Hymns

An unbelievably gifted trio of musicians delivered a stunning rendition of the beloved, classic hymn “The Old Rugged Cross.”

Without Christ’s death, no one would have hope or the opportunity for eternal life. Instead, all would be destined for hell, lost for all eternity. It is the punishment and the end that we all undoubtedly deserve.

However, as John 3:16 tells us, God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son to Earth. His Son, Jesus Christ, would then willingly give up Himself and go to the cross, suffering and eventually dying on our behalf. He suffered greatly on that wretched cross for you and me.

Christ’s love, selflessness and forgiveness on the cross changed everything forever. And no song better describes the importance of Calvary and the cross than the hymn “The Old Rugged Cross.” In a clip posted on YouTube, three youngsters beautifully perform the tune about the cross and, more importantly, what it has come to represent: Christ’s love and willing sacrifice for a dying, hurt and lost world.

You are, without question, incredibly familiar with this tune. However, that familiarity does not diminish the beauty of the song’s lyrics in the slightest. Those words will likely move you, causing you to react emotionally as if you’re hearing them for the first time.

“On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

The emblem of suffering and shame

And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

For a world of lost sinners was slain”

The vocal performances from all three of the young children are outstanding. Each shows how the Lord has blessed them with an incredible amount of musical talent. However, like with any “The Old Rugged Cross performance,” the lyrics steal the show. Those words are undeniably powerful and moving, telling of Christ’s love and sacrifice on the cross. 

1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the word of the cross seems foolish to those who are on the way to destruction; but to us who are on the way to salvation it is the power of God.

In a world where music often relies on elaborate instrumentation, this man’s stunning a cappella version of ‘Blessed Assurance’ will touch your heart.

Andrew's version of ‘Blessed Assurance’ is nothing short of magical. By recording each part—tenor, soprano, alto, and bass—individually, he weaves together a tapestry of harmonies that create the illusion of a full quartet performing in perfect harmony. The result is a rich, immersive sound that elevates the timeless hymn to new heights.

The depth of emotion conveyed through Andrew's voice is palpable. Each recording layer, carefully crafted and harmoniously blended, creates a powerful and moving experience.

Prepare to be moved as you listen to Andrew’s stunning rendition. The beauty of his a cappella arrangement promises to touch your heart and renew your sense of peace and assurance.

Exodus 15:2 “The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.”

This girl is taking the internet by storm. A young woman captivates with her beautiful cover of ‘Amazing Grace.’

Hannah D sits casually in her room with her stunningly detailed guitar. She begins to sing. Her trills and purity in her voice are captivating. They will draw you in to want to hear more. The way she sings this song with her voice causes you to go into a place of reflection and praise. Her voice is relaxing and calming but unique and intriguing. Hannah is a true musical artist. She does not just sing a song to sing it. She really puts herself into the song and makes it her own.

The lyrics to the chorus of this song sing out the truth of the gospel. 

‘I once was lost, but now am found,

was blind, but now I see.’

Amazing Grace is a timeless song that reminds us of the continual message of the gospel of Jesus that transforms our lives. We were lost without Him and we were blind, but now we are found and we see. We need reminders like this video of His abundant grace.

Hannah almost has a gentle yodel about her voice. She smiles at the camera as she sings. She has incredible tone quality and tone painting of her song. She is also not flashy; she is just herself and worshiping in the quietness of her home.

At the end of her performance, she smiles sweetly at the camera. This clip stirs our hearts to worship the Lord and welcomes us into His peace. Whatever you are going through, take the time to listen to this heartfelt moment.

“Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” John 1:16-17

Check out this adorable live performance of a precious duo. Two little girls deliver a heartwarming performance of ‘Amazing Grace’ in church.

At the start of this video, the two little girls are at the front of their church. One is seated at the piano and one is standing with the microphone. The lead singer greets the congregation, she says, “Good morning church and happy sabbath.” They respond, “Happy sabbath.” She adorably introduces their song, ‘Amazing Grace.’ 

The younger girl begins to play the introduction, and the older one starts singing confidently. Hearing these two young people sing this timeless song of praise reminds us that the gospel is reaching every generation. The girls' names are Fiona and Nora. 

They surprise with two key changes at the end. It is so pretty hearing the piano and vocals. Their confidence and enjoyment of music are contagious. You cannot help but smile as you watch them worship with joy in front of their church. At the end of their song, the crowd cheers, and the two girls shyly smile and appear proud of their performance. 

The lyrics to the chorus of this song sing out the truth of the gospel. 

‘I once was lost, but now am found,

was blind, but now I see.’

Hearing anyone sing this song is powerful, especially if there are children singing it. Teaching the truths of Jesus to the next generation is such an important calling to all believers. When we hear young people singing the gospel, it ministers to us and reveals how God is speaking to even the youngest people. 

“He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,” 2 Timothy 1:9

One man turned in an awe-inspiring and captivating rendition of the beloved hymn "Just a Little Talk with Jesus."

God gives each person a different set of skills and abilities. Musicians are a unique group of people who have been blessed with the God-given gift of creating beautiful sounds. Using the strength and beauty of their voices or nimble, quick-moving fingers, musicians produce sounds that are pleasant to the ear.

Of course, these musical gifts are given to individuals so that they may bring glory and honor to His name. With their talent, they might sing a lyric that ministers or touches someone's heart. They could help lead someone who desperately needs help and hope to the Lord. As seen in Sunday morning services every week, music is powerful.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one man uses his God-given musical abilities to sing and praise the Lord by performing an outstanding version of the song "Just a Little Talk with Jesus." Of course, it's a tune about how Jesus Christ can and does change lives.

The song's simple but powerful opening verse tells listeners how Jesus can change a life immediately. He freely offers the forgiveness of sins and salvation to all who earnestly call upon His name. As the song mentions, after that prayer, that interaction with Him, you'll never be the same again.

"I once was lost in sin, but Jesus took me in

And then a little light from heaven filled my soul

He bathed my heart in love, and He wrote my name above

And just a little talk with Jesus makes me whole"

What a beautiful song and performance about Christ's love, forgiveness and grace. We are all sinners, having fallen short of God's glory. We all need a talk with Jesus, and it will make all the difference in the world.

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Two talented musicians turned in a powerful, moving duet performance of the beloved and classic hymn “In the Sweet By and By.”

Hymns are beautiful pieces of music that tell of Christ’s love, forgiveness, mercy and grace. Most are timeless classics that have held up well over the years, even though, in some cases, several of them are hundreds of years old. The messages and lyrics of those songs are as relevant today as when they were first written.

Even though it is true that hymns are still necessary and relevant pieces of music, many churches have moved away from them. Some places of worship may sprinkle hymns in the praise and worship portion of their services here and there. The majority of churches, though, have chosen to sing and perform contemporary Christian tunes. How could we ever leave out and move away from hymns like “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “In The Garden” and “Amazing Grace?”

In a clip posted on YouTube, two women give a lovely rendition of another of those hymns: “In The Sweet By and By.” Of course, the song is about heaven, where there is no sickness, heartache, pain or death. It’s also a tune that many can likely sing entirely from memory.

The song’s beautiful, iconic and memorable chorus describes what every follower of Christ is striving and working toward. It is where He has gone and prepared a place for you, me and every other Christian.

“In the sweet by and by

We shall meet on that beautiful shore

In the sweet by and by

We shall meet on that beautiful shore”

At the end of their fabulous performance, the two talented ladies receive applause from several individuals, showing them their appreciation for their musical efforts.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Check out this beautiful performance of the hymn ‘Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing’ from the group Hymns Of Grace.

‘Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace;

Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.

Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above;

Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love.’

What a wonderful performance of this beloved hymn! The singers' voices are so clear and warm, and the instrumentalists are so talented. The whole production is beautiful and moving.

The singers and musicians in this group make up Hymns of Grace, a group that encourages believers in the worship of the one true God. According to their YouTube page, Hymns of Grace’s mission is to provide resources that focus on God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit as revealed in the Word of God. They seek to produce musical material that focuses on God, His Word, and the Gospel story, melding beautiful melodies with eternal truth.

When it comes to the classic hymn ‘Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing’ that was performed in this video, that song was written in May 1758 by Robert Robinson. After running with a bad crowd when he was a teen, he became a Christian a few years after stumbling upon evangelist George Whitefield preaching in London on May 24, 1752. Then Robert began preaching in Methodist and Baptist churches, and when he was only 22 years old, he penned ‘Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing’ for his sermon on Pentecost Sunday.

We hope that you enjoyed this stunning rendition of ‘Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing’ from the group Hymns Of Grace today and it was able to uplift you in some way.

Listen to this captivating duet of the hymn ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand.’

‘Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand,

I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;

Through the storm, through the night,

Lead me on to the light’

What a beautiful cover of this lovely hymn! The woman singing the melody in this video is Angie Sutherland, and the other woman singing the harmony is her cousin, Heather. They sound so wonderful together!

“Got to visit my cousin Heather and her precious family,” writes Angie in the caption of her YouTube video. “I love my family so much. I have missed getting to sing with her. It seems like it’s been so long.”

Angie is from a small town in West Virginia, and she loves to praise the Lord. And when she shares her videos online, she uplifts and encourages those who watch them with her lovely covers of classic hymns.

“Oh, man. Praise the Lord. This blessed me,” comments one person online after watching the video on YouTube. “I know it's gonna bless others. Thank you, Ms. Heather and Ms. Angie.”

“You two harmonize superbly! Love it,” writes another person online.

As for ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand,’ the author of this hymn was Thomas Andrew Dorsey. He was known as the “Father of Black Gospel Music” and combined African American church hymns such as those by Methodist minister Charles A. Tindley, with blues and jazz.

Although he had hundreds of jazz and blues songs to his credit, Dorsey turned to gospel music and wrote ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand’ in Chicago in 1932 following the tragic death of his wife Nettie and infant son during childbirth. This is one hymn that has been recorded many times over the years by famous singers, including Elvis Presley, Mahalia Jackson, Roy Rogers, and Tennessee Ernie Ford. President Lyndon B. Johnson even requested the hymn to be sung at his funeral.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this rendition of ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand’ today!

Listen to this moving live performance from the Gaither Vocal Band of the hymn ‘Yes, I Know.’

‘Come ye sinners, lost and lonely

Jesus blood can make you free 

For He saved the worst among you 

When He saved a wretch like me’

What a great song reminding us how Jesus can save anyone, even the worst sinners. The message of redemption and assurance fills the song, offering listeners the promise of forgiveness and new life when they turn to Christ. And listening to all the voices in this video sing out the truth in ‘Yes, I Know’ is very heartwarming.

“Praise you Father that there's nothing we can do that you can't whitewash,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“Wonderful song. It blesses me each time I listen,” another person writes online.

The song ‘Yes, I Know’ was written by Anna W. Waterman in 1920, and in 1995, Gaither Vocal Band released their version of the song as part of their album Southern Classics, Volume II. 

The wonderful voices of the vocal group, which included Bill Gaither, Reggie Smith, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, and Todd Suttles, contributed to the popularity of the release of ‘Yes, I Know.’ However, the meaning behind the song is also to be highlighted, which captures people’s interest. 

‘Yes, I Know’ is a simple song with an unwavering message of hope. The lyrics serve as a reminder that we are never alone and can overcome any obstacle with the help of God. And that is the type of encouragement everyone needs, especially during life’s challenges. We hope you enjoyed listening to ‘Yes, I Know’ from the Gaither Vocal Band today!

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

Listen to this captivating duet of the hymn ‘Precious Lord, Take My Hand.’

‘Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand,

I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;

Through the storm, through the night,

Lead me on to the light’

What a beautiful cover of this lovely hymn! The woman singing the melody in this video is Angie Sutherland, and the other woman singing the harmony is her cousin, Heather. They sound so wonderful together!

Check out this talented vocalist singing a fantastic a cappella cover of the song ‘Holy Forever’ by Chris Tomlin.

‘A thousand generations falling down in worship

To sing the song of ages to the Lamb

And all who've gone before us and all who will believe

Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb’

What a great rendition of this wonderful song! The singer in the video is Andrew Martin, who has been recording a cappella hymns and sharing them online since 2016. What a great way to use his gifts to glorify God! Andrew sings the alto, soprano, tenor, and bass parts in the video. And it sounds amazing when he blends all the parts!

‘Holy Forever’ is a powerful song from Chris Tomlin that invites us to engage in something that is far bigger than us – eternal worship to our Heavenly Father.

"I just tried to capture a piece of Heaven in this song that never ends, this eternal song,” shares Chris Tomlin. “What's amazing is that there is an eternal song and we know the lyrics. It’s 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.' That's what the Bible says throughout, and in Revelation, it says, 'Day and night, they never stopped saying it.’”

The song ‘Holy Forever’ was released in September 2022 as part of Chris Tomlin’s album titled Always. 

“The idea is that we think about ‘always’ as that of eternal, everlasting, infinite,” says Chris Tomlin as he shares the meaning behind the album’s title. “That’s who God is. And reminding people that we serve a God who is faithful, even if we’re faithless. He is faithful to us. He’s an Always God.”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this a cappella rendition of ‘Holy Forever’ and that it was able to uplift and encourage you today!

One young man turned in a stunning and awe-inspiring a cappella cover of the beloved hymn "The Lily of the Valley."

Many in the world are lost, crying and reaching out for some hope, even the tiniest glimmer. They desperately need and want something or someone in which to place their hope and faith. Many of those individuals are experiencing hurt or struggling and badly want it to stop. The world is a lost and fallen place. 

There is one who can do all of that and much more than we could possibly ever imagine. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world who has been sent to forgive sins and save humanity from an eternity of pain and anguish. But He is also capable of much more, caring and providing for our every need in this life.

The classic, timeless hymn "The Lily of the Valley" mentions all the ways that Jesus Christ can and will assist us in our daily lives. Yes, He is willing and able to answer our prayers for forgiveness, but He wants to and will do so much more in our lives. In a clip posted on YouTube, one young man beautifully performs this hymn, reminding us of how Jesus Christ touches and blesses our lives.

The young man's vocal performance is spectacular. It's a beautiful rendition of that hymn loved by many that shows the power and capability of the human voice. It's a lovely performance and one that you're likely to return to on multiple occasions.

But the song's lyrics are even more stunning than the young man's vocal performance. There is nothing that Jesus Christ can and won't do in our lives, and this hymn perfectly describes it all. There isn't a need that we could have that Christ is not capable of fulfilling or meeting.

Praise His excellent name!

Philippians 4:19 "And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus."

The incredibly talented members of Celtic Thunder delivered a beautiful and soul-stirring performance of the most beloved hymn of all time, “Amazing Grace.”

Churches play various songs during the praise and worship portion of their Sunday morning service. Anyone who has attended a place of worship for any amount of time can easily rattle off several of the songs typically sung in church. Some will be your favorites, while others are some that you would rather not hear or sing ever again.

Regardless of personal preference, all those tunes are beautifully written and usually about Christ’s love, forgiveness, faithfulness and mercy. There are also many songs about the hope we have in Jesus Christ. But no matter the song a praise and worship team may perform, there is one that will never be topped: “Amazing Grace.”

The hymn’s lyrics accurately capture a feeling and a place where we’ve all found ourselves at one time. We are all sinners lost, but because of the grace of God and Christ’s love, we have been found. And after accepting Christ’s gift of forgiveness and eternal salvation, our eyes are now open. We are not and will never do anything to be worthy of God’s love and forgiveness.

Simply put, “Amazing Grace” is a timeless classic that has been played and performed hundreds and thousands of times. In a clip posted on YouTube, the guys from Celtic Thunder use their considerable musical talents to beautifully perform the classic church hymn.

Like their other performances, their rendition of “Amazing Grace” is spectacular. This cover of “Amazing Grace,” by some world-class vocalists, is one that you are likely to return to repeatedly.

That opening verse, while so simple, is incredibly powerful. It’s one that everyone likely knows by heart, but it will still move you to tears as if it’s the first time you’ve ever heard those words performed.

Ephesians 2:8 “Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:”

Listen to this powerful rendition of the hymn ‘How Deep The Father’s Love For Us.’

‘How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure,

That He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the chosen One bring many sons to glory.’

What a beautiful rendition of this lovely hymn. The music starts off with a french horn playing, then a clarinet and piano join in. Next, the voices follow, and they sound just heavenly.

The singers and musicians in this group make up Hymns of Grace, a group that exists to encourage believers in the worship of the one true God. According to their YouTube page, Hymns of Grace’s mission is to provide resources that focus on God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit as revealed in the Word of God. They seek to produce musical material that focuses on God, His Word, and the Gospel story, melding beautiful melodies with eternal truth.

“Beautiful, reverential offering. Bless you all, for keeping Jesus at the center of worship,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“Simply sung from hearts full of gratitude. Very honoring to the Lord Jesus,” another person writes online.

The hymn ‘How Deep The Father’s Love For Us’ was written in 1995 by Stuart Townend, and it became an instant classic. The song is now sung in churches all over the world, and Stuart has shared about his experience with writing it.

“I really wanted to set out to write a hymn. I was feeling there were lots of songs around, but there wasn’t a lot of content in the songs, and I really wanted to write something that was more hymn-like,” he said. “I was finding in my own worship leading, I was more and more going back to the hymns to introduce content, and I was thinking, ‘Why is it that we don’t have songs that are full of poetic, powerful language these days?’ So I kind of set out to do that.”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this wonderful rendition of ‘How Deep The Father’s Love For Us.’

Check out this beautiful performance of the hymn ‘Holy God, We Praise Thy Name.’ The beautiful vocals will leave you in awe!

‘Holy God, we praise Thy name; Lord of all, we bow before Thee; 

All on earth Thy scepter claim, all in heav’n above adore Thee. 

Infinite Thy vast domain; everlasting is Thy reign’

What a stunning performance! The singers in the video sound so lovely together, and the harmonies that can be heard during the song are wonderful.

The singers in the group make up Hymns of Grace, and the group exists to encourage believers in the worship of the one true God.

They seek to produce musical material that focuses on God, His Word, and the Gospel story, melding beautiful melodies with eternal truth.

When it comes to the background of the hymn ‘Holy God, We Praise Thy Name,’ the original lyrics were written in German by Catholic priest Ignaz Franz in 1771. The first printing of the hymn was in 1776 in Vienna, where ‘Holy God, We Praise Thy Name’ became part of the Catholic hymnal.

The song became known in the United States in the 19th century, and in 1858, it was translated into English by Clarence A. Walworth. Due to its memorable melody and theme, it is one of the most popular hymns and prevalent in German-speaking communities. 

We hope that you enjoyed this rendition of the hymn ‘Holy God, We Praise Thy Name’ today! May the song uplift you and bring you some encouragement. And may the lyrics remind us of how our Heavenly Father deserves our endless praise.

A church’s praise and worship team turned in a powerful and moving performance of the beloved classic hymn “How Great Thou Art.”

Hymns are beautiful pieces of music that accurately and perfectly describe the Lord’s love, faithfulness, mercy and grace. No matter how many times you may have heard a particular hymn, the beautifully written lyrics are bound to cause you to have an emotional reaction every time. You may have listened to a hymn 5,000 times, but it doesn’t matter; your eyes will inevitably well up with tears.

Sadly, many churches have abandoned the old hymns. Their worship leaders and teams have decided to concentrate more on contemporary Christian music. However, those timeless hymns are still as relevant and powerful today as when they were first written. Everyone needs to become acquainted with hymns. No contemporary Christian music tune will ever top “Amazing Grace,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness” or “How Great Thou Art.”

In a clip posted on YouTube, a team of extremely gifted musicians used their God-given talents to bring glory and honor to His name. They give a spirited rendition of “How Great Thou Art.”

“How Great Thou Art” is a song that forces you to stop and think about how the Lord has touched and blessed our lives. We have done nothing to deserve His love, mercy and forgiveness. Yet He continually pours out His love and blessings on us. When considering all of this, how can you not react similarly to and sing out the hymn’s memorable and iconic chorus?

“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou Art, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art, how great Thou art”

If those words don’t cause you to become emotional, then not much will do the trick. We have so much to be thankful for. God is entirely too good to us, a bunch of unworthy sinners.

Titus 3:5 “Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit.”

A massive and incredibly talented choir turned in a chilling rendition of the beloved hymn “It Is Well with My Soul.”

The world is a lost, fallen and sad place. Many people are hurting, struggling and crying out for help and hope. Those individuals want something that will ease the pain and provide momentary relief.

Sadly, this is the current state of our world. People are hurting and lost in a society filled with chaos and disorder. Most people have no idea what peace feels and looks like. They will look every which way trying to find even a minute of tranquility and calm, and always come up empty.

But there is one who provides a peace that surpasses all understanding. When everything around us is hectic and out of control, Jesus Christ can and will provide a place of comfort and peace. He will be the shelter during the storm, a calm presence among the chaos and confusion in the world.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a choir composed of dozens of musically gifted vocalists sings a tune about the peace offered by Jesus Christ. “It is Well with My Soul” is a beloved and beautiful hymn about knowing that whatever happens in this life, Christ is still in control and remains on the throne.

The hymn’s opening verse is lovely. It perfectly captures and articulates the kind of peace and calm offered by Jesus Christ. While they may be more than familiar to followers of Christ, the verse tells of something many in the world don’t know but desperately need.

“When peace like a river, attendeth my way

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well, with my soul”

We can rest assured that whatever we come up against or encounter in life, Christ remains faithful. That is more than enough to give us peace, whatever our lot in life.

John 16:33 “I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world, you have trouble, but take heart! I have overcome the world.”

A moving and emotional performance of the classic and beloved hymn “How Great Thou Art” captivates.

The old church hymns are some of the most beautiful pieces of music. Sadly, they are some of the most underutilized pieces of music as well. Those songs are about Christ’s love, faithfulness, grace and forgiveness. Sure, some of them are hundreds of years old in some cases. But that does not make them any less relevant today than when they were first written.

There are some truly outstanding and talented contemporary Christian musicians. Their songs and incredible talent are helping to spread Jesus Christ's message to those who may not otherwise hear it. However, in my opinion, none of those songs will ever top such hymns as “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “In the Garden,” “Victory in Jesus,” “Amazing Grace” or the many, many others.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a couple of young people gave a soul-stirring performance of another of those beloved hymns, “How Great Thou Art.” It’s a captivating performance. Their incredible musical talent immediately draws you in as you listen to them perform the hymn about the power and greatness of our loving heavenly Father.

I’m not sure there’s a more beautiful song written about God’s power, love and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ going to the cross than “How Great Thou Art.” The lyrics pack an impactful and emotional punch every time you hear it.  Then, of course, there is that iconic and memorable chorus everyone knows by heart.

“Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art”

If that hymn and those words don’t bring a tear to your eye or cause a catch in your throat, I’m not sure that anything will ever do it.

1 John 3:1 “See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was.”
