Get ready to be spiritually encouraged by this worshipful video. Dan Herner begins to sing this moving hymn written many years ago about a poor young girl who passed away from illness and who had never missed Sunday school. Watch his stunning a cappella cover of ‘When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder.’

The song is full of real emotion from when it was written, but also strength and confidence in our savior Jesus for providing eternal life to all who believe, even the youngest of children. The chorus sings out:

‘When the roll is called up yonder,

When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.’

Dan starts out singing in four-part harmony with himself, as seen in multiple video clips placed together. He is very talented and has such a natural blend. The song is hopeful and a reminder that the role called in heaven will include the names of every follower of Jesus. We can have great confidence that Jesus’ work was enough for our personal sins. He tells us that our names are written in the book of life. 

As you listen to the words of this song, may it motivate you to examine your own salvation. If you have placed faith in Jesus, you can thank Him for your name written in His book of life If you have never accepted Jesus personally, may this song lead you into a moment of repentance and accepting His gift of salvation on the cross. He is so glorious and we are secure in Him.

“And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.” Revelation 20:12
