Now this is the kind of Christian music I love. It brings me to my feet, dancing, singing and praising my Lord and Savior.

[gebbylaurentia]

I found this on 11 May 2024, gees this is so cool, God bless you all !❤

[katiegarcia]

Just discovering this! I danced to this song an ENDLESS amount of times in my room as a kid and knew every dance move and lyric by heart. What a JOY to watch y’all bring it to life again! Blessings to you all!

[groweachday]

Just found this in 2024 and loved it :)

[LilyBaek]

I broke up with my boyfriend today.
I'm healing while listening to this song while drinking wheat!
It was like watching a musical on the other side!
It reminds me of the students of the sisters Whoopi Goldberg!
I listened to and sang Sound of Music and Sister Actor OST in high school, and thank you so much!

I'm treating my heartache without tears when it's the hardest!
Thank you so much! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😘😘

Small and Big
White and black
Peace and Freedom
All should be our power to value our nature as God's creation

[naphangkawaringyeah]

Joyful, Joyful
Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light
Fill us with the light
Oh, fill us with the light of day
Joyful, Joyful
Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Drive it away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us
Fill us with the light of day
Light of day!
Joyful, Joyful
Lord we adore Thee
An' in my life
I put none before Thee
'Cause since I was a youngster
I came to know
That you was the only way to go
So I had to grow an' come to an understandin'
That I'm down with the King so now I'm demandin'
That you tell me who you down with, see
'Cause all I know is that I'm down with G-O-D
You down with G-O-D?
(Yeah, you know me)
You down with G-O-D?
(Yeah, you know me)
You down with G-O-D?
(Yeah, you know me)
Who's down with G-O-D?
(Everybody)
Come and join the chorus
The mighty, mighty chorus
Which the morning stars begun
The Father of love is reigning over us
Right away
What have you done for Him lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
What have you done for Him lately?
He watches over everything
So we sing
Joyful, Joyful
Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Drive it away
Giver of immortal gladness ( won't you)
Fill us ( Fill us with the light of day, Lord, fill us)
Fill us ( oh we need You, yes we do, fill us)
Fill us ( yeah, oh, oh yeah)
Fill us ( with the light of day, Lord)
( We need you, come right away,
We need you, need you today, we need you,
I'm here to say fill us, fill us, fill us, fill us)
Fill us with the light of day ( oh, yeah)
Light of day!

As a cancer survivor, I watch this video often and cry every time. You all express the gratitude to God that I feel. You are all extraordinarily talented. The harmony is magnificent.

[BoadiceanRevenge]

I'm now 66 and live in the UK! I remember the films so well. Love Whoopi and all the cast of both films, sadly some whom are no longer with us! But this was fantastic! Great video guys and gals. Thank you very much. Hope all is well with you. X🙋👍🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🙏

Live together in this world, praise God. What have you done for him lately is my favorite part.

Almost 3 decades later after the original you all did an amazing job remaking this legendary masterpiece I might shed a tear for nostalgia's sake
