It’s like a masterclass in harmony, where every note feels perfectly placed, every emotion genuinely conveyed.
This song holds a special place in the hearts of many. Originally a Swedish hymn penned in the late 19th century, “How Great Thou Art” has been covered by countless artists over the years. But there’s something about Vince and Carrie’s version that stands out. Maybe it’s the way they manage to stay true to its roots while infusing it with their own unique style. Or perhaps it’s the palpable sense of reverence and awe that they bring to the performance.
When you listen to this rendition, you can’t help but feel moved. It’s like being in the presence of something greater than yourself, something that taps into the core of what it means to be human. Have you ever experienced that moment at a concert where everyone just stops and listens, completely enraptured? That’s the magic these two create with this song.
And here’s a fun tidbit: their live performance was recorded at the ACM “Girls’ Night Out: Superstar Women of Country” concert, which celebrated the achievements of women in country music. It’s a fitting backdrop for a song that speaks to the grandeur of creation and the divine.
So, whether you’re having a tough day and need a little lift, or you’re simply a fan of breathtaking vocal performances, give this version of “How Great Thou Art” a listen. Trust me, it’s like a balm for the spirit—a reminder of the power of music to touch our hearts and connect us to something greater. What do you think? Does it give you goosebumps, too?

Lyrics
Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
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
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
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
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
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
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
