Ketterer and his wife Ivy, are the parents of six children, five of which were adopted through foster care. Cowell choked back tears when telling Ketterer what an inspiration he is to everyone on the show.
"Michael, as a dad I can't imagine what you've done. And the fact that you're on this show and you
really need this — I don't know, you're a really special guy. I don't know, there's something about you,"
Cowell said.
The other judges agreed with Cowell.
"We just need more men like you," said judge Heidi Klum.
The following day, after his performance, the couple released a video to Youtube titled "I Am Second,"

LoveMusic! - God of Wonders - Paul Baloche
God of Wonders
Paul Baloche
Nov. 11, 2017
Greetings LoveMusic! listeners.
In the year 2000, the song Open the Eyes of My Heart came out, and churches all across the world sang it for the next 15 years and still counting. As a result, Paul Baloche, now an Integrity Music worship leader, became known by many from his home in Lindale, Texas.
A year later in 2001 he introduced to Christian contemporary music followers, and worship leaders across America, the next wonderful song to be added to churches' popular song lists - God of Wonders. Being a subscriber to Integrity Music's Hosanna! Music, and as worship leader myself, it was soon added to my song list for Sunday morning.
What a great song. Thank you Paul!
Sing along as you did back then, and rejoice that we serve the Almighty God, the God of all wonders!
Ahava and shalom,
Steve Martin
Love For His People

P.S. And after you have listened to God of Wonders, listen to this one too! Jesus You Are (written by Paul Baloche.)
God of Wonders
Lord of all creation
Of the water, earth and sky
The Heavens are Your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
Of the water, earth and sky
The Heavens are Your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
God of wonders, beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Lord of Heaven and Earth
So Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
And as I stumble into darkness (I will call Your name by night)
I will call Your name by night
I will celebrate the light
And as I stumble into darkness (I will call Your name by night)
I will call Your name by night
God of wonders, beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of Heaven and Earth (Lord of Heaven and Earth)
Lord of Heaven and Earth (Lord of Heaven and Earth)
Lord of Heaven and Earth (Lord of Heaven and Earth)
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Hallelujah to the Lord of Heaven and earth
Sing God of wonders

Worship Leader Chris Blue WINS 'The Voice' Singing Competition
May 24, 2017 by Will Maule HELLO CHRISTIAN
Worship leader and gospel vocalist Chris Blue has WON 'The Voice' season 12, after spending a lot of the competition performing worship tracks. Blue, worship leader from Knoxville, Tenn, performed original song Money on You; a duet with Keys of Prince's Diamonds and Pearls; and Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation, on Monday's performance finale, according to USA Today.
Then, on Tuesday he performed Everybody Hurts with Usher, before being announced the winner. Blue, a committed Christian, took to twitter to thank God. Plus, he sees the gift of $100,000 as a true blessing, as he can now give his fiancee the "wedding she desires." His partner Stephanie has been battling cancer.
"My fiancée, she called me in tears about a month ago, because we just did not have the money" to afford a nice wedding, he said. " We had to take a lot of things away from our already-stripped-down wedding. We didn't even have wedding (invitations). Couldn't afford it. The church wasn't even going to be decorated. Couldn't afford it."
Now, Stephanie is in for a truly memorable day.
"I'd love to have Alicia (Keys) fly out, and we'd sing (Prince's) Diamonds and Pearls to my fiancee,"said Blue.
Watch his winning performance below.
Coach @aliciakeys!!!! We did it!!!! We did it!!!! We did it!!!! Ahhhhhhhh thank you @NBCTheVoice!! Thank you America!!thank u GOD!!

Worship Leader Chris Blue Stuns on 'The Voice' to Get Top 10 Finalist Spot - JESSILYN JUSTICE CHARISMA NEWS
Worship Leader Chris Blue Stuns on 'The Voice' to Get Top 10 Finalist Spot
Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Worship leader Chris Blue landed a top 10 finalist spot on The Voice this week with an emotional tribute to his fiancee.
Blue, a member of Team Alicia (Keys) wowed the judges and folks at home with his rendition of "When a Man Loves a Woman," dedicated to his fiancée, who has been battling cancer.
"Yaaalll Because of GOD and YOU I'm running into the next round like ..." Blue tweeted with a GIF (Graphics Interchange Format, a compressed photo format) of himself.
Before his debut on The Voice, Blue was a worship leader at Cokesbury United Methodist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.
As he was preparing for his audition this season, Blue says he almost didn't try out because of his fiancée's cancer battle.
"When everything happened with my fiancée and her story, I realized that life was just too short," Blue says. "And after God was kind of pushing me to go forth, and I was declining and saying 'No. This can't be ...' I asked that He would just confirm, and He did, and when He did, I would say that really did help push me and helped me overcome the fear and just do it."
He tells the Knoxville News Sentinel he had a simple strategy for his audition.
"Don't mess up. Don't forget any words. Don't embarrass yourself or your family. Don't embarrass Jesus.' Aside from that man, just saying 'You know what. This is it. The moment is right now, and ... there's a chance that you may not get another one. Because of that (I'm) going to give it everything right here right now.' And so that was my mindset. I tried not to focus on the coaches. I tried to take myself back to my childhood. My mom brought us up in church, and my dad brought us up in church, and so we would go around singing and traveling the state of Florida."
Congrats on your top-10 spot, Blue!
