Earth Song' A Cappella Performance From VOCES8
The beautiful voices from the members of the choral group VOCES8 perform the soothing song ‘Earth Song’ by Frank Ticheli.
“Oh war and power, you blind and blur, the torn heart cries out in pain
But music and singing have been my refuge, and music and singing shall be my light
A light of song, shining strong, hallelujah, hallelujah”
The singers are incredible and the way that all of their voices blend together is magnificent. What a wonderful and peaceful sounding performance!
“Your music speaks directly to the soul!” comments one person on the YouTube video. “Thank you for sharing your gifts with us and bringing a sense of calm.”
“Such beautiful singing. Thank you so very much for bringing some peace and light to these troubled times,” writes another person about the video.
According to their YouTube page, the VOCES8 Foundation “works to inspire people through music and is one of the leading vocal music education charities in the world. The organization is responsible for hundreds of professional concerts each year around the world, and it runs “an innovative and wide-reaching education program reaching 40,000 young people every year.”
We hope that you were able to find some peace while listening to this lovely song, and check out these Bible verses below that focus on God’s peace.
Isaiah 26:3-12
3 You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. 4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal. 5 He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust. 6 Feet trample it down- the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor. 7 The path of the righteous is level; you, the Upright One, make the way of the righteous smooth. 8 Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. 9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. 10 But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and do not regard the majesty of the Lord. 11 Lord, your hand is lifted high, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame; let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them. 12 Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.
Matthew 11:28-30
28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
