Sadly, feeling unheard often leads people to feel unloved, forgotten, and of little value to God. Yet all those feelings aren’t based on truth but rather on we what we aren’t seeing or experiencing happening in our lives because God does hear us. “And if we know that He hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of Him” ([1 John 5:15]( Often, when we feel unheard, God is at work in ways we may not see or know at the time.

He was just 22 years old, at the time. The powerful lyrics, which dwell on the theme of divine grace, are based on 1 Samuel 7:12. “Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise.” Claire and her dad became instant Internet sensations after their sweet duet of 'You've Got A Friend In Me' was posted online. The video quickly went viral with millions of people falling in love with this precious daddy-daughter duo. Since then, Claire has continued to share her talent for performing through a thriving YouTube channel and appearances on shows such as The Voice and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Today, she has the whole family together for a stunning performance of the classic hymn ‘Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing.’ “Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love.” What a beautiful performance full of love and praise for our King. And it is such a blessing to watch this family share their special gift of leading worship.
