Dan and his 12-year-old daughter, Gracelyn, perform an acoustic medley of two beloved Christian anthems, ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘Give Me Jesus.’
The Power of ‘Amazing Grace’
‘Amazing Grace’ is a hymn that has touched countless hearts since its creation.
Written by John Newton in 1772, the song tells the story of redemption and God’s unfailing love.
Newton, once a slave trader, experienced a profound transformation after encountering God’s grace. He penned these words to reflect his gratitude:
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
This hymn reminds us that no matter how far we may stray, God’s grace can save us.
When Gracelyn sings ‘Amazing Grace’ with her country-style voice, it brings a fresh and joyful touch to the classic hymn.
Her voice, filled with youthful enthusiasm, invites us to rejoice in the Lord, who has saved us from death and given us eternal life.
The Comfort of ‘Give Me Jesus’
The song ‘Give Me Jesus’ is a traditional American spiritual that dates back to the early 19th century. It is a heartfelt plea for Jesus to be with us through all of life’s moments.
In the morning when I rise
Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
Give me Jesus
Dan and Gracelyn’s performance of this song brings us to a place of quiet reflection. Their gentle guitar play and Gracelyn’s calm voice set the best setting to put our hearts to God. It’s a beautiful reminder that, in the hustle and bustle of life, our deepest need is for Jesus.
A Family United in Worship
This father-daughter duo is part of a Christian family band called The Kingdom Here. They share their musical talents on their YouTube channel, where they describe themselves as “a traveling family worship band that wants to use their gifts, talents, and abilities to worship Jesus and help people see the goodness of God.”
Seeing this family come together to worship God is a true blessing. It shows us the importance of using our talents to honor God and encourage others. As we watch them, we are reminded of the joy and peace that come from worshiping together as a family.
Living as a Godly Family
God desires for families to thrive in faith. He wants us to spend time together in His presence, using our talents to glorify Him. Worshiping as a family strengthens our bond with each other and with God. It creates an environment where faith can grow and flourish.
Inspired by this family, let us dedicate time for family worship. Whether through music, prayer, or reading the Bible, spending time with God as a family is a powerful way to nurture our faith. We can use our unique gifts and talents to serve God and bless others, just as this family band does.
