring and fun. You cannot help but dance along with their performance. 

The trio also dances while they sing. They are very multitalented and appear to be enjoying themselves on stage. It takes a lot of courage to be on the big stage of AGT, and this young trio does it effortlessly. The crowd loves them, and they dance and cheer throughout the song. The harmonies that are added in are incredible and so beautiful to hear. These kids have style in every way. They have amazing outfits, voices, dance moves, and personalities.

Simon says they have something authentic about them, and they make people feel amazing. Howie shares that he could not stop smiling. They are called a triple threat. All of the judges comment on the happiness that these young people bring. It is truly contagious. 

This performance reminds us of the joys and celebration that we, as believers can have in Christ. There is no joy like the fruit of the Spirit that produces joy. May we ask for this kind of joy and seek a life of gratitude. Just like these young people draw others in with their lively performance, may our love for Jesus and others attract them to the freedom of the gospel.  

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Prepare to be in awe of this creative performance. This mesmerizing dance routine captivates and earns a golden buzzer on American’s Got Talent.

This is an incredible performance that starts in a dark room with four young people dressed like astronauts. They are in front of a changing blue background while they utilize bars to perform various positions as they dance. Some go upside down, others sideways, and some do the splits. One looks as if he is walking in slow motion upside down in front of the moon. The judges are in shock and excitement. 

The dancers then use a bar to do amazing footwork. They are all in unison, appearing in slow motion as if in outer space. The blue lights flash under them, the four of them make shapes out of their bodies, and the blue lights flash shapes around them. Then, some make shapes with their legs, and one proceeds to swing through them, all dancing together. 

The way that these dancers appear so slow motion with the lights in moments is unreal. It is so talented and precise. They have to have such great full-body strength. We see breakdancing with space themes around, climbing with interactions with the graphics of stars and planets; it is completely professional and stunning. This audition alone could be its own global show. The group goes by “Airfootworks.” The judges are utterly amazed by the audition. Simon decides to give the golden buzzer. He says that he is about to get himself fired. Howie takes over and decides that it is his golden buzzer. Both Simon and Howie give the golden buzzer because this performance is just so amazing.

God’s Word reminds us to do our best. This performance definitely gave their all.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24

Psalm 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever."

Two young women captivate with their moving and powerful “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” duet.

Hymns are beautiful pieces of music that are severely underutilized. Most places of worship have opted for contemporary Christian music, basically eliminating hymns from their Sunday morning services. That’s sad because hymns, while they may be hundreds of years old in some cases, are still as relevant today as when they were first written.

Hymns tell of Christ’s love, forgiveness, mercy, grace and faithfulness. Those ideas and concepts will never go out of style. They are why people gather weekly to praise and worship the Lord.

In a clip posted on YouTube, two young women beautifully perform one of those beloved classic hymns: “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.” Most people are undoubtedly familiar with this hymn, but that doesn’t make it any less meaningful and powerful.

The moving lyrics are what every Christian and follower of Christ should desire. Everyone who has confessed their sins, turned from their ways and accepted Christ as their Savior should want a closer relationship with the Lord.

“Just a closer walk with Thee

Grant it; Jesus is my plea

Daily walking close to Thee

Let it be, dear Lord, let it be”

As the Bible says, all are sinners and have fallen short of the glory of God. Everyone desperately needs the forgiveness of sin freely offered by Jesus Christ. Once one has been forgiven and cleansed from their sins, that person should strive daily to become closer to Him.

Of course, one develops a closer walk with Thee by consistently getting into and reading God’s Word. Also, the most critical aspect of a daily walk with the Lord is consistent and continual prayer. It’s hard to have a relationship with anyone without communication.

Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is the rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him.”

The classic and beloved hymn “When the Roll is Called Up Yonder” gets a beautiful instrumental cover.

Life can be challenging at times. Sadly, that’s simply a part of being a human and living on Earth. Trials, hardships and tribulations have a way of finding all of us at one time or another. No one will be able to escape life without enduring such times. Many of those dark valleys and storms will leave their mark, leaving you battered and bruised.

But whatever we experience in this life, God has promised to remain faithful, staying by our side. Sometimes, we’re pushed to the brink, and it feels like God has completely withdrawn from the situation. However, that is not the case because He has never let us down, and there is no reason to believe He will ever do so.

Whatever pain, hurt, struggle or heartache we endure on Earth will all be worth it when we make it to heaven. It will be a time for rejoicing and reuniting with loved ones who have gone on ahead of us. It will also be when we finally see our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In a clip posted on YouTube, an incredibly talented group of musicians performs a lovely instrumental version of “When the Roll is Called up Yonder.” Of course, this is a hymn many are familiar with, and it is about finally making it to our eternal home: heaven.

For those who may not be as familiar with the hymn, the lyrics appear at the bottom of the screen throughout the short, nearly two-and-a-half-minute video.

What a wonderful day that will be! Can you even imagine what heaven will be like? That’s almost too much of an overwhelming idea even to try to process. 

John 14:2 “In my Father’s house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?”

As the opening notes gently unfold, Jessie’s harp strings weave a delicate tapestry of sound, each note resonating with a purity that seems to transcend time and space.

In her cover, Jessie captures the essence of the original while infusing it with her touch of elegance. The intricate plucking of the strings creates a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that invites listeners to pause and reflect. The song’s themes of silence and reflection are beautifully articulated through Jessie’s artistry, as her harp breathes new life into the poignant words of the lyrics.

From intimate elopements to grand ceremonies at the famed Biltmore House, Jessie’s harp has graced a variety of events.Each performance is marked by her commitment to creating timeless, elegant music.

Her cover of ‘The Sound of Silence’ is a beautiful reflection of the power of music to transcend boundaries and touch the soul, reaffirming her belief that music is indeed a precious gift meant to be shared and cherished.

Dan and Amanda offer a profoundly moving experience in the comfort of their home as the couple’s lovely ‘Neither Do I Condemn Thee’ cover hits home.  With Amanda at the piano and Dan accompanying her on guitar, their rendition of this timeless hymn transforms it into a poignant celebration of grace and mercy.

Amanda’s piano gently introduces the hymn, its notes flowing with elegance and reverence. Her tender and emotive voice carries the message of the hymn with sincerity. Dan's guitar complements her performance with a warm, resonant accompaniment that enhances the emotional depth of their rendition.

The chorus of the hymn, a powerful expression of forgiveness, resonates deeply as they perform:

'Neither do I condemn thee,
Precious words divine!
Falling from lips of mercy,
Like the sweetest chime.’

As the chorus unfolds, the simplicity and beauty of their arrangement allow the words to resonate with clarity and warmth. It is clear that Dan and Amanda pour their hearts into their performance, their music serving as a conduit for the timeless message of forgiveness and renewal.

Their performance captures the essence of the hymn's message, with each note and lyric reflecting Jesus's boundless compassion. Amanda's delicate piano melodies and Dan's heartfelt guitar strumming create a harmonious backdrop for their voices, bringing the chorus to life in an intimate and uplifting way.

Dan and Amanda's cover of ‘Neither Do I Condemn Thee’ is more than a musical presentation; it is a heartfelt invitation into the grace that defines the hymn's core message. Through their skillful performance, they offer a moment of reflection and solace, reminding their audience of the profound mercy available to us all. Together, their performance beautifully showcases their musical chemistry. Amanda’s delicate piano melodies and Dan’s soulful guitar strumming combine seamlessly, creating a rich, harmonious sound. 

Their ability to blend their styles effortlessly enhances the emotional depth of the hymn. Each note and chord reflects their shared understanding of the song’s message, making their rendition both a captivating musical experience and a powerful expression of grace. Their connection and skill in playing together make their performance truly special.

Hebrews 8:12 "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."

Enjoy this fun and unique—yet not entirely different—version of Dolly Parton’s classic hit ‘9 to 5,’ a fantastic cover, compliments of Robyn Adele Anderson! 

Joined by five musicians, Robyn sings a jazzier, though not peppier, rendition of Dolly’s 1980 country pop song from the comedy movie of the same name. Here, there is less twang and more cool. The 40s wardrobe that Robyn wears, the jazz instruments, and the nightclub setting provide quite a contrast to the way we first saw ‘9 to 5’ performed.

Robyn commented on the post that the song reminded her of ‘Sweet Little Angel Eyes,’ which was featured in the movie Polly. A musical version of Pollyanna, Polly featured a predominantly Black cast and touched on segregation in the pre-civil rights era South. 

Robyn noted that, “The music in the movie has a mix of gospel, Motown, and blues, all of which share roots with a lot of country music! I essentially made my own little mashup incorporating elements of the music from Polly into ‘9 to 5’ - I think Dolly Parton would be proud!” 

Whatever influences Robyn drew upon, her variation is a delight!

Users applauded the performance, saying:

“It's great seeing you express your artistic creativity in the arrangements.”

“Once again, you assemble a very talented group of musicians and create a wonderful rendition of a song. Thank you for sharing.”

“A great cover of a working person’s theme song!  Having had the pleasure of working with the lady herself, I am positive she would love this cover of this iconic tune.”

While Robyn is singing about the daily drudge, she and her crew seem to barely break a sweat during the number; they make the music appear effortless. Commenters don’t just appreciate Robyn. Several mention the band members. Bass player Georgia Weber is a fan favorite. The saxophonist, Ben Golder-Novick, had a nice solo, and Jacob Melsha on the trombone is super chill!

Robyn gives a little wink at the end, which adds a final touch of flair to a performance filled with personality. Check out more of Robyn Adele Anderson at her YouTube channel, where music from bygone decades, as well as the garbs and getups from those time periods, can be found!

Prepare for a stunning and unique performance. Harpist delivers a breathtakingly beautiful cover of ‘Hallelujah.’ 

At the start of this video, a harpist begins confidently in front of a dark forest backdrop. She plays the harp with such skill and precision. You can hear her impeccable talent and skills revealed within each note that is strung. Her tone painting is thoughtful and peaceful. Listening to each verse tells the story of the song ‘Hallelujah’, and it leads to the chorus with elevated moments.

Each verse has its own creative flare. She plays in various octaves and keeps the listener intrigued with what she will do next. As she plays, the backdrop of the first begins to get brighter. Hearing her harp play this song gives us an audible representation of King David himself who played the harp. This peaceful and relaxing instrument is often a rarity today. You do not often meet a harpist. This special skill is admirable and enjoyable for many. 

The artist’s name is Naomi SV. She is a talented harpist. She appears to not even miss a single note. She is phenomenal and does a brilliant job playing at a high level and with such poise. She is the epitome of a wonderful harp player. 

The beginning of ‘Hallelujah’ lyrics in verse one says:

‘Now I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord’

Hearing ‘Hallelujah’ on the harp reminds us of the hallelujah that David gave to the Lord. He was a man described after God’s heart, who was for sure a sinner, but delighted in worshiping the Lord and knew where his help came from. May hearing this song on the harp remind us of how the Lord sees us too today and we matter to Him. May it inspire us to seek God with all of our hearts.

“And whenever the tormenting spirit from God troubled Saul, David would play the harp. Then Saul would feel better, and the tormenting spirit would go away.” 1 Samuel 16:23

Check out this absolutely stunning all around performance. Lauren Daigle’s dazzling cover of the classic, ‘You Are So Beautiful.’

Before Lauren opens her mouth, the strings perform the most incredible introduction. Lauren then starts to sing in her soulful style. She is sporting a fun multicolored top and pink pants. As she sings, various instruments are highlighted for their skills. You see the keyboardists play up and down with their chords. 

Lauren sings with a lot of self-controlled power. Although the beginning of the song is softer and more vulnerable, she clearly cares about the melody and performs professionally. She begins to take the song to the next level. Her runs are seamless, and she sings with such passion and authenticity.

Her voice is really well-suited for this song because of its rich, low notes and powerful build. She starts to hit the chorus and bridge with such a beautiful crescendo and even a lightness in pitch on the high notes. Her performance is effortless and easy to listen to. The electric guitar is stylish and funky at the end closing out the song. This cover reveals a different side to Lauren’s vocal abilities. It is almost pulled back from her usual belting and takes us to a place of restrained power. She is an absolutely fabulous performer and knows how to finesse any song. Check out her wonderful vocals and the top talent band supporting her in this video.

God invites us to put our heart and soul into our prayers to Him. He tells us to love Him with all that we are, He is so beautiful to us and we are invited to love Him and pour our hearts out to Him in prayer.

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37

Listening to a violin's beautiful sound never gets old. In this video, a 10-year-old violinist stuns the crowd with an impromptu classical duet with a pianist. 

In this video, a grown man who loves to play piano professionally at the airport is videoed with a little girl who walks up, asking to play with him. He asks curiously, “She wants to play Vivaldi?” He responds, “It’s very difficult.” The precious girl says that she can do it with a big smile. He agrees that they can try.

They begin to play together, and just at the start of the song, this little girl will wow you! Everyone stops in their tracks and videos and is in awe of her age and high-level skill. She is a true prodigy. Jaws drop in the crowd. The pianist keeps going on track, and the little girl keeps up for the entire song. She does her trills and plays with such precision and poise. 

Every moment is special and you want to know what she will do next alongside this adult, professionally trained, pianist who also shines in this video. So many people from the airport stop in awe and support this incredible performance. The young girl is more than gifted. She has skills that the Lord has given to her specifically that glorify Him. You will be in amazement and so happy that you took the time to watch this inspiring duet. 

As we see this video, we worship the Lord who is the Creator and gives good and perfect gifts. He is greater than this performance or the musicians, the Maker is so worthy of all the praise. May this video spur our hearts to worship Him.

“All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.” 1 Timothy 1:9

One of Stevie Wonder’s most beloved, classic songs, “I Just Called to Say I Love You,” has received a stunning a cappella makeover.

Musicians covering and performing the work of other musicians is a long-standing tradition and practice. It has likely been happening since humans first started making sounds and creating music, and it is sure to be something that every musician continues to do.

Every musician and band performs covers at some point in their career. Go to any concert, and you’re nearly guaranteed to hear those musicians cover someone else’s song at some point during the show. Who doesn’t want to hear someone else’s version and interpretation of a classic song? It probably won’t reach the level of the original, but as long as it’s not downright awful and butchers the original, no harm, no foul, right?

In a clip posted on YouTube, one large choir, SmorgasChorus, gave a new twist to Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called to Say I Love You.” You surely have not heard the song performed this way before. The only instrument used during the performance was the one given to the vocalists by the Lord: their voices.

Most people are incredibly familiar with Stevie’s original and can likely sing the tune’s catchy and iconic chorus entirely from memory. It’s a song that is beloved by many. So, the members of SmorgasChorus had a high mark to hit, which they reached and exceeded.

This happy, joyful and incredibly upbeat performance shows the power of the human voice. The many voices work perfectly together, creating a pleasant and beautiful sound. This is one a cappella cover that you are likely to return to repeatedly.

Not only do the guys turn in a fabulous vocal cover, but they also add some theatrics to their performance. Several choir members are seen pulling out their phones at various times throughout the clip. Of course, this is in keeping up with the lyrics of the classic tune.

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

Check out this stunning performance. Family delights with a lovely bluegrass cover of ‘In The Sweet By And By.’

The Campbell family starts out strong on their instruments. Each family member has a voice or an instrument. The mother holds the rhythm on the bass. Each child has their own unique gift. A precious young girl with glasses sings the verses as her mother and older sister join in on the choruses. They have beautiful voices.

This family has unity in their music making and are easy listening. It is delightful to watch this sweet group play from the comfort of their home. You see the closeness of this family when thinking about how much they have had to practice this together and the adorable memories hanging behind them on the home wall photo display.  

This classic hymn shares in the chorus:

‘In the sweet by and by,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore.’

The harmonies are creative, and the family ends the song with such flair and fun. You see a few of the group members show a smile after their performance. Seeing a family come together to worship the Lord is very motivating. It reminds us of our enjoyment when we worship the Lord in song with others, especially our loved ones. 

As we ponder the joys that await all believers of Jesus in heaven, may this song stir our affection for Christ. May it lead us to reflect on His goodness and the peaceful and perfect life that awaits us. We have His Spirit with us now, and although we do not see His face yet, we have Him in our hearts and can celebrate His nearness to us each day.

“I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High”. Psalm 9:2

Check out this adorable 2-year-old girl sing a sweet rendition of the song ‘Goodness of God.’ Her performance is one that will definitely pull at your heartstrings!

‘I love You, Lord, oh Your mercy never fails me

All my days, I've been held in Your hands

From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head

Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God’

What a wonderful version of this beautiful song! This is true worship in its purest form. What a precious child of God, singing out the truth in these lyrics. 

Elffy is the little toddler in this video, and it is fantastic to see her sing all of the words to this worship song. That is so impressive for someone of her age! Her performance reminds us of what Jesus said in Matthew 19:14 – “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Many people online were touched by Elffy’s performance and shared their thoughts.

“Ellfy, thank you for blessing me with your singing,” one person writes on YouTube. “May you come to know Jesus as your best friend, savior, and Lord.”

“My dear sweet child. God will be listening with a heart filled with deep love for you. You are adorable,” comments another person online. “God bless you and your parents who have brought you this far to love and praise the Lord with your beautiful voice.”

When it comes to the song ‘The Goodness of God,’ the way the song came to be is beautiful. Jenn Johnson of Bethel Music shared how the song came about during the adoption process of their son, Ryder.

“During the adoption process, I found myself driving on a long country road. I was just singing to the Lord when I recorded a song on my phone about the ‘faithfulness’ and ‘kindness of God.’ I wrote and sang most of ‘Goodness of God’ as an overflow of my heart at that moment,” she said.

This is one song that uplifts people when they hear it. It is a great reminder of how God runs after us to cover us with his goodness and mercy. We hope that this rendition of ‘Goodness of God’ was able to act as an encouragement for you today!
