Description
From the 2019 film "Breakthrough", which tells the incredible true story of a Missouri teen whose heart stopped beating for 45 minutes after he fell through a layer of ice atop a frozen lake, comes this Dianne Warren-penned, gospel-themed soliloquy of the boy's mother, who never gave up hope. This is a chance for your singers to dig deep into emotional reserves to send a resounding message.

More about this title
About the Artist: Chrissy Metz
Chrissy Metz rose to prominence through her role as Molly Weast on the NBC series "This Is Us," where her powerful dramatic work earned widespread acclaim. Beyond acting, she has cultivated a genuine singing voice that brings authenticity to her musical performances, particularly in projects that explore themes of faith, resilience, and human triumph.
Why we love this
Mac Huff's arrangement honors the raw emotional core of Dianne Warren's composition without overselling it. The orchestration supports rather than overwhelms the choir, creating space for singers to connect authentically with a narrative of maternal faith and unwavering hope. This is the kind of piece that reminds audiences why we program music in the first place.
What to expect
A personal testimony delivered with conviction. The music carries both the ache of desperation and the quiet strength of someone who has chosen to believe against the odds. It feels conversational and intimate, even when sung by a full choir.
Who it's for
Choirs seeking repertoire that engages singers emotionally without requiring advanced vocal technique. This works equally well for high school choirs building confidence in contemporary pop idioms and community or adult ensembles drawn to meaningful storytelling through music.
How to get the most out of it
- Build the dynamic arc intentionally from verse to climax. This song lives on restraint until the moment demands release, so resist the urge to sing full voice early.
- Shape phrasing around the text's emotional beats rather than harmonic phrases. Where the lyrics pivot (hope, faith, belief), let that guide your breath placement and dynamic shifts.
- Balance the melody line so it remains visible even as instrumental colors deepen. The message depends on clarity, not volume.
How to use it
Program this as a centerpiece for a concert exploring resilience, faith, or real-life narratives transformed into art. It pairs naturally with other film or contemporary pop arrangements, or it can stand alone as a powerful emotional pivot point between lighter selections and more demanding classical repertoire.
