Come on, give it up for our moms. We're so appreciative of you, and we're so glad you're here. And we're sorry that we either made you cry or triggered you just now with that video. But we love you, and we wanted to do something special today to honor you. In fact, we have some women on our team who we told to take the weekend off from singing and worshiping so they can rest and relax. And so you're going to be led by me and my brothers today. So I want you to stand on your feet. We might be small in number, but still, praise will be mighty today, because praise is the way that we express gratitude to God. So it's not about being pretty. It's just about being loud. So let's sing and worship the Lord in a fresh way today. Let's do it right now. Come on.

Hey. There you go. Now let's sing together. I praise in the valley, and praise on the mountain. I praise when I'm sure, and praise when I'm doubting.

is a choice to give you praise and glory, to lay ourselves down because you've been so good. Every voice lifted. There's a story there. And we don't just sing our story. We sing your story. And come back to your story week in, week out, reminding ourselves of your goodness, your faithfulness, and your strength, and your presence with us. Thank you, God, for being exactly who you are. We praise you and glorify you, lift you high above all things and above my name and above anyone else. We love you, Lord. I love you. And I thank you. I pray all this because of you, Jesus. Amen. Amen. That was fun. Hey, I just want to say, if it's your first time here, you're in the right place. What you just saw is people choosing to say, I want to point myself towards Jesus. We don't get it right all the time. But man, we found life in him. And we're excited that you're here today and hope you find the same thing in him. Right now, why don't you turn to somebody next to you and say, hey, you ever thought about the voice? You sound great.

You sound great.
