    If you are listening to this, wondering if there is a Jesus- He is real. He's complete, tender love and He wants to know you. Look for Him and you'll easily find Him.

    I swear they could sing a 1950s era Betty Crocker String Bean Casserole recipe and they'd make it sound good.

    The coolest musical moments I've had as a performer have been the private moments - without an audience, without the hype, without any pressure.

    Your voices and your collaboration are beautiful and impeccable. I don't know the gentleman's name, but your conductor is consummate, brilliant, and inspired. His command and comprehension of tempi, balance, and dynamics are without rival. You all handled the excessive aural decay of these acoustics quite well. Bravo.

    The timing of this video at this point in my life is nothing short of miraculous. God is love, and His love has never let me go...despite my attempts to run from it.
    May God continue to bless this ensemble, and the music it makes in the future.

    Can we also appreciate the exquisite artistry of the conductor? Far from poking at the air, he bodily enacts the music alongside those singing. Every conductor has something to learn here, too.

    Oh Love that will not let me go,
    I rest my weary soul in Thee;
    I give Thee back the life I owe,
    That in Thine ocean depths its flow
    May richer, fuller be.
    Oh Light that foll’west all my way,
    I yield my flick’ring torch to Thee;
    My heart restores its borrowed ray,
    That in Thy sunshine’s blaze its day
    May brighter, fairer be.
    Oh Joy that seekest me through pain,
    I cannot close my heart to Thee;
    I trace the rainbow through the rain,
    And feel the promise is not vain,
    That morn shall tearless be.
    Oh Cross that liftest up my head,
    I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
    I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
    And from the ground there blossoms red
    Life that shall endless be.

    You guy absolutely are one of the best barbershop choruses I have had the honor of listening to! If it were not for the interference of my work schedule (nights for the past 25+ years) I would in my 49th year o barbershop. Got started as a freshman in high school in '71.
    Every time I hear you guys sing this I tear up and almost bawl like baby because it is such a God-inspired (I believe) expression of His love for us, and of the wonderful arrangement, and, most of all, your absolutely glorious performance of it. God bless you all, and keep those overtones a-ringing!

    Absolutely incredible. Reminds me completely of Matheson’s comments on Rev. 14:1-3 about only the redeemed can sing their unique part in the new song of God’s glorious redemption -
    “Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. And I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.”

      The room reverb is pretty thick for sure, James. Justin was certainly mindful and artistic in his direction. One could adjust some for the room saturation by how the group is arranged and proximity to the recording device. Perhaps a slightly tighter circle or a couple of rows, etc. However, In this case, the recording is really secondary to each man simply experiencing the magic of standing side by side together with equal contribution as they make the room sing and celebrate the International Championship weekend. This journey was extra special with Justin and Westminster. Love these guys.
