Teen Brings Katy Perry To Worship Singing ‘His Eye Is On The Sparrow’

17-year-old Christian singer Drake McCain moved the three judges on American Idol with his moving audition, but it was clearly Katy Perry who was most affected by his performance.

As Drake’s backstory was presented, the audience learned more about this remarkable young man who worked in a grocery store to support his mom and 10 siblings.

His singing was on point as he performed “His Eye Is On The Sparrow.” Later, when Judge Luke Bryan mentioned “Oh Happy Day” from Sister Act, Katy Perry was inspired to belt out this iconic number, with Drake joining in.

Drake McCain received the coveted ticket to Hollywood. We can’t wait to see what this talented young man will perform next.

Verse of the Day

“And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ””
