The video is shot from behind West and his band members, showing the crowd in a darkened concert hall holding candles while singing the Christmas hymn. Many followers praised the video saying, “This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. So beautiful, sound and visual,” and “Beautiful, absolutely beautiful and when you think that the praise in Heaven will sound more beautiful than this our minds cannot comprehend.”
Not only is West a talented musician, he is also the author of the book “The God Who Stays,” where he describes it as his “most personal book to date.” In a recent interview with The Christian Post, West spoke about his spiritual relationship God and how He doesn’t move on from us. “God doesn’t move on. Even when the rest of the world does, He stays with you. And He walks with you, no matter how long it takes,” he said. “Our world is in the business of moving on. We’re already on to the next crisis. If you turn on the news today, it’ll be a different crisis than they were highlighting yesterday; the world moves on. But when we’re still stuck in our grief, or we’re still stuck in our anxiety, we’re still wrestling with our depression, we’re still battling our demons and our addictions, there’s One who promises that He’s not going to leave us. Even if the world says, ‘Too much for me, I’m moving on,’ He stays, He stays, He stays.”
