Mercy Me - I Can Only Imagine - A Cappella Cover - Chris Rupp (Official Video) 

This song became so poignant to me this fall, when my Uncle Bill Schacht was. Found unconscious by one of his grown daughters and it was finally decided that he was ready for hospice. As the emergency folks got him ready to get wheeled into their vehicle, they thought he would enter a complete coma, given his poor vital signs, instead he lapsed into-- Christmas songs and hymns! For almost twelve hours of his last really conscious day on earth, he sang and sang, even insisting on a change of doctors when the one assigned him would not sing along. I think he had probably gotten close to going over Jordan, and as we can can only imagine, look through the glass darkly, he saw a little deeper and planned to come into His courts with praise. Thank you for your beautiful interpretation. God bless.

this song was played at my aunt's funeral a few weeks ago...she fought cancer for 5 years and she has now won the battle and rests in heaven with her earthly father and her Heavenly Father. She is definitely dancing for him right now! Thanks for uploading this, it's really touched me haha...

Chris, you had an incredible journey to get to where you are today. It must have been difficult to let go and move in a different direction. Obviously you were called by God to share your many talents with us. What is music without someone like you to bring it to the hearts of the people. No surprise that you still continue to amaze!

The moment I needed a pick me up when feeling down, and you bring this to me. You have no idea how much this lifted me up to the point of tears. Thank you for getting me out of a ditch when I really needed a sign that things will be okay. God picked well when he decided to give you a voice to lift Him up.

My daddy tuned 80 last week this was his most loved song on the 3 of July he is now sleeping now Happy Father’s Day 🥰

I've never been a fan of contemporary Christian music - but the way you perform it, with integrity and in such a heartfelt way, has made all the difference..

As an essential worker this pandemic has made me lose my mind thank God 🙏 for this Mercy Me song. I can only imagine when this mess will be over and we can go back to near normal

your cd was my best friend for the last 5 days while i was in the hospital talk about soothing and hearing the word of God and songs of our Lord

God imagined us before He created us, and He created us with an imagination. Brings new meaning to being created in God's image.

Mesmerizing this song was. I reacted to this thanks to my loyal patron who requested it. Sending you support this holiday season and every season!!!

Perfect timing. I have been listening to the original version of this song all week. My grandmother passed away Monday this song has been giving me comfort. Thank you for your version of this Chris.

I love your heart for the Lord. You are an inspiration, Chris.

I LOVE THIS SONG I CAN HERE OVER N OVER .I ALSO HAVE IT AS MY RING TONE..COMING FROM A DRUG ADDICT THAT I WAS FOR 15 YRS..NOW I SAY TO MY SELF .HOW COULD I'VE BEEN SO DECEIVED BY THE SATAN...THANKS TO THE ALL MIGHTY GOD..I SEE A WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD...NOW THAT I GOT JESUS CHRIST IN MY LIFE..I CANT EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL..NOW!! ALL I CAN SAY IS '' THANK YOU LORD "".. I FEEL SO MUCH LOVE FOR MY LIRD N SAVIOR....O JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT TO SOMEONE..T.T.G!!!!!

Well, this is a song that touches me deeply. It paints such an incredible picture of what we get to look forward to when we get to journey Home to eternity with Jesus. I haven't been abe to listen to it since we played it at Mama's Life Celebration in March because I end up in a puddle of emotion. Hearing your version blessed my heart in many ways...thank you for sharing your gift....blessings to you from Albany, Oregon

When someone sings a song with powerful words and combines it with a rich voice....makes my heart heavy with emotions, to the core. So heavy that the tears trickle down and leave tracks in my identity.

I am not going to comment on this song,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, mainly because as I am recovering from the goose bumps on my arms, I am speechless.enough said................ hahaha well done Mr Rupp job well done indeed.

Great rendition. This is actually my song that I chose to learn for my voice lessons. I'd love to see more Christian contemporary stuff from you! God bless!

Chris , this is just stunning! Man, I pray often that the Lord blesses you.

Ok, the more I listen to your songs, the more I am loving your voice, you are so talented. I am really loving your gospel music, I've got a lot more to do, but I am loving it so far.
