Beautiful Rendition Of ‘How Great Thou Art’ In Jerusalem - Christian Music Videos

A team of talented musicians came together and played an iconic hymn in a city mentioned several times throughout God’s Word.

Most hymns are cherished and beloved pieces that help to impart a powerful, truth-filled message. “Amazing Grace,” “I Know That My Redeemer Lives” and “Victory in Jesus” are just a few of the beautiful hymns that have been performed in churches for decades.

In a video posted to YouTube, Joshua Aaron and Aaron Shust sing “How Great Thou Art” at the Garden Tomb, Jerusalem. The performance, simply put, is stunning! All musicians who take part in the performance are outstanding, making for a touching and dazzling rendition. 

“Then sings my soul, my Savior 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”

The performance seen in the video required a heavy investment of time and resources. It took more than two years to put together, according to the video’s description. Included in that timeframe was the time needed to rehearse, to plan and prepare for their performance in the ancient biblical city. 

In addition to everything that went into putting on the public performance of “How Great Thou Art,” the description also indicates that the musicians faced difficulties while playing. 

“Not even threats of terrorism just a few hundred meters away at the Damascus Gate” could stop them from playing. Instead, the musicians in the video “felt supernaturally protected that night knowing we were safely held in the hands of the Almighty.”

The performance is terrific, but the backstory to the video is powerful! Praise God for his faithfulness, love and protection! 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
