For some reason, this song is more beautiful when it is performed in this way then when it is performed in a church.

I agree. It’s always beautiful, but there’s something special about it done this way.
That depends on the Church, the choir, the director, and what they put into it. I recall a downright impressive rendition at our church in Parma, Ohio, back in the '70s. When done well, it is a very powerful piece.
FWIW, I think that the original "food court" version is the best. It was well sung, and well choreographed. Impressive, to say the least. They all are!
