He sang this live. Let that sink in. His gentleness, control, power-truly amazing. I’ve been listening to this song for several years and it is still mind-blowing.
Praise God. Quite possibly the single finest vocal performance of all time. So inspiring!
Noone ever sang it better!!
The best single live performance of a song EVER!!! By anyone, anywhere.
Whenever I ask my friends “You want to hear some great singing?” I put this on. It never disappoints.
This still remains as one of the best versions of this song that I have ever heard. The pipes on this guy is just insane.
I grew up believing Elvis had the greatness and most powerful voice ever till I heard David Phelps rendition of this song O HOLY NIGHT !! so utterly powerful amazing voice, a true gift from God
I did celine was very good but truly out classed by David Phelps incredible @@shawnmason9584 God given voice
Praise theGod of Creation for giving a human such an awesome voice!!!!
David's voice and Anthony's piano playing compliment each other so greatly.
David Phelps does this song “O Holy Night” like no other. I have listen to David through the years and have NEVER been disappointed. He sing each note with ease. Truly a gift from God and he has not disappointed God not once. David you are awesomely AMAZING. ❤️❤️
I had the privilege of being in the audience that very night. There was not a dry eye in the theater… David’s rendition was truly anointed and you could feel the Holy Spirit among us! My husband and I listened to it just this morning before our prayers. Thank you God for this blessing! 🙌🏻
You know when the Holy Spirit is present when the lyrics say "Fall on your knees," and the entire congregation rises to its feet in praise!
God gave him a voice of an angel🙏🏾 Praise God🙏🏾🙏🏾
Dec 2020 here I am listening to his beautiful voice. Jesus saves 🙏
Honestly...I don’t know how he has any vocal cords left! How can he do that over and over, and still sing???
So many of the singers including the piano player are now in heaven....what a loss.
This is honestly outrageous. As a professional singer myself, this is honestly one of the greatest vocal performances that I've ever heard! Utterly incredible!
2:21 it’s his conviction as he sings for me, happy Christmas from Ireland
Exactly! I too was a professional singer for years. Mr. Phelps blows my mind. How I love to listen to him sing!!
I love to sing along with his songs, it really challenges my singing and gives me an amazing vocal workout. He is truly gifted.
this guy is awesome, you should hear gabriel henrique, that guy is crazy
Omg David Phelps👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I want to thank the woman who carried you in her tummy for 9 months. Your voice is tearing the Heavens apart in a glorious way! Just unbelievable🙏🏽🙏🏽
I've said it many times and I'll say it again - what a magnificent vocal gift God gave this man.
It's the holy Spirit The others don't have the holy Spirit like he has and sings it through his heart
Do you want to TRULY know what Heaven is like? It HAS TO BE THIS RIGHT HERE! You can feel the Holy Spirit move SO STRONGLY!! WOW WOW WOW!!! So POWERFUL! Thank you Lord for giving us David Phelps! I cry EVERYTIME I hear this glorious song. Another GREAT song of David's is "No More Night" WOW WOW WOW! ❤🙏❤
He put more motion and feeling into this than you usually see, maybe because of he is a little more spiritual than most people singing it and actually believes what he is singing.
The way he hits those notes like it’s nothing 😂 I love Devi’s Phelps with a passion ❤ his songs are really therapeutic
A angel of a man and his bless voice from god.im also a song writer and I am writing this song after I heard this video.im not finish with my song but here is a few lines of my song I'm writing .it goes like this.i may not have my own house on this earth,but I have a home in heaven.im not finish with my song ,but God works in mysterious ways.thank you david and bless you and your family for the holidays. I follow you on utube all the time .inspiration is the key to my life and thank you again.god is watching!!!!
As close to perfection as you can get this side of Heaven! Singing.
Only Celine Deon comes close to David Phelps! Great job David!
Yes...Lord...Yes...I fell on my knees ....you alone Lord are worthy....thank you david
My favorite version of "O Holy Night". This is not just amazing singing , this is amazing worship to our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise God!
Amen! 🙏🏼 This song has been my favorite for as long as I can remember! 🥰🙏🏼
Please don't take it the wrong way, but in God's ears, this is not necessarily amazing worship, at least not any more amazing than a 100-year old granny with hardly any voice left singing this song, accompanied by a single piano or guitar.
Remember how God says in 1st Samuel ch 16, that He looks at the heart of a person rather than the outside? Likewise, God says he accepts worship that is offered in Spirit and truth, offered from the heart. As long as worship is done sincerely from the heart, you can have the worst singing voice in the world, and it is utterly beautiful to God's ears. God just wants us to make a "joyful noise" unto Him.
We can apply the same concept to our own worship. As long as we offer our worship from the heart, God accepts and loves it. If we're thinking about what we're going to eat for lunch while worshiping, it won't matter one bit how beautifully we may be singing.
I don't fault you for thinking this video is "amazing worship" however. We humans tend to be impressed by nice things, handsome/beautiful people, beautiful voices....but God sees the heart first and foremost.
Can the pianist get an amen? He played as exceptionally as David Phelps sang.
God's gift for a nan of God
Gospel singers are the bomb. Hey 👋🏻 pop singers!
No one will ever sing that with more vocal beauty and passion. God bless you, David! Merry Christmas 2020!
David was touched by the holy spirit that night. Brings many to tears.
Beautiful just beautiful someone that can have so much Beauty and Powerful of the love of Jesus Christ I never heard something so beautiful in my life that brings tears to my eyes about loving Jesus Christ
It moves me to tears to hear David Phelps sing this amazing Christmas hymn each year. The best rendition I’ve ever heard!
WOWWWWW!!! I DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW ANYONE COULD'VE PUT A THUMBS DOWN ON THIS!!..........THAT BLOWS ME AWAY..... David did an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING JOB WITH THIS SONG.........PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!
wanda blevins - those 65 who put a thumbs down must be totally unborn in the spirit not understanding what the ONLY meaning of Christmas is, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. They need prayer!
You are so right. They have issues. This beautiful. Praised be Jesus Christ, both now and forever.
Because the pacing is a mess. I wish people would just sing the damned song normal. Everyone has to embellish and put thier own spin on it . It like putting extra spices and garnishes into mac and cheese. It ruins the dish. You just want the mac and cheese.
A prayer requiring faith to know WHO JESUS CHRIST WAS OR STILL IS.
On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seeks to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movie, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned inorder for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their doors until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again, I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
This is the one cut that leterally scared the hell out of me..... I am such a fan of David's'....he sings this with such passion and control....he is definitely annointed by God......as we all can tell.... I'm so thankful for you David.....and I am so thankful to hear your version of this song...... you have become something else.....when God blesses you.... there's just no telling how someone might shine....your so humble....thank you.... I am praying for you....... sincerely... much love....
Had no idea Frasier could sing.
i'm japanese. i'm not christian but this song and him voice deeply touched my soul🔥🙌👍
Same, I'm not Christian or even religious but I really like this song, especially this version of it
One of the best performances by any artist ever, period!
2023 I’ve been listening to this phenomenal version for more years than I remember. Dedicated to Larry who loved this vocal group and is abiding with Jesus in heaven now.
Dear Lord ! What just happened !
He is not performing, he is WORSHIPING, compare to Mariah Carey.
Agreed. Sung like and by a true believer. Merry Christmas and may God bless us all.
@@junegracealdana4396 you can sing it however you feel. Mariah was awesome.
@@truthbringer-6748
But I like most the version of Josh Groban and Neil Sedaka.they sung it in full version..
Mariah Carey did a phenomenal job as did the man above.. You can compliment one without insulting the other
Glory on earth !!! Jesus the Messiah!!!! Beautiful voice
Only one word i can say , Amen
I still get chills when I hear him sing this. Praise the Lord
@David Phelps David if it;s you... Thank you dear... Thank you .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best version I’ve ever heard. My Christmas favorite. Amazing and stellar voice. Let’s not forget that wonderful and amazing gifted piano player who’s greatly missed.
Those 115 thumbing down are suspected to be agent of the devil,merry Christmas to everyone reading this comment.Be blessed.
Thank you. Strengthen my faith.
There is no one like him!!!
The pianist is fantastic, as is Phelps. Excellent presentation.
listend again to this world 's greatest and most powerful male rendition of this powerful Christian song ...April 8, 2024
Great rendition indeed but not the greatest I don't think. For me the greatest is still Billy Porter's rendition! Chills go down my spine and tears of joy appear every single time I hear Billy's version here on the UA-cam so I had to download it on Spotify too! 😁😍
Praise His Holy Name! Outstandingly amazing!!!!!!!!
How bout that pianist!
That's Anthony Burger, my friend. A talent like that is really hard to see twice. I miss him in GVB videos since long. A true loss.
Truly annointed, as well as, Phelps. They could do a concert by themselves and would have no complaints here. :)
It made me think just now of a lady I heard. I went to a small Baptist Church for awhile to find a good evening service. They were all very nice. They had an older lady playing piano. They also let her play while the offering was collected and this was the exact same way she played. She was all over those keys and was AMAZING and annointed. I felt like giving her a standing ovasion every single week. Haha. I will never forget her. Sadly, it was the deadest Church I have ever been to. I believe if Jesus had walked through the door, they still wouldn't be excited. It had to be tough on the preacher, preaching to the dead. God bless that lady, though.
Anthony Burger was truly the greatest piano player of our time. Gone too soon. 😢
Berger is so accomplished a pianist he could have made millions if he played for the world. What a loss that he died the way he did. I miss his playing. David is by far the most gifted christan tenors.
You take me to His throne in worship, on my knees! Thank you. 🙏🏻🙌
Aside from the glorious vocals and piano, THANK YOU for including the second verse. It gets left out and tiptoed around far too often these days.
Oh yes this is my favorite version as well, it uplifts my spirit, David Phelps has an amazing voice
WHAT A VOICE. !!!!!! ALL HEAVEN DECLARED HIS GLORY THAT HOLY NIGHT OF BIRTH. PRAISE YOU MY SAVIOUR FOR COMING TO SAVE US. 🙌🙌 CA
What a blessing! This is such anointed singing and playing! Draws you to the Lord of Lords not the man. True worship!
This performance is all about the incredible voice. The kitchen piano is a serious distraction.
Male highest version 2022 so far...the voice reaches the heavens!
I really Love This song by Him no one could beat him !!!!!!!!!
What else is there after this? 👍👍 I'm done. Wow, that was just unbelievably great.
What a SINGER, He got me, a man of 73bawling my eyes out
Just amazing. Is anyone other than me listening in this troubled year of 2022?
Oh Holy Night has long been my favorite Christmas song and hearing this man sing it, brought me to tears! His faith and conviction could be felt in every note, never have I heard a more magnificent version!!
It makes the tears fall no matter how many times I have heard this song.
😄The greatest rendition that I've ever heard of my favorite Christmas song! What an experience! 🎶
I thought it was a little showy at first but he’s won me over. He hit the “Fall on your knees” with the right gravitas, not too sweet like most singers. And when the choir joins in it’s spine tingling
It's only January, but I can't wait for Christmas...❤❤
The singer is amazing and the pianist near gave me a heart attack! Stunning
The voice was so powerful and amplifying. That what makes this song so striking and super majestic!😍👏👌 If there's a Phelps who is the king of the water, here we have the Phelps the King of Voice prowess! 👑👏
This is GREAT performance. This man can really sing. A rare singer with natural talent. A God given gift that he use to give GOD the glory. God doesn't make mistakes.
Praise Christ our saviour
Talent on loan from GOD himself. It absolutely doesn’t get any better than this. Turn it up as loud as it goes. Praise GOD
One of the best live performances ever
Imagine this man participate in America Got Talent 😮
Great singer. Great pianist. Great choir. But most importantly, the Great I Am was the center of all. Praise the Lord. Always!
The best ever. How David hit those high notes is God breathed.
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
That man can really sing
Greetings in Jesus. I was singing O Holy Night and I found David Phelps singing it with the passion and conviction it must be sung with. All praise and all glory to the Blessed Holy Name of Jesus.
2019 and still the best version of this song ever. I Love You, Jesus! 🙌🏼✝️
His gift in singing is really awesome to the max!Praise God!😍
There are tenors. David is a bomb tenor.
This man is absolutely my favorite artist. Period. I'd love to hear David Phelps and Jason Crabb sing "Oh what a savior" or this song together. They are my top 2 favorite artists worldwide. The anointing in these two men of God is astounding. To meet those two is my biggest dream short of making it to heaven. I'm a singer, and have dreamt of singing with these guys since the first time I heard them on a "Gaither family reunion". Thank you for sharing your talent with me David Phelps. God bless you brother.
This is my MOST favorite Christmas song EVER and he sang it the best I have ever heard, it brought tears to my eyes. POWERFUL!!!!
that piano player is nothing to sneeze at either!!! Outstanding performance by both
It is Anthony Burger, one of the absolute best without a doubt. Taken from us too soon. He passed while performing on stage during a concert aboard a Gaither Caribbean Cruise. David loved performing with Anthony, never threatened by singing with such amazing talent to back him up. Anthony never outshined any singer, he made them even better.
Best ever ever ever!! Nobody can beat David . In another class altogether!!
Just out of this World, this Man is owsome oh glory to God.
I will never understand how someone can sing like this wowwww And Anthony Burger the best pianist ever wowwww 🙏🏾 xxx
A great rendition by David Phelps indeed but not the greatest yet I don't think. For me Billy Porter's rendition is better! Chills go down my spine and tears of joy appear every single time I hear Billy's version here on the UA-cam so I had to download it on Spotify too! 😁 However, hats off to David! A talent that can't be denied! 👋👋👋
12/13/23. People can’t fake this level of worship through the vehicle of musical excellence. The sincerity and worship in spirit and truth is evident. It woke up my discouraged soul this evening. A little glimpse of heaven.
My absolute favorite Christmas song...and David's version is the BEST one bar NONE!! Praise the Lord ☝️❤☝️
PRAISE GOD FOR HIS WONDERFUL GIFT TO US HIS PRECIOUS SON JESUS.
Can we all agree David is amazing but the piano playing on this is just as brilliant
The best male version that i heard ever🙏🙏👏👏👏
This song and this version of this amazing song actually drops me to me knees and brings pouring tears of joy to praise and worship the birth of our savior Lord Jesus Christ!! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all!! God Bless!!!
Shout out to the pianist for making a presence.
Anthony Burger was AMAZING! He passed away in 2006 unfortunately.
They were on a cruise and he just dropped to the floor with a heart attack. If you watch him play the piano he really gets into it.
