Ella Willken, a talented young musician, performs a beautiful harp version of the popular worship song ‘10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)’.
Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin wrote ‘10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)’ in 2011. Since then, churches around the world have embraced it. The song encourages us to thank God for all His blessings. Even though Ella doesn’t sing the words, you might find yourself remembering them as you listen:
Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before, O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
Ella’s performance lasts about three and a half minutes. As you watch, you’ll see how skillfully she plays the harp. Her fingers move quickly over the strings, never missing a note. The harp’s sound is both gentle and powerful, perhaps reminding us of heavenly music.
This instrumental version gives us a chance to experience the song in a new way. Without words, we can focus on the beautiful melody. It gives us time to pray quietly or simply enjoy God’s presence. Each note from the harp could represent another reason to thank God.
Playing the harp takes great skill. It has many strings and parts that the player must control. Watching Ella play so well shows how she’s using her God-given talents. It reminds us that we all have gifts we can use to honor God. Some people sing, some play instruments, and others have different abilities. What matters most is that we use our gifts to show our love for God.
