Some songs settle into the soul like an old friend carrying the weight of the moment, like this powerful performance of ‘How Great Thou Art’. You can’t help but lift your hands in surrender, whisper a prayer in praise, or let tears slip down your face in awe of God’s majesty. ‘How Great Thou Art’ is just one of those songs.
And in the hands of Keith and Kristyn Getty? It becomes something even more.
It’s one thing to sing a hymn—it’s another to invite the entire room to stand on holy ground. From the moment the first notes rang out in their live performance, it was as if heaven leaned in, and suddenly, the weight of eternity pressed close. The melody swelled, not just in music but in meaning, a living, breathing act of worship that made you pause, hands stilled, breath caught, heart wide open.
The Gettys have long been known for their ability to make hymns live again—to take timeless truth and breathe fresh life into it, making ancient words feel as immediate as the air in your lungs. Their songs—In Christ Alone, Christ Our Hope in Life and Death—are sung by millions across the globe, voices raised in unity, proclaiming a gospel that never fades.
Kristyn’s voice, clear as a mountain stream, carried the words with such reverence, such wonder, that you could almost hear the stars singing along—the very heavens declaring the glory of the One who spoke them into being. And yet, at this moment, with this hymn, they reminded us all of something profoundly simple and stunningly powerful:
Worship isn’t just about a song—it’s about wonder. And oh, what wonder there was. As the music built, the congregation joined in, a thousand voices becoming one, echoing across time and space:
"Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee… How great Thou art!"
And in that moment? Hands lifted. Hearts undone. A glimpse of eternity. Because sometimes, the greatest act of faith isn’t in the singing—but in the pausing. In the breath between the notes where, we truly see the King of the universe, the Creator of the stars, the Lover of our souls.
Let this song, this video be a moment of worship for your soul today. What a blessing it is to have music that moves our hearts to center our busy lives on Christ.
Psalm 145:3 "Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom."
