📣IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, THE WORD WAS… GOD. 📣

You’ve never heard scripture sung like this before.

A powerful choir performance from Indiana Bible College is going viral on TikTok—and it’s easy to see (and hear) why. It’s not flashy or overly produced. It’s simply a group of students singing the opening words of the Gospel of John… and it will give you chills.

No frills. No edits. Just voices proclaiming, “In the beginning was the Word.” And that’s exactly why it’s hitting different for so many people.

The original TikTok clip caught fire—racking up hundreds of thousands of views—and the demand for the full version was so high that Indiana Bible College uploaded the entire performance to YouTube. And trust us, it’s worth the listen.

What’s even more surprising? It’s not just longtime churchgoers or choir kids who are moved by it. The comments are full of people who don’t identify as Christians but still say they felt something deep while listening.

That’s the power of Scripture.

There’s a reason hymns still hold up for decades—or even centuries—later. When music carries the Word of God, it hits different. It doesn’t just sound good. It speaks truth. It cuts through the noise and connects something eternal to our everyday lives.

If you love when scripture meets music, you’ll enjoy watching Joseph O’Brien and Tara Leigh Cobble (of The Bible Recap) try to guess classic hymns in this fun (and surprisingly tricky) game:

At the end of the day, this viral choir moment is more than just a trend—it’s a reminder. God’s Word still moves people. Whether it’s through a choir, a hymn, or a TikTok, the truth is alive and active. And sometimes, all it takes is one powerful song to remind us that His Word never returns void.

“So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” | Isaiah 55:11
