[josparkes1]

Just incredible, beyond mere words - thst passes all understanding !

[DungeonSeigeMaster]

I wonder why KLTY hasn't played this for like 2 Christmas seasons

[Somespatanwarrior]

I bet it must be fun being the uploader. Ever Advent/Christmas season he gets a spike in views and ratings haha

[Rekaha2]

Perfect video to my favorite song. Watched it twice in a row and sent to family and friends. Thank you for making this.

[Baybeeprincesspink]

Love it!

[vinteriors]

Wow! Powerful.

[birthofeternity]

This song and video are pure beauty and bring tears to even me, an atheist. I do respect Jesus though I don't believe in God.

[dancingdewdrop]

@birthofeternity you are blessed :) !

[kkkkkkatherine]

@birthofeternity With all due respect...I need to tell you about Jesus Christ :

`

"10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole... 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4

`

Please seek Jesus Christ - your Eternity depends on it....kate

[jhr459]

@birthofeternity - that's OK - I believe in the original, 'no child left behind'. you're alright.

[xLoliChiDesuu]

I love that movie! <3 Mary is so beautiful.

[MrLegoPirate]

this is one of my favortie christmas songs. I think that it is nice

[heaveniscoming]

That was such a joy to watch... Thank you

[georgiadream93]

I absolutley love this version, they do an amazing job.....Praise be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ....who loved us enough to come and be born, knowing that he would die....Thank You Lord <3

[adamdeweber]

did you take a screen shot of your tv for this footage?

[justus3llp]

@adamdeweber Yes... sad huh? Lol... I want to re-do the whole thing using the same timing, but better quality footage. Maybe someday I'll get around to it. :)

[cate3261]

@justus3llp I really like the effect of the video, kind of grainy and rough, it gives it an effect that really works well with the music.

[servantinHishouse]

@nickal25 Wow, why would you use profane language when you know that those who view your comment are predominately Christian.

[xxblackmagnoliaxx13]

@servantinHishouse Personally I'd pray for that troubled soul. Matter of fact, I will. Giving in to a temptation to use such as that is a common plague to modern society. It's rather sad.

[crbuff1]

this video is amazing. is there a way i could download this to take to my church?

[basicaa]

Wonderful version of an amazingly worshipful song.

[rcmcf7]

@nickal25 Different ways to spell it

[MrThecookiemonster2]

Thanks:D

[xxblackmagnoliaxx13]

I LOVE the use of Hatikvah in there. Goregeous traditional hebrew melody.

[CrystalLeaf0998]

Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL violin piece

[velvetnotes009]

Come LORD JESUS...COME.....WE YOUR PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR YOU...COME.....COME....

[MrThecookiemonster2]

Can somebody tell me what movie this is from? Thanks!:D

[t4mil1an]

@MrThecookiemonster2 The Nativity Story - it's in the description of this video :)

[anointedma]

@MrThecookiemonster2 The Nativity...it's beautiful and very realistic

[anointedma]

@MrThecookiemonster2 THE NATIVITY,very realistic and reverant

[rockyracune]

What a treasure this song is! The video is wonderful!

[myk9styler]

Amazing video. You did such a great job. Using it for my blog if you don't mind. Keep up the good work.

[mageman06]

0:18 ...shivers, that's the only way to describe this song

[ThePillarFanatic]

Breathtaking

[333thepsyko]

If any1 wants a miracle find the verse where that happened God Is Good ALL THE TIME

I love jesus

Jesus loves me!!

[SarahCharles18]

Beautiful video!

[omnizimri]

i love love love the incorporation of hatikvah

[XsweetxsacraficeX]

I would have liked a much slower, more reverant hymn-like version, instead of some modern sounding, over-produced, glossy version of this song, yet the way they incorporated a somber-sounding, near Shindler's List theme, Hatikvah (national anthem of Israel), was actually stellar and genius in the way it kept coming back into the melody.

[americanfella]

@XsweetxsacraficeX It has nothing to do with rejoicing the birth of a Savior. It has to do with the masses praising the Artist with record sales.

[FangnclawXD]

Good job on matching the clips :)

[MrVidal777]

I think this video is a true Nativity song .



[jackiemd221]

the music is the Hatikva -THE HOPE- israeli national anthem,the movie is the Passion

[justus3llp]

@jackiemd221 The movie is actually The Nativity Story (very well done movie) but the Passion is amazing also!

[spacebaby1000]

@jackiemd221 And the music may be from a 15th Century French processional for Franciscan nuns, but it may also have 8th Century Gregorian origins :)

[spacebaby1000]

@spacebaby1000 (originally)

[indianjoentp63]

Wow, what an awesome job, you've done! Thanx so much for sharing this, for this is truly the meaning of the season! Gotta love it!

[kavtoM]

Bless you! I've been searching for this version of the song for ages. You made my day beautiful!

[country116r]

what movie are these clips from? i forgot and i want to watch it... thx!

[MongZong]

@country116r The Nativity Story

[MadMaxi793]

It is believed that the traditional music stems from a 15th Century French processional for Franciscan nuns but it may also have 8th Century Gregorian origins. :) its simple beatiful and strong song..

[Sausens]

Oh my. I'm in love!

[Therese100109]

Verbum Domini Manet in Aeternum

[februaryjacqueline]

Thank you for making such a beautiful video and sharing it with us! We are using it in our music blog project ''Worship Gloriously' at aanbiddenglorieus.blogspot.com

[TalkAboutLove2]

I was moved by this video! I shared it on One Year Bible Blogging on facebook with the following group of verses; Note the similarity in scenery between the stories: Mat.27:66; "So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard." Hosea13:14a; "I will deliver this people from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death." John 20:13; "Woman, why are you crying?" Daniel 6:22; "They have not hurt me... I was found innocent in his sight"

[jameskjoshua]

we all must sing this every day, not only on christmas sesons.

thank you selah, god bless u.

[chopitshop]

beautiful song we sang this song last sunday at church one of the things i enjoy sharing with my daughter and grandaughters is worshiping the lord together

[MrSteven123456777]

[linkzoo]

God bless.

[scarletskie]

You did a beautiful job. Thank you for sharing.

[captaingavtron]

Awesome songe mate! This is by fr the best version of this song that I have ever heard. Great job ya'll. I will be looking for more of ya'lls music. You can count on that mate.

[Layna8]

I just found this arrangement of this beautiful, timeless carol tonite...and I rate this on a scale of 1-10...an 11!

What an amazing arrangement and impeccable vocals!!!

Never heard this done better by anybody...

I have heard of Selah be4, but, have never heard much of their music...but, this one makes me want to go out and buy their music, and especially, the album this carol is on.

If this didn't get a Dove or Grammy, it, by golly, deserves one!!!

Congratulations Selah! A Standing O!

L.

[wella61]

Shalom shalom, a beautiful rendition of this popular classic dressed in the blessings of HaTikvah. 'I will bless those who bless thee' amein.

Please pray for the shalom of Yerushalyim x

[notfauxnooz]

This is the best Advent song ever. This particular rendition is pretty good - I like the Hativa incorporated. However, I think the singing it is a bit too 'Christian Pop'-ish. There was a rendition done by a group of monks that sung this the best ever, but I can never find it.

[bubblinbubblybubbles]

Holy Cow, they switch keys TWICE, going DOWN a half step. This is fantastic!

[bubblinbubblybubbles]

Hoyl Cow, they switch keys TWICE, going DOWN a half step. This is fantastic!

[micifuz100]

Is the author of this video Jewish/ Christian?

[justus3llp]

@micifuz100 I am a Christian.... with a love for the Jewish people.

[compinchin]

@justus3llp great answer, God bless

[riosfamily12]

riosfamily12 All true Christians must know the Jewish people are our bretheren.

[bigfishmustfry]

@justus3llp - Thou wild olive branch grafted onto the stump of Jesse! Good response. How can a scion not have a love and reliance upon the rootstock.

[justus3llp]

@bigfishmustfry Exactly! I am grafted, and happy to be so. :)

[hicksi61]

@micifuz100 Christian: The Jews were given just one gift to give to the world and they rejected him. Now they are condemned to a futile wait for another Messiah who will never come. While they fight the Muslims for control of the world they do not realise that Jesus will return to claim his possession and share it with the least deserving of all - Christians! It is by grace you have been saved!

[riosfamily12]

all true christians must love the Jewish people.

[thegrigorutashow]

@micifuz100 It's Christian. Selah has another song called O the deep deep love of Jesus 

[ruchi750]

is that the tikva i hear in the backround?

[pearlgrl2010]

@ruchi750 is that that song that basically every jew knows or something? because i'm pretty sure i learned how to play it on the violin! its so pretty

[robb4cubs]

@ruchi750 Yes, it is the Tikva....I found this out from comments posted last year on youtube. I think it is such a beautiful way to meld the story and Jewish heritage to Christ and Christmas.

[justus3llp]

@ruchi750 It is Hatikva, yes. The Hope. It is the Israeli national anthem. Very, very beautiful isn't it?

[bonncaruso]

@justus3llp Yes. Hatikwa - Hope - Hoffnung - Esperanza - Nadja

[whiteFoxButCute]

@bonncaruso  - Naděje in my language. So beautiful word!!!

[birdhunter402010]

@justus3llp yes it is...one day I would like to walk the roads that christ walked,and see what he saw.

[birdhunter402010]

@justus3llp yes it is...and one day I would like to walk the streets of Jerusalem,as christ did.

[cutiepie2992]

Favorite Christman song, Favorite Christmas movie.. perfect

this version makes me cry.

[mills06518]

I think this is the most amazing version of this song ever I have ever heard... thank you so much for putting this up

[imsoninja]

I don't think that they were claiming to know when He is coming back. We know he is coming back. They were making a statement that they look forward to the day when Christ returns!

[templarioterra]

Chritsmas, the most wonderfoul time of the year. I love Christmas

[g3g3ify]

I love reading comments from people who know how to say all the things in a way that get through to people. I wish I could.

[PrincessSparkle333]

The song and video are both amazing :)

[PrincessSparkle333]

This song and video are amazing :)

[GuyFrets]

Fabulous!!! Like most Selah arrangements, this one is magnificent. It captures the haunting, yearning spirit of the hymn while expressing inspiration, reverence and a host of powerful human emotions. I love this recording. Bravo!!!!

[MsEmma51]

wonderful,uplifting and heartwarming

[ditte3]

Beautiful.I like that it's mixed with the melody of Hatikva, The Hope.God bless you.

[tham2891]

To illustrate the condition of man's soul there is no better song than this.

[gettier25]

AMAZING 

[killphilvolume2]

papyrus

[laimesunda]

this is my absolute favorite vid on youtube of a Christmas song. I fell in love with the song arrangement and the beautiful scenes. Thanks for posting!!! 1000000 *'s for you!

[eddyerkelens]

From wich movie are the images/movies of?

[justus3llp]

@eddyerkelens It's from "The Nativity Story" - which is an AMAZING movie. I highly recommend it.

[andergar0001]

@justus3llp I found the movie after watching your video and I have to say It was amazing. It renewed my faith

[justus3llp]

@andergar0001 Awesome! I LOVE that movie. So well done.

[lookforthelight]

favorite Christmas hymn EVER!!! I just wish we would realize that it's not just for Christmas. This should be the hymn we sing to ourselves every day. Because one day He will come and this time not as a baby, but as THE KING!!! I can't wait for that day, because it is that day that we will finally see the true glory of God, oh what a day it shall be.

[justus3llp]

@lookforthelight Yes, yes, yessss and Amen!

[pearlgrl2010]

@lookforthelight

except its an advent song ;)

but yes i agree!

[bonncaruso]

@lookforthelight : just a small correction. Not a christmas hymn. It is an advent hymn, to be sung only before Christmas, but not at christmas.

[lookforthelight]

@bonncaruso Granted, but why? Are we not still in Advent? Christmas is a reminder that He came once, but He left with the promise to return.

[Nickidewbear]

It was actually a Shira-Hanukkah, a Hanukkah song. We waited for 'Emanu'el even as far as the 5th Century and even to this day. But many of us also wait for the day when the menorah won't be the neriot that we light: we look for Whom is the ner-ha'shemash.

[jas340]

Hatikvah (Hebrew: הַתִּקְוָה‎, lit. The Hope) is the national anthem of Israel. The anthem was written by Naphtali Herz Imber, a secular Galician Jew from Zolochiv (today in Lviv Oblast),[1] who moved to the Land of Israel in the early 1880s.

The anthem's theme revolves around the nearly 2000-year-old hope of the Jewish people to be a free and sovereign people in the Land of Israel. (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

[elavaney]

The hope of the Jewish people is their Messiah, not a free and sovereign land.

[pammyk]

In a sense, it is both. They long for the Messiah so they can have a free & sovereign land, do they not?

[Randy08ray]

wikipedia is not a good informational site

[fruitikay]

did you know that the intro to this song on the violin is actually Israel's national anthem? Yep

[dimstar4now]

Ready? Jesus Christ returning May 21, 2011 4 Judgment. C dimstar4now if u care.

[AbigailAdams1]

No one knows when Christ will return - there is no way to know the date or time. This is a false statement that only confuses and misleads. Look to what we do know about Jesus...read the historical accounts of the Bible. If you accept Jesus as God's Son who died and rose again to set you free from sin, there is no need to worry about when He will come back - because you're already His.

[justus3llp]

Well put. Thank you.

[Hmoob54321]

@AbigailAdams1 you are wrong. it is not a false statement. as you can see no one does know the time or date. it is a fact. and you do need to worry, because most christians are still in their sin. It is a warning to stop your sin. Even though you are already his, you might push him away allowing you to fall away. Do not call a statement and verse in the bible misleading or false.

[justus3llp]

@Hmoob54321 Sorry to interrupt you two, but it seems that you have misunderstood each other somehow. Abigail is not wrong... the Bible does clearly state that no one knows the day or the hour of Christs return (not even the son) - so if Jesus doesn't know, what makes anyone think they do? Lol... Hmoob - she was calling a previous POST false and misleading (dimstar4now - above her), not the bible verse. Read carefully before attacking fellow believers. We're family after all. :)

[Hmoob54321]

@justus3llp oooooooo.....i feel stupid now.... hahahaha. i did misunderstand. Sorry abigail, sorry person. haha. wow.... please forgive my stupidity. haha. God bless.

[tsimm97]

Very true

[katietey]

@AbigailAdams1

True, for we are already His.

Amen.

[DanielKoons]

What an unbelieveable song. I aso just watches the movie, really gives some depth yo an already deep song.

[southernsong]

just watched this movie.... now this song and the film clips makes the hair on my arms stand up... thank you!

[FreeBritain1]

This is gorgeous, thanks.

[NOberon11]

um....paganism and Catholocism are two very different religions.

[elavaney]

Great video. What is it??
