Ella and Karolina Protsenko perform a mother-daughter duet to Dolly Parton’s 1974 hit, ‘I Will Always Love You.’
Dolly’s song has been a number-one classic hit when it comes to love. Originally written as a parting gift to her partner, Portner Wagner, her lyrics remind us all of what it means to be loved, seen, heard, and cherished. And Whitney Houston famously sang the song, which was featured in her 1992 film with Kevin Costner, The Body Guard.
But Ella and Karolina bring a whole new meaning to the song as they perform the song as a mother and daughter.
Their performance brought tears to my eyes. As a mother of two daughters, the bond and relationship with each of my girls is so incredibly special and unique. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for my girls.
And no matter what mistakes they make or the arguments we have–I will always love them. Even when there are days when I am exasperated over missing shirts or shoes they borrowed, hosting sparkly pink tea parties, or when I am comforting them over broken hearts–I will always, truly, and deeply thank God with gratitude for their wild-spirited hearts.
Watching Ella and Karolina perform this song reminds me of just that! It is truly amazing to watch this pair perform. There is something truly incredible about the relationship between a mother and her daughter, and Karolina and Ella certainly have a special bond. Their performance of this song has amassed more than 365,600 views and over 992 comments about how beautiful their voices are.
Today, the pair put a whole new meaning to the classic love song ‘I Will Always Love You.’ It is definitely a must-see!
I hope their performance reminds you of just how special and remarkable love is–not to mention the joys (and even tribulations) of having daughters are.
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it,” Proverbs 22:6.
Are you ready to calm your anxious mind and focus on how amazing our creator God is? You’ll love the performance of ‘Like A River Glorious’ by Sounds Like Reign, who began making ‘Songs for the weary pilgrims on planet Earth.’
Their biography states, “Sounds Like Reign is a "sonic exploration of faith in God" featuring sweeping soundscapes and passionate lyrics. This original music has been composed to inspire the wandering mind to focus on our Creator and walk in the light of His son Yeshua (Jesus).” How intriguing and inspiring does that sound?
In the ‘About Us’ section of their YouTube, they share that Sounds Like Reign was created by composer Brackin Kirland. He is a sound engineer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist.
He also adds he has “...been saved by the grace of God and is compelled to draw others to Christ through personal story-telling and biblical narratives set to captivating music.” Lindsay is a wife and mother who loves ‘a simple, grounded aesthetic to the music.’
Together they have created a beautiful performance you don’t want to miss of the song, ‘Like A River Glorious.’ Their unique and simple style ushers in feelings of peace in the presence of God. I love how artists like Sounds Like Reign use their talents and calling to spread the joy, love, and peace of Jesus Christ. What a beautiful way to glorify God! Their performance is going viral with over 123,783!
I have a feeling it will be played millions of times. You can’t help but hum along!
Stayed upon Christ Jesus, Hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, Perfect peace and rest.
Can I get an amen? We hope you enjoyed this beautiful performance, and it blessed your spirit today.
“For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me,” Psalms 63:6-7.
Check out this beautiful performance by a choir dressed in all white of the beloved Christmas song ‘Oh Holy Night.’
“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
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks, a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices, O night divine
O night when Christ was born, O night divine, O night, O night divine”
What a fantastic music video of ‘Oh Holy Night’ from this talented a cappella group. The women singing in this video are from Noteworthy, one of BYU’s top a cappella ensembles.
“Wonderful arrangement!” one person writes on YouTube after watching the video. “The wooden angels, wardrobe, beautiful vocalists. Just about perfect. Thank you for your ministry of music.”
“This is my favorite Christmas song and this is, hands down, the very best rendition ever. You gals moved me very deeply. Bless you and your God given talent. Your parents must be extremely proud,” comments another person online.
According to their YouTube page, Noteworthy is comprised of nine powerhouse female vocalists and have a varied repertoire including pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, and spiritual genres – something for everyone! “In 2007, Noteworthy was crowned champion of the prestigious International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA), becoming only the 2nd all-female ensemble to win the competition in its near 35-year history. Noteworthy has since appeared on NBC’s hit show The Sing-Off, released 7 albums, and become a YouTube sensation with over 70 million views and counting. Above all, Noteworthy strives to empower women & young people to discover their own unique identities & divine nature through the power of vocal music.”
We hope that you enjoyed listening to Noteworthy’s wonderful rendition of ‘Oh Holy Night’ today!
Check out this beautiful cover of the song ‘Thank God’ performed by Lauryn Evans, Everly Fair, and Michael Warren.
“I was lost, you found a way to bring me back, needed forgiveness, you always gave me that
Girl, I’m a witness of your love ’cause you don’t be giving up, and it’s crazy, how you saved me
Hand on the Bible, don’t know how I got you, but I couldn’t ask for more
Girl, what we got’s worth thanking God for, so thank God”
In the music video, the three talented musicians are performing ‘Thank God’ in what appears to be an abandoned greenhouse. Lauryn Evans and Everly Fair are both singing and wearing yellow, and Michael Warren is singing and playing the guitar. All three of them are so talented and sound wonderful together!
The song ‘Thank God’ was originally by Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn. Each of them have expressed their thankfulness to God for bringing them into each other’s lives. "I keep telling everybody she's my secret weapon," Kane Brown shared. "But this song is just like us, you know? I feel like it's any relationship song, or anybody that's married or going to get married, that just knows it's like, 'God put you in my life for a reason.'"
The lyrics in ‘Thank God’ talk about getting to “wake up by your side and thank God” and having “your hand fits perfectly in mine and thank God.” What a sweet way to honor your marriage by writing a love song about your relationship!
We hope that you enjoyed listening to Lauryn Evans, Everly Fair, and Michael Warren’s rendition of ‘Thank God’ today! May it remind you of your loved one and how blessed you are to have them in your life.
Check out this beautiful Christmas song called ‘Hosanna Noel’ performed by Mat & Savannah Shaw and the talented Rise Up Children's Choir. Their performance is just heavenly!
“When I think of Christmastime, several memories come to mind
Like mistletoe and stockings on the wall, gathering with family and decorating evergreens
But something I remember most of all are the stories by the fireplace
About the baby full of grace, born inside a lowly manger stall
‘Tis the season, and the reason for it all”
What a wonderful performance full of so many talented singers and beautiful music and lyrics!
“Rise Up Children’s Choir, with special guests Mat and Savanna Shaw and guitarist Tom Hall, are thrilled to introduce and share this original new Christmas song by Carson Trautman that celebrates the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ,” reads the caption of the YouTube video.
The video starts out with Savannah Shaw singing and then her father, Mat, joins in during the second verse. And the amazing vocals from the Rise Up Children’s Choir round out the lovely song.
“It was such an honor being able to sing on this incredible new original song!” writes Mat and Savannah Shaw in the comments section of this YouTube video. “Thank you so much. The choir is world class! We love you all!”
Listening to ‘Hosanna Noel’ and seeing all of these talented singers use their gifts to bring glory to God just warms my heart. We hope that you enjoyed listening to this song as well and it was able to uplift you this Christmas season!

Listen to this great Christmas song called ‘Emmanuel God With Us’ by Chris Tomlin and featuring Anne Wilson.
“Go tell it on the mountain, the one that we’ve been waiting for, the king of our salvation
Born on this day our savior Christ the Lord, go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere, that we can be forgiven, the weight of all our sin
He came to bear, Emmanuel, God with us, Emmanuel, King Jesus
The Savior of the world is born, Emmanuel, God with us
Emmanuel, King Jesus, the Savior of the world is born”
What a beautiful song that is a great reminder of the incredible gift we were given in Jesus – the Savior of the world.
“This song is all about the earth-shattering announcement of Emmanuel … the birth of our savior … God with us,” Chris Tomlin shared. “The song just started with ‘Go Tell It On The Mountain’ just sung in a different way. That then led us into this whole idea of this song of what Christmas really is. Obviously it’s the announcement of Jesus but also the announcement to the world, to continue sharing that what Jesus came to do.”
Anne Wilson shared her feelings about the song and what it meant to her to work with Chris Tomlin for the recording. “I am so honored to be a part of this song. ‘Emmanuel God With Us’ is a beautiful reminder of the powerful king we have the honor of serving,” said Anne. “The beauty in the manger and our savior and Lord. Chris Tomlin has always been a huge influence in my life, so it is truly such a joy to be featured on this song. I pray you experience the peace and joy that only Jesus can bring you through ‘Emmanuel.’ ”

“It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old,

The perfect Christmas gifts under the tree this year all come from Amy Grant’s ‘Grown-up Christmas list. She sings the longings in our hearts.
“So here's my lifelong wish. My grown-up Christmas list. Not for myself, but for a world in need.No more lives torn apart. Then wars would never start. And time would heal all hearts. And every one would have a friend and right would always win, and love would never end.”
Can you imagine waking up to a Christmas where love has won the world over? The news would be filled with inspiring and heartwarming stories instead of wars, the pandemic, and senseless tragedies. Families would be together and children would grow up without anxiety and fear. Wouldn’t it be truly miraculous? Almost like heaven on earth. We can all take something from Amy’s song and put it into action. While we may not be able to create world peace, we can show the love of Jesus by being his hands and feet when the opportunity comes in our own lives. Maybe it’s volunteering at a soup kitchen, inviting lonely neighbors to dinner, or showing kindness to a stranger.
As children, we thought the best things in life were wrapped in shiny boxes topped with a perfect red bow. Now that we’re grown up, we know it’s things like peace, hope, and love. It’s special moments like being surrounded by friends and family. It’s having our health and a strong relationship with Jesus too. Those are the best gifts that don’t come perfectly wrapped.
May this Christmas be filled with love, joy, and peace. May we all take Amy’s words to heart and find a way to spread the love of Jesus this Christmas season.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law,” Galatians 5:22-23.
You are a ‘thanks giver’? I imagine after listening to ‘Thanks Giver’ by Crowder, you will wholeheartedly agree that you are! You’ll want to add this beautiful song about God, love, and gratitude to your playlist for the Christmas season or maybe add it to your playlist to play year around. Believe it. It’s that great of a song.
“You make joy out of simple and ordinary things.
You fill life up with stories I'd never think to dream
So this holiday, I wanna praise the One who's making a saint out of this sinner.
The One who's turned me into this thanks giver.”
The Crowder band is consists of David Crowder, who is a Texas-based singer and songwriter. His faith-based music is well known for its unique mix of pop, folk, rock, and electric bluegrass. Who knew you could take distinct and different styles of music and mix these different sounds into one song?
It’s one of the many reasons Crowder has won numerous music awards! What makes Crowder’s music so unique is how he got his career started in the first place. When he was attending college, he realized very few of his friends were attending church on a regular basis. He felt drawn to begin writing music that would appeal to his peer group.
The passion he has for telling others about the love of Jesus hasn’t changed. It’s still more evident than ever, especially in this song, ‘Thanks Giver.’ In this festive video, the band is surrounded by piles of snow and trees. David’s voice draws you in, and the lyrics hit your heart about how much we have to be thankful for.
No doubt, by the time the chorus line hits, you’ll be humming right along. We hope this video brighted your day and helped you find more reasons to give thanks to our good Lord.
“The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing,” Zephaniah 3:17.
