Prepare to be amazed as Andrea Bocelli and Loren Allred perform a stunning rendition of ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love.’
This iconic tune was originally recorded in 1961 for Elvis’ hit film ‘Blue Hawaii.’ It skyrocketed to the top of the charts and spurred countless covers from artists all around the world.
“Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Oh, shall I stay, would it be a sin
Oh, if I can't help falling in love with you?”
For decades, Andrea has been showcasing his incredible vocals with songs such as ‘The Prayer’ and ‘Time To Say Goodbye.’ After a 14-year hiatus from releasing an album, Andrea produced ‘Si’ in 2018.
Loren Allred is actually the singing voice behind Rebecca Ferguson's character of Jenny Lind in the film, The Greatest Showman. Loren’s rendition of ‘Never Enough’ became a worldwide phenomenon and capitulated Loren to international recognition.
Today, these two powerhouse vocalists are performing an incredible duet of ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love.’ Just listen as their voices combine perfectly with the lyrics of this classic song.
“Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you”
This is such a beautiful performance and I can only imagine the chills people received from hearing it live. I would love to hear another duet from this duo. Who else agrees?
Check out this video of the Cotton Pickin’ Kids singing their rendition of ‘Homecoming.’
“There'll be a homecoming some morning when Jesus calls us away
I'll see mother and daddy, Lord I am ready, for Heaven's homecoming day
Precious ones have gone on before, our Lord waits for no man
Salvation will gain us a ticket to see them and a place in God's final plan”

Check out the official music video for the song ‘How Can You Not’ from Leanna Crawford.
“I see the sun rise in the morning and a million stars at night, I hear the birds
They can’t stop singing, hallelujah, I see his goodness when I fall down
And his grace that picks me up, every day I can’t stop singing hallelujah
How can you not see God, in every little thing, in every little moment
How can you not feel loved, how can you not, how can you not
Cause He’s in the middle of every little thing and every little moment
How can you not see God, how can you not, how can you not”
What a wonderful song full of so much beauty and hope. The songwriters of ‘How Can You Not’ are Leanna Crawford, Jeff Sojka, and Jessie Early.
At the beginning of the music video, Leana Crawford included these words at the start before she started singing. “Growing up in the Northwest, I came to this spot often with my family. Every time I’m here, I’m reminded of God’s handiwork and His deep love for me.” Then she goes on to sing ‘How Can You Not’ in the picturesque setting.
Leanna also shared about how her dad inspired her to start writing this song. “My dad inspired this song. My parents were visiting me in Nashville and my dad had never seen fireflies before. One night as we were walking, the field next to us lit up with thousands of fireflies. My dad saw all those fireflies and said, 'How can you not see the Creator?' Everywhere I look, I see the hand of God, and I'm reminded that He cares for me deeply. I hope you feel that today too," she said.
We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘How Can You Not’ today and the song was able to leave you feeling encouraged.
Listen to this wonderful live performance from Cody Carnes of 'Too Good To Not Believe’ and ‘Our God Reigns.'
“I've lived stories that have proved Your faithfulness, I've seen miracles
My mind can't comprehend, and there is beauty in what I can't understand
Jesus, it's You, Jesus, it's You, I believe You're the wonder-working God
You're the wonder-working God, all the miracles I've seen, too good to not believe
You're the wonder-working God and You heal because You love
Oh, the miracles we'll see, You're too good to not believe, too good to not believe”
Cody Carnes is a songwriter and worship pastor, and he is also married to Kari Jobe. In 2017, he released his critically acclaimed debut studio album, The Darker the Night / The Brighter the Morning. His second studio album titled Run to the Father was released in 2020. Cody was also featured alongside his wife, Kari Jobe, on the popular worship song ‘The Blessing.’
The song ‘Too Good To Not Believe’ was written by Brandon Lake, Chris Davenport, Cody Carnes, and Josh Silverberg. Cody shares that it was inspired by “healing we have seen and healing we still want to see. We’ve seen cancer disappear. We’ve seen broken bodies healed. Don’t you tell me He can’t do it.”
Cody also shared a little more about the story behind the song in another interview. “I love in Revelation 19 when it talks about how the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy,” Cody says. “What I think that means is when you testify what Jesus has done and who He is, it prophecies that He can do it again. Because He is who He is. He’s the same, yesterday, today and forever. So that’s really what this song is. It’s meant to declare testimonies.”
We hope that you enjoyed this worship and it was able to encourage you today!
