Chris Rupp’s Stunning A Cappella Rendition of ‘Lift High The Cross’

The incredibly gifted and skilled Chris Rupp has turned in a stunning a cappella rendition of the beloved hymn “Lift High the Cross.” The world is full of lost and hurting people struggling to simply make it through each day. Many are looking for even the slightest, the tiniest glimmer of hope. They are crying and reaching out for any help, anything at all that will ease their pain and suffering.

Thankfully, there is one who can ease their pain, put their minds at rest, and give them the peace they so desperately desire. Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, willingly went to the cross and suffered and died for sinners, both you and me included. 

The cross, the spot of the Savior’s pain and eventual death, is also a sign of the ultimate sacrifice and His never-ending love. It was at the cross that Christ took our spot. He bled and died so that we might someday experience eternal life with Him.

In the video, Chris performs the hymn “Lift High the Cross,” which is about Christ dying on the cross. However, that is not the end. Three days later, He arose, leaving an empty tomb and willing the ultimate victory over sin, death, and shame.

The beautifully written lyrics perfectly and accurately articulate Christ’s love, signified by the cross and the price Christ willingly paid for you and me.

“Lift high the cross
The love of Christ proclaim
Till all the world adore
His sacred name”

As he always does, Chris knocks it out of the park with his outstanding vocal performance. He demonstrates his incredible musical talent and gifts. The entire rendition is him creating those sounds himself, using only his voice.

The video is also beautifully shot. Chris walks along a beach with the ocean behind him as the waves crash along the rocks.

1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction, but to us who are on the way to salvation, it is the power of God.”
