What happens when hundreds of voices unite in a breathtaking Hallelujah performance? Two things: a world record close to being broken and the hearts of everyone fusing together in love over one song. If you haven’t heard of Choir, Choir, Choir, I am so glad to introduce you to their music. They don’t just perform on stage; they make the audience a part of it. The Epic Anthems Sing-Along is in Vancouver, where the sold-out crowd was united in song. The night was filled with powerful performances of classic anthems, but the moment that stole everyone’s heart was the stunning rendition of Leonard Cohen's ‘Hallelujah.’

When music touches our souls, barriers fall away. In that crowd, there were no strangers—only friends united by the love of song. Choir! Choir! Choir! has a gift for bringing people together, and the impact was profound. The power of a shared experience in the midst of music is nothing short of miraculous.

1,800 hundred strangers came together to sing the words of a troubled king wanting to praise the Lord. 

You know, when I hear the line about the "secret chord" from Hallelujah, I’m reminded of the story of King David. 

“Now I've heard there was a secret chord, That David played, and it pleased the Lord. But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth. The minor falls, the major lifts. The baffled king composing, Hallelujah.”

King David was a man after God’s own heart, and music played a huge role in his relationship with God. That secret chord? It’s like this hidden connection between our souls and the Lord, a powerful, almost mysterious force that resonates deep within. Sometimes, life leaves us feeling baffled, like a king composing a song of praise in the midst of confusion—but still, we offer up our Hallelujah. And it’s the only thing we can truly offer in praise. The beauty of it is that it doesn’t have to sound beautiful to us or be perfect–to the Lord–He wants our honest, deep cries. All of it, the good and the bad. 

Do you know what I love most about a moment like this? God knows our hearts and voices. He knows each of us so individually and so deeply. He loves and knows the hairs on our heads, what we're thinking and what we’re facing. Your hallelujah is just as powerful alone as it is with hundreds of others. 

Psalm 150:6 "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!"
