Rhema Marvanne's 'O Holy Night' Is Heartbreaking: 7-Year-Old Sings Like Angel In Memory Of Her Mom

Rhema Marvanne's solo rendition of "O Holy Night" is heartbreakingly moving, and she was just seven years old when she recorded it.

The tiny songstress has a heavenly voice, and she takes inspiration from someone that she believes is up above as well-- her mother Wendi, who died from ovarian cancer in 2008, just one year before this song was recorded.

Marvanne told the Fort Hood Sentinel, “When I sing, it makes me think of my mother, which makes me happy. I want to take my gift that makes me happy and share with those who are still sad and try to make them happy again.”

Watch it for yourself, and get ready for a jaw-dropping moment at 4:17.

I have goosebumps and tears. This is also my favorite Christmas song. I've heard it sung by many wonderful voices, but this one trumps them all because of the whole story and the age of this little girl. The giggling at the end, the blowing of the kiss, the just plain beauty of this child - well, I'm truly speechless. Losing her mother at such a young age is so sad, but she has a voice that is a gift.

Thank you for this. It made my day in a season/week of watching people act crazy and nasty on their mission to buy, buy, buy, buy.
