During night one of “The Voice’s” two-part finale, contestant Bodie delivered a powerful worship performance that left the judges speechless.
The California native, who was part of judge Blake Shelton’s team, was a fan favorite during season 22. During Monday night’s finale, Bodie performed “Gratitude” by Christian artist Brandon Lake.

“I know it’s not much/ But I’ve nothing else fit for a king/ Except for a heart singing hallelujah/ Hallelujah,” Bodie sang.
As the performance progressed Bodie powerfully belted out the song accompanied by a choir. The choir raised their hands in worship and the audience held up lights.

“So come on, my soul/ Oh, don’t you get shy on me/ Lift up your song/ ‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs/ Get up and praise the Lord,” he declared in song.
Bodie ended the performance and was noticeably touched by the words he sang.
Host Carson Daly then asked judge Gwen Stefani to share her feedback.
“I’m choking on my tears over here,” Stefani shared. “You have a superpower behind you, it’s a truth. I think it comes from your pure faith that you have…I can’t even speak right now, that was so beautiful.”
John Legend another judge agreed and named Bodie a “leader” saying: “Whatever you want to do, you have that in you.”
His coach, Blake Shelton was at a loss for words just like his wife, Stefani, and said Bodie’s performance was “one of the most moving performances I’ve seen in a long time on this show.”
Season 22 of “The Voice” concluded during Tuesday’s two-hour finale results show. Bodie came in second place but Shelton’s other contestant Bryce Leatherwood took home the victory.
Following the worship performance, Brandon Lake celebrated Bodie on Instagram and was grateful that his song to God was exposed to millions of people through Bodie’s performance

What a beautiful song. I am currently in the hospital with my 8 year old son who’s both lungs collapsed. The doctors had to resus him. We are forever grateful to God for sparing our son’s life.
We can only sing Halleluja.
One of my friends had a vision that a Lion is sitting on his chest projecting him from the enemy . Our son for sure got a Lion on his chest and in his lungs. Thank you Lord. All Glory to God. He is a Miracle Worker.
