There’s one song that’s tucked itself away in our hearts since it became a hit in 2011. It’s the kind of love song that doesn’t fill space–it fills your very soul. And that’s the breathtaking experience you’ll feel when you watch the Rock Choir at Pershore Abby as the choir delivers a chilling and beautiful rendition of ‘A Thousand Years.’ 

The soaring voices reverberated through the ancient stone walls, carrying the weight of centuries of history, hope, love, and God’s eternal promises. 

Christina Perri made A Thousand Years Famous by singing it for the climactic scene in the Twilight saga, ‘Breaking Dawn,’ when Bella walks down the aisle to the love of her life, Edward. The moment captured every memory of the two together as they were about to become one for all time. 

The song alone is breathtaking but added to the scene, it wrapped its way into our hearts and reminded us of the one our souls love. It’s not just a song but a prayer–a longing to be wrapped in love, a desire to live within a moment that lasts forever. 

And in the grandeur of the Abbey, the voice of the Rock Choir–the song became a perfect symphony that you can’t help but hum along to. Each voice of the choir carried a sense of awe. Every note seemed to stretch towards eternity as the choirmaster enthusiastically called on each person to carry the notes. 

The moment the choir sang–the captured the hearts of fans online with over 46,000 views. One viewer wrote, “I couldn't stop watching… loved the conductor's expressiveness. Great arrangement and how all the voices complimented each other.”

Another added, “I found the choirmaster absolutely entertaining!! Some stand like a statue, but this one lives along with the music! Well done!!” 

Our favorite quote that sums up the song and the performance came from a fan who added, “I loved this so much! LOVE the conductor! LOVE the arrangement! The choir and the building is gorgeous. The song is how I feel about my love. Thank you all!” 

As the final notes lingered in the heart, there was a quiet knowing: music has a way of touching our hearts in places that words can’t reach. In that beautiful sacred space, this song wasn’t just heard–it was felt. We hope you felt it, too. 

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs."
