A group of incredibly gifted and skilled musicians, The Collingsworth Family, turned in a dazzling a cappella cover of the classic tune “Sweeter as the Days Go By.”
Those who have welcomed Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior know and understand that this is not the end. It is simply the first step, the beginning of a Christian’s walk and relationship with the Lord. There will be many more ups and even a few stumbles and falls that follow.
However, that person will grow in their faith and learn more about Christ over the course of that relationship. Through prayer and reading the Scripture, that individual will increasingly rely upon Him, seeing His hand at work in their lives and those of others.
In a clip posted on YouTube, The Collingsworth Family gives a terrific and inspiring performance of “Sweeter as the Days Go By,” in which the only instruments used are God-given: their voices. It’s a performance that you’ll want to watch and listen to repeatedly. Their harmonies and how all their voices work together are astounding, creating an almost angelic sound.
The song describes a Christian’s walk with the Lord and how their faith and trust strengthen every day that they serve Him. The musicians sing about how they experience God’s love, mercy and grace in a richer and richer way than they did the day before. Those who have been serving and following Christ for years understand this to be entirely accurate.
“It gets sweeter as the days go by
It gets sweeter as the moments fly
His love is richer, deeper, fuller, sweeter
Sweeter, sweeter, sweeter as the days go by”
What a spectacular performance and display of musical talent, but an even better song that perfectly describes a walk with the Lord.
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
