Sharing the spirit of the Easter season, BYU Men’s Chorus has released new music about the life, sacrifice and grace of Jesus Christ. In this solemn hymn, “Were You There?” the chorus, conducted by Brent Wells, evokes the depths of Christ’s sacrifice, and His triumphant rise from the tomb. "Were You There," arranged by Jamey Ray, originated as an African-American spiritual, and carries a message of hope and redemption.
A new Men's Chorus EP, "He Sent His Son," includes four new songs for streaming/download.

I first sung this as a very very small girl in the 1960s at Catholic school. It remains as beautiful today as then and particularly when sung so well by these impressive young men.

Look up “Welsh men’s choir, where you there?” It’s an entire stadium full of men singing this. I think it was upwards of 50,000 men.

My church's choir is singing this at our Good Friday service tonight. If we can sound one-tenth as good, I will be ecstatic.

We sang it as a congregation last night. Lovely song but hard for untrained voices to do justice to it. This version was awesome

I feel like shouting GLORY! when I watch and hear this magnificent choir sing this inspiring hymn. They are the modern version of Helaman's stripping warriors! I am a proud (And humble) graduate of BYU! "God's University". No doubt about it! Semper Fi! 🫡🤗🙏👍

@vonsowards1297 2 месяца назад

I take issue with worship music that is overly repetitive (it feels a bit brainwash-y), however it can be well don’t when each recycle of the phrase brings a new perspective on what is being said. A building of message with each repetition. This song exemplifies that feeling very beautifully! (Also, a bit of repetitive songs become very irreverent. We’re You There gives reverence to the subject)

@internationalartists 2 месяца назад

New music? This song is from the 1800s, and is a spiritual, and all other denominations in know this song. So late to the game.

@BYU 2 месяца назад

Yes - we should have stated more accurately in the description that this is a new recording, not a new song. In the full RU-vid description, we do acknowledge its origins as a spiritual. Thank you for sharing your comment.
