Few songs resonate with the public as deeply as the timeless gospel classic, How Great Thou Art. While many have performed it throughout the years, we believe we’ve just experienced the finest rendition.

This memorable moment took place during the 2011 Academy of Country Music event, ‘Girls’ Night Out: Superstar Women of Country’. The evening was a heartfelt tribute to the female country music artists who have made a significant positive impact on the industry.

That evening featured numerous standout performances, but one in particular truly stole the show. Vince Gill took the stage alongside Carrie Underwood to deliver a heartfelt rendition of the hymn, “How Great Thou Art.”

As they sang, their emotions were palpable, and the audience was clearly captivated by the powerful music. Once the performance concluded, a standing ovation erupted, showcasing just how deeply the audience was touched by their performance.

It’s remarkable that this unforgettable moment occurred over ten years ago, yet it remains a cherished memory in the world of country music. This performance was part of the Girls Night Out event, which honors the significant contributions of female country artists.

That evening, several notable artists were recognized, including Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Jennifer Nettles, and Carrie Underwood. Each of them has made a lasting contribution to the genre that resonates even now.

This is a song that truly deserves to be experienced both visually and audibly. You can listen to it in the video below:
