    My wife showed this to me a few years ago when I was going through a particularly bad patch of PTSD, anxiety and depression (yes, I'm a vet). She told me to imagine it was her singing it to me, she just held me and we listened... There were tears, as there were tears watching your tears in your reaction. There are no words to describe how I feel about this rendition.

    Kim, So Hyang has always struggled with her health during her
    lifetime with those many illnesses..
    uterine cancer, hepatitis, chronic pneumonia, etc.. The night she sung You Raise Me Up
    She just got out of Hospital and was advised Not to sing...So she did that....lol
    It's really a miracle this one of the most skilled vocalist of all time could be
    in such poor condition. And definitely she is much more than great technician
    and has Perfect Control of Her Gift...and Her singing is so special.
    So Being a Cancer survivor And still gets sick from Time to time. But is an Amazing Artist
    who gave up a Kpop career to sing for the Lord and for the Love of Music instead of stardom.
    She learned English as a Child from Disney Movies, which inspired her to Write two of her
    Books...(both Published and there are more).
    Also And Publicly thanks Mariah Carey for teaching her everything she Knows about Music ...
    that is some Testament to The Power of Music
    Kim So Hyang's vocal type is a Full Lyric Soprano. Her showcased vocal range spans
    from D3 to A6 (consistent supported range from G♯3 to E6),a total of three octaves,
    three notes and a semitone. According to So Hyang, the highest note she can sing is
    an E♭7. This means that she has an overall range of approximately four octaves and
    one semitone. However, this range hasn't been showcased to its fullest extent yet,
    as the highest note she has publicly showcased is A6.
    AS FANS AND ADMIRERS WE PRAY FOR HER CONTINUED IMPROVEMENTS IN HER HEALTH

Her ability to connect with the lyrics and the essence of a song allows her to deliver performances that touch the hearts of her listeners.

      Sohyang only records for a small South Korean Gospel label, as far as I know. Though _all_ of the big labels have tried to snap her up--for obvious reasons! Sony Music US is the last we know of back in October 2020, the second largest music label in the world. She told them, politely, "No thank you, I don't want to be that famous." And Sohyang has also said she simply could never keep up with the concert schedule they were demanding, due to her health. Personally, I wish her and David Foster would produce a concert of her covering all of her great performances that are available here on RUclips. He is nuts about her and could swing this sort of deal and promote a Blu-ray of the concert everywhere in the world, and finally let everyone know who the greatest female singer of our times really is! 👌😉💘😎
      PS A number of people have told me that Sohyang's music is available on Apple's digital music sales site, and also on the other big digital music sales sites.

    So Hyang is GREAT, however what makes this song sooo special is the arrangement which she writes / coordinates. It is, by definition, a southern American gospel arrangement, and I believe that this performance was actually part of a church service in Korea. Many church songs are arranged this way. Three components are needed for an epic performance: great song, great voice, GREAT arrangement, with the latter being super-critical. There are about 3 additional layers of stylistic "hook" (syncopation, up-tempo, rich orchestral) in this song as a result which is splendidly captivating. In addition to So Hyang's masterful performance is the equally MASTERFUL arrangement. Solid stuff. Btw, that is a G5 she is hitting full / mixed voice. Impressive with unbelievably-technical skills on full display. Well done!
