Listen to this soul-stirring performance from a family band of the song ‘Shout to the Lord.’ The talented musicians in the video are part of a family band called Missioned Souls. Let their rendition of this song uplift and encourage you today.
‘Shout to the Lord all the Earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name’
What a beautiful and talented family! The members of the family band include husband and wife, Secan and Sheena, and their four children: Naces, who is 15 years old and plays the keyboard; Neisha, who is 13 years old and play lead guitar; Stacey, who is 11 years old and sings/play rhythm guitar; and Isaiah, who is 10 years old and plays drums.
This family band has a beautiful mission, as stated on their YouTube page. “We are a family commissioned to propagate the importance of family unity by showing love and respect to each family member and for one another. We put into action our God-given gifts to bring joy and fun into other people’s lives through music,” their bio reads. “Missioned Souls was born out of our earnest desire to give thanks for the simple musical talent we receive from above, thus, giving glory to the Holy Trinity.”
As for the song ‘Shout to the Lord,’ it was written by Darlene Zschech, who leads worship for the Hillsong television program, which broadcasts to over 160 countries. But at the time this song was written, Darlene was in a very stressful season of life.
“It still takes my breath away to remember,” says Darlene. “I was not going to the piano to write an important song. I went to worship my God when I was at the end of myself. It was after another reminder notice came in for an overdue bill, and I kind of ran out of steam. But I went into a room where all the children’s toys were, and my very old, out of tune, upright piano. I opened my Bible to the Psalms and started to pray. Within about twenty minutes, ‘Shout’ had been composed. To be honest, I cannot really claim to have written the song—I just started singing it, bit by bit, again and again.”
May this song be a reminder to us all to call out to the Lord in our times of need. He is our great comforter and healer. We hope that you enjoyed listening to this rendition of ‘Shout to the Lord’ today.
