I was in attendance when they sang this. The video really doesn’t capture the quality of the choir and orchestra.
That was so beautiful and moving. Thank you ealgeone
I’m just not a fan of this style. I found it over-orchestrated. The lady singing solo was weak and pitchy. I didn’t care for the odd tempo change in the third verse.
I prefer the Carrie Underwood / Vince Gill version much more. Much more personal, straight-ahead, and she’s much more talented than that whole chorus.
But music is subjective. If you like the FBC version, more power to you.
O Store Gud (oh, mighty God, aka How Great Thou Art)--Artur Erikson
“How Great Thou Art” is a favorite among Methodists. But there was a fight to get it into the Methodist hymnal. A number of Methodist clergymen opposed the hymn because it was popular among the unwashed riffraff who attended Billy Graham crusades.
