Chris Rupp has turned in a soul-stirring and moving a cappella cover performance of “I Will Rise.”

Life is an unpredictable series of events. One minute, you could be on top of the world, loving life while experiencing the highest of highs. Then, the next, you could find yourself in one of the darkest valleys, going through immense pain, hurt and grief. 

Anyone who says they can 100 percent predict what will happen from one moment to the next is either insane, a liar or probably a little bit of both. Life can be a rollercoaster ride, changing directions without a moment’s notice. It’s enough to wear and fray on the most sane, well-adjusted person’s nerves.

Thankfully, through everything that life may throw at us—all the ups and downs—we can have and experience peace. Christ offers peace, love and comfort during life’s many storms, promising never to leave nor forsake us. 

In the video above, Chris gives a fantastic a cappella cover performance of “I Will Rise,” a song by legendary Christian musician Chris Tomlin. The tune’s beautifully written lyrics emphasize that Jesus Christ has won the victory over death and the grave. He has won the ultimate victory. 

“Jesus has overcome

And the grave is overwhelmed

The victory is won

He is risen from the dead”

The lyrics add that when He calls us one day, we will rise and go to our heavenly home. It will be a place where there is no more sorrow, pain, hurt or grief. There will be no more tears shed when He calls us home.

What a wonderful and joyful thought! Heaven will be a wonderful place where we’ll be able to reunite with those loved ones who have gone on before us and finally see Jesus Christ Himself. 

Revelation 21:4 “And he will put an end to their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.”

Learning Bible verses never came easier than this! This setting of David's psalm, sung right from the Norwegian Bible in use at the time was often sung in Norway in the Jesus Movement. It tells who our "Ezer" is, our Mighty Help. The recording I chose actually goes faster, and is available on social media platforms I have done my best to stick as closely as I can to the rythm of the Norwegian, and also consulted the Hebrew text while translating.

Using just 4 voices, Chris recreates this classic hymn with a stunning and powerful a cappella rendition!

You can study every famous person in history, but you will not find anyone who compares to Jesus. Jesus is the Son of God and Son of Man. Seek Him and study Him. Jesus overcame the devil, sin, and death by being totally humble. His submission gave not only Him, but us, victory. Behold Him continually. You will never be the same. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. II Corinthians 3:18

On the evening before Good Friday in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus reached both the lowest and the highest points of His mission. He had been betrayed by one disciple, denied by another and abandoned by the rest. In the next few hours, He would face the prospect of an agonising death on a cross which He could have escaped because He had done nothing wrong but ... He accepted that this was the only way to save us and that it was in obedience to His Father's will that He would give up His life in this way.

In a world where chaos seems to reign, we look for a steadying hand to guide us and reassure us. The Bible is full of words of comfort that remind us of His power on our behalf. This song is based on a much-loved verse from Deuteronomy 33 which tells us that God Himself is our refuge and His everlasting arms will be under us and holding us through every situation that we face in life and in death. I hope it's an encouragement to you to trust Him!

Singer Joy Gardner turned in a beautiful performance of the hymn “Holy Ground” in a lyric video.

None of us could ever do anything to obtain forgiveness and earn salvation. If that were the case, there would be no hope for anyone, and all would be condemned to live out their days in their sin and shame. Eternal life would not be possible, so a disastrous fate would await all after their time on Earth expired.

But God made a way, sending His one and only Son to Earth. Jesus Christ willingly went to the cross, bleeding and then enduring a horrible and agonizing death. Days later, Christ would arise, roll the stone away and walk out of the grave. 

He went through all of that for our sake. He bled and died so that we might have forgiveness and experience eternal life with Him. Forgiveness, love and hope are gifts freely offered to all. All one must do is confess with their mouth and believe in their hearts that Jesus Christ is Lord.

What a wonderful, magnificent and holy God! 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Joy sings about God's awe-inspiring and holy nature. It’s a beautiful and moving performance of a wonderfully written tune, with lyrics celebrating and praising God and His son, Jesus Christ.

The song's chorus is beautiful.

“We are standing on holy ground

And I know that there are angels all around

Let us praise Jesus now

We are standing in His presence on holy ground”

In addition to singing about God’s awesome and mighty love, the lyrics state that if there is a need in your life, reach out for Him and it will be met.

Joy is not the only person who displays their musical talents in the video. At various points in the nearly five-minute video, the audience joins in on the performance, standing up and lending their voices to the lovely song. 

Acts 7:33 “And the Lord said, ‘Take off the shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy.”

watch and listen and you will feel the love and light given by god inside of you all
