Dailey & Wincent delivered a powerful a cappella performance of ‘When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder’ on “God Bless America Again.”
The story behind ‘When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder’ shows how God works through music to comfort us. James M. Black wrote this hymn in 1893 after a young girl named Bessie missed Sunday school roll call because she had fallen very ill with pneumonia.
From the first note, the group shows their musical excellence. The opening soloist sings with genuine emotion and perfect control. The chorus brings depth to the performance, while the tenor reaches impressive high notes that lift the entire song.
The group moves through key changes with skill, never losing their perfect harmony. The bass singer then takes his turn with a solo that shows off his incredible deep voice.
You can see the host’s face light up with amazement when he hits those low notes that seem impossible.
The group comes together for the chorus sections with harmony that fills the room. Their precise singing makes the message even stronger as they share the words about Jesus calling us home.
What comfort we find in knowing that Jesus has secured our place in heaven through His sacrifice. When life’s challenges weigh us down, songs like these lift our spirits and remind us of our true destination.
Just as these gifted singers point us toward heaven through their music, we too can encourage others with the hope we have in Christ.
Let’s live each day with the joyful certainty that when the roll is called up yonder, we’ll be there.
