Viral a cappella voice Seth Yoder performs the iconic hymn ‘Amazing Grace.’
Authored by John Newton, this beloved hymn was written as a way of giving thanks to the Lord after God granted John new life. As a sailor, John was known for his crude language and actions.
But one day at sea, John found himself caught in the middle of a terrible storm. John spent hours at the helm of the ship battling the waves and his thoughts started to turn to God.
After surviving the weather, John started his life as a Christian and dedicated himself to serving the Lord. The beautiful words of ‘Amazing Grace’ were inspired by this incredible moment of self-revelation.
“Amazing Grace,
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T’was blind but now I see”
Seth Yoder is a talented artist known for making a cappella worship covers on YouTube. On his website, Seth wrote about the inspiration behind his unique a cappella sound. “I would simply like to connect already amazing songs with this niche style of music that is contemporary a cappella. What better way to do that than sing in a way that reveals our Creator and enriches the lives of those who listen?”
Today, he is belting out the words to ‘Amazing Grace’ and it’s absolutely beautiful. There is truly no better way to praise our Lord than through joyful noise.
Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
