Victims of Harvey flooding break into gospel song at shelter in heartwarming video

People displaced by the enormous storm pounding Texas may have lost homes and possessions, but they haven't lost their voices.

That much is evident in a viral video of a woman bursting into gospel song at a Texas convention center being used to house victims of Harvey.

In a video that has been viewed millions of times, a woman’s soaring voice prompts others to join in.

Commenters were warmed by the uplifting moment, with thousands chiming in to register their praise.

Singer Victoria White posted on her Facebook account about being inundated with messages and friend requests afterwards.

“This blows me AWAY (and that's no easy task)!” Ms White wrote.

“I had no idea this was being recorded, but God had a plan!

"Not only did He want to Love on those gathered in Lonestar Expo Center who suffered loss at the hands of Hurricane Harvey, but He wanted to love on people across the world who were dealing with their own personal storms!!!”
