I was baptized on Easter back in the late '60s, so tomorrow I'm a-gonna go outside my comfort zone and attend a local church basically to just thank the Good Lord for doing what He did. Don't like singing around others ... and I worry that my breath will stink and that people won't like my face but, nevertheless, a sinner like me needs to do this anyway. Happy Easter, Everyone! See you in church!!:-)
I also saw Avalon on this tour and they were amazing! I think that was my favorite period of there career, when Nikki, Michael, Janna, & Jody made up the group. God really blessed them with awesome talent, they have used to reach many. I love Avalon and always will!
I remember going to this concert when it was on tour. And with all the big names there, all I could remember was how AMAZING Avalon was! Even with all the line-up changes over the years, they've stayed awesome and great witnesses for Christ.
I've played this hymn many times, sung it many times in its traditional/original format. Love it that way and I gotta say, I LOVE this arrangement too! It's an arrangement that brings the 21st century musical style to one of the greatest and trueist call-to- worship-lyrics we can ever hear! Rejoice! God uses all kinds of ways to reach we as Christians...and also those He wants to call back to Him. If this reaches anyone...believer or not....then Praise God for the joy of music and what it can bring to all! :-)
Yeah, Nikki always surprised me; so little yet she has such a powerful voice. Check out her single on iTunes called Roots Before Branches by Room For Two.
Powerful rendition. Thanks for blessing me with this song. And to nadahope11, I rebuke you in the name of the Lord for your ungracious, and hurtful words. Jesus reaches different generations with many styles of music. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it wrong.
All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ Name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all! Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race, Ye ransomed from the fall, Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all! Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all! Oh, that with yonder sacred throng We at His feet may fall! We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all!
honestly, if you don't like it why are you here watching the video and commenting, just go look at somthing you like and stop complaining to everyone who does like it...
Does anyone know who the blonde guy is and what happened to him? I thank God for their music and the way that many have been blessed through their gift. God bless.
Sounds Awesome!! For the bashers..... are you acting Christian? You may want to go read John 15 a couple times.... love, love, love! We get enough hate from outside the church. Disagree with the format all you like, but acting hateful is unnecessary.
@OnAChairSitting The Moor is of a free and open nature, That thinks men honest that but seem to be so, And will as tenderly be led by th’ nose, As asses are.
We all fall short of God's glory. And the only one qualified to judge one another is Christ alone. It's very very sad you don't get that. I bet you've gone to Church all your life and yet have still missed the biggest point of all. This is why Jesus will say one day "Even though you cried out "Lord Lord," I never knew you." As you judge other, shall ye be judged. I pray for you Dindraen
I am always so grieved in my spirit when I hear modern versions of glorious hymns of the past. In fact I'm always so grieved when I hear the Name of our Lord sung in tasteless un-spiritual manner, that resembles to nothing more than pop entertainment. They even dance to it as they would in a disco! Please don't say they dance unto the LORD.... DUH!
My dears the truth Jesus Clearly said to them do not worship me cause is not accepted. Matt 15:7-9 9 They worship me in vain; the prophets in Bible are Servant of God Mark 12:1-5 Jesus a Servant Matt 12:18 "Here is my SERVANT whom I have chosen," SALVATION in Bible John 17:3 "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom you have SENT" God is ONE Isaiah 46:9;Num 23:19; Sam 15:29;Hosea 11:9; Qur'an : Surah Al-Maeda 5:116-120. Judgement Day.
@rjmj33 Pardon me, but getting in a slur against Catholics wasn't a particularly christian attitude either. Where do you get the idea that those dreaded "Catholics" would think they're dressed like harlots!? It's always painful to take part in something with what I think of as my fellow Christians, and get sideswiped by a remark like that. No wonder so many do not believe. Jesus prayed that all may be one so that the world would believe, and we spend so much time tearing each other down.
Peace?!! In all of your preceeding commentary where is the fruit of the Spirit (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness ... Gal 5:22)? In the words of our Lord Jesus Christ Matt7:1Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
+Rhodri Jones It seems you are asking, "How dare we enjoy songs that glorify our Lord?" Do you think we will not enjoy Heaven and all His splendor? We are co-heirs with Christ! (Romans 8:17) If we can suffer for Him, we can certainly celebrate with Him! There isn't just one type of music being played in Heaven, my Christian sister.www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8:17&version=NIV
Hi Michael, I think you misunderstand me. I was commenting by comparison with the original music, but not the words. The original hymn has a dignity to it that transcends much of what we encounter in modern popular music, which may detract from the majesty of the original. I do not condemn it, but merely state that something has been lost. You are in error in saying that there will be more than one kind of music in heaven. There is no scriptural basis for this. We will both sing praises in a way this world has never known! By the way, brother, I'm not your sister, "Rhodri" is a man's name (I was named after a medieval Welsh king)! Every blessing.
+Rhodri Jones Many apologies for my mistake! Besides that, there is much about Heaven that is not in the Bible. God still speaks. Many things come to mankind through divine revelation. The Bible does not signify the last time mankind has ever heard from God. Could you imagine if we could no longer hear from God? I would have killed myself back in '09 if He did not give me hope in my darkest hour. But He continues to speak through His people and continues to empower us to reach the lost to plunder Hell and repopulate Heaven! Hallelujah my Christian brother! :)
I almost NEVER post a comment. But can "Dindraen" really be real? It's people like them that give true Christans a bad name. I think Dindraen must either be a Muslim extremist -or possibly a Catholic -if he/she really thinks these women look like "harlots." Sir,or Ma'am - I confess to knowing a thing or two about harlots. These women are the farthest thing from harlots there can be! Flesh? What flesh?? The women's attire is between business casual and professional!
This is an unbelievably inappropriate forum for the kind of discussions going on here. Please. You don't even know each other. It's just not effective and is a really poor example of Christianity. Seriously. Exchange emails and then phone numbers and then meet for a stinking cup of coffee. Oh, that's right, you want to keep your privacy. Nice.
they disgrace the song by singing it in a rock and roll style. rock and roll is a spiritual death plague to our generation and won't here that garbage in heaven
+Malcolm Marshall I am not a Christian but it's interesting to watch how Christians argue or disagree with each other over things like musical preference. Myself, watching what was supposed to be hymn, I tend to agree with Bill Sanders after observing them 02:37 TO THE END literally screaming on the mic and shake their little asses all over the stage. They looked more pissed off than worshiping.
Malcolm Marshall Is this Willow Creek? I was a member there from the beginning (the theatre in Palatine) and thought it was so hip and cool. But now I just think it worldly and smaltzy. Just a matter of taste I suppose... I have heard Coral Ridge type organ and choir churches do the same thing. Ruin a perfectly good worship hymn with too much improvisation. I think worship music should be solemn and sacred - not Las Vegas type entertainment. Not drawing attention to the performers, but instead drawing attention to God's grace, power and beauty.
I was baptized on Easter back in the late '60s, so tomorrow I'm a-gonna go outside my comfort zone and attend a local church basically to just thank the Good Lord for doing what He did. Don't like singing around others ... and I worry that my breath will stink and that people won't like my face but, nevertheless, a sinner like me needs to do this anyway.
Happy Easter, Everyone! See you in church!!:-)
these members together in Avalon is something absolutely unforgetable!
I also saw Avalon on this tour and they were amazing! I think that was my favorite period of there career, when Nikki, Michael, Janna, & Jody made up the group. God really blessed them with awesome talent, they have used to reach many.
I love Avalon and always will!
Avalon is still one of my favorites. This song is still beautifull an evergreen. The performance is wonderfull.
I remember going to this concert when it was on tour. And with all the big names there, all I could remember was how AMAZING Avalon was! Even with all the line-up changes over the years, they've stayed awesome and great witnesses for Christ.
This is from the "My Utmost for His Highest" concert which is probably my favorite concert of all time.
I've played this hymn many times, sung it many times in its traditional/original format. Love it that way and I gotta say, I LOVE this arrangement too! It's an arrangement that brings the 21st century musical style to one of the greatest and trueist call-to- worship-lyrics we can ever hear! Rejoice!

If this reaches anyone...believer or not....then Praise God for the joy of music and what it can bring to all! :-)
I love their version of this song!!!
Beautiful rendition! If you didn't shed tears, you might have missed the heavenly Message. :)
On the cross Jesus wins through losing, triumphs through defeat, achieves power through weakness, comes to wealth through giving all away.
Wow!! Praise the Lord for your performance! Wow!!
"Jesus answered, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Eu conheci este louvor com este arranjo pelo 4him. Surpresa em ouvir Avalon cantar tbm.
Avalon totally rocks this hymn. love it
i love this song! its catchy...they all sing really good..especially the lady with the blonde hair.
Love it!
long live the power of the gospel
Although many songs are geared to uptempo ,modern versions, I enjoy this cool tune; it is great !
Great song and great group!
Avalon... you guys rock!!! good performance and good voices!!!
Yes, very powerful words! Amen!
Wow divine intervention!
Yeah, Nikki always surprised me; so little yet she has such a powerful voice. Check out her single on iTunes called Roots Before Branches by Room For Two.
Thanks, I will check it out. God Bless
Powerful rendition. Thanks for blessing me with this song. And to nadahope11, I rebuke you in the name of the Lord for your ungracious, and hurtful words. Jesus reaches different generations with many styles of music. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it wrong.

Thank you!
His name is Michael Passons, look him up on myspace.
viva jesucristo ahora y siempre
Lord, Forgive them for they do not know what they doing.
I having trouble understanding what your referring too.
saudai o nome de jesus... :]
wow that is sweet!
a song written by eddie perronett. bro william branham said this song is the inauguraton song of the second coming of jesus christ
All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ Name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him Who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Oh, that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Each to their own, but I much prefer the original version.
give me the "blues" version anyday
sounds like the jackson 5 hand gestures and all. yecch. .
When do they sing this song?
Very beautiful!
Nice job using a 4HIM arrangement of a great old hymn.
honestly, if you don't like it why are you here watching the video and commenting, just go look at somthing you like and stop complaining to everyone who does like it...
Are they the original four?
Samuel Trinidad yes if we are going by the 1st album.
Does anyone know who the blonde guy is and what happened to him? I thank God for their music and the way that many have been blessed through their gift. God bless.
Kya Issaye Michael Passions
Ele foi pressionado a deixar o grupo em 2003 por ser gay....
Sounds Awesome!! For the bashers..... are you acting Christian? You may want to go read John 15 a couple times.... love, love, love! We get enough hate from outside the church.

@OnAChairSitting
Wrong.
I love hymns. I can't get in to the modern Christian music...
@Orsan13 It doesn't matter what you view as right or wrong. In the end, Satan still loves you.
How do you mess up a perfectly good worship song I know what's improvise the whole thing I take the worship part out!
super LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
@OnAChairSitting
The Moor is of a free and open nature,

Not christian, but this song is nice! My choir's singing this,but a different version. Kinda nicer, i like it!
I am always so grieved in my spirit when I hear modern versions of glorious hymns of the past. In fact I'm always so grieved when I hear the Name of our Lord sung in tasteless un-spiritual manner, that resembles to nothing more than pop entertainment.

wrong, you need to be a wise man.. !
you can't ruin such a great song! Praise God, however, whatever!

Please compose your own songs. You make this loose its tune and meaning. LEAVE HYMN SONGS BE HYMN SONGS.
Dreadful! The dignity and majesty of the original being reduced to an entertaining pop song.
