The One Voice Children's Choir, a group of incredibly talented young people, gave a heartfelt and moving performance of “To Live.”

Everyone alive for any significant amount of time knows and understands that life will beat you up. Some situations will leave you battered and bruised, pushing you to the brink. Life’s valleys can be extremely dark and seem never-ending at times.

However, no matter what we may be enduring or going through, God is still loving and always faithful. He provides shelter and comfort during pain and heartbreak. He offers rest to the weary. He always loves and understands the situation. He is always bigger than any problem or troubling circumstance we may encounter.

In a clip posted on YouTube, The One Voice Children’s Choir sings “To Live.” It’s an uplifting song with an encouraging message for anyone experiencing one of life’s many storms. Giving up is not an option. God is still in control, working things out for the good of those who follow and love Him. 

The song’s opening verse is the perfect message to anyone experiencing something overwhelming and unbearable: Keep going.

“Wake up, chin up, your moment has just begun

You’re still young, have fun. Best days are yet to come

Got love around us, giving what we can give

We’re all still here, to live”

Life is not all roses, rainbows and never-ending happiness. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. There will be painful and heartbreaking periods and instances when you experience immense, indescribable grief and sorrow. 

Nowhere in the Bible are we ever promised a life full of happiness. But it does say that God is faithful and loving, remaining by our side through everything. He also works for the good of those who love Him in all situations.

Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.”
