God was front and centre at a recent performance on Season 26 of The Voice

14-year-old Jaukeem Forston performed for King & Country's "God Only Knows," bringing all four judges and the entire crowd to their feet.  

Snoop Dog and Michael Bublé could be seen lifting their hands in worship, while Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani were almost brought to tears. 

for King & Country quickly reacted on social media, reposting his performance and letting him know they're now one of his biggest fans. 

"My, what a powerhouse! At only 14?!! Consider us fans, Jaukeem," said the band in a post on Facebook.

Fans also responded saying "He is the platform our country needs right now. He is bold in Jesus' name. Thank you for allowing him to share this song... God only knows!"

"In a world when he could have sung a thousand other songs - he used this platform to glorify God! Bless him," said another fan.

Fortson, who got his start in singing at church, says "God Only Knows' has impacted his life in many ways. 

"God really knows and if you just let him step into your life, he can do the miraculous," said Fortson. "This year, I went into ninth grade and in some classes, work can get a little bit overwhelming. After I heard this song, I could just do my work more and feel calmer. He really knows."

During his blind audition, Jaukeem secured a spot with Reba McEntire. However, during this latest performance, the Knockouts, he was stolen by Team Michael Bublé.

The next episode of The Voice will air on Monday.
