The Valley Rock Voices, a contemporary choir from South Wales, recently performed an incredibly uplifting rendition of ‘I Will Follow Him’ from the film Sister Act. Directed by Cervys Bevan, the choir, which consists of 200 members, managed to create a wall of sound that not only resonated with the foot-tapping tunes of the song but also echoed a powerful Christian message of devotion and commitment.
The video starts with the choir singing in a somber tone, reminiscent of a heavenly choir, setting a reverent atmosphere. As the piano beat picks up, the choir transitions into the iconic song from Sister Act, filling the air with nostalgia and joy. The moment is reminiscent of the 1992 film, where Whoopi Goldberg’s character, Delores, revitalizes a struggling choir by blending gospel music with modern-day hits, infusing life back into the congregation.
This performance by the Valley Rock Voices is more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane; it is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the willingness to follow a path laid out by a higher power. The Bible tells us in Luke 9:57, “As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’” This verse encapsulates the essence of the song and the performance by the Valley Rock Voices. It is a declaration of dedication and a willingness to follow a path, no matter where it may lead.
The performance ends on a high note, with choir members dancing and singing with gusto, prompting the viewer to stand up and declare, “Praise the Lord. I will follow you forever and always.” It is a reminder that music is a powerful tool for expressing our faith and devotion, and that by embracing it, we can strengthen our connection to God and to one another.
