A choir of unbelievably talented musicians turned in an emotional and moving performance of a song about praising and worshiping the Lord for His endless love and mercy.
The world is a fallen and lost place inhabited by people hurting and struggling. They are broken and bruised and looking for hope wherever they may find it. But thanks to Christ’s willing sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection, all have been given hope and a chance at everlasting life with Him.
For all Christ has done, defeating death and sin and bringing hope, there is no way to praise and thank Him properly. But what else can we do? All we have is our praise to offer Him, and not even that is fit for a King.
In a clip posted on YouTube, a choir performs Brandon Lake’s classic “Gratitude,” about offering our praise and worship to the Lord because that’s all we have to give. It’s an absolutely stunning and moving a cappella performance – one all are sure to enjoy and appreciate.
“So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah”
Christ went to the cross and died a horrible, awful and completely undeserving death. He went through all of that excruciating pain and agony for a bunch of sinners, people who had willingly turned away and were disobedient. But God showed pity and mercy for a lost people by sending His one and Only Son to die for us to bridge the gap and rupture that sin had caused.
That level of love, mercy and grace is hard to fathom. There is nothing anyone can do to become worthy of such a selfless and loving gift. As the song says, all we can do is throw up our hands and praise Him repeatedly.
Isaiah 25:1 “O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honor to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.”
