Yolanda Adams joined The War and Treaty for a powerful “How Great Thou Art” performance. The live powerhouse rendition of the beloved hymn happened at the Grand Ole Opry. Watch the short clip to hear and see the moving, awe-inspiring performance of a tune near and dear to the hearts of many.

This may be controversial, but the old hymns are much better than most contemporary Christian music today. Despite this, many churches are choosing to leave the hymns behind. Instead, houses of worship are opting to fill the praise and worship portion of their Sunday morning services with contemporary Christian music.

Many contemporary Christian songs are great and moving; some can even be considered classics. However, the beautifully written lyrics of those hymns carry so much meaning and pack a powerful punch. And it doesn’t matter how many times you hear a song like “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “Blessed Assurance” or “Because He Lives,” it will always cause an emotional reaction.

That is precisely what happens when you watch and listen to Yolanda Adams and The War and Treaty’s rendition of “How Great Thou Art” at the Grand Ole Opry. The trio gives an absolutely stunning performance as they sing about the love, power, faithfulness and greatness of the one true King.

“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”

It was a dazzling, show-stopping performance, with everyone in the room on their feet singing right along soon after they started performing the beloved, classic hymn. How could you not be moved by that fabulous, powerful rendition?

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.”
