A lot of Christians in the comments seem to have adverse reaction to boundaries. Here is a boundary. These tears were my own way of expressing appreciation for it. You’re free to express how this music made you feel as this is a religious song. But you are not at liberty to tell me how I felt.

It's a little strange to react to a spiritual hymn of a religious group and then not want people to share their religious experiences in return. That being said, you are correct that no one can tell you how you are feeling. Although, sometimes when I'm angry people point it out and I hadn't realized it. Or more often, someone helps me understand something I'm feeling. I don't think it's reasonable to have a blanket statement that anyone telling anyone about their view on an emotional response is bad. Spiritual individuals are of course going to point out what they view as a spiritual experience. It's fine to disagree but it's not really surprising or offensive for them to do so.
@@isaacostlund All I ask is for you not to invalidate my feelings by projecting your world view on me... my feelings does not have to be consistent with anyone's belief system. You are free to express how you feel, my emotions are mine to define and if you say you think i felt the spirit and I say no, you should respect it or leave the conversation. Its funny how religious people think I am taking something away from them when all im doing is setting a boundary about my personal emotions smh...
@@QofyReacts I'm very religious and I 100% am in agreement with you. You put your boundaries up as a pinned comment and everyone should respect that. I certainly do. Thank you for your reaction to one of my favorite songs. Sending love and positivity to you and yours brother.
@@nancyarchibald9095 Oh here we go... you dont know what my opinions are and yet they are disgusting... good please keep demonstrating your true nature :) You probably didn't watch the video either
Hey Qofy! I am a current member of Vocal Point. Though I was not a member of the group during the music video, it has always been my favorite arrangement of the song and I’m so grateful to sing perform it currently. Thank you so much for the reaction!
My son wanted to be a member of Vocal Point years ago but his life took a different turn. They were performing in our town and they graciously let him sing bass with them for this song. I'm so glad I have the video of it.
The lead (soloist), James Stevens, is also the one who arranged this hymn & wrote the Latin part for it. The song has been performed by groups all over the world (including The Piano Guys who used James’s arrangement) on 6 continents! You chose a phenomenal piece to cover here
That’s my uncle, James, on the solo!! He wrote this arrangement for BYU Vocal Point when we was their director years ago 🥰 crazy to see how many lives it’s changed since he showed us the first draft of it years ago. this was so fun to watch!! Thank you!! 💛
Oh wow..he is so gifted. He would be so proud to see his cover version sang by Stand Music a group in Africa. Please refer him to them. @Qofygang it would be interesting if you react to that one too.
Your uncle is a genius!! This is one of my favorite songs EVER!! Sometimes, I listen to it all day long. He was inspired by God when he wrote that arrangement: this is PERFECT. God bless!!
We listened to this during the last hours of my daughter's life. She was just weeks away from turning 4 years old when she passed in my arms from brain cancer. She loved listening to Vocal Point with me when she was stuck in the hospital. Even though she was mostly deaf, you could tell she could feel the vibration of the music and felt the Spirit. She had amazing taste in music. This makes me miss my angel Rachel so much. It's been hard to listen to this the last 8+ years since she went home.
That your daughter could feel the vibrations of this beautiful song brought me to tears. So sorry for your loss of a child so young. She’s in gods hands now and no doubt listening to angels choirs.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your memory of sharing this beautiful song with your daughter is so very touching. I’m glad you were able to connect with your little girl through music!
Your tears. So honest. I love that you felt the truth and spiritual depth of the intention of this piece. James, the soloist, is my husband and there is more where that came from. I agree, it’s the best version ever of this song because experiencing it is transcendent! Thank you for sharing this. God bless you. 🙏🏻
Debbie, are he and his family still singing in a group? He was in my ward and we lost contact after my husband died. What's the name of the group? Thanks
This version is full of mysticism, drama, and the profound ecstacy of being taken up into Heaven. It isn't just a nice old hymn anymore, but a deep emotional experience to listen to.
So BYU Vocal Point is a men’s a capella group and one year competed against Pentatonix on The Sing Off. If you loved this song you should react to Vocal Point It Is Well with My Soul. Their rendition is absolutely breathtaking and emotional!
This is my favorite version. I love BYU Vocal Point and that they added the Men’s Chorus to this was an awesome choice. James, the soloist, actually wrote this arrangement and originally performed it. He’s a BYU vocal point alum. I’ve enjoyed all of their videos so far, and it’s interesting to see the change of vocalists over the years. Also, it’s Latin.
Even cooler, the sheet music for this arrangement is completely free everywhere you find it, because James says it came to him as a gift from God and therefore it belongs to everyone. Whether you believe in God or not, that's still an awesome thing to do.
Great reaction! Thank you for allowing yourself to feel the emotions engendered by this incredible performance. One hundred plus men singing together in perfect harmony, lifting up a majestic prayer for nearness to God. Beautiful. Awesome. Overwhelming. Tears are an appropriate response.
Amen! I LOVED not only listening to these amazing choirs, BUT QoFy was so pure and sincere in his reaction- it was just as much a joy to watch him react!
Last spring I did this song with my high school choir. I am a low bass. The sound waves in the room were incredible. As I am religious the lyrics have a profound meaning to me. But as you are not I would just like to say that I am glad you enjoy the power behind the voice. The music touches the soul. It doesn’t matter if there’s a god or not. Music has power.
My husband Jake is just to the right of the soloist- James-he loved his years in Vocal Point! They snag at our wedding ☺️ they are wonderful people and if you can ever catch a show I highly recommend it!
You can't shake this off man. For years to come, you will be coming back to top up. It feels you eavesdropped on Heaven's music. Can't unhear this. 😇 They did this again virtually with opera music and people from all over the world. Please do a reaction of that too. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite acappella performances. Thanks for reacting to it! Not only is it musically fantastic, you can tell these guys are singing from the strength of their faith as well.
When you find a professional musician with high skills arranging and composing, pick up a source material song with high quality, a group of youth prepared for give glory to the lord, and all of them get inspired, you get this: an outstanding performance, remarkable and very touching.
My brother, instead of shaking it off, let it take you away. If you choose to experience the whole thing, the entirety of all it has to offer. You deserve the whole experience.❤️ Idk ur work; today was the first time I’ve seen one of your videos. I’m thinking that you’re a singer, the way that you did that “third eye open” thing as the soloist started to sing. The background “In Articulo Mortis”song is being sung in Latin. “Nearer my God to Thee” will never be the same again. It was a real pleasure watching your short reactionary analysis
You were feeling the Holy Ghost when they were singing!! It’s profound when you are touched by the Holy Ghost! When you feel it, it’s God testifying to you of something GOOD, something true, and a song that speaks of him! ❤
@@QofyReacts The intense warm, and chills and that feeling that electrified your whole being IS the power of God through the Holy Ghost. God speaks to us in our own language. I get many messages through music too.
so the power of God runs in Billie Eilish songs too? because intense feelings and chills are simply human emotions that can be triggered by any profound experience.
@QofyReacts If God can use broken and imperfect people like you and I to spread his love for his other children then yes he can impart lessons to you through Billie Eilish as well. All good things come from him and are a reminder of his love for us.
Your world view is broken. I have no desire to be perfect given that I’m human. I don’t have that ugly guilt and shame that you have been brainwashed and assigned to. You can keep your degraded view of yourself. Leave me out of it.
Music...good music...the kind that moves your soul to a higher ground...that kind of music, well, we just cannot help but have our emotions connect our minds with our hearts. I have had this happen to me numerous times and with different genres of music too (it's not because of the content of words that they are singing, but the quality of the harmonies that they sing together that makes us emotional). That "wow" out of the blue arrow just hits the target dead center. I agree with Iris, who said "your discriminating ear never fails you"... it is your ability to hear all the parts individually and simultaneously that sets this reaction apart from all of the others. You're the best QoFy! You amaze me again and again.
I loved your reaction. I also loved how you told us how they were in unison and then went to harmony. I listened for that and it was beautiful. Thank you so much for your love of beautiful music that praises our Lord.
Watching you react was so freaking fun. It’s as though you hear music in color, picking apart each part as if it has its own unique, majestic color. I think most people appreciate music, but not many see it as clearly and magically as you do. It’s obvious you have a gift and a love of music. It was such a joy for me to watch YOUR JOY. How you express yourself and digest the music is out of this world. Thank you for spreading your light and recognizing the light in others!
Have you seen the the zoom version with BYU vocal point and the alums from around the world. I’ve watched it so many, many times. Oh my goodness, you’re crying.❤️. It touches your heart and you feel the genuine love for God. The soloist is in the zoom version. It makes you cry as well.
@@QofyReacts you’re right. You loved it. It’s beautiful and touching. I said it was THEIR genuine love for God. It’s all voluntary and a very strict program to dedicate their talents during what would be classified as college party years. You have a nice channel that I came upon by accident. I hope you have a wonderful day.
I also cry sometimes when listening to Billie Eilish or Michael Jackson … could it be that maybe certain chords and crescendo styles just move us regardless of the theme of the song religious or not? Or that Spirits and Gods are involved when it’s gospel and devils and demons are involved when it's secular music? Occam’s razor
I have loved BYU Vocal Point for years and have somehow never heard this before. This is my new favorite arrangement of one of my already favorite songs! Thank you so much @QofyReacts for reacting to this video, or who knows if I would have ever found it 💜
I've seen their performance video countless times and absolutely love it. While watching your video I was reminded of the great joy I felt in singing in choirs huge (350+ voices) and small. There is a beauty of unity and strength when people sing together. Seeing your reaction made my eyes leak too. Thank you!
I listen to this several times a week and it never fails to move me. I checked their site, and this was done about 8 years ago and has had 3.5 MILLION views. You said it, the best, most moving version of Nearer My God To Thy.
The polyphonic layering of this song brings the power to inspire and connect to your sophisticated soul within you. To get the full emotional breadth you must seek to understand the meaning conveyed in BOTH songs witnessing to you of truth in the beauty of sound and harmony. Down In the comments of TH-cam Vocal Point versions they have the Latin lyrics and the translation into English which is powerfully triumphant in meaning as well as sublime! Worth it to seek the understanding as you listen again. Check out the meaning of the two songs sung on top of each other to buoy you up with eternal optimism …come what may! You can walk through any trial if you can maintain the divine power of heaven that infuses your soul as you listen to this and contemplate its meaning!
This is one of my top favourite songs of all time thanks to this arrangement (though I first heard it done by monster tenor Tim Waurick, who did a solo version of this, I can really recommend checking out his solo work, as well as his work with his Barbershop quartet Vocal Spectrum, specifically their version of Good Vibrations. He has one of the most insane vocal ranges ever, he can go nearly as low as Matt of PTX and up beyond counter tenor, rivalling full on sopranos). The Latin counter melody is so awesome I can barely express it in words, it gives the song an absolutely amazing vibe!
If you believe in Jesus Christ, and are personally trying to live all or many of his commandments, though not actively attending this, Christ's church, right now, you can still call yourself a Christian (the word means you believe in Jesus Christ) and pray to God the Father, "Heavenly Father, I thank thee for.. ", and end all your prayers sincerely saying, "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen". Yes. :-) You may end your prayers in the full name of Jesus Christ, because there are many Mexican people who name their sons 'Jesus'... Believe that God the Father is more likely to give attention to, and then give answer to one's sincere prayer for spiritual blessings, if he hears the name of his son, Jesus Christ, at the end of your prayer, before you say the the 'amen' which ends your communication with him for the time being. Avoid foul words in your prayers, as Jesus Christ created 'all things' in the universe, above, on, and in the Earth, very willingly, as was directed by his Father in Heaven, so using the names of those creations, even the word 'Hell' (that Christ created as a place for where 'Satan the Devil' should always reside in forever, eternally forever), should not be used either. Jesus Christ gives us the direction saying, "Swear not at all." :-)
Hey Qofy! Theres also a girl group called BYU noteworthy who are equally as good. Would love if you could check out there cover of ‘i can only imagine’
Noteworthy did an incredible rendition of Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone. QoFY, I would love to see a reaction to that song. Also, BYU combined choirs and orchestra did an amazing version of Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, and I think that would also make a great reaction video.
I appreciate you reaction video, your honest tears and smiles. Loving your smile! Regardless of beliefs, this is a wonderful, emotional and strong song, executed perfectly by particular men's choir. Great filming and production too. Stay well and joyful! ❤️
I think it was the most beautiful interpretation of this song! Thank you for listening to it. If you get a chance please listen to David Phelps "Nessun Dorma" Live. Thank you and God bless
Every single time I listen to this my emotions sore. No matter your belief this is truly magical. Turn your lights out put on your headphones and close your eyes absolutely breathtaking!
@QoFyReacts - You have a new fan! 🙋🏽♀ I just found your reaction video after watching the original for the 100th time. ☺ I love your musical insights, & watching you smile & be moved by the spirit brought me joy as well! I cannot watch this song without a tissue. It expresses the desire of my heart… to be nearer to God. 🫶 Another favorite Vocal Point cover is “It Is Well With My Soul”. Make sure you read the tragic & true story behind the song, written by Horatio Spafford in 1873. 2023 marks the 150th anniversary of it being written. Bless you! Can’t wait to see your other videos!
I find it very respectable that you still can hold respect and see beauty in Christian music even when you are atheist. I think that shows a lot of maturity. I don't think the believers and the non-believers should be at odds with each other because at the end of the day we are human beings who seek the same peace and comforts in life. Unity solves all problems and finding commonality is far better than pinpointing differences.
I appreciate your respect 🫡 We’ll have to agree to disagree on the “being at odds” part😂 Believers and non believers have always been at odds because of how both parties think of each other. Especially when some religious doctrine teaches them to disregard non believers and see them as literal “children of the devil” and deserving of destruction in hell at the end of the day… simply for not sharing the same belief system. I find it difficult to ignore that part. It’s sad. I do have friends I love that claim to love me back but simultaneously accept a belief that I in some way deserve to be tortured forever… All I think about them is that I wish them well in all that they do. As I don’t have any baggage towards them. Those 2 things cannot merge. Do you understand my disagreement?
@@QofyReacts yes of course man! And I’m sorry that a lot of members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are so quick to jump to what they feel so strongly about. It can cause quite the disconnect and possibly ruin the whole experience of this beautiful song for you. I hope you do understand where they’re coming from tho?
@@Jakethefurnitureandmattressguy I know. I used to be a Christian. It still doesnt change the fact that they disrespected my boundaries that I clearly set. I am excited too, but I'm not moved to push my beliefs on them am I ? I hope they understand where I'm coming from.

A lot of Christians in the comments seem to have adverse reaction to boundaries.
Here is a boundary.
These tears were my own way of expressing appreciation for it.
You’re free to express how this music made you feel as this is a religious song.
But you are not at liberty to tell me how I felt. That is where your freedom ends and mine begins
No I did not feel any spirit or any Gods.
No I wasn’t hurt by my church, please stop pretending you know me.
You only just saw me in one video, a random guy on the internet. To pretend to know why I felt something is weird and intrusive
The world does not revolve around your belief system and not everyone behaves or think like you do.
My emotions are my own and its not yours to define. Respect it or leave my channel.
It's a little strange to react to a spiritual hymn of a religious group and then not want people to share their religious experiences in return.
That being said, you are correct that no one can tell you how you are feeling. Although, sometimes when I'm angry people point it out and I hadn't realized it. Or more often, someone helps me understand something I'm feeling. I don't think it's reasonable to have a blanket statement that anyone telling anyone about their view on an emotional response is bad.
Spiritual individuals are of course going to point out what they view as a spiritual experience. It's fine to disagree but it's not really surprising or offensive for them to do so.
@@isaacostlund All I ask is for you not to invalidate my feelings by projecting your world view on me... my feelings does not have to be consistent with anyone's belief system.

Jensen I appreciate you for watching and I would love to see you all live some day!
It's a powerfully written arrangement. It's just so crisp and clear and simple sounding yet full of melodic complexity. Tingles down the spine.

I was able to meet him once as I used to be a student there. I was in the BYU womens choir and he was so kind. And so good at singing too
Your uncle is a genius!! This is one of my favorite songs EVER!! Sometimes, I listen to it all day long. He was inspired by God when he wrote that arrangement: this is PERFECT. God bless!!
I try to start my days with this piece. It warms my soul.. Tell your uncle I am eternally grateful 🙏

He is truly blessed 🙏
This version is full of mysticism, drama, and the profound ecstacy of being taken up into Heaven. It isn't just a nice old hymn anymore, but a deep emotional experience to listen to.
Watching someone else be emotionally moved by this song is just as powerful and enjoyable as the song itself.
Yes. Crying is the correct reaction.❤😊
Truth tears. The context of the song as Jacob’s dream, the harmonies, the Latin. It’s the most incredible and pure testimony of Jesus Christ. ❤
So BYU Vocal Point is a men’s a capella group and one year competed against Pentatonix on The Sing Off. If you loved this song you should react to Vocal Point It Is Well with My Soul. Their rendition is absolutely breathtaking and emotional!
My favorite version of IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

There is something immensely powerful in an all male choir. And this performance exemplifies that.
They are all ordain priests.
Thank you for playing our choir❤

loved the reaction! I don't know why other people aren't reacting to this! there's only a few people on TH-cam that have done it.
Thank you for your reaction. Beautiful hymn to our God.

Listen to Come thou fount of every blessing from the Tabernacle Chior at temple square. You’ll love it!
My favorite performance of Come Thou Fount was done by BYU combined choirs and orchestra. Mack Wilberg arranged that piece masterfully!
‘Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” and “If You Could High To Kolob” …WOW!!!
I also LOVE, One Children’s Choir “Glorious.”
It lifted my heart and soul! Thank you
This song moves me too.. praise Jesus.. 🙏

Have you seen the the zoom version with BYU vocal point and the alums from around the world. I’ve watched it so many, many times. Oh my goodness, you’re crying.❤️. It touches your heart and you feel the genuine love for God. The soloist is in the zoom version. It makes you cry as well.
I loved. It had nothing to do with a God
@@QofyReacts you’re right. You loved it. It’s beautiful and touching. I said it was THEIR genuine love for God. It’s all voluntary and a very strict program to dedicate their talents during what would be classified as college party years. You have a nice channel that I came upon by accident. I hope you have a wonderful day.
@@QofyReacts God and His Spirit can speak through music and touch our hearts and souls ❤️
I also cry sometimes when listening to Billie Eilish or Michael Jackson … could it be that maybe certain chords and crescendo styles just move us regardless of the theme of the song religious or not?
Or that Spirits and Gods are involved when it’s gospel and devils and demons are involved when it's secular music? Occam’s razor
I have loved BYU Vocal Point for years and have somehow never heard this before. This is my new favorite arrangement of one of my already favorite songs! Thank you so much @QofyReacts for reacting to this video, or who knows if I would have ever found it 💜
I've seen their performance video countless times and absolutely love it. While watching your video I was reminded of the great joy I felt in singing in choirs huge (350+ voices) and small. There is a beauty of unity and strength when people sing together. Seeing your reaction made my eyes leak too. Thank you!
So good!

WOW! I really like the 7/8 swing in this. Thank you QoFy for introducing me to this group!
I love your smile, and your appreciation. I so wish I could sing. Ah well. 😂 Great reaction. ❤
I listen to this several times a week and it never fails to move me. I checked their site, and this was done about 8 years ago and has had 3.5 MILLION views. You said it, the best, most moving version of Nearer My God To Thy.
You are right on the money. You perfectly encapsulate exactly how I feel when I listen to this
It was fun watching you listen to it.
When that tear rolled down your cheek, i lost it. 🥲❤
❤
I Love your Passion. It completes the effect.
Glad you enjoy it!
That smile 😁🥲🤗 You did at 1:53 🥰 That was the SPIRIT...🕊😇
Such unbridled glee! It's infectious.
I completely agree! Best rendition of this song ever!!! So uplifting!
It’s amazing
It was delightful for me to witness you (educated in vocals) appreciating this performance. ❤
Subscribed. What a genuine reaction to something so stunningly beautiful.
I can only hear from one ear, and still so so beautiful!
The polyphonic layering of this song brings the power to inspire and connect to your sophisticated soul within you. To get the full emotional breadth you must seek to understand the meaning conveyed in BOTH songs witnessing to you of truth in the beauty of sound and harmony. Down In the comments of TH-cam Vocal Point versions they have the Latin lyrics and the translation into English which is powerfully triumphant in meaning as well as sublime! Worth it to seek the understanding as you listen again. Check out the meaning of the two songs sung on top of each other to buoy you up with eternal optimism …come what may!
You can walk through any trial if you can maintain the divine power of heaven that infuses your soul as you listen to this and contemplate its meaning!
This is one of my top favourite songs of all time thanks to this arrangement (though I first heard it done by monster tenor Tim Waurick, who did a solo version of this, I can really recommend checking out his solo work, as well as his work with his Barbershop quartet Vocal Spectrum, specifically their version of Good Vibrations. He has one of the most insane vocal ranges ever, he can go nearly as low as Matt of PTX and up beyond counter tenor, rivalling full on sopranos). The Latin counter melody is so awesome I can barely express it in words, it gives the song an absolutely amazing vibe!
I agree. Vocal Spectrum is insanely good.
I’m not even a Christian anymore, but this arrangement makes me cry every. damn. TIME. 🙌🏻
If you believe in Jesus Christ, and are personally trying to live all or many of his commandments, though not actively attending this, Christ's church, right now, you can still call yourself a Christian (the word means you believe in Jesus Christ) and pray to God the Father, "Heavenly Father, I thank thee for.. ", and end all your prayers sincerely saying, "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen". Yes. :-)
You may end your prayers in the full name of Jesus Christ, because there are many Mexican people who name their sons 'Jesus'...
Believe that God the Father is more likely to give attention to, and then give answer to one's sincere prayer for spiritual blessings, if he hears the name of his son, Jesus Christ, at the end of your prayer, before you say the the 'amen' which ends your communication with him for the time being.
Avoid foul words in your prayers, as Jesus Christ created 'all things' in the universe, above, on, and in the Earth, very willingly, as was directed by his Father in Heaven, so using the names of those creations, even the word 'Hell' (that Christ created as a place for where 'Satan the Devil' should always reside in forever, eternally forever), should not be used either.
Jesus Christ gives us the direction saying, "Swear not at all." :-)
Christ loves you and wants you back on His side. He wants to dispel the darkness in your life. ❤️
@@Latterdaysaintcrunchymom You people just cant help yourselves can you?
@@QofyReacts well, no. Not really. ;)
@@Latterdaysaintcrunchymom You believe something cool. Why do you have to force it on others who clearly have not invited you to the conversation?
Brilliant reaction! Thank you 🙏
Best reaction ever, love this and you made me cry as well
You have an ear for music, for sure. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for listening
Hey Qofy! Theres also a girl group called BYU noteworthy who are equally as good. Would love if you could check out there cover of ‘i can only imagine’
Noteworthy did an incredible rendition of Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone. QoFY, I would love to see a reaction to that song. Also, BYU combined choirs and orchestra did an amazing version of Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, and I think that would also make a great reaction video.
I love how sincere and expressive you are when you react!
Its the best way to do it
Beautiful! These young men are so talented, iris inspiring!
I appreciate you reaction video, your honest tears and smiles. Loving your smile!
Regardless of beliefs, this is a wonderful, emotional and strong song, executed perfectly by particular men's choir. Great filming and production too.
Stay well and joyful! ❤️
Much love ❤️
@@QofyReacts much love to you too! ❤️
Your expressions are literally just the best thing I've ever seen! 🙂
You’re too kind
@@QofyReacts Seriously, this just absolutely made my whole dang WEEK!
These are earthly angels.
If singing angels existed I would imagine it would be something amazing as this
That was beautiful. This groups harmonies and arrangements all acapella (sp?) are mesmerizing.
Yes, please more Vocal Point.
I think it was the most beautiful interpretation of this song! Thank you for listening to it. If you get a chance please listen to David Phelps "Nessun Dorma" Live. Thank you and God bless
your reaction is adorable! I love your appreciation for music, and thank you for sharing!
Thank you too!
Please find more like that for us
What you were feeling was the witness of the Holy Spirit that drew your tears. I've had it happen many times and it always brings joy so deep....
No it wasn’t. Emotions are not caused by magic, I understand how mine works. Maybe yours are magic, have fun with that. Leave me out of it
I loved watching your face as you listened. It is a beautiful song.
It really is ❤
Absolutely incredible!
Every single time I listen to this my emotions sore. No matter your belief this is truly magical. Turn your lights out put on your headphones and close your eyes absolutely breathtaking!
They are amazing!
I have never heard this rendition. ❤❤❤ I will go buy this!
Same rendition as The Piano Guys!
I felt the same, tears rolling down my face.
great reaction bro ... Its very moving ...
I just LOVE your reactions to this!!! 😍😅😀
Absolutely one of my favorite arrangements done by Vocal Point!!!
It is incredible
@QoFyReacts - You have a new fan! 🙋🏽♀
I just found your reaction video after watching the original for the 100th time. ☺ I love your musical insights, & watching you smile & be moved by the spirit brought me joy as well! I cannot watch this song without a tissue. It expresses the desire of my heart… to be nearer to God. 🫶
Another favorite Vocal Point cover is “It Is Well With My Soul”. Make sure you read the tragic & true story behind the song, written by Horatio Spafford in 1873. 2023 marks the 150th anniversary of it being written.
Bless you! Can’t wait to see your other videos!
That was amazing thanks!!
I believe you are spot on!
This is surely the best rendition of this timeless
song of beautiful praise!❤
This is my favorite reaction to this song ever!!
It is so beautiful i love to sing it at my chaple ❤
Music moves us. That is why it is so magnificent . Thank you for listening !
Couldn't agree more!
I find it very respectable that you still can hold respect and see beauty in Christian music even when you are atheist. I think that shows a lot of maturity. I don't think the believers and the non-believers should be at odds with each other because at the end of the day we are human beings who seek the same peace and comforts in life. Unity solves all problems and finding commonality is far better than pinpointing differences.
I appreciate your respect 🫡
We’ll have to agree to disagree on the “being at odds” part😂
Believers and non believers have always been at odds because of how both parties think of each other.
Especially when some religious doctrine teaches them to disregard non believers and see them as literal “children of the devil” and deserving of destruction in hell at the end of the day… simply for not sharing the same belief system.
I find it difficult to ignore that part.
It’s sad. I do have friends I love that claim to love me back but simultaneously accept a belief that I in some way deserve to be tortured forever…
All I think about them is that I wish them well in all that they do. As I don’t have any baggage towards them.
Those 2 things cannot merge.
Do you understand my disagreement?
Imagine the choir in heaven😊
This is amazing and beautiful. Thanks man for the reaction video! It was pretty cool
You're too kind
@@QofyReacts yes of course man! And I’m sorry that a lot of members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are so quick to jump to what they feel so strongly about. It can cause quite the disconnect and possibly ruin the whole experience of this beautiful song for you. I hope you do understand where they’re coming from tho?
Much love man 👍
@@Jakethefurnitureandmattressguy I know. I used to be a Christian. It still doesnt change the fact that they disrespected my boundaries that I clearly set. I am excited too, but I'm not moved to push my beliefs on them am I ? I hope they understand where I'm coming from.
@@QofyReacts yes, I get that completely. Thank you again for the great and entertaining video, and much love to you and your family.
