In a recent YouTube video, soul singer Stephen McWhirter delivers an incredible soul-stirring ‘It Is Well with My Soul’ performance. Stephen really praises from his soul, just as the song lyrics say. Watch the clip to hear the wonderful song of praise. 

Stephens’ performance is clear and lovely, accompanied by simple piano notes. As Stephen sits and sings with his eyes closed, it’s apparent that he really means what he’s singing and puts his all into his performance for God. Some of the words he blissfully belts out are: 

My sin oh the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul

Stephen said, “It Is Well is one of those timeless hymns that will always feel authentic to sing to Jesus. It captures the power of His peace, joy and comfort in the midst of hard seasons of life. I want to be so close to Jesus that in times of tragedy, I will still mean it when I sing, ‘It Is Well with my soul…’”

Stephen knows the meaning of this song well. It’s a song that was written out of the great personal tragedy of Horatio Spafford, who lost all four of his daughters at sea. Though he was in deep mourning, God’s presence gave him comfort. When you listen to this song, be comforted knowing that God sees you in your despair, whatever it may be, and he will lend you his peace if you seek him for it. 

“These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16: 33

This 4-year-old’s powerful ‘Hallelujah! He Has Won the Victory’ will touch your heart and make you smile. The little guy belts every verse, and it sounds so adorable and sweet. Watch the video to hear it. 

In the video posted on YouTube, 4-year-old Shine sits with his parents and two younger siblings as he sings ‘Hallelujah! He Has Won the Victory.’ His voice is loud and strong, and he lifts his small hand as he sings the meaningful lyrics. He doesn’t hold anything back. His dad plays the piano as Shine sings, and about halfway through the song, his mom and dad join in and sing with him. Then, the song shifts from a solo act to an infectious, spirit-filled moment of worship. It’s a beautiful family performance and a sweet reminder that music and faith can unite parents and children. 

Some of the lyrics they sing are: 

Death could not hold you down
You are the risen king
Seated in majesty
You are the risen king

Seeing a small child so focused on praise and worship is wonderful. It’s clear that he has a talent for singing and isn’t afraid to sing with everything he has in him. At a mere 4 years old, the boy displays an inspiring passion for worship that’s more common to see in adults. His voice carries the weight of the song’s message about Christ’s resurrection with boldness and sincerity. There’s just something touching about a child proclaiming these powerful and Biblical truths. What a great reminder that worship can transcend any age!

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4

"Hosanna to the Risen Lord" is a song praising God for Jesus rising from the dead. While he gave his life as a living sacrifice for the sins of the world, God raised Jesus from the dead. Praise the Lord!

There’s something holy in the Garms Family’s heartfelt ‘Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus’ that feels less like a soft whisper to your soul on a weary day. David and Kris, alongside their six children, carry this music like a gentle hand held steady through life’s storms. Since 2008, their family has traveled countless miles, cradling tired hearts with “Nights of Encouragement,” a living room turned sanctuary, and a road that folds into home wherever they go.

What I love most about their music is that it’s about their real, honest love of Jesus with their voices woven together with grace, humility, and the kind of faith that blooms in the cracks of hard seasons. Their rendition is breathed out like a prayer, a balm for the worn, the hopeful, the searching.

How did they get their start in performing? Well, these once quiet hymns sung around their Minnesota kitchen table grew into something unexpected. When a promoter finally asked, “Do you sing?” They whispered yes, stepping onto a path paved by God’s gentle invitation. None of their children had formal lessons, but each picked up instruments and songs from a place deeper than technique—a place of longing and love.

When life shifted—when David lost his job in 2010—the Garms didn’t falter. They leaned into the promise of God’s faithfulness and said yes to the call of full-time ministry. Now, their music travels across states and hearts, stitching together stories of grace with fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and voices tender as prayer.

If your heart feels heavy today, pause for a moment with the Garms Family’s rendition of this favorite hymn. Let their song lift your eyes, steady your soul, and remind you that He is near—always near.

“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross…” Hebrews 12:2
