I have the same musical talent....as the guy holding the card!

[charityspake]

My mom: those guys are all so good...are they brothers?
Me: 😑

[thisislydiarae]

What have I learned?
That worship music is timeless. I didn't even realize how old some of these songs were until I saw the date!

[Matthew-]

I love modern worship but I gotta say the old hymns hit different. 🙌🏻🙌🏻😭😭

[scoylephoto]

My brain: Wow that song is that old?
My brain: Wow, that song is that new?
My brain: Man, I haven't heard that one in a long time.
Thanks for the informative trip down memory lane!

[rachelpamorada]

This just proves that Christian music never goes old, it's timeless.

[shellztalo]

When you were a church kid and you can sing along to every song.

[Memejs]

I miss the older songs being sung in church. I loved singing in the choir and singing with a congregation that you could harmonize with and actually hear everyone singing. This was a blessing brother. Thank you

[brittanyg]

God saved me from a suicide attempt. Months later blessed me with a sweet baby boy that completely changed and saved my life from a self destructive and lethal addiction to drugs and alcohol ❤️

[titusthomas]

6th Century to 21st Century; still in all the songs the Saviour is same. He is an eternal God.

[pilotswife]

Anyone else feel like these songs are timeless?! Some of them don’t feel this old, and some are literally ancient, and feel new. Interesting... just like Jesus, and His love for us. Was, is, and is to come. From the beginning to the end. This is one of the best videos ever.

Sound changes but God’s message never changes.

[Moondragon]

I’m 15, but I personally prefer the old hymns. They just give out a different feeling than all of these new worship songs, as if the composers truly put their heart and soul into them

[MYKEDANGER]

"Who is in your church choir?"
"Well, it's just all of me."

[chaglagleuchrpeellooo]

You aren't singing the Gospel... the Gospel pours forth from you. What a voice God gave you.

[CandyflossCottonCandy]

CAN WE PLEASE APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT HE RECORDED 6 PARTS IN JUST ONE TAKE???!!! PLUS HE'S GOT 6 HOODIES :)

[TangerineJo]

He really saved my life.
He died for me.
He gave me eternal life.
Thanks God

[fluffypuppies]

I lost my daughter in august and have been in a really dark place. This video helped uplift me tonight when I was incredibly low. One of my best friends sent it. I knew them all and have missed the beautiful old ones. I only hear churches sing the new songs now. Thank you for helping me tonight.

That moment when you find out one of your favorite hymns is 1, 500 years old
