This young man’s ‘Goodness of God’ performance will touch your heart. Truly! Have you ever sat down in church and, if you’re honest, slightly dreaded the idea of Children’s Worship Sunday? I’ll admit it, I have. Because I’ve raised a few kids, and I know how those early years of singing can sound a little less like harmony and a little more like holy chaos.
But every once in a while, God hushes your expectations and blows you away.
That’s exactly what happened when Mekhi McClain, a young boy dressed in his Sunday best, stood alone at the front of his church. The first few chords of CeCe Winans’ song began to play, and you could see the nerves in his eyes — that mix of fear and faith every performer knows.
Then he opened his mouth.
And heaven opened, too.
As the lyrics spilled out “All my life You have been faithful…” his voice grew strong, clear, anointed. It wasn’t just a child singing a song. This little guy ushered the congregation into the presence of God.
People online can’t stop talking about it either. One woman wrote, “What a gift! He has been blessed with talent! Wow!” Another shared, “My niece used to sing like this in church as a child. She turned to the world. I pray this child continues in the name of Jesus.”
And that’s the prayer of every heart watching, that this young man stays close to the One who gave him the voice that silenced the room.
As one listener said, “Looking at this young man, you can see he has an anointing on his life. Praying he stays covered in the blood.”
Because sometimes God reminds us that His goodness isn’t confined to a worship band or a polished choir. Sometimes it’s a trembling voice in a child who believes the words he’s singing.
So yes, maybe next time the kids’ choir lines up in front of the church, we’ll lean in a little closer, because you never know when God might use a young heart like Mekhi to remind us all of His unshakable goodness.
Psalm 8:2 “From the lips of children and infants You have ordained praise.”
