Maybe a lot of people have already seen this, but for those who haven't, this will set the goose bumps all over you.... If you have Stereo Head phones, even better.

Absolutely wonderful Molly; not the first time that I've heard these guys sing either (someone shared a vid of them on either another forum, or, I got an email link; can't remember). :)

No matter how much I listen to these guys the goosey bumps never fail. Simon did something right when he discovered them. I have all their albums downloaded and burned.

My Grandmas, Moms and Wife's favorite song.
Every time i think of how God helped me to quit drinking and smoking i hear this song in my head.
I play it a lot on my guitar too.

Thanks Molly.
These guys did a beautiful job and the bagpipes sent a chill down my spine.

This is one of those songs that make you want to kneel in front of God and thank Him for all your blessings in life. :)

Nice, but won't beat a whole stadium (40.000 people...) singing it to "push" their team to the goal line. Sends shivers down you spine, even where they are supposed to be your opponents...

I've heard them, they're really good. They're my wife's favourites. For most of my life I thought that song was perfect, then I heard This version. I had trouble with someone changing the words then I decided that since the original tune was forgotten and the current one was added later, then it was ok to change the words too. Now the one I posted is by far my favourite. I still think the song is perfect if one understands it. Because of the risk of turning this into a theological debate I won't say any more about it.

Love the Chris Tomlin version gms! We play that in the church's praise and worship band quite regularly.

Il Divo is without a doubt some of the most talented guys I can think of. I'd like to hear them and Celtic Woman together, it would be magic. But Sarah Brightman is absolutely THE best. Every time i hear her sing I close my eyes, not because she's ugly, she isn't, she is as pleasing to the eye as to the ear but when she sings I don't want anything to divert my sense of hearing from her exclusively. I can't listen to her without having tears in my eyes at the end.

My wife heard them and said no way, but then she looked them up and we were both awestruck. I favorited them too.
