I’m still young so I shouldn’t even be thinking about this yet, but I’m realistic so I know I could go at anytime, so this is the song I want played at my funeral. I want everyone to know how happy I am and how joyful it is where I am in the presence of Jesus!
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (June 1), I filled in at a local Presbyterian Church. I played this as the Hymn of Dedication.
How can you not stand in awe of a wonderful God? I always tear up when I hear this song. This song is the anthem of my faith and my journey with Christ! What a great Savior!
while I am not of the same belief , these words transcend human and touch the soul. after receiving a profound epiphany this am, I suddenly noticed I was singing this song.. had to come onto you tube to hear it. wonderful rendition
I hope you one day listen to the words of this song and are moved into salvation by it. I pray you would one day really be joyful in the love of God. Be blessed.
i love this song,and he is a good singer,i sing this in my choir at church and i'm trying to remember all the words,cause i'm doing solo God bless you all! :)
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (February 3, Epiphany 4), we sang this as the Opening Hymn. It is #836 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. - Romans 15:13
WoW! This is the first time I heard Michael Smith sing this. The Holy Spirit put this song in my heart. I came to hear Sister Act 2. I listened, then I saw Mr. Smith's post. I tell ths is powerful and Heavenly. Thank you for this post. It lifted me to a height unknown. God bless you "daveyunger". May Heaven shine upon you. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

The third 🥉 week of Advent is JOY and Merry Christmas ⛄🎄 Go HUG someone today IF they're been vaccinated or not 🚫 Greet all the Christians with a Holy EMBRACE 1 Thessalonians 5 26 and do it responsibly Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
I was able to find it...finally. It's on the album "My Utmost for His Highest" with other artists. I found it on iTunes and it's available as a single. And OLLEnatior, you're right. Religion normally is quite pathetic. But God isn't about religion, he's about relationships. I serve a risen King, and I walk in freedom. Whether you know it or not, you are loved and treasured by your heavenly father (unlike the imperfect examples of fathers we've had on earth).
Cindy Hartman YES Ma'am ABSOLUTELY!! We serve a risen savior he's in the world today... he lives,Christ JESUS LIVES TODAY HE WALKS W/ ME,AND TALKS W/ME,ALONG LIFE's narrow way. He LIVES WITHIN MY ❤️ HEART 💕 Were you there when they crucified my LORD? Contrary to belief,HES VERY MUCH ALIVE-FOR HE IS NOT HERE,HE HAS RISEN. I Will come again someday... don't be afraid. That tomb is empty because our LORD AND SAVIOR IS VERY MUCH ALIVE,JUST AS MUCH TODAY AS HE WAS THEN AND HE WILL BE FOREVERMORE.
What Michael W Smith Album is this one on? I looked at his New Hallelujah Album on Barnes and Nobles website and it did not list it as being on there, but it did list a CD Rom track as number 16. and this one is not on Itunes at all. where did you get this song from? I like this
This is a lyrical adaptation of an oldie by Beethoven from symp. #9. Although I think he was inspired by a poem called "Ode To Joy" which has very different words.
I'm not sure I like this one. Frederich Schiller's words were powerful even without the music. The music Beethoven added to Schiller's words were the gold standard for all time, so powerful that Henry Van Dyke was able to come up with his own words to Beethoven's music and it still came close to the beauty of Beethoven's "original" This guy kept Henry van Dyke's words, but came up with his own music that did not measure up remotely to Beethoven's.
I do not like this version. Beethoven is one of my favorite composers. I do not understand why people think they can improve on what he wrote. I'm not saying that all performances have to be exactly the same, but people can at least sing the notes that Beethoven wrote.
Using Beethoven's most beautiful piece for this lyrics? I don't like it. I'm a Christian btw. Beethoven's 9th talks about brotherhood, unity, joy. The melody is supposed to be for all races, all religion. I'm so sorry, I don't love this "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee."

Imagine hearing this song in heaven being sung by trillions and trillions of people and angels .
what a beautiful voice this singer has!

We had this song sung at our wedding in 1980. The memory improves with age.

Honey, does this make me look fat? No, i like pear bonding...
Why can't anybody just sing it like it is in the hymnal? Where is the music that doesn't make ocd people cringe and hate? =/
I'm not sure I like this one.

But this song is quite good.
He believes in You. Amen

momo15 well sorry but the rewrite was over 150 years ago sooo yeah
momo15 If you think this _isn't_ for everyone, then clearly you're _not_ a Christian.
