It's a song that's been covered hundreds of times by various artists and has won multiple awards and accolades. Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up" quickly reached the top of the Billboard charts when it was released in 2003.

Now, a talented group of singers from Brigham Young University has released their own version of the iconic song, and the results are nothing short of spectacular.

Vocal Point, a male a cappella group from BYU, has been performing unique renditions of popular songs since their inception in 1991. Although they have amassed a large following of loyal fans over the years, no song has put them on the map quite like their performance of "You Raise Me Up."

The video, which was uploaded to YouTube on August 14, 2018, has already been viewed over 2 million times, and for good reason. Their take on the beloved pop hit is very moving and has touched the hearts of the millions that have listened to it.

Filmed among the breathtaking mountains and fields of Utah and Oregon, the video follows the eight-member group as they belt out the beautiful song lyrics. Some moments show the performers singing solo while other moments show the group singing in harmony.

The chills really begin to develop when the group is joined by dozens of choir members halfway through the song. As they lift their eyes to the heavens and raise their voices, it's as if God himself is shining his approving light down on them.
