How Great Thou Art

I love me a good hymn. I don't think that there is anything quite as moving as a well-performed Amazing Grace. My favorite hymn in the whole wide world is How Great Thou Art.  It is a beautiful poem and the hymn tune, written by the original poet, is hauntingly simple.

My uncle Jerry and I were just talking on Friday about our favorite background singers at the Vineyard.  My very, very favorite is a charming woman named Rhnee. I had the pleasure of meeting her through one of my volunteer rules at V.C.C.

So Jerry says to me, "You've never heard her sing How Great Thou Art."

"Singing hymns is a lost art," I replied. "I wish that V.C.C. would do it more often.  People love it."

Fast-forward two days to this morning.  The last song that we sing is How Great Thou Art.  You've never heard it done like this.  It is Funk/Soul fusion and it is brilliantly performed.  Her vocals are flawless.

Enjoy.
