One virtual choir from a school in South Africa performs a beautiful rendition of the popular song ‘Hallelujah’ and shares the video online.
“Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah”
The choir students are from the Roedean School in Parktown, Johannesburg. During this time where the world is sheltering at home because of the coronavirus, these students used their talents to virtually bring joy to others.
“Apart in uncertain times, but together in spirit and song,” the school writes as a caption for this music video. “May our choir’s virtual performance of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah be a timely reminder that we are indeed #TogetherApart”
At the beginning of the video, someone walks out to an empty performance hall and sits down at a piano. That person is later revealed to be the students’ choir director.
Small videos of the students singing begin to slowly pop up onto the screen. They are all singing their own parts from the safety of their own homes, and they sound wonderful together. More videos of students continue to show up on the screen as they are singing the beautiful harmonies that go along with the main singer’s melody.
While the students are singing, the video shows shots of their empty school. From the library, to the cafeteria, to the hallways lined with pictures of the students, every room is completely void of people. One of the shots show the marquee on the school that reads “Roedean School will be closed until further notice.”
Despite not being together at their school, these students were still able to virtually come together to put on an inspiring and powerful performance. It just goes to show you that even while we’re forced to be apart right now, music can still bring the world together.
Legendary country singer Willie Nelson sits down with his two sons, Lukas and Micah, for a performance of ‘Turn Off The News And Build a Garden.’
As COVID-19 forces many people to remain in their homes, it can cause a lot of fear and anxiety. The message of this song reminds us all that there is still good all around us.
“Turn off the news and build a garden
Just my neighborhood and me
We might feel a bit less hardened
We might feel a bit more free”
From a very young age, Lukas developed a love for music. He know that he wanted to turn this passion into a career and began writing his own songs and playing guitar when he was barely a teen.
Now, he’s successful artist with a band of his own and the incredible talent to back it all up. Today, he’s joined by his father, Willie Nelson, and brother Micah for this special quarantine rendition of ‘Turn Off The News And Build A Garden.’
“Turn off the news and raise the kids
Give them something to believe in
Teach them how to be good people
Give them hope that they can see
Hope that they can see”
In these troubling times, it’s important to remember the simple things in life and how much joy and hope can come from these small moments.
Who else is using this time to reflect and become closer to the family around you with all of the normal distractions?

Hi guys! I would like to invite you all to watch my first video here on my YouTube Channel. Sharing with you on this video are some insights from the Chapter 1 of my favorite book entitled, "Purpose Driven Life", written by Rick Warren. It's actually an answer to your question... What on Earth Am I Here For?
Let us all together walk through life with Jesus and get to know more our purpose on this Earth.
At the end of this video, let us all reflect and ask ourselves, "In spite of all the advertising around me, how can I remind myself that life is really about living for God, not myself?"
If you have any comment on my video, please write it below on comment section. It is very much appreciated.
Through staying at home and by having a moment of silence, leaving all our worries to God, keeping our faith to him, we all could be able to survive this pandemic situation that this coronavirus COVID-19 has brought to our world.
"Stay home, be safe, and most specially... Pray to God." God bless us all.

If we let it, times of intense suffering or stress can actually be very wonderful times of blessing. I don't think that anyone would willingly choose it, but if we're there and we don't turn away from God, then God can use that time to shape us and mold us and change us. To bring us into a deeper, more mature relationship with Him.
Encouragement for us to focus on Jesus. May God help us to live the lives He wants for us to live, even if it is different from what society or those around us say we should do.
