The reason people are in tears is not just because of the music. It’s because in a day where division permeates our culture you are finding a way to bind us all together not matter race, denomination or political differences. We are united through music and worship of our great God!
exactly. we are all one in Christ
THE BEAT by Allen Parr . Absolutely ! Thanks. God bless you all.
Amen!!!! ❤️
Amen
SO VERY GREAT! 🙏🙌💓
I see people of different nations, age, and races, but God sees His bride!
Ruben Lipoan looks like mostly white to me! God’s bride will be a much better representation of ALL people.
Amen, Ruben! Happy New Year to you! 😊
It is strange to see different race though. There is only 1 human race. You mean different skin colour!
@@trueheart8739 YOU STILL DON'T "GET IT" DO YOU? Maybe at the Great White Throne Judgement you will. God looks at the heart...
this is what God means in John 3:16 !
I'm a South Korean Lutheran! I feel so proud after listening to this masterpiece!
This is what Heaven's gonna be like. People from every nation all praising God together! Except no computer screens involved! Love this. 💞💖✝️🙌🙌
why wait for heaven we have the light love to change the world and create it in the now.
@@patriciaglover703 Very true, we can certainly bring the kingdom of Heaven to Earth, like we should as Christians. Or Heaven culture, as I like to call it. But I'm also super excited to worship with all the Christians around the world in all the ages past, when we get to Heaven after we die. What a wonderful experience that will be! 🙌☀️🎶
I cried throughout this!!! Can't wait for Heaven!
God, was, is, and will ALWAYS will be our MIGHTY FORTRESS🙏🙏🙏
Praise JAH/GOD..
Amen!!
🍃💜🙏🏾💜🍃
Psalm 68:4 is where we find the name JAH. 😊
Awesome! Like a “giant crowd of witnesses” from all over the globe combining their voices in praise to our mighty God!
God’s continued blessings upon you, David!
Absolutely what I was thinking! We are one church in Christ!
It got me in tears. Lets keep adoring. Because while we do it, nothing will stop the Gospel 💖💫💌
you words touches me

Indeed God has His people in every nation, race, kindred and tongue and people! Its amazing i have run out of words. God bless this ministry.
But why would there be a group like you described?
But what would Christians gain from being Christians if we did not really believe what we say we believe?
Are you saying that Christians are being ostracized?
But what about the people who stand against some popular ideas, such as transgenderism and gay marriage? Or the Christians who have been martyred? Google suggested that there were roughly 2.4 billion people who called themselves Christians. Isn't that a big number to be entirely made up of people who are afraid of each other?
This is how humans are really. Not what's in the news. 💘
저 천국에서 우리는 모두 만날 수 있겠죠! 사랑하는 우리 구주 예수 그리스도를 마음껏 찬양하면서요!! 너무나 감동입니다!!! 은혜 충만한 프로젝트 위에 끊임없는 하나님의 기름부으심이 있길 소망합니다
Canada represents!!
Beautiful job on this! So talented and gifted man.
I love the international Kingdom of God.
Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."
It's finally here
A taste of what it will be like praising the Lord in heaven. When we are all together with Christ
A tiny picture of our future home... where the redeemed from every time, every nation, every color, and every age will sing with one deafening voice! May God be forever praised!
Thank you for creating this, brother. We need to be reminded often of what is our true purpose - to give glory to God with our fellow redeemed!
It is quite a thing, that once science fiction-like technologies now make this kind of 'communication' possible. Thank you , David for working so much to bring this about.
...in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good... Rom 8:28
Amen, that's The Word 🀄 and I agree with it.
Good singings
My sister participated in this, very neat how you did that! Great job to all! God bless
"Every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people..."
Beautiful !!!
Yes every knee, nation & tribe will bow down at the feet of JESUS CHRIST our King of kings. Our mighty fortress I love you.♥️
This is what it must be like when we will all be finally one people under the King ♥
Awesome!! Wonderful! I'll be the first Brazilian woman in the next project. Count on me 😁
This is the Church! Thank you and God Bless.
David.... just WOW I think that was the best virtual choir by far. All glory to God that made everything work out, you know David I was born a premi with CP doctors said I wouldn’t reach the age of three I am now by the glory of God nineteen, I’ve had scoliosis and every tine I felt that horrible pain, my mom went to your songs and hearing you sing would calm me down, it was the Lord and you there with me singing those songs so that I can heal, all I can say is, thank you, for everything.God has used your ministry to inspire me in ways I can hardly imagine, God bless, my friend, keep up the great work
Blessed to be a blessing. ;)
He's already won the battle! We are just walking it out! Praise to our King! Our Lord and Saviour Jesus the Christ!
Would we be having all these virtual choirs without this pandemic. God is using this for His glory.
Yes! I made 5 virtual choir projects long before all of this. :)
Well done good and faithful servant. Matt 25:23
Oh My God! It's a beautiful song I never imagine!
Truly A Mighty fortress is our God!
I like how the vocals, music, and video is arranged!
Tenor sounds Great!
In Swahili language (kiswahili) The song is called "Mungu kwetu ndiye Boma"
God bless you Mr.David Wesley for this choir project!
I love the little flags in the corner of the singers’ boxes! It’s amazing seeing people from all over the world come together to celebrate the Lord Almighty.
Wow it’s amazing! 🤩 I’m in tears
Absolutely beautiful ♥️♥️
Glory to our God 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Words cannot describe how Amazing this is!! God is magnified by each and everyone of you beloved people! Glory to our Mighty God!
Heavenly! If this can be created on Earth just think of the joyous sounds we are yet to hear in Heaven awaiting us! God bless you David and cause your ministry to increase 😊. Didn't partake this time but most definitely will in the next as this is an amazing thing to be part of.
One day, and very soon, we will sing together in the presence of our almighty God, glory and Hossanna to Jesus-Christ.
What comes to mind is "in God's image he made man". What a beautiful foretaste of praising our Savior in heaven, all saints together!
David - my first 'virtual choir' of hopefully many more to come! First - THANK YOU - your talent, patience, coaching, persistence, and wonderful production is beyond words!! So awesome!! Tears, joyful singing of this over and again already inspire me to much, much more of exactly what I want to do. Brilliant - can't wait for #5!! I now also follow all of the talented lead singers! Whether I meet any of the other 175 other brothers and sisters singing FtF ever on earth - I trust I will sing "A Mighty Fortress" under your leadership in heaven - FOREVER!! WOW - what a joy!! THANK YOU!!!
I’m in tears watching! Praise God for our family in Christ!!!!🙏🏻
What a blessing! Thank you Lord for leading me to this video.
All praise to our Father , Elder Brother and Spirit that joins us . Thanks to all for the beautiful song.
Oh Wow!♡°•~ Embracing the freedom of our faith! Thank you Martin Luther...and our young brother David Wesley in our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ!!! THANK YOU!
I AM SO EXCITED! You did an awesome job David! Good job everyone!🇺🇸👍🏾🥳😆
Encouraging! Especially since today is Pearl Harbor Day in the US...the day we were brought into WWII. God was our fortress...and still is.
Beautiful voices.....beautiful faces...………...beautiful words...………...beautiful accompaniment......beautiful editing......a gift!
Yesssss. Yesssss. Yesss. David sure hasn't disappointed...Glory to Jesus
Truly God is our Mighty Fortress!
nice work to everyone in this video :)
God bless everyone!
Amazing song freinds God will bless u
I Have to press the Golden Buzzer❤😁
OH MY GOSH! Oh my gosh!!!!! So well Done. Praise GOD! What a mighty work you have put together!!!
This is a taste of heaven. Thank you!
David, I am a Catholic, musician and I sing in my parish here in Brazil. I really admire his work, how he adapts a song his way. Every time I watch your videos, I sing along and it ends up becoming my playlist. May God bless you, enlighten you and transmit this gift that He has given you and unite us with one voice! Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Wow! I definitely want to join the choir for the next one!
This is amazing! I am
amazed especially by the synchronization of the instruments with the voices. 😊
My favorite virtual choir so far!
The most beautiful thing you can watch is the saints praising our dear Lord Jesus and in this case singing a classic of classics written by Martin Luther. A dear brother the Lord used to recover the most foundational truth in the Word of God , justification by faith in the vicarious death and resurrection of the God-Man Jesus our Lord. Thanks for sharing and looking forward for more from this group of dear brothers and sisters from "every nation, tribe and tongue". Hiding in our dear Mighty Fortress!
Our Lord Jesus Christ Lives!
Yes Jesus
Is the light that he is sent to earth as a child to be born in a manger on Christmas Eve to save everyone from their sinful nature. So one day every tongue will confess that he is God and every knee will bow at the mention of his name.
Very nice arrangement! Thank you for working to keep hymnody alive. The theological and musical richness of hymns is being lost. This proves good music and eternal truths can and will endure.
Hardly anyone believes me when I tell them this:
When I was in public high school in 1959-1963 in New York State, we all got to school on Wednesday morning , took attendance, then we all boarded school buses again. The Catholic kids were taken to the local Catholic church, the Jewish kids to the synagogue, and we Protestant kids to the local Methodist church. It was called "Religious Instruction" and it happened every Wednesday morning. This Hymn was one of the many we learned and sang as a group, and we memorized Bible verses and the 23rd Psalm, The Lord's Prayer and others.
My kids still think I made it up, but it was real. Does anyone else remember doing this?
Amen! God bless you
Beautiful work. It's amazing how music brings people from all over the world together!
This brought tears to my eyes! Wonderful job everyone!!!!
A wonderful and inspirational hymn and virtual choir performance! Kudos to all and David Wesley!
Well done to everyone, you did a brilliant job, and my wonderful dad Barry Snowball who took part also, love you Papa.
1
A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevaling.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2
Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabbaoth, His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3
And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo, his doom is sure;
One little word shall fell him.
4
That word above all earthly powers,
No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
Thru him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God’s truth abideth still;
His kingdom is forever.
God Bless and thank you for the words!
Now so many more hundreds if not thousands can sing along and join with Martin Luther and David Wesley and the angels, offering praise unto God and doom to satan!! A greater cloud of witnesses!
Cdd• *THANKS*
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You're welcome guys
Thanks from a life-long Lutheran familiar only with the original LCMS words. For me, this translation lacks some of the majesty, perhaps it's just not what I learned as a child! Luther wrote in German, originally, so it's all good!!....eg, v. 3, the blue book#262...
"Tho' devils all the world should fill,
ALL eager to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear not ill, They shall NOT overpower us!
This world's prince may still
Scowl fierce as he will,
he can harm us none,
he's judged; the deed is done.
One little word can fell him."
Since childhood, I have wondered what word? ?
And then I heard some scholarly guy on LPR claim Luther was asked that, too. He'd laughed and said "Boo!"
A veritable magnum opus. Applause 👏👏👏👏
The virtual choir is incredible and such a beautiful treasure to hear!!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! WHAT A FEAT!!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU!!
Gosh. What an achievement!!!!! I actually cried when I listened to this!!!!✝️✝️✝️✝️💜💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
When we are in glory, I'm gonna go find David, and we'll get everyone in heaven to sing this song at once, imagine the smiles, the grins and how LOUD it will be... the heavens will ROAR.
Ken Arnou YES!!!!!!
Wow is all I can say. Thank you Lord. Well done David.
This fills me with tremendous joy. Praise to Jesus, by who’s blood we are united.
Wowww!!! Watching this virtual choir keeps hitting my mind; 'How beautiful heaven must b' wit all saints together... 🥰❤👌
God bless Ya'll!!! 💐
God is indeed, our mighty FORTRESS in this trying time of COVID-19 pandemic! God we trust in you!
This is so beautiful 😢. Listening from South Africa. Goosebumps!
Me too! Two years later.
Yes - Another gem. Thank you to all of you.
Wow, this is really great! Thanks a lot, David
Jesus is coming and all of us will be able to praise Him so beatifully as our brothers and sisters from this video. God bless your lives.
So enjoyed listening to this!
You have such a talented group of singers and instrumentalist!
God has deffinately gifted you tremendously!
God bless you David!!!
Wow!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🙂🙌🏾❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 God for sure is very well pleased!
What a JOY will it like this in our HEAVENLY HOME?🎶🎶🎶🎺
No wonder your name IS David, multitalented, musician...this is a foretaste of Heaven
I feel so blessed being part of it. ♥️
Beautiful. Love to hear what's coming up next
A child, a child was in this. Oh Lord, I'm in tears.
perhaps next time include a person doing sign language? wonderful work! thank you!
That could be hard to coordinate, but if someone volunteers I won’t say no.
@@DavidWesley I could probably help you with that - not to do it myself, mind you! But to connect you with a wonderful friend of our church in Scarborough, ON. Will try to bear it in mind and reach out when you start to post about the next VC. Could also reach out via the Bob Rumball Centre in Toronto?
I can interpret into Australian Sign Language (Auslan) for you.
Sorry, don't want to be rude, but what would be the point if the person can't hear the music??! This is a music video..
@@pianosenzanima1 Both deaf and hard of hearing people may use sign language to communicate, so a) they may actually be able to hear the music, if loud enough b) they may be able to feel the rhythm / beat / bass of the music even if they can't "hear" it c) the words themselves have a rhythm that's worth being communicated and d) deaf and HOH folks should be able to be part of things if they want and we can include them even of their experience is different from ours. I hope that doesn't come across as snarky - tone is hard to assess in electronic communication. I just tried to think of as many examples as I could of why it would be worthwhile doing. It's basically all the same reasons why, when I post a picture or image on Twitter, I always add a caption for those who are visually impaired and using a screen reader - they may not be able to see the picture, but they'll know it's there, and what's in it. Have a good night!
This was so much fun to be a part of
God bless 🎉
A Mighty Fortress is our God 💖
Amazing!! ❤ Christ's church is so diverse and beautiful! Thank you for all the hard work, David. May God bless you richly.
David you never fail to impress!
It is amazing and exciting to see so many people regardless of their physique singing to God 😄
I’m so proud of your growth as a creator and the beautiful things you create for your community. Congrats, David and everyone involved with this beautiful project.
I enjoyed this so much. Seeing everyone from so many parts of the world come together and glorify our LORD and savior Jesus Christ! It brought me to tears....God bless you all.💗💗💗💗💗
Awesome testament to the body of Christ!
Martin Luther would be proud. I am sure that God is proud of his children coming together to put out such a beautiful piece of work and love.
I could not help but well up with tears. The Lord's anointing is on you to minister to the world in song. Great job brother. I hope to join a future virtual choir.
God bless you David for such a great job and God bless all the musicians/singers. I'm glad to be a believer of Jesus Christ.🙏
I was blessed to see this heavenly choir , I see people from Brazil where I was born !
The Church of God is His people. Nothing much else required.
Absolutely AWESOME and so powerful. Congrats David. Will be sharing this.
Oh wow l am blessed to have participated in this choir. Praise the Lord it sounds beautiful
Who knew that God was preparing us for the New Normal. Thank you JESUS YOU had a man for a time such as this!
