A group of musically gifted high school students displayed their tremendous talents while singing about the power and magnitude of God.
Christians serve a wonderful and loving God. He sent His one and only son to die a painful and undeserving death on behalf of mankind. Christ’s spilled blood on the cross covers all sin and shame, blotting it out as if it never existed. What an enormous and world-changing show of grace, mercy and power!
An awe-inspiring video posted on YouTube shows students from Fountainview Academy, a Christian high school in Canada, belting out the lyrics to “Behold Our God.”
As one young man sings the tune’s first verse, he perfectly puts the power of God into perspective. God’s strength, power and capability are hard to grasp with the human mind. The human mind is limited, but God’s power knows no restriction.
“Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice”
A young woman next walks into the frame and beautifully sings the song’s second verse. During this verse, the camera reveals other high school students playing various instruments.
At around the 1:45-minute mark of the clip, dozens of students join in, singing out the lyrics about God’s almighty and mind-blowing power as they walk through an idyllic forest. The gifted students blend their voices together, hitting all the right notes.
In addition to the students’ breathtaking musical performances, the video is also a sight to be seen. The short, 4-and-a-half-minute clip is wonderfully shot and edited together. Throughout the video, there are wide sweeping shots of the stunning scenery. The masterful camera work helps to enhance the song’s lyrics by showing the beauty of God’s creation.
Fountainview Academy is an educational institution for high school students in Columbia, Canada. It’s a place where “each staff member is personally committed to the eternal success of every student,” according to its YouTube channel.
Joshua 1:9 “Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
This is such a fun video to be a fly on the wall of one of the most beautiful concert settings in the USA. Check out this live performance of Mac Powell - Don’t Stop.
Just the start of this video gets anyone pumped up. Mac Powell is an incredible motivator and performer. His band gets everyone excited about what they are singing about. So often, we hear songs that are somber in the faith. It is wonderful to show those emotions, however, God also tells us to make a joyful sound. This song is definitely a joyful sound. Mac Powell decides to play a throwback song from a different “Mac,” the band Fleetwood Mac. The chorus sings.
“Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone”
The band sings and plays in front of beautiful red rocks. They are all interacting together and with the audience, and it is a blast. Mac tells everyone to give it up for the electric guitarist, who then plays a solo, and it is incredible. Afterward, they clap and get the crowd to sing along with them acapella for a spectacular moment.
As the camera zooms out, you see the masses of people gathered to worship our great God. It is motivating that Jesus came for us and already won. We do not have to give up or stay down, because we share in that victory. The amazing setting of the Rocky Mountains with the Christian rock band gets us pumped up in our faith. We can celebrate and join in with Mac and his band as if we were there in person worshiping too.
