Children's Choir And A Cappella Group Sing Christmas 'Let There Be Peace On Earth' - Staff Picks

You’re going to want to put this beautiful, uplifting, and refreshing song on repeat! Imagine dozens of children’s voices harmonizing about peace on earth with none other than the Children’s Choir joining an A Cappella Group for the Christmas Melody, ‘Let There Be Peace On Earth.’ Aside from the lyrics and the joyful voices harmonizing, the video is incredible. The video is set in a beautiful barn church with a gorgeous color palette of grays, soft pinks in a space full of light and Christmas decorations. I could literally just sit in this beautiful space for hours. But then, there’s the magic of a group of youth singing about peace on earth. It fills your soul with a refreshing nourishment of hope! I especially love watching the part of the video when the kids joyfully race down the stairs to sing, “Let there be peace on earth.” Because we have been living through some hard times, namely a pandemic, this song is absolutely what every soul needs to hear. I couldn’t agree more, let love be the song that everybody sings this time of year. Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me Let There Be Peace on Earth The peace that was meant to be Indeed, we need peace on earth. We need more hope, more love, and more love. I love how the lyrics remind us that it starts within each of us. No matter where we are, what we are doing, and what we are facing. Let it start with you Let it start with me Let every nation rise And sing this melody This video was recently posted to YouTube and it is going viral with over 26,000 views already and dozens of comments. One comment included a few of our favorite people, a father-daughter duo, Matt and Savannah Shaw. They posted, “What an amazing collaboration to ring in the Christmas season! We LOVE VP, Rise Up, and so fun to see our favorite Mikayla rocking it! Beautiful everyone!” Another viewer commented, “This is so beautiful and beautifully sung!! The Merriest of Christmases to you Rise Up Children's Choir and BYU Vocal Point!!” Rise Up Children’s Choir teamed up with BYU Vocal Point, a singing group formed in 1991 through Brigham Young University. Together, these two groups give a refreshing and incredible rendition of “This Is My Wish,” originally performed by award-winning R&B artist Kevin Ross. It reminds us of the incredible gift humanity has ever been given, Jesus. Let this song sing in your heart throughout the entire Christmas season. I know it will be in mine! “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
