Christafari - How Great Thou Art (Official Music Video) feat. Solomon Jabby (Part 2)

Help us bring the JOY and salvation of Christ to the hurting and lost throughout the world.

WHAT WERE WE THINKING WHEN WE MADE THIS VIDEO?
(About the video)

We had an absolute blast filming this video. It’s by far the craziest short that I’ve ever produced. While some may see it as one part Willy Wonka and one part Sgt. Pepper with a little Lee Scratch Perry and George Clinton thrown in for good measure, we were actually inspired by something totally different.

There is a guy who lives in a large van on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach not too far from our house. For years he’s been called a “Jesus freak.” And not in a good way. No church will accept him. His car is covered in colorful crosses and large neon letters that read “Jesus” and “Holy.” Every day he is a billboard for Christ as he paces the sidewalks wearing his captain’s hat and long flowing coat (regardless of the weather). He unsuccessfully tries to stop every single passerby, asking if he can read a Bible verse to them and pray for them. Most evade him or downright ignore him. While his methods might not appear to be the most effective, I believe his heart is in the right place and his goals are pure. To some he’s an embarrassment, but in a weird way, I’m inspired by him.

What if we were all this passionate and bold for Jesus? Let’s face it, when we first start following Christ we are on fire — so passionate about the Lord. But eventually our colorful flower of faith began to fade into what often becomes mundane and muted from its original form. But what if we kept this passion? What if we continued to fan the flame and never lost our zeal? What if we still shared our faith with the fervor we had when we were just saved? This is how I want to be. Though I may not paint neon crosses and “Jesus Saves” across my minivan, I will try and keep them on my mind and ever-present in my conversations.

While some may see this video as a psychedelic trip-out and wonder what we were on when we filmed it (nothing, of course), that is the furthest thing from our desire or initial intention while making it. This video was created to show the mind-blowing contrast between being lost and being found. The difference between being all alone, surrounded by death and destruction, and then being surrounded by the fellowship of others in the light of Christ. We’re showing the journey from the slow monotonous drudgery of existence to an exciting and empowered life bursting with energy!

It’s about going from muted colors in an almost sepia-toned world to living a vibrant and Technicolor faith!

Over all, it’s an allegory for salvation. For when you’ve found Christ, you will truly realize that all of those clichés that you’ve heard sung for years are so true: “I once was lost but now am found; was blind but now I see!”

Live your faith with zeal. Be bold, passionate and, yes, WILD for Christ. Don’t let the world tame your faith or mute your colors. Find that inner Jesus freak that you once were when you first found Christ and cry out to your loving Savior “Restore unto me the JOY of my salvation!”

I'm pretty sure I want to show this video to the 4-7 year old Sunday School class this weekend, so they can jump, jump and sing to the Lord, How Great Thou Art!

[NICOLETTA]

GOD is telling you today, "A new door is about to open for you. The challenges you face are coming to an end. You are about to receive an unexpected amount of opportunities and blessings. for you. Be patient. Trust my timing. It's about to happen •"

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art"

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

That video was filmed in Niland CA. I have been there before. Just 50 mins away from home. Lord I've never thought Christafari would be here... Praise The Lord...

[neoxedec]

This song makes me cry joyfully and dance foolishly to praise my God and Savior Jesus Christ... God bless you Christafari and all borthers and sisters listening to this song

[Cl.roleta]

Incrivel como Jesus Cristo sempre transforma por onde passa, sempre fui taxado como maconheiro por amar reggae, realmente eu fumava rs, mas não aceitava essa discriminação com o gênero musical, reggae é um estilo que trás paz e leveza pra alma, estou convertido a quase 2 anos pra glória de Deus, e hoje conheci esse ministério abençoado, que veio pra quebrar o preconceito, já tô compartilhando o vídeo com todos amigos, a música une nações, ainda mais qnd tem a unção do Espírito Santo, mais poderosa é, glória a Jesus, "então minha alma canta a Ti Senhor, Grandioso és Tu"😍🎵❤🇧🇴

[lequirejosh]

[jessszabo]

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Refrain

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Refrain

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Refrain

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
