I tell you what, I'm an atheist but when this song is sung by someone who has pipes like Martina it gives me goosebumps. How many other popular singers on radio can nail an acapella version like she can? She is amazing.
I saw her sing this at the Bushnell in Hartford CT. When she was done it took ten full seconds for people to clap. Except for the sniffling, you could have heard a pin drop.
I think I was at this concert. She was opening for Garth Brooks and it was one of those clear crisp winter nights with big fully snowflakes falling and she said she'd never done this before but felt in the spirit so she sang what is my favorite song acapella. It was absolutely magical, you could hear a pin drop when she was done. Just beautiful
She possesses one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard. It takes a lot of talent to sing a song flawlessly acapello style and she does it...beautifully. Awesome job.
Perfection! Martina's version acapella is breathtaking and shows what an amazing artist she is. I cannot get enough of this version and listen to this even outside of the Christmas season.
I didn't see your response about the "shock" until scrolling down after my response about the "shock." That HAD to be it, because I don't think they or I have heard anything sooo beautiful and perfect in my life!
Did anyone notice the delayed standing ovation? I think the delay can be attributed to the shock and awe that the audience experienced that they had to recover from.
It's funny that you said that. I saw Martina sing that song ACAPELLA too, years ago in Hartford CT, and that's exactly what happened. We were stunned, then clapping and crying at the same time. For a second when she finished, you could have heard a pin drop!
I saw her do this song in person. You are exactly right. We were frozen in place for at least a full minute. Then we had to dry our tears...THEN she got her standing ovation. All hail Martina!
I watch this over and over every year, gives me chills and brings me to tears. Best rendition of this song I have ever heard. She has a beautiful voice.
Every year, starting in early December, this song marks the Christmas season for me. I'm a black guy from central Virginia, and Lord knows I have had some hard times for the last 4 years, but for 10 years running Martina means the Christmas spirit to me. I love all types of music, but she has one of the top 5 voices in music, EVER.
Her voice is amazing. I think she and Mariah Carey have the perfect voices to sing Christmas songs. They both have voices that are powerful, yet beautiful :]
Shame on anyone who would give this performance a thumbs down!! Perfect and wonderful voice..I wonder if any of the people who gave a thumbs down could sing like that!!
The ONLY Lady that has rendered me speechless and mute in her presence...and for someone that has humor/education THAT is saying alot! This is one of this planets TREASURES!
Oh my god. This woman is an angel sent here to sing this song. Goosebumps and tears every time I hear it. God bless you Martina! I’ll be back next year same time 2:12 ❤
I sing this song all year long. This is just such a wonderful praise/worship song at any time of the year. Her version is unbelievable! What a gift from God she has🙏
No matter what you believe or place your faith in, a performance such as this touches the divine in each of us. For a few moments, the beauty of a pure voice rising in a paean of joy causes Immanence to smile...
I never comment… ever but this rendition…. I had to comment. The best part is when they pan to the crowd you can see the captivation. You probably could hear a pin drop between notes. And the little girl near the end total entrancement I must listen to this song this time of the year or it probably wouldn't feel like Christmas!!!
I don't like her country music, but everything she does is absolutely flawless. Check out her video where she sang god bless america during the rose bowl. It will blow your socks off.
This song gets me every year when Martina sings it. Such a powerful and beautiful voice. The MOST beautiful version I have ever heard of this song. :) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I know! :) She's so very talented and can touch your soul just by using her blessed and gorgeous voice. A true singing artist can capture you in their song...and she does just that.
Ownage. Pure and simple! Beautiful voice. Gives me chills everytime I hear this! All others who try to cover this after her are noobs! God bless you Martina, your voice got me through the hardest times. Thank you!
Fantastic! Re: kcarp73, I was a little disappointed in that spot as well, but other than that, she did a beautiful job and I became joyfully teary-eyed. I just wanted to hear my favorite Christmas song on Christmas Eve and I'm happy to have found this. Merry Christmas all!
Yay she got a standing ovation! She mostly always gets one anyways. lol. Her voice is sooo pure and real. She's truly amazing. Celine Dion has a voice that is alot like Martina's. There are few people who have a voice like Martina's including Faith Hill. I think Martina is the best tho. That's my opinion so don't judge.

I’ve listened to every singer do this sing and Martina McBride’s version brings tears to my eyes.
Same…and I’m an unrepentant heathen. Brings tears to my eyes. Perfection.
When she sings "fall on your knees" my eyes fill with tears. I can't explain it. It mesmerizes me.
+satchman1965 I had that same reaction.
It's the best line in the song ♡♡
I have the same reaction, every time.
Add me in and I'm a singer.
Somewhere the Lord is listening to this smiling...Best. Rendition. Ever.
Danny B yes. ✨😇
I tell you what, I'm an atheist but when this song is sung by someone who has pipes like Martina it gives me goosebumps. How many other popular singers on radio can nail an acapella version like she can? She is amazing.
Goose bumps for me too, every time.
Not that hard to do I sing it in church Acappella every year
I saw her sing this at the Bushnell in Hartford CT. When she was done it took ten full seconds for people to clap. Except for the sniffling, you could have heard a pin drop.
@@legs404040 Post a link to your version.
@@legs404040 can you post a link of you singing this acappella ? I would truly love to see it.
I come back to this performance each year to see if I'm brought to tears and chills every time.
I think I was at this concert. She was opening for Garth Brooks and it was one of those clear crisp winter nights with big fully snowflakes falling and she said she'd never done this before but felt in the spirit so she sang what is my favorite song acapella.

So very true
Perfection! Martina's version acapella is breathtaking and shows what an amazing artist she is. I cannot get enough of this version and listen to this even outside of the Christmas season.
This song definitely keeps Christ in Christmas! Glory to God!
how can such a powerful voice come from a person that small.
James Monroe It's SO TRUE what they say, "GREAT Things Come In Small Packages"! heehee! :- D :- )
I didn't see your response about the "shock" until scrolling down after my response about the "shock." That HAD to be it, because I don't think they or I have heard anything sooo beautiful and perfect in my life!
A stunning performance captured for ever for us all to enjoy.

The one and only time my breath was literally taken away, and tears came to my eyes while attending a concert. Truly a gift.
All female singers should aspire to being able to sing this song as well Martina. Just her and her alone, with no music to mess it up!
I watch this over and over every year, gives me chills and brings me to tears. Best rendition of this song I have ever heard. She has a beautiful voice.
She is amazing. I don't even like country music, but man, Martina McBride is beyond talented...
Every year, starting in early December, this song marks the Christmas season for me. I'm a black guy from central Virginia, and Lord knows I have had some hard times for the last 4 years, but for 10 years running Martina means the Christmas spirit to me.

#1.....hands down! Celine Dion's version is awesome as well. This just gives me chills....#1
Absolutely incredible. Have you ever experienced something so beautiful you cried, I have...thank you Martina.
Her voice is amazing. I think she and Mariah Carey have the perfect voices to sing Christmas songs. They both have voices that are powerful, yet beautiful :]

That voice stirrrs sumthin in me! YOU BETTER ALL STAND UP!!
Shame on anyone who would give this performance a thumbs down!! Perfect and wonderful voice..I wonder if any of the people who gave a thumbs down could sing like that!!
The ONLY Lady that has rendered me speechless and mute in her presence...and for someone that has humor/education THAT is saying alot! This is one of this planets TREASURES!
What a God given voice that was. Awesome, amazing Martina.
Psalm 21:13
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power!
Years ago, when she was first starting out, she opened for Garth Brooks. She sang this, it gave me chills then and it still does.
I listen to this over and over, so beautiful
Oh my god. This woman is an angel sent here to sing this song. Goosebumps and tears every time I hear it. God bless you Martina! I’ll be back next year same time 2:12 ❤

Steven Ambrose Country is right.
No matter what you believe or place your faith in, a performance such as this touches the divine in each of us. For a few moments, the beauty of a pure voice rising in a paean of joy causes Immanence to smile...
God bless Martina and the way she did that. Speechless. Amazing. No words.

I never comment… ever but this rendition…. I had to comment. The best part is when they pan to the crowd you can see the captivation. You probably could hear a pin drop between notes.
