Kentucky Man Sits Among Debris And Plays Gospel Song After Tornado Destroys His Home

After a tornado savagely swept across Kentucky in December 2021, Jordan Baize sat on his roofless home amid the debris and played a worship song.

The tornado flattened many buildings and homes, and claimed the lives of 74 people in Kentucky alone.

In this moving video, Jordan sits in the debris and plays Bill and Gloria Gaither’s “There’s Something About the Name” on his grand piano. His sister, Whitney Brown, was in his bedroom looking for things she could still save when she heard the song.

His sister, Whitney Brown, was in his bedroom looking for things she could still save when she heard the song.

He was unaware that she had gone out and recorded the beautiful moment. She posted the video on Facebook. “I have been overwhelmed by the love my family has been shown today,” she wrote. “My brother, Jordan, lost his home, but thankfully, he and his family made it out safely. I was standing in his bedroom packing anything I could salvage, and I heard the most beautiful sound: music.”

This faith-filled man played a worship song amid the destruction and despair. “Everything around him was broken. The piano had water damage, it had missing keys, and he didn’t know I was filming, but still, he used his gift to glorify his God the best way he knew how,” Whitney added.

His initial response was to worship God right after a tragedy. Instead of asking or blaming Him for what happened, he still chose to praise Him at such a difficult time. The goodness of God was still evident since all of his family members survived.
