Michael W. Smith performs the classic hymn "How Great Thou Art," a song that marvels at God's creation, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, and the hope of Christ's return. The lyrics move from observing the stars and thunder to reflecting on the depth of God's love in sending His Son to die for sin, and finally to the joy of eternal life with God. Smith's rendition, from his 2014 hymns album, presents the familiar verses with reverence and simplicity, inviting listeners to join in declaring God's greatness. The song is a timeless expression of worship and gratitude.

Oh 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
And when I think that God, his Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on that 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 there 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 Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
