One man, Michael Eldridge, put his stunning, God-given musical talent on full display with a fantastic and awe-inspiring a cappella cover of the beloved hymn “When We All Get to Heaven.”

Contemporary Christian music is wonderful and popular at the moment. Most people would and do prefer those songs over the classic church hymns. Additionally, many churches completely ignore the hymns, opting to play and perform only Christian contemporary tunes.

In my opinion, the old hymns are far and away better than any contemporary Christian tune. Everyone has their preferences, likes and dislikes. But how could you ever beat “Victory in Jesus,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness” and “Amazing Grace?” You cannot do it. While those hymns may be hundreds of years old in some cases, they still say more and have much more feeling and meaning than any modern Christian praise and worship song. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, one man gives a stunning vocal performance as he sings one of those beloved hymns, “When We All Get to Heaven.” You’re likely more than familiar with that hymn, but it’s a classic and still played and covered for a reason.

The chorus is simple but so iconic, memorable and powerful.

“When we all get to Heaven

What a day of rejoicing that will be

When we all see Jesus

We’ll sing and shout the victory!”

As a follower of Jesus Christ, if those lines don’t get you excited and pumped, I’m not sure anything will do the trick. 

The goal is to get to Heaven, reunite with loved ones who have gone before us and finally see our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In four short lines, that hymn manages to capture everything that every Christian is looking forward to seeing and doing.

John 14:2 “In my Father’s house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?”
