Picture this: a simple stage, an intimate setting, and Joey+Rory standing there, their voices blending in perfect harmony. The way they deliver this classic hymn is nothing short of breathtaking. It’s like they’re not just singing, but sharing a piece of their souls with everyone in the room. You can almost feel the sincerity in every note, as if they’re inviting you to join them on a spiritual journey.
What makes this song so powerful isn’t just the lyrics, which are already profoundly moving, but the way Joey+Rory bring them to life. Their performance is filled with heartfelt emotion and a sense of reverence that’s truly palpable. You can’t help but be swept away by the sheer beauty of it all. It’s one of those rare moments where music transcends the ordinary and touches something deeper within us.
Now, here’s a little tidbit for you: “How Great Thou Art” has a long history, with roots tracing back to a Swedish poem written in the late 1800s. Over the years, it’s been embraced by countless artists, but Joey+Rory’s version stands out because of its raw, unfiltered authenticity. It’s like they’ve taken this beloved hymn and made it their own, while still honoring its rich heritage.
So, the next time you’re in need of a musical lift or a moment of reflection, give this performance a listen. And here’s a thought—what songs transport you to a place of peace and introspection? Everyone has that one track, and for many, this might just be it. Let me know what you think!

Lyrics
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim My God, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art
