Fantastic Bluegrass Cover of 'When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder'

Get ready for some good ole bluegrass talent. Check out this fantastic bluegrass cover of ‘When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder.’

Whether you are a bluegrass fan or not, this video will entertain and amaze you. We see a group of six adults and teenagers sitting outside under the outdoor lights at dusk. Amo Raber’s band begins to play the introduction, making you want to dance. The banjo and the fiddle especially shine. Then, as Amos begins to sing and the harmonies join in, the song is stunning. They are all so talented. What is even more amazing is watching how they glorify God with their voices and instruments.

‘When the Roll is Called up Yonder’ is a famous hymn. The chorus sings:

‘When the roll is called up yonder,

When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.’

This is such a simple yet profound message that those who have accepted Jesus are secure eternally in heaven. Faith in Him leads to eternal life, yet how could we, as sinners, be forgiven and brought into God’s family? Listening to this song reminds us of the hope that we, as believers, have in Jesus. 

The upbeat music gives us joy and celebration that we are His. It causes us to want to clap, dance, or stomp our feet. Watching these young instrumentalists is incredible. They are skilled musicians. Amos’ voice is professional and radio level. This group not only is talented, but they all appear to have genuine happiness while performing together. They are worshiping God and thanking Him for eternal life through song. We too can join in. This video will no doubt bring a smile to your face.  

“Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” Luke 10:20
