Prepare to hear a timeless song with a new twist. Watch this soul-stirring a cappella rendition of ‘The Old Rugged Cross.’

Right from the beginning of this video, we see a variety of people all different ages singing out the first verse. They each are worshiping and some even close their eyes as they ponder their Savior on the cross of Calvary. You then realize that as you look at the background, this group is singing over the water. The peaceful water is shown behind them. 

They all perform strong harmonies in the chorus. The sweetest part of this video is seeing the different faces of the choir members singing. It reminds us of the precious gift of the church body. We all come together from different ages and backgrounds to worship the one savior Jesus. As they head into the third verse, we hear beautiful high sopranos down to strong and bold basses. Each singer is valuable and their voices come together to make one stunning worship song.

Watching this video will inspire you. You might only have one voice in this world, but it is significant and useful to the kingdom of God. We are all valuable in Christ. He can use us and our unique giftings for His glory and to love others well. This choir exhibits unity, joy, and encouragement. They clearly are having fun and are genuinely worshiping together. Witnessing this group of believers singing together gives us a special reminder that the Lord gives us the body of Christ so that we can better glorify Him. There is power in the community of the church. 

“For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.”  Romans 12:4-5
