Music Mondays

As I am compiling this list of re-mixed hymns, I have realized that there are multiple good versions of the same hymn.

That is certainly the case with this week's selection. "How Great Thou Art" may be the most popular hymn of all time, next to "Amazing Grace". In fact, it was rated as such by Christianity Today in 2001. Numerous versions have been song by many different artists from George Beverly Shea to Elvis Presley.

One recent modern interpretation was performed by country superstar Carrie Underwood who was accompanied by fellow country music legend Vince Gill. This was part of a CBS show featuring various female stars of country music. Far from a church service or evangelistic crusade, it's powerful to observe the responses of the audience by the end.

I hope you enjoy this great mix of excellent, heartfelt vocal performance and a powerful God-glorifying anthem:
