An immensely talented quartet, Brothers of the Heart, shows off their awe-inspiring musical gifts with a moving and upbeat performance of an old and beloved Christian hymn, “Will the Circle be Unbroken?”

There is always pain and grief whenever a loved one passes away, regardless of the surrounding circumstances. It does not matter if the death was somewhat expected and came after a long, grueling health battle or out of the blue. The hurt stings and is real. But for followers of Jesus Christ, that pain may not hurt as much.

Christians understand that death is not the end. Heaven awaits those who confess their sins and believe Jesus Christ is Lord. In a clip posted on YouTube, Brothers of the Heart perform “Will the Circle be Unbroken,” a tune about losing loved ones but awaiting a joyous reunion in heaven.

“Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, yes, by and by
There’s a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky”

In the song, a beloved mother passes away, and her children are absolutely devastated. They are understandably left in tears and pain as they mourn the passing of their mom. But despite the hurt and heartache, the upbeat and uplifting chorus reminds us and anyone who may be going through a loss that death is not the end.

Because of Christ’s brutal and undeserving death on the cross, and His resurrection, everlasting life with Him is a possibility. As the song mentions, “There’s a better home awaiting” for those who confess their sins, turn from their ways and follow Christ. Death, thanks to Jesus Christ, holds no power. 

At the end of the band’s performance, the audience reacts with much-deserved cheers and applause, giving the guys a standing ovation. 

Psalm 23:4 “Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.”
