A rock singer’s stunningly beautiful cover of ‘Hallelujah’ guitarist will give you chills. This reimagined version of the beloved ‘Hallelujah Chorus,’ adds a thrilling and thoroughly enjoyable rock twist, making for one epic musical performance. The incredibly talented musician gave the timeless Christmas piece an updated sound and feel. Check out this video because this version of the Christmas classic is more than worth a few listens.

The season of twinkling lights and candlelit carols slips away too soon, doesn’t it? The stockings are tucked back into storage, the nativity scene carefully wrapped in tissue, and we’re left standing in the quiet of the winter months, longing for something steady, something bright. The magic fades, and we’re desperate for warmth, for a glimpse of hope to carry us through. We’re ready for spring, for the warmth and sunshine. 

But then comes along Erik Growell, who has a sacred gift as a soul-awakening guitarist. Once he steps out onto frozen, covered fields, the stage is set about what is unfolding. He sings like nothing we’ve heard before as he reimagines the sacred Hallelujah Chorus. Not a whisper, not a hushed echo of a cathedral choir—but an anthem in the middle of a snow-covered, frost-layered field. A thunderous, electrifying cry that lifts weary hearts and sends a surge of something fierce and holy straight through your chest.

For those who know Erik’s story, this moment holds even more weight. Once a rising rock star, he faced a devastating leukemia diagnosis that threatened to take his voice, his music—his very life. But grace met him in the fire, and he fought his way back, healed and whole, his voice stronger than ever. And now, he stands here, guitar in hand, offering up a ‘Hallelujah’ that whispers right to your heart and helps is rise above the frozenness of life. 

This isn’t just music—it’s light breaking through heavy clouds. It’s the ache of winter meeting the promise of spring. It’s a reminder that even when the world feels dim, even when we’re worn from the weight of waiting, there’s still a song to sing, still a reason to lift our hands in worship.

Because the story of Christmas isn’t just for December, the Hallelujah still rings through January. And February. And even March.  And every valley and mountaintop in between.

So turn it up, let it shake your soul. Let it remind you—hope is still here. Hallelujah still reigns.

Psalms 98:4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
