You may have seen her on Most Talented Kids, Star King, or even the 2011 drama, Machine Gun Preacher, but before all of that Little seven year old Rhema Marvanne became an internet and Youtube marvel with her awesome rendition of "Amazing Grace". Her 2010 released music video for that song launched both her singing career and acting career.

The video begins with a classical choir performance overlooking an old Southern style church surrounded by dirt and a gravel road. Little Rhema steps out of a power blue vehicle wearing an angelic white dress and walks into the church as the music begins to play.

Awash in sunlight as if coming from Heaven itself, Rhema begins her song just as she enters the door and glides over the cracked wooden floors and past the seemingly gigantic pews before taking a seat while never stopping or missing a beat.

From the golden fields of a large farm wearing an equally golden gown, to the stained glass windowed deck of a ivory colored and decorated Southern home, the next few scenes of the video perfectly blended with each and every note she sings. It is the perfect balance of both music and cinematography.

So moving is the piece that near the end of the video when the camera tilts from the cloud filled blue sky to Rhema placing flowers on a grave, it is difficult to not be swept away in the emotional depth of the moment.

Her final note takes us from her face in the golden fields into the sky above. The video then ends just as it began, but with a twist. Instead of focusing on the vehicle itself, see things from a different point of view.

The camera slides past the driver's profile, following Rhema out the door, down the steps, and into the vehicle as a dedication to the memory of her mother scrolls onto the screen. This was not only a video introducing Rhema as an artist, but also a touching work that tied her to her mother, Wendi Marvanne, a singer-songwriter whose life was cut short by ovarian cancer.

Amazing Grace by Rhema Marvanne is an emotional journey from a spectacular young woman with an amazing voice. It is not just something to be seen and enjoyed, it is an experience that touches your soul.

If this video doesn't melt your heart, we don't know what will. You and everyone else need to see this magical performance.
