A child delivered a powerful “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) performance.” While the young man was outstanding as he sang lead vocals, several others joined in, making for an utterly delightful rendition of the beloved praise and worship tune. Watch the short but moving clip to hear the sweet and lovely performance of “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord).”
When it comes to music typically heard and performed in church, hymns are far, far superior, and there really isn’t an argument to be made otherwise. Yes, I know that opinion isn’t likely to be popular and will also put me in a very small minority. I also understand that many houses of worship have abandoned the hymns. But there aren’t many contemporary Christian songs that can compete with the likes of “How Great Thou Art,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness” and “Amazing Grace.”
Despite my preference for hymns, I am big enough to admit that some contemporary Christian tunes are absolute classics. These are songs that everyone loves and knows, even if they aren’t aware of it. One such song is Matt Redman’s “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord).” Even someone like me, who is firmly in the hymn camp, can recognize the power and the beauty of that song and its lyrics.
In a clip posted on YouTube, a young man, a 4-year-old, and five adults perform a lovely, powerful cover of the praise and worship song loved by many. The little guy starts the song, leading everyone as he belts out the familiar opening lyrics.
“The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes”
May that be the song and the lyrics we’re constantly singing whenever we come up against difficulties and challenges. Even when we face these obstacles, He is still worthy of all our praise and worship.
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
