‘Because He Lives’ In Hebrew and English At The Garden Tomb

A group of musicians performed a beloved hymn in two different languages at a special location in the Middle East.

Hymns are beautiful pieces of music that have been played in churches for decades. Their powerful lyrics and messages are immediately evident from their opening verses. Those choruses are memorable and get stuck in the head, lasting for several days. Hymns such as “Amazing Grace,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness” and “How Great Thou Art” have the unique ability to move even the most stoic person to tears.

In a video posted to YouTube, Joshua Aaron and the musicians backing him up performed the classic hymn “Because He Lives” at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. However, this performance is made even more special not just due to the musicians’ location. Joshua also performs the song in Hebrew.

The small crowd who has gathered to take in the dazzling performance loves what they're hearing. Many sing along, mouthing the words as Joshua beautifully belts out the lyrics. Several of them even hold out their hands and arms in praise and reverence.

“Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives”

Praise God. He does live! The stone has been moved and rolled away.  

After first singing the song in English, Joshua ends the video by singing “Because He Lives” in Hebrew. While many English speakers may not understand that language, Hebrew is still a beautiful language to hear. 

At the end of the musicians’ performance, the crowd peering on shows their appreciation by giving them a hearty round of applause.
