A three-year-old boy named Obiblo moved his church congregation with a heartfelt performance of ‘Above All Powers,’ where his musical talent and deep spiritual connection left everyone in tears.
Worship can flow from anyone, regardless of age or ability. When we witness a child praising God with pure devotion, it reminds us of Jesus’s words about having childlike faith.
These precious moments remind us that God’s Spirit works powerfully through pure hearts, no matter how young they are.
‘Above All Powers’ was written by Lenny LeBlanc and Paul Baloche in 1999. The song emphasizes Christ’s supremacy over all creation and His sacrificial love for humanity.
Its powerful lyrics describe Jesus as being “above all powers, above all kings” and highlight His ultimate sacrifice on the cross, where He “thought of me above all.”
Young Obiblo took his place at the front of the church wearing a neat vest and bow tie. His clear, steady voice filled the sanctuary as he sang each note with perfect pitch.
What struck everyone wasn’t just his natural musical gift, but how deeply he connected with the words he sang. During the chorus, his voice lifted with a strength and understanding that seemed far beyond his three years.
The most powerful moment unfolded when he sang the bridge section about Jesus being “trampled on the ground.” Tears formed in Obiblo’s eyes as he sang these words about Christ’s sacrifice, and soon the whole congregation was crying with him.
When he reached the final chorus with its key change, his voice soared higher, carrying both musical skill and deep spiritual meaning.
The video of his performance touched many hearts online. One viewer shared, “The power of the holy spirit is at work even in a 3 yr old. Incredible. Brought me to my knees.”
Another wrote, “This video just moved me to tears. May your light continue to shine. You will live for Christ. No weapon formed against you shall prosper in the name of Jesus Christ amen. God bless your parents and your church.”
This performance shows us that God doesn’t look at age when choosing who will lead others in worship. There’s something special about a child’s praise – it breaks down walls and touches hearts in ways that even experienced worship leaders sometimes can’t match. Obiblo’s worship reminds us of Jesus’s words welcoming children to come to Him.
His sincere performance calls us to worship God with the same open heart that children naturally have. The way he connected with the song’s message about God’s love and sacrifice challenges us to think about how we engage in worship.
Let’s follow his example and come before God with honest emotion and complete trust, allowing God’s Spirit to work freely in our hearts.
