NewSong performs a classic rendition of the beloved hymn "How Great Thou Art." The song expresses awe and wonder at God's creation, from the stars to the thunder, and marvels at the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for the forgiveness of sins. It also looks forward to Christ's return and the joy of being taken home to heaven, where the singer will bow in humble adoration. The hymn is a declaration of God's greatness and a response of praise and gratitude.

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 pow'r thru'out 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 the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
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!"
