Sounds Like Reign Moving ‘Near to the Heart of God’ Performance

Sounds Like Reign has turned in a moving “Near to the Heart of God” performance. This is a gentle, yet powerful performance of the hymn that is near and dear to the hearts of many. Watch the short but inspiring performance of the classic hymn “Near to the Heart of God.” It’s so beautifully performed that you’ll find yourself listening to it repeatedly.

This world is a wild and chaotic place, full of disorder and utter dysfunction. Hurt, heartache and sorrow abound; seemingly everywhere we look, someone is desperately searching for even the smallest amount of hope. They want some kind of reassurance that this hurt, this suffering, will not last and that experiencing even momentary relief is possible.

Those in the world will look here and there for answers. They will try that or this fix, hoping it is the permanent solution they have been seeking. Sadly, when that turns out not to be the answer they hoped it would be, they are right back where they started, and their hunt for rest and restoration continues.

However, there is an answer. There is one who can take all that hurt, all those painful memories, grief, suffering and make something beautiful out of it. In a clip posted on YouTube, Sounds Like Reign sings “Near to the Heart of God.” That’s the place where restoration can and does take place, where the weary can find rest and the hurt can find relief and comfort.  

It's a beautifully written hymn that tells of God’s love for the lost and what He freely offers if they would repent of their sins, forsake their former way of life and turn to Him.

“There is a place of quiet rest,
Near to the heart of God
A place where sin cannot distress
Near to the heart of God”

All, whether they know it or not, are looking for such a location – a place of rest, of comfort and where joy and peace can be found.
