The SBC Kids Choir performs a stunning cover of the popular worship song ‘Amen.’
The song was first released by Christian pop duo for KING & COUNTRY on their 2018 album Burn the Ships. Luke and Joel Smallbone wrote the anthem alongside Seth Mosley and Matt Hales.
Luke actually came up with the idea after a church service. He heard a minister talking about baptism, and he felt this strong urge to be baptized again as an adult to publicly declare his faith.
The message of the song is all about the symbolic transformation of a new believer after baptism, leaving our old sinful nature behind and starting a new life in Christ.
The SBC Kids Choir is part of Seattle Bethany Church North in Everett, Washington, where they serve a large Slavic community. Over the last few years, these kids have built a massive following online with some of their worship videos reaching millions of views around the world.
You are probably familiar with the SBC Kids Choir through their viral performance of ‘Jesus is the Lord.’ That music video has been viewed over 13 million times since it was published a year ago. What makes their performances even more beautiful is their dedication to singing for the Lord.
Most kids their age are caught up in play and everyday distractions. But these young ones spend hours learning the lyrics and music of songs they may have never heard before. They show up for long practice sessions, leaving their favorite things behind, all to bring glory to God.
It amazes me to watch them worshipping God with such discipline and maturity.
In this performance of ‘Amen’, they bring the same energy as their previous performances. Their voices soar like little angels on earth lifting up the name of God. The harmonies they add in the choruses make it come alive.
These kids are sharing a powerful message about how important it is to get baptized. It is not just a ceremony or a church routine. When you get baptized, you are standing up and publicly declaring that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and that you belong to Christ.
Romans chapter 6 tells us that baptism is a symbolic representation of burying our old life in the water and rising up with a brand new life in Jesus.
Jesus Himself told us why we need to be baptized when He said in Mark 16:16, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” He also said in John 3:5, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”
We do not know how many days we have left, so let us be prepared for the Lord’s coming. If you have not been baptized yet, today is the day to make that decision.
