This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. To think what hell these children might come from, and to see how happy they are to be on stage singing, is one of the most powerful things I've ever seen.
I just realized how lucky I am to have clothes on my back, food on the table, and a roof over my head. Some people don't realize it but I do. Please pray for the millions of kids who are starving and fighting to survive.
how not to like this song when you hear those little men raising their voices to the heaven praising our good Lord....beautiful it`s all I can say...BEAUTIFUL
***** These aren't homeless kids. If you adopt any of these kids you are taking them away from their parents.. Africa isn't a desolate cesspool of aids and homeless kids with guns.
This choir was started for kids who didn't have homes. I still wish I could have them. I know Africa is not full of terror and poverty but there is still a ton of poverty and war in the country.
willkurr But Jesus did. Btw. you can't prove God doesn't. Nobody can prove he does. So where is the point now writing your comment here? Yes, you obviously don't believe in God. But who cares? Nobody attacked you,
I'm hosting three girls from the choir right now, and they aren't just wonderful singers--they're the most incredible kids I've ever met. So sweet and inspirational. :)
Oh that’s so awesome:) I bet that was such an amazing experience for both you and the girls! I know this comment is extremely late but I couldn’t help it. This was such a magical performance. I revisit it often.. and I hope they do as well- they should be extremely proud of themselves. They bring tears to my eyes every time I listen to it.♥️
All I want to know is why 74 people did not like this? This has touched my heart to the core. When I am down I listen to this and it makes me feel much better.
When I hear this beautiful song it makes me weep ...I lost both my parents six years apart, which left a huge whole in my heart....hearing this song reminds me of how the Lord carried me through it all and that too makes me cry how faithful he is to those that seek HIM...
There is nothing faked in this video, neither the unbelievable joy the kids are havin nor how touched Josh is by them. I love this video more than any other one on youtube I have seen yet. And of course it made me cry aswell. Awesome performance and it´s true what two other users were saying: nothing compares to young voices´ eonthusiasm and that these kids are feeling more joy than any 1st world child could feel or express.
I cannot believe I came across this video by accident, it warmed my soul and instilled a hope for our future generations, I so wish the people of the world could mature and learn to love and tolerate each other in the pure and real spirit of God. Thanks kids!
They are asolutly adorable! every time i whatch this, i get the chills those kids must have been through so much and they go on stage with everybody whatching, and they just give off the nicest smile in the world. They are the ones teaching us how to save the world.
These kids just look so joyful....their radiant smiles beam a light across the heavens. Their obvious joy and love of life are inspirational. They seem to have a depth of appreciation that we, often spoiled, Americans can only aspire to achieve. Please, PLEASE teach YOUR children what these precious little angels already have!!
I was fortunate enough to be able to see the African children's Choir perform at a church and they are so beautiful and sweet. It was a very touching evening.
I really think our world needs compassion, feelings for humanity ...God Almighty made us each one in His Image. God is LOVE. This music, children ...prove this...
Terri Wilson amazing but what is so sad to see america hate for black and muslim people. when i listen to your National Anthem i start to cry because america as we know it is so divided thanks to Donald Trump and his Republican Party who promote hate for these people. So sad.
Indeed this is amazing, God direct me to this. It is definitely not accident but His way to encourage me to stand up again and not stay in the current state. Our God really know what we need, His grace is sufficient for everyone of us and His Love is always with us even when we fail and move away from Him. Thank you Lord, Amen
Inappropriate to see the radiant happiness of a singing child...? Can't you see that smile represents the hope these children have and despite everything they do still sing and smile...it makes me feel good about life to see those beautiful kids' teeth!
I'm in tears of Joy to hear Josh whenever he sings this "hymn", also giving to others of himself, his faith as the composer of these words. Why ? I feel he wrote this as my life giving story, (also because Josh too was raised in the Episcopal Church family and God's Communion of humanity in his early voice training, Josh Groban's gift he shares with those who benefit from God's. gift of heavenly Love and Heart's longing for all of us; no matter what our own story is or was). Allow me in the Episcopal Church to share this as well, .........it's true. Thank You Josh, another artistic voice for us. + + +.
i never get bored with this video since how many years back.. it touch my heart.... there is only 1 race in this world that we should realised.. its called human race...
It gives me the shivers listening to this song. A truly amazing and powerful voice on Josh's part and all the little African children with their missing teeth just make you smile! :-)
Those kids go on tour for a year at a time. my church has had them come quite a few times. they're amazing bunch of kids. they sing AND act like angels. some of the stories they lived would break your heart but they're so happy to be alive and be singing. its a great group. If you EVER have the chance to see the African Children's Choir; i STRONGLY recommend it.
I remember seeing the African Choir come to my church to sing when I was a kid! Years later when I was in College taking a summer Music Class to try to earn extra credit. I was struggling with a Potential F. When I had to present my Final exam on any kind of music topic, my Mom suggested I write and present my Paper on the African Choir! She told me how this program helped turn many of these kids lives around after they witnessed horrible things. This program helped turn their lives around when they got older! This presentation project brought my final Grade up to a B+ at the end!
We were all given voices meant to praise God. Josh and these children just do it so well. I couldn't hold back the happy tears hearing this now as I couldn't the first time I heard it.
the kids are very energized! they have cute voices, as boys :D....josh had raise them up, to keep standing and not giving up, and theyre strong when theyre on josh's shoulderr....josh looks like he really love children when the kids hug him!
I love Josh Groban he is like an angel-God Bless Him and those beautiful children for giving us such joy to hear and sing this beautiful message to the Lord Jesus Christ....I Love You!!!!!
This is by far the most amazing performance I have seen. It's beautiful. When I saw this years ago on Idol Gives back, it just made me cry. Everything is perfect about this song.
such beautifull bright smiling faces children all over the world are so precious the world is tired of wars and fighting if we could put as much energy into drying every eye of every child across the world and make sure they never went to bed hungry ,or worried or afraid god would smile down upon all of us
the kids... omg, i couldn't help but cry when i saw them! even before they started sing themselves, which only made me cry more!!! this is just beautiful...
I sang this song last night at Applebees at a Karaoke Show in Akron Ohio by South Arlington Street. I dedicated the song to the African Children's Choir with Josh Grobin and the Crowd at Applebee's Just Cheered Me On and felt so Great to sing that song! I just found out the African Children's Choir is going to perform at a Church in Akron Ohio! I am planning on going, but I want to call the Church if I need to make a Reservation, which is November 5th, 2014. Any Questions you can send to my UA-cam Channel under SingingTimberwolf, Thank You!

SingingTimberwolf what you did definitely an act that should be honored on the NEWS! Your support and kindness is inspiring!

just seeing those kids makes me cry, those beautiful kids with their white teeth and beatific smiles... and then they start to sing? oh my God
The African Children's Choir is amazing - and they really are so lovely!
I just realized how lucky I am to have clothes on my back, food on the table, and a roof over my head. Some people don't realize it but I do. Please pray for the millions of kids who are starving and fighting to survive.
I'm not gonna lie, this made me cry, it's so beautiful
I realize I am kinda off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Graysen Micah ehh I use flixportal. just google after it :) -darren
@Darren Jayce Yup, been using Flixportal for months myself :D
@Darren Jayce thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it !
@Graysen Micah you are welcome xD
how not to like this song when you hear those little men raising their voices to the heaven praising our good Lord....beautiful it`s all I can say...BEAUTIFUL
He is SO talented. Not many people sound as spectacular live as they do on CD. He is one of the very few people who do.
the smile of these kids, feels heaven to me
I wish I could adopt all of those kids. They are so cute. When I see their face, I truly see Jesus
***** These aren't homeless kids. If you adopt any of these kids you are taking them away from their parents.. Africa isn't a desolate cesspool of aids and homeless kids with guns.
This choir was started for kids who didn't have homes. I still wish I could have them. I know Africa is not full of terror and poverty but there is still a ton of poverty and war in the country.
***** Well, thanks for educating me, my fault for not researching a subject before I speak. Now I feel embarrassed. ._.
Oh I don't care it's fine
willkurr But Jesus did. Btw. you can't prove God doesn't. Nobody can prove he does. So where is the point now writing your comment here? Yes, you obviously don't believe in God. But who cares? Nobody attacked you,
This is the best moment of any American Idol season by far. Three years later and I still cry and get goosebumps by the beauty of this performance.
It is 2022 and this song still makes me teary and the children smile still makes me smile through my tears. So beautiful..
I'm hosting three girls from the choir right now, and they aren't just wonderful singers--they're the most incredible kids I've ever met. So sweet and inspirational. :)

GOD knows how to touch us all, we are blessed to know that HE watches over all of us good and not so. Thank you.
This is absolutely beautiful and so are those children. I honestly got chills while watching this.
This makes me cry :´) The children sings so beautiful
Could these children be any more sweeter just their smiles says it all
Now this is a natural flowing voice, not forced or exaggerated like today's singers that like to scream on the mic
All I want to know is why 74 people did not like this? This has touched my heart to the core. When I am down I listen to this and it makes me feel much better.

If anything ever brings us together as one people, it will be the children.
These kids just look so joyful....their radiant smiles beam a light across the heavens. Their obvious joy and love of life are inspirational. They seem to have a depth of appreciation that we, often spoiled, Americans can only aspire to achieve.
Please, PLEASE teach YOUR children what these precious little angels already have!!
They all sounded wonderful and you could tell the smiles on the kids faces were GENUINE.
It looked like they had a really great time singing it :')
I was fortunate enough to be able to see the African children's Choir perform at a church and they are so beautiful and sweet. It was a very touching evening.
Look at those angels, How my heart is melt
Josh Groban Handsome and kind heart
so stunning perfomance with those children.
May the heavenly father bless you with those kids
My Heart has heard a Glimpse of Heaven ~~~

@@millyarscott8656 it’s not because of trump, that’s how the media portrays him. He’s not racist.
I´ve hardly ever seen a kid look as happy as they do :) Made me cry.
Indeed this is amazing, God direct me to this.
It is definitely not accident but His way to encourage me to stand up again and not stay in the current state.
Our God really know what we need, His grace is sufficient for everyone of us and His Love is always with us even when we fail and move away from Him.
Thank you Lord, Amen
Amazing! Groban is always outstandingly good and the kids are very sweet. Gotta love this!
So beautiful :'). God is good
Same god that bestowed so many children from Africa with AIDS?
Inappropriate to see the radiant happiness of a singing child...? Can't you see that smile represents the hope these children have and despite everything they do still sing and smile...it makes me feel good about life to see those beautiful kids' teeth!
The boy front left just brightens my day :)

Those children are just adorable. it made me cry :)
This is hands down the best version of an already gorgeous song.
"SMILE" on the tender faces makes my heartstrings come undone...
A piece of me feels broken after watching and listening to this. There is still hope to make the world a beautiful place where all can coexist
those huge smiles, big white teeth and angel voices. awwww.
the children all have very beautiful smiles. And all look so adorable when they're singing
We were all given voices meant to praise God. Josh and these children just do it so well. I couldn't hold back the happy tears hearing this now as I couldn't the first time I heard it.
Amazing and absolutely beautiful. Cry every time. The children are so sweet.
This song is an inspiration to everyone who is willing to fight with gods help.
The kids' smiles makes me happy. And oh this song and Josh Groban, this is perfect
God bless these little children.

A combination of the voice of an angel, with the FABULOUS African Children's Choir -- ultimate perfection.
