On the morning of Friday 2nd of March, i was invited to perform for a group of students at the Institute of Religion at Utah Valley University in Orem Utah. It will be a day that will not easy be forgotten. Before i got up to give my presentation, a choir filed neatly into position behind me and began to sing. From the first note, all my senses was grabbed hold upon by a heavenly sound that left me breathless. I had to do a 360 turn to see who it was singing. I didn't take my eyes off them until they had finished. By the end, i was overcome with tears. It's lucky i don't wear mascara
During the musical presentation, i felt a strong witness of the spirit, telling me i needed to take this choir to the studio and record the song they sang with them.
Thanks to Utah valley University Institute of Religion for allowing me to hijack 70 choir members who all boarded the bus at 3.15am and travelled over 150 miles to arrive in time to shoot at first light.

I am a proud Muslim and I really love this song!!!! No matter what religion you are we all believe in God (Allah in Arabic) !!!!! Alex you are awesome!!!! Hope one day people will just stop hating each other because of religion!!!
Mahmmud Yousef I agree. We need to understand God is God. It really doesn't matter what name we give him
Mahmmud Yousef you all are my children, Pallah, p is a symbol a union of Lord Adonai, and Lord Adonai Hosanna, my Father and my son. Yes, Muhammad Muhammad was my deliverer as a babe, Ishmael my neighbor. I brought Wormwood to the CDC in 2016 after America sprayed 22 gallons of Roundup into Gods beating heart with a message from Adonai Christ, we are going to exodus,rapturing now all must be converted to babes in the Holy Mountain Chundua a jerusalem netanyu has not the real one
Mahmmud Yousef Abraham loves All Islam, Judaism and. Christian, the covenant is a bond of atomic light beings a here in the heart of agora we must move to new jerusalem above this one will crash down,
@@blancaconejo4290 So your aware Christ come before and was Krishna hence the name coming through greek into Christos .. Christ. it is all one.
All gods are equally fictitious so it would be silly to hate over them.
It's become my tradition to watch this video every Easter. It captures the glorious essence of Easter and what Jesus has done for us. Thank you all for such an impactful, beautiful song!
“I hear the voice of many angels sing: Worthy is the Lamb…”
Why is this significant? It’s because these angels are more like God than most of us are - so they know exactly what they’re talking about.
It’s not an empty hallelujah. It’s not rote praise. These “many angels” spoken of in Revelations are bowing because they know what it takes to loose the seal. And regardless of how mighty they all are, they did not “prevail.”
Only the Lamb could do it.
This worship is so meaningful, I can’t get through that part of the song without being overcome.
i am from Namibia, Southern Africa and i absolutely love this song. It's my first time hearing it and i am in-love with the fusion of all the voices..

What a beautiful tribute to the most important person who walked upon this earth. The one person who will always love us unconditionally no matter what. Our Savior Jesus Christ. He is the best partner you could ever have in your life. Thanks for downloading! Thank you!
Touching words, amem!

Hello Christians, I'm an atheist and I have to say... this song is beautiful. Still don't believe in it's message but bravo. It's going on my phone and I will rise to it as my alarm now.
My the various deities of your lives bless you and may this guy keep making music for everyone!
Hello atheist! I'm a Christian. I think that is one of the nicest things I've ever heard anyone say. And how clever to put it as your alarm. May God bless YOU! And yes I hope Alex keeps making lots more music too!
You don't need to tell us you are an atheist, it doesn't matter, you are loved anyway.
Sorry fr you.I know some people just don't believe .but once he comes into your soul .An Yu experience Jesus Love n his word,Holy Spirit ,it's most wonderful beautiful ,hard put into words the Beautiful wonder,when Yu have close relationship with God. Glad Enjoy this music ,lv hear Alex sing touch my heart.
What's the point of this comment 😬🙄
I hope you never walk my walk...yet...It Is Well with my soul.
Voices of angels. I was so overwhelmed with emotion I cried imagining what our world could be if we all rose and came together in unity like this. Peace and love on earth.
Chris Tomlin must be so proud that his already amazing song became even more amazing
Someone give this man an award for the amazing videos he is putting together and how he is promoting unity.
I’m moved, spiritually, what a message, what voices, what beauty is bestowed on my soul!
It's a shame that you can't feel God's love and his spirit after hearing such wonderful music.
Who on earth hits dislike on a beautiful thing like this
Comfort Osaro Those in need of prayer of the saints.
Dear Mr. Boye - I have watched this many many times, shared and shared.. This is such a gift to the world. Worthy is the Lamb! Thank you is not enough.. please keep making music, you are an amazingly kind and gifted musician/artist/humanitarian and we need more of you!

We will rise, because He is risen! What we have to look forward to! Thank You, Jesus.
I'm an atheist , still I find this absolutely breathtaking.so beautiful there's no denying it.
WAXX MASS May God bless you by touching your soul, spirit, heart, mind and body through. Hallelujah!
WAXX MASS so much more our spirit search for purpose in life and why mankind excited in the first place.... 🤔🤔🤔🤔 yes we can't control or denied warm feeling or the truth ...keep searching keep follow good feeling...
Viliami Latu God is NOT dead call him and he will answer.
Sadly, there is no such belief. Almighty God has given us the witness of our conscience and the witness of his majesty in creation as confirmation that he abides ever watching the affairs of man.
The truth of God as revealed in the Lord Jesus Christ defeating sin in the flesh and waiting for the appointed time in which he shall judge the works of man according to the will of his father.
But, except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish.
Jesus said I am come that they might have life.
Nothing in this perishing world can compare with the love of God as revealed in Christ Jesus.
Beauty doesn't require belief, you just have to know it when you see it.
Mr Boye in my darkest moments this made it well
"many angels sing
"Worthy is the Lamb"
And I hear the cry of
every longing heart
"Worthy is the Lamb"
Wonderful!
I will rise . when they call my name , Holly spirit filled song, arise with the lord Jesus christ , the Victory is won........

das ist das schönste Lied was ich in meinem ganzen leben gehört habe danke für dieses wundervolles Lied
The grave is empty He has RISEN
THANK YOU FOR THIS SONG
I use to be deep in depression and one day I heard this song and all of a sudden I felt the weight of my pain and suffering leave me and now I know that God is with me forever and He takes my pain away for good.
PRAISE GOD
I love this song and have listened to it many times. I don’t know all of what heaven will be like but I imagine each culture will be represented, speaking in their native language, worshipping the Lord (maybe dressed in their cultural garb playing their cultures instruments) and there will be so much joy and unity because although different cultures we all have one thing in common-love of God and his people. That is true cultural diversity unlike what is pushed on us today.I look forward to that day!
I'm a blubbering MESS.... Praise His Holy Name in all the earth! I WILL RISE when He CALLS my name! My grave will be opened from my SLEEP... and I will run and hug all those who followed Jesus to the end... as servants of God.... Loving HIM and Keeping His Commandments as He asked us to!
I adore this! This literally took me to Heaven.... In Jesus Name! AMEN!
God has really blessed his creation

The African drums just made this awesome
Thank you for bringing us music that brings us joy and the feeling of love for life and the world! Thank you!
If there were more Alex Boye in this world, the world would not be in turmoil !!!!
CHRIS DAWKINS I agree. He's able to do what he dos because he has good people around him and a great Father.
The power of this message! The tears fall every time and I'm inspired. Wow! Alex you are a light in this dark world for him! And to all the talent that created this piece-Thank you. Keep sharing! Absolutely beautiful!!!!! WE WILL RISE!
1st time I'd heard this song and watch this video, I couldn't even stop playing it. I felt the spirt so strong that I'd stayed up about 2 or 3 hrs watching this video. I shared this video with my family's n friends. They love it as well. Yes, my heart may fail but my God will not fail me. For he has been my Rock, my Remdemer, n my everlasting God. 🙏😇💙
I'm Jewish and love this. Beauty transcends religion, color and culture. It's a natural thing.
It's amazing to come back after 4 years and find that people are still watching, liking, commenting, appreciating, and loving this incredible tribute to our Savior, Jesus Christ. Performing with Alex was an unbelievable blessing, and singing this song made me want to share the gospel with everyone. Reading all the uplifting and positive comments has touched my heart and reminded me all over again why we do His work. You are all an inspiration! Thank you so much!
Alex, there is some special about this song that gives me strength. I will raise. BEAUTIFUL AND WELL DONE ALEX😊😊

Flat out amazing. These voices are literally perfect. I feel the Spirit so strong while they are singing.

But if you do keep doing what you're doing, God gave you the talents and the means for a reason. I don't know if the choir members check this one. I hope they keep singing for the rest of their lives. Absolutely Beautiful voices!

alex your selflessness is written over your music. Always crediting all the people who you sing with, always giving them pieces to shine.
Love his voice! I heard of him for the first time today when he sang "Let It Go"
Alex: An oak took my trailer. Only part safe was where I and my Boerbel were asleep. Your drummer boy helped me through Christmas. Thank you for such loving music.
I'm a Christian, and this my favorite cover of this song. :P
Pagan, not Christian, but this song is beautiful. Alex Boye (and the choir with him here) have such amazing voices. He is reaching beyond religious boundaries, for sure.
And rise, I will rise
There's a day that's drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagle's wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise, I will rise
And I hear the voice of many angels sing
Worthy is the Lamb
And I hear the cry of every longing heart
Worthy is the Lamb
And I hear the voice of many angels sing
Worthy is the Lamb
And I hear the cry of every longing heart
Worthy is the Lamb
(You are worthy, You are worthy)
Worthy is the Lamb
I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagle's wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise, I will rise, I will rise
whenever I listen to this song I get goose bumps!!! amazing song and amazing message
A thrilling musical inspiration!
Praise GOD for you Alex...you are breathing FRESH LIFE into the LDS church...in so many ways!! Thank you for your power, for your gifts...to us who have been utterly disappointed in what the Church became. I pray you n others like you can REMAKE the image of the LDS member to reflect the diversity God created on earth!! Amen.
Beautiful song.
Reading the comments either praising Jesus or flame wars about Christianity, I can't help but be amazed. We all believe something, some are on a spiritual journey, others are encroached in their truth. I might think it's baffling that others don't believe as I do, but so do they. Ultimately, I think true happiness will only be found when we are enough at peace with our beliefs that we don't feel the urge to pull everyone towards it. I am the first one to want to try to make people see "my truth", but a spiritual truth is a very personal journey, that even people from the same family will not necessarily share.
T.L.D.R.: Stfu about your religion, no one gives a crap.
The deepest of this peace is found admits the brokenness of sin in our lives. This anchor altho the chastisement of the Lord can feel too much to bare is his hand over us. God knows what he is doing, he stops right before it could over bare us knowing he has brought us to let go and to draw near to him. He brings us to the brink of ourselves and then catches us when we let go and fall, then he mend's us and fills us. Gods constant and consistent faithfulness and Love for us is real Power, Real Love.
This delicate process, that only The most Gracious, only the most merciful and LOVING God could ever do, is able to let us go and then Hold us close in an instant.
How he cuts and he heals. how he tends to us in the most perfect way. What power. He is all knowing, he is all powerful. there is NONE like him.
When he took himself in the form of a man, when he walked on earth as a servant, when he took the rejection and the lashings and the denial of his bride from him. When he was forsaken by the Father when he entered Death. Lord help us to love as you have Loved us and help us to love others how you in our salvation continue to Love us. deeper than the universe, worth more than all creation is your Love, is your power is your name.
If you are not religious but this song touched you, you should know that it is the Spirit of God that is touching your heart, not the music.
I don't know how I missed this lovely piece of work that Alex is a part of.
Mr Alex i am not even sure what to say but i feel i should let you know how much i appreciate your music. this is just awesome. its put me in a much better mood. God bless you my brother.
Desmond Ahwireng Thank you for saying this so gently and heart felt.
First, let me just say; PROUD To Be a Mormon, Even More PROUD to be a CHILD OF GOD. Very Inspirational VID -Will NEVER be ashamed to acknowledge and serve GOD in my life. May I just humbly share; that Whatever our religious preferences or differences, in faith, may we All come to know that in GOD's KINGDOM there is room enough for ALL OF US, for even Christ let us know that "WHOSOEVER Will, May Come." I testify that come what may, your decision to serve Christ, and let God be first in your life, is one you will Never Regret. Other things maybe, but never that....
Is it true that Mormons believe you can not reach the celestial kingdom without being baptized, receiving the gift, getting endowments, and getting married? If so, how could a person of a different religious preference still be allowed in? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Just want to know if my understanding is correct. Also, if you have free agency, how do you opt out of the afterlife altogether? Is it freedom if you only have two choices? Is it freedom if we never had the choice to be created? If we have free agency, then why don't we have the choice to stop our own existence? These are things I don't understand about Mormonism. I'm proud to have been raised Mormon, given the fantastic family values, ethics, and emphasis on reading. However, never fully agreed with the beliefs of the after life. Thanks.
Hi Mark, your questions are great ones and should and ought to be answered. First of all above all, let me say I believe in a merciful loving God, who is gathering His children unto Himself and has sent out Christ and all who will help Him to gather His children unto Him. In the scriptures it says that God's Greatest quality is love. For He God, so loved the world that he sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him would not perish but have everlasting life. I don't know if it's the same everywhere, I would hope that the message is consistent across the board. But based on my experience being an LDS member we're taught that the plan of salvation revolves around, Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving of the gift of the Holy Ghost/ Holy Spirit ('baptism by fire') by the laying on of Hands, and Enduring to the end. To the LDS member enduring to end means / represents being obedient to the teachings of Christ, keeping of the commandments, partaking in the sacrament (on the principle where Christ said as often as you this you remember me) choosing daily to live the life that is Christ-like, or would represent Him. Doing the things that God and Christ has asked of you. These things represent the door and path to making it into the kingdom. I'm not going to pretend that there aren't times when I too have questions. But I trust in Christ as my compass and believe that God will direct me through His Holy Spirit when I put Him first and seek Him out. I also understand that the church does believe that one of the prerequisites to attain celestial Kingdom glory (or to get to that kingdom,) it requires the making and keeping of sacred covenants with God (sealings and endowments), and being married in the temple also, however based on previous responses to my questions, you can make it to the celestial kingdom without having been married based on having been married based on how one lived their life like Hyrum or Alvin (one of the brothers of Joseph Smith.) But God is the ultimate judge on that one. According to what the church teaches, even if you do not get a chance to marry in this life, you may get the opportunity to do so in eternity where you have that option. I am not currently married. LDS believes that everyone who did not get a chance to follow God correctly but had the desire will get eventually get to at some point. Eternity is a pretty long time. All Men/male and female, on earth will get an opportunity to inherit a kingdom glory based on how well they followed after Christ in this life. -Those who were valiant in faith towards God and Christ (inherit the celestial kingdom), those who were not so valiant but otherwise good beings (inherit the telestial), and those who didn't try as much inherit terrestrial. Those who utterly reject God and Christ after all the work is done or all opportunity is exhausted would be sent out in outer darkness. It's almost like imagining a person going to university on a spiritual level and graduating, with the difference between a Bachelor's, Master's or PHD degree almost, or flunking out (-kind of). But how well we do depends on how well we were personally willing to do knowing what the criteria was. We all get saved through Christ because that is the free gift from God, but what we enjoy at the end of it is up to how much of it we desired and worked toward it (as much or as little). They will each be great places to be but each one greater than the other. Someone of a different faith but who eventually trusts in Christ at one point or the other in this life or the afterlife will be allowed in one of these 'worlds' or 'glories' in the kingdom. Just like we are taught and see that there are different stages of growth for the human being in their lifecycle; first you are a fertilized egg and embryo and develop from baby to boy to man/ adult, there is a spiritual growth process where we grow into a state of perfection and eventually inherit the kingdom where God is when we fully achieve being Christ-like. But it is a process that encompasses our entire existence not simply in terms of earthly time but time in the sense of eternity. According to LDS teachings; we did exercise our free agency in the pre-mortal existence and chose to come to earth to have human body and endure the tests that we do /have in this life we just don't remember it, but will when Christ returns and reveals all things to us. We all accepted to be here in the beginning, we just have to endure to the end in this life; we'll be smiling in the end....
Becca G. I am not Momon, but i did grow up in a Christian home. I believe we all need to look at where our beliefs are the same, then learn and grow from each other where we differ from. all the mainstream denominations belief and teach the gospel message of Jesus Christ. Plus Repentance, Baptism of water and of the Holy Spirit. We all also teach the importance of living a Holy life that is pleasing to God, But those who reject Christ will not enter into Heaven.
Becca G.
Thank you for your reply to Mark's questions. However, the process for salvation you laid out, "Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving of the gift of the Holy Ghost/ Holy Spirit ('baptism by fire') by the laying on of Hands, and Enduring to the end," seems more focused on what YOU did, which in the theological circles I'm in (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod), is often referred to as "works-righteousness." May I remind you that: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast."-Ephesians 2:8-9. We do not to anything to achieve salvation; rather, it is what Christ has done, for us, on Calvary's cross, "For God so loved the whole world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16.
The same verses you mention state that "faith without works is dead..."and it goes on to expound. As a Christian/ child of God, I do not argue over the parts that are written. Rather I look at it as a whole and I know that in the big picture of things (whether you only wish to look at just the biblical scriptures or not,) you need both to stand on solid ground. But Christ did not direct none of these things that are all of God to be a burden or yoke around our necks as some portray I, but rather; according to his own words or that of his servants they are all for the perfecting of the saints unto that great and perfect work. That His Father commissioned Him to do, to shape us unto His Image. In the Image of God the Father Himself. So when you see us, you won't simply see just us but the image of God the Father himself, and so that we may be able to dwell in His presence -Holy and acceptable before the Lord (Romans 12:1 "-we ought to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable before the Lord." -Living the life unto which we are called. In order to live that life we have to take certain steps /action. Walk towards Him as countless scriptures admonish and as we walk He draws us unto Himself. Now whether you disagree or not, it is undeniable that that walking requires from us some action on our part. God will not force us to do anything that we do not desire. We must choose Him and "follow" Him. Whether we debate over it or not. Those first couple of steps require some 'effort' from our part and as such does in fact constitute part of the 'work' that 'we' must first fulfill. When we take action from our part, He takes over and puts everything that is supposed to, in order.) We debate over what it is, what it means, etc. But we simply must just do it; read, understand and act. Christ himself said that it is not just he who hears the word that will be saved; but He that DOES it. But in order to do it you must first HEAR it. So yes you are right and yet you are in part, wrong. And perhaps depending on how you want to look at it you could tell me the same. But either way, the truth is, we need both. Both sides are correct, but not in and of themselves. The two are equally important and necessary. Praise God, Serve God and as the Word says simply strive towards the mark; not as though we have already won it, but as though we strive unto it (-knowing though that we are already his.) Faith by itself on its own is only half of it. Acting on our faith in Christ moves the mountains -and demonstrates 'work' on our part. Not because of our own merit but because we love him we follow him and do what he asks of us. Live free and be free in Christ. He is more than that (the sum of our arguments,) and he understands and knows the length and breadth of all of us. Anything He brings you to, he is able strengthen you from on high, and to see you through.
Alex I don't know if you look at these comments but please know that you make such a difference in this world with your music. It wakes up the soul and moves the heart toward the Spirit.
some day using the light of Jesus we shall explore the galaxy......I am overwhelmed that you had a great inventor in West Union and allowed me an unbelievable life so far overcoming disease is a blessing!
I love music and I stumbled upon a nice one today.

BILLY OYIEKO keep on listening bro

Alex, Germany loves you,
your voice is so great, i can´t say it in words... incredible
Who in the world can DISLIKE THIS SONG!!!???
This is absolutely amazing!!! Loved it. Thanks for making this available to the body of Christ.
One has to wonder how much angels are actually involved in these beautiful songs.
Alex, thank you. I've lost my faith when I was 21 . I I was so angry untill I understood that real good is Love.
I LOVE ALEX BOYE SOOOOO MUCH
Not a christian .. still love it
A mi también me encanta escuchar esta canción y lo que sé de Alex Boye es que es un hombre de gran fe, creyente de Cristo, muy humilde y de gran corazón.
Monkey (not gonna try to pronounce the rest) - It's not your religious beliefs that defines you as a person, it is who you are as a human being that defines who you truly are.. (I think I hurt my tounge by saying it a few times too fast..)
I am part celtic and part viking and still enjoy Alex Boye's music..
CloudOfficial
dude ... why do you define yourself as celtic/viking ... those things mean nothing anymore
So you say, so you say.. but why do you think I mentioned it?
CloudOfficial
because for some reason you see yourself as those things, think those things are important ... idk
This song left me spechless, I'm amazed by it's power, gets through you
He has overcome the grave. He saved us from death and condemnation; from sorrow and remorse He's strengthened our branches and made us new roots in His Great Vine and brushed each and every tear with His fingers.
Absolutely beautiful!!!!!
whatever your faith or beliefs, this is a stunning piece of work and should lift the spirit of everyone.
+browntroutfisherman Thank you!
very beautiful song. Thanks to Christ and His Atonement, we can rise and be free of pain and suffering of our lives as long as we turn to Him in a humble and sincere heart.
This vid and arrangement embody the essence of Jesus: He loves us ALL. I left my Christian religion, because of the focus on money, judgment and discrimination. My faith in Christ's love has only become stronger. I am grateful for Alex' hymns of inclusion. Gracias and bless you...
Peace be to you all! I found this to be beautiful and very moving! To the Lord be the glory (SubanAllah ! We are all trying to find our path to enlightenment in our own unique ways. 😊
Allah is just Arabic for God, so He is real.
+Megan J absolutey not ! Allah existes since 622 after jesus-christ.
