A 2-year-old boy captured hearts nationwide when he spontaneously abandoned his toys to worship with raised hands to ‘The Blessing.’ His genuine response has moved over two million viewers.
Eric and Mandy Godwin have brought up their children in the fear and knowledge of the Lord. And their fruit of labor was evident when their 2-year-old son, Ezekiel was captured worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth.
Eric and Mandy Godwin were simply cleaning their kitchen with worship music playing in the background when something remarkable happened.
Their young son Ezekiel, who they had adopted as a baby, heard “The Blessing” by Elevation Worship coming through the speakers.
He immediately stopped playing with his Little Tikes dump truck, ran downstairs, and began raising his hands in worship.
The Godwins shared this special moment on social media, where it quickly gained attention.
“For 2.5-year-old Ezekiel, it’s more than just background noise…it’s his anthem!” they wrote. They explained that their son’s name means “God strengthens,” which feels especially fitting.
Ezekiel’s story is particularly moving as his parents revealed he had survived two attempted abortions before being adopted into their family.
“From the moment we brought him home from the hospital, we knew he was special. God has mighty plans for this one,” Mandy shared on their Facebook account.
The parents describe Ezekiel as intelligent, athletic, and filled with joy. They note that he especially loves worship music, can “dance better than anyone in our family,” and “loves to pray…with passion.”
The Godwins have six children total – three biological and three adopted. Eric serves as a pastor at Shannon Oaks Church, while Mandy homeschools their children.
Worship is our sacrifice of praise to God, it has everything to do with God and not us. It is not about our performance but all about the glory of God.
As parents, we need to help our kids to be engaged in worship from a young age just like the parent of this 2-year-old did.
