In under two minutes, this adorable 3-year-old steals the hearts of many with his precious performance of ‘Amazing Grace.’ Karolina Protsenko, born October 3, 2008 in Ukraine, has become a familiar face to many, particularly to those living in the Santa Monica, California area. Karolina has been busking there since 2017; the family moved to the United States in 2015.

Karolina’s primary instrument is the violin, and she is brilliant! However, during a recent street performance, Karolina’s 3-year-old brother asked to sing with her. His request was one of the most beloved hymns of all time. Karolina obliged and provided the piano accompaniment for his cover of ‘Amazing Grace.’ 

The little man, dressed in a flannel shirt, carpenter pants, and boots, hopped up onto the stool. Notice the yellow band in his hair; it matches Karolina’s bright yellow satin dress and younger brother Leo’s costume—Belle and Beast.

Karolina’s parents are musicians, and her two younger brothers are musically inclined as well. Here, Nicholas is the star, but we think his singing may very well have touched those on the street and watching online with a message beyond his incredible cutest!

Little girls are fascinated by the performers, lingering nearby with a sense of awe. But it isn’t just

the children who are transfixed. Many record Nicholas, and many others simply listen and enjoy his single chorus and verse. Precious little boy! Precious grace!

Our Heavenly Father can use anyone of any age to send a message for His kingdom. There are nearly 450 comments on the YouTube video, which has been viewed 720,000 times!

Among those many praises regarding Nicholas and Karolina’s talent, character, and charm, here are two that speak to the spiritual impact of their public, musical declaration. 

User @carlvaz wrote, “Amazing! What a preacher! I am sure this little one has already converted a few hearts and minds!”

“So very sweet and heart touching. ‘Amazing Grace’ is truly amazing when one comes to know it, just as a child we come to know Jesus Christ in our hearts. This is so beautiful and special,” commented @freddykagin. 

Well done, Nicholas!

“Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!” Psalms 147:1
