1 John 4:20

Alongside the violin accompaniment of Anastasia Petryshak, Italian opera singer, Andrea Bocelli, is proud to release his fifth single, a cover of ‘Ave Maria,’ for his newly released album, ‘Believe.’ Andrea Bocelli has performed before with his children. A performance with his son, Matteo, went viral when they sang ‘Fall on Me’ together. This time, Andrea’s video features his 8-year-old daughter, Virginia. The video opens with a sweeping shot of Italy as Virginia Bocelli leads her father, who has been blind since he was a child, across the courtyard and into a cathedral. Andrea reverently prays and runs his fingers across the beautiful cathedral as he soaks in its beauty. Then, he beautifully sings ‘Ave Maria,’ and it takes your breath away. Originally composed in April of 1825 by famous Austrian composer, Frank Schubert, ‘Ave Maria’ has stood the test of time for religious art, being one of the most famous Christian songs for centuries since its release. Although the original song was composed in German, the phrase ‘Ave Maria’ is actually the Latin name for the prayer ‘Hail Mary.’ Translated into English, the lyrics are as followed: Ave Maria! maiden mild! Listen to a maiden's prayer! Thou canst hear though from the wild; Thou canst save amid despair. Inspired by both the spiritual journey of his adult life, as well as the powerful memories of playing religious music on the organ for rural churchgoers in his youth, Bocelli composed this inspired arrangement of ‘Ave Maria’ in March of 2020. In a statement on his musical career, Bocelli shared, “I don’t consider myself to be a composer, however, I am a musician, and sometimes melodies come to my mind, with essentially complete harmonies... Music that knocks on the door of my soul and which I gladly welcome and then set free by putting pen to Paper.” Not only does this video transport you to another part of the world in a time when travel isn’t possible, his soulful voice also lifts your spirit. “And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” Luke 1:35

He was one of a kind. A rare breed of people indeed. Do you recall this nostalgic first appearance of Mister Rogers on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson? Whether you grew up watching Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on TV or you’re a new fan after seeing the recent hit movie about him, you probably know Fred Rogers as a remarkable and kind man. Fred Rogers by many accounts embodied the same type of love that Christ advocated for in the Bible. “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” John 13:35 More than seventeen years have gone by since Fred’s passing, and even more time since his appearance on The Tonight Show. The video opens with a parody done on the show about Mister. Rogers. In the video, instead of Mister. Rogers we get Mr. Codgers, a man with humorously sweaty armpits and smelly feet. Mr. Codgers gives the same love Mister Rogers does, but with a bunch of comically mishappenings too. Once the sketch ended Fred was welcomed to his seat to talk with legendary late night host, Johnny Carson. Unsurprisingly, Fred was not offended by that particular parody of his work. Johnny asked if Fred’s friends thought the parody was too harsh, and Fred replied that most of his friends like fun, just like everyone else. The two went on to talk about Fred’s background in television working behind the scenes of several hit NBC TV shows. Fred then shared that he left NBC to work for the first public television station in Pittsburgh. His friends at NBC told him he was crazy to leave an established station for one that hadn’t even aired its first show yet. Fred said he believed he was led to take the new job. This video is a touching reminder of Fred Rogers and his impact on us all, but especially children. He once said, “This is what I give. I give an expression of care every day to each child, to help him realize that he is unique… I feel that if we in public television can only make it clear that feelings are mentionable and manageable, we will have done a great service for mental health.” Thank God for people like Mr. Fred Rogers, and thank God that we have videos such as this to remind us of the impact he once had. History serves as a keen reminder of the people that once walked this Earth and the great messages they left behind. No wonder we continue to read about the acts of Adam, Joseph, Job, and Jesus. The legacy we leave behind matters, not just to our children, but all generations to follow.

The A Cappella group, Voctave brings us a cover of the Disney song, ‘Someday,’ that is truly inspiring! Perhaps, just perhaps, the music from the Hunchback of Notre Dame can teach us something. The song, ‘Someday’ as performed by Voctave is really moving. And you won’t believe the sound! Voctave always amazes with their vocal prowess. Listening to their amazing balance and pitch as they take us back to our childhoods with the iconic movie of the Hunchback and be reminded that someday life will be better. Someday when there isn’t so much hurt, injustice, or need. With their amazing vocals ranging soft to powerful between all eleven members, this beautiful song starts out with vocalist Ashley Espinoza who is then joined by Kate Lott. Soon the rest of the team joins in on the chorus with lyrics that are so powerful and so needed in a time such as this. Someday. Life will be fairer. Need will be rarer. Greed will not pay. Godspeed This bright millennium on its way. Let it come someday And just when you think it can’t get it any better, their musical talents create such a beautiful melody with Tiffany Coburn, Ashley Espinoza, Sarah Whittemore, Chrystal Johnson, E. J. Cardona, Drew Ochoa, Jamey Ray, Kurt von Schmittou, Aaron Stratton, and Karl Hudson. Captioned underneath their video, “In times like these it's important to remember there is hope for a brighter future. We wish this video would fill you with that hope.” And we couldn’t agree more. Hope is such a gift in 2020. Who knew a song made for Disney would apply to these trying times? One viewer wrote, “I wished, a few days ago, you all could release a new song to help everyone’s troubled, struggling hearts. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” While another viewer commented, “Jamey, you never disappoint with your classic arrangements. The sopranos hit just the right notes with the others singing a stunning supportive sound. I hope you come back to Jacksonville park again,"Someday" soon.” Get ready to be filled with hope and to be inspired that things will indeed get better because God says he came so we could have life and live it abundantly. Even in times like these. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” Romans 15:13

Husband and wife duo Brackin and Lindsay Kirkland worship the Lord with ‘Be Still My Soul’ performed in a silo. As you hear these lyrics, be filled with love and admiration for our God. “Be still my soul the Lord is on thy side Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain Leave to thy God to order and provide” Brackin and Lindsay Kirkland make up the talented singing duo, Sounds Like Reign. For years, they have been using their God-given talent to give praise to His Name with hymns such as ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘It Is Well With My Soul.’ Today, they are standing in a silo and belting out the beautiful words of ‘Be Still My Soul.’ “In every change He faithful will remain Be still my soul thy best, thy heavenly friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end” This classic hymn is the perfect reminder that God is always in control. Even when the world around us may seem so rough, God’s constant love and support remains. He will guide us through each and every day with His never-ending grace and peace. We are so blessed to serve such a loving Father in Heaven and these words are the perfect way to give praise to His Name. Who else is singing along and shouting amen? James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

Hebrews 12:14

Listen to this incredible cover by the RESOUND trio of ‘The Prayer’ from Andrea Bocelli. “I pray you'll be our eyes and watch us where we go And help us to be wise in times when we don't know Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace, give us faith so we’ll be safe” All we can say is wow! All of the voices in this video are absolutely incredible! And they all sound so amazing when they blend them together in those perfect harmonies. And it is so cool to hear them switching from English to Italian with the lyrics. What a marvelous rendition of this beautiful song. We cannot get enough of it! The group performing in this video is called RESOUND, and they are a three-member group based out of Richmond, Virginia. According to their YouTube page, “they believe their gift has been given only to them from God. They want to touch lives with their music and ministry. Resound has made accomplishments such as Background Vocalists for Troy Sneed's Latest Project with Top Gospel Billboard Chart Single "Lay it Down" and Local Artist in the Richmond, VA area. They have also ministered on stage and/or sung background for artists such as Tye Tribbet, Johnathan Nelson, Byron Cage, Kurt Carr, Vernon Gordon, and many more. They are humble individuals who are learning and growing in God.” “What an amazing God to blend these voices together!” writes one person on YouTube after watching this video. “The harmonies absolutely give me goosebumps. Just heavenly. Y'all took me there.” “My goodness, I’m just so, so thankful to be able to listen to your beautiful voices, giving glory to our Father! Amen and amen,” comments another person online.

Listen to this beautiful rendition of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ performed by a university choir. It is stunning! “Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne. And surely you’ll buy your pint cup, and surely I’ll buy mine! And we’ll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne. For auld lang syne” The singers in this video are the Choral Scholars of University College Dublin, and they are Ireland’s leading collegiate choral ensemble. Their version of Auld Lang Syne is available on their new holiday album titled Be All Merry. What an incredible performance this is! They all have such amazing voices, and their harmonies are so beautiful. Together, they all sound like a choir of angels. “There’s something so timeless and comforting about your music,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video. “Kudos and much love to you!” “Incredible layering of harmonies, accents, and love the natural reverb of the room. Keep up the great performances!” writes another person online. In addition to blessing us with their stunning voices, the Choral Scholars of University College Dublin share a little bit of history about the song ‘Auld Lang Syne’ on their YouTube page. “For decades, on these islands, the passage from the old to the new year at midnight has been celebrated by singing Robert Burns’ poem. This was first printed in 1788 although the author himself acknowledged that its origins lie in an earlier Scots-language ballad printed in 1711 by James Wilson. In this graceful arrangement, we hear the standard English version of the text set to a traditional Scottish melody,” reads the caption of this video. “Sopranos and altos predominate in the four verses, sometimes in unison and, at times, underpinned by a Scottish- sounding drone. In contrast, the chorus is richly sung by the full complement of voices.” We hope that you enjoyed listening to this beautiful version of this treasured song.

The a cappella sensations of Pentatonix bring the chills with a performance of Chris Tomlin’s ‘Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).’ This talented group formed in 2011, but they truly shot to fame after winning the third season of the television show ‘The Sing Off.’ Since that moment, Pentatonix has become a household name with viral performances such as ‘Mary Did You Know’ and ‘Hallelujah.’ On YouTube alone, Pentatonix has garnered over 4 billion views on their videos. Today, they are visiting The Kelly Clarkson Show for a beautiful rendition of ‘Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).’ “Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found T'was blind but now I see” Christian artist Chris Tomlin originally wrote this song for his 2006 album ‘See The Morning.’ It was even nominated for a Dove Award for "Song of the Year" at the 39th GMA Dove Awards. The powerful words remind us all that we are saved by His love and grace. Now, Pentatonix is putting their own unique spin on this tune and it’s truly an anointed performance. “My chains are gone I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy reigns Unending love, amazing grace” Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

Singer-songwriter David Archuleta reminds us to look to the brighter days ahead with ‘What A Wonderful Way To End A Crazy Year.’ As we finish out 2020, these heartfelt lyrics are the perfect way to find the good all around us. “I know it's been a crazy year, uncertainties and fears What a time to be living Nothing's really gone our way Had a share of stressful days but here we are living” We first met David Archuleta when he rose to fame as a contestant on the seventh season of American Idol. David was just 16 years old when he placed second in the competition. Since that time, he’s continued to entertain with popular songs such as ‘Crush’ and covers of ‘The Prayer’ and ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me.’ Today, he’s helping us ring in the new year with his latest single, ‘What A Wonderful Way To End A Crazy Year.’ “There's a record of Nat King Cole on repeat And memories decorating our tree Being here with you What a wonderful way to end a crazy year” On Instagram, David wrote his thoughts on the meaningful tune. “2020 has been an unpredictable year, but I hope you're able to end this crazy year with some loved ones over the holidays.” Many of us have faced difficult times in 2020, but let us remember that there is so much happiness and joy all around us. God is in control and He will see us through as we enter into a new year.
