One woman used her beautiful voice to give a stunning performance of a beloved hymn about Christ's grace, mercy and love.
There is a reason why hymns are still sung and performed in churches all over the world. Yes, contemporary Christian music is catchy, upbeat and made for a more modern audience. However, there is still something different about the lyrics to “Amazing Grace,” “How Great Thou Art,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness” and “Victory in Jesus.”
Most hymns are elegantly and expertly written. Hymn lyrics are written in a short and concise manner but are still extremely powerful and moving, conveying a message either about Christ’s unending love, guidance, protection or faithfulness. So much is said in so little in those beloved church hymns.
In a video posted on YouTube, JJ Heller performs, in the official lyric video, the classic hymn “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.” Her outstanding voice is a perfect match for the song about Christ’s love, mercy and grace.
“Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise”
What absolutely beautiful lyrics!
“Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is not the only old church hymn that JJ has performed. She has several other lyric videos posted on her YouTube channel. “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” and “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” are also posted on her page.
She doesn’t just sing hymns either. Per her YouTube channel, JJ also has renditions of Bill Withers’ classic “Lean on Me,” Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” and “A Spoonful of Sugar” from the Mary Poppins film, among others.
With her music and videos, JJ aims to help others “express emotion so you feel more understood, more hope & more peace,” according to the About section on her channel.
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.”
