American Idol’s Season 24 finale turned into a church service Monday night after the newly crowned winner, 25-year-old Hannah Harper, boldly displayed her Christian faith in the winning moment, singing a worship song by Chris Tomlin.
She performed “At The Cross (Love Ran Red),” barely able to sing as tears of gratitude to God flowed from her eyes at the end of the special night.

She publicly declared her trust in Christ, singing, “There’s a place where mercy reigns and never dies… Where all the love I’ve ever felt comes like a flood, comes flowing down.”
As she reached the chorus, singing, “At the cross, at the cross, I surrender my life…” she broke down in tears, moved by the Spirit of God as well as the overwhelming emotions of the moment.
The background singers continued as she mouthed the words, “I’m in awe of You, I’m in awe of You,” and fellow contestants rushed to support her on stage to help her continue.
