Chris Rupp has turned in a soul-stirring and moving a cappella cover performance of “I Will Rise.”
Life is an unpredictable series of events. One minute, you could be on top of the world, loving life while experiencing the highest of highs. Then, the next, you could find yourself in one of the darkest valleys, going through immense pain, hurt and grief.
Anyone who says they can 100 percent predict what will happen from one moment to the next is either insane, a liar or probably a little bit of both. Life can be a rollercoaster ride, changing directions without a moment’s notice. It’s enough to wear and fray on the most sane, well-adjusted person’s nerves.
Thankfully, through everything that life may throw at us—all the ups and downs—we can have and experience peace. Christ offers peace, love and comfort during life’s many storms, promising never to leave nor forsake us.
In the video above, Chris gives a fantastic a cappella cover performance of “I Will Rise,” a song by legendary Christian musician Chris Tomlin. The tune’s beautifully written lyrics emphasize that Jesus Christ has won the victory over death and the grave. He has won the ultimate victory.
“Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead”
The lyrics add that when He calls us one day, we will rise and go to our heavenly home. It will be a place where there is no more sorrow, pain, hurt or grief. There will be no more tears shed when He calls us home.
What a wonderful and joyful thought! Heaven will be a wonderful place where we’ll be able to reunite with those loved ones who have gone on before us and finally see Jesus Christ Himself.
Revelation 21:4 “And he will put an end to their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.”
