@audy3009 I think you guys did a great job. My high school men's choir also sang this song. You sang it as it should have been sung. Great job!

I kind of like this version. I hear what everyone's saying about how it's supposed to be a soft song and it's supposed to be pleading, but this is a song painting a picture of war and hate, not just sadness and grief. I loved the "Jesus help me"'s, they sounded like you really were crying out for rescue.

Beautiful!!

For those who feel this arrangement lacked emotion, I feel compelled to mention: I was in the audience for this performance. Many people--in the audience AND in the choir--were moved to tears, myself included. Even if the choir members did not all feel it individually/ unanimously, I believe that as a whole, the emotion was present. Perhaps you had to be there.

@BrookeXoXo112 No children were used they were highschool girls

despite any crap you guys are getting, this is great

The childrens voices have to be my favorite part, I've never heard this arrangement before. But overall, your choir did wonderfully =]

I love this song, My womens choir sang it in high school. I love your entire approach to it with the intro and the slide show.
But you guys are missing the biggest thing that MAKES this song.
emotion. feeling.
There is no feeling, your just singing words.
This slide show would have been so effective in touching people had the choir just obtained a sense of sadness, and emotion.
Note this was also recorded from over 200ft away. Hence the excess noise.

for those who said we "attacked" this let me clarify since i was in this choir...we sang it as if the children who died were to sing it...all the pain and anger they must of felt...but thank you for noticing the more assertive approach
