The world is filled with the clutter of noise and visuals that often overwhelm our senses. It is in moments of worship that we are reminded of the eternal promise of a glorious future. Canton Junction, a renowned Southern Gospel group, beautifully captures this promise in their worship performance of ‘Jesus Will Outshine Them All’ at the Cornerstone Church Praise Center in San Antonio, Texas, back in 2018.
The song is a poignant reminder of the heavenly glory that awaits us. “Oh, what glory awaits me in Heaven’s bright city when I get there, such sights to behold. A million scenes of rare beauty will demand that I view them; still, Jesus will outshine them all! Mansions will glisten on the hills of Glory, happy reunions on streets of gold; Angel choirs singing glad praises forever, but Jesus will outshine them all,” the song’s lyrics resound.
Canton Junction, composed of Gordon Mote, Casey Rivers, Pastor Matt Hagee, and Tim Duncan, harmoniously blend their voices together to deliver a stunning rendition of this incredible song. Their collective musical prowess has earned them accolades such as the GMA Dove Award for Southern Gospel Album of the Year and the Singing News Fan Award for Favorite Southern Gospel New Traditional Quartet.
The reaction to their performance was deeply heartfelt, with one individual commenting online, “This is wonderfully put together. Jesus will outstand them all. Bless our singers that bring us such joy.” Another person expressed their gratitude online, “As always, I love to listen to each and every one of you. May God always bless you.”
The Bible constantly reminds us of the radiant glory of Jesus. In Revelation 21:23 (NIV), it is written, “The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.” This scripture not only reaffirms the lyrics of the song but also aligns with the performance’s central theme – that Jesus, the Lamb of God, is the ultimate source of light that outshines all other beauties and wonders of heaven.
The song is a gentle yet powerful reminder that while the splendors of heaven are incomparable to anything on earth, the presence of Jesus is the most magnificent of all. It reassures believers that amidst all the glory and beauty of heaven, the Savior’s radiance will always be the most brilliant.
Canton Junction’s performance of ‘Jesus Will Outshine Them All’ brings solace and encouragement to our hearts, reinforcing the hope that the eternal light of Jesus will always shine brightest. May this beautiful rendition encourage you today and strengthen your faith in the promise of eternal glory.
