About Selah:
Selah was founded by siblings Todd and Nicol Smith (now Nicol Sponberg) along with their friend Allan Hall. They gained rapid acclaim with their inaugural album, "Be Still My Soul," in 1999, known for their contemporary adaptations of traditional Christian hymns marked by powerful vocals and beautiful harmonies. Their repertoire also included notable covers such as "You Raise Me Up" by Secret Garden and "Bless the Broken Road" by Marcus Hummon. The group's debut album earned them a Dove Award.
In 2004, Nicol pursued a solo career, and in 2005, Melodie Crittenden temporarily joined Selah. The 2006 album "Bless the Broken Road" marked a collaboration between original members Allan Hall and Todd Smith alongside various guest singers.
After auditioning 15 female vocalists, Amy Perry joined Selah as a full-time member due to her vocal prowess and spiritual resonance. Allan Hall transitioned to a more prominent singing role from his initial position as the group's accompanist. In 2014, Selah released "You Amaze Us," featuring the title track that debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Soft AC chart, a historic first for the chart. "You Amaze Us" remained at No. 1 on the Christian Soft AC chart for 12 consecutive weeks.

Lyrics (I’d Rather Have Jesus):
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather be His than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today
I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
Yes, I'd rather be true to His holy name
Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

This video is beautifully done!
The angles and juxtapositioning (pulpit/singing message, etc) you chose enhance the storytelling and give a deeper meaning to the song.
The clips from the movie are a nice blend as presented.
Well done, David! 😃👏
Selah, you guys have ministered to my heart for decades! Thank you for lifting our hearts in worship that honors our Heavenly Father.❤
