You should check out the Home Free version of this song ,and Man Of Constant Sorrow!!
Temporary Home is my favorite of hers and she has a lot of great songs. This will be a fun rabbit hole
Takin me to church ❤
I cry every time
Best rendition I've ever heard! Her voice is so amazing! ❤ And Vince is so talented!
Simply Devine!! Please check out Amazing Grace by Dan Vasc. WOW!! Just WOW!!
I’ve heard this song performed by many different artists, NONE, I repeat, NONE better than this one.
Wonderful reaction! You should try Long Black Train by Josh Turner,you won’t be disappointed 🤠
This song https://youtu.be/BkNHCDwr9vs?si=AE9JjbRqOTNM3ohG
As a Christian and Country music lover, I honestly believe the Holy Spirit was speaking through Carrie, and the audience was standing to rejoice with her.
Please do martina mcbride where would you be
Huda it gets me EVERY time!! @3:33
Home Free has a version that is mind blowing, no instruments involved, just the voices god given them.
She sings his song in a honorary night for Vince it’s called Go rest high on the mountain
Fabulous.
This is one of my favorite hymns. I remember singing it around the campfire on church backpacking trips, with a billion stars above. I remember singing it as I hiked down the trail. But nobody sings it like Carrie and Vince!
No one will ever perform this song better than Carrie & Vince did on this night in 2011’! I remember watching this on TV as if it happened 5 minutes ago! One of the greatest performances ever. I have a request. Cody Johnson – “I Always Wanted To”.
You should react to Dolly Parton light of a clear blue morning ft reba mcentire, lainey wilson, miley cyrus and queen Latifah
Nothing but LOVE from prestonsburg Kentucky
If you wanna hear Vince Gill tear one up, watch "Little Liza Jane"! And check out Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, "Remind Me". Brad Paisley is another one who can tear up a guitar 😉
Mama Naomi Judd 😢
I want this played at my funeral! That's one song that can bring me to tears in a heartbeat!
You can hear the words in Vince's guitar. love it. And he is the Harmony King.. Love some Vince Gill.
If you don't get chills.. you don't Believe.
Chills all day
What a blessing. God was speaking through Carrie..God bless you. Love your reactions
The two beautiful redheads in the front are Mother & Daughter Legends – The Judds. The Judds took Country music by a storm in the mid-80’s, into early 90’s. Huge rabbit hole. Momma Naomi is gone but daughter Wynonna remains one of the great female vocalist.
Just for you Sir, please react to:
The Judds – Love Can Build a Bridge
Wynonna – That Was Yesterday (live – in black & orange blouse)
Hey, Brother Huda, I found the Vince Gill track you need to react to. He's burning strings off that guitar long and repeatedly. https://youtu.be/O-U3nz9Nslo?si=vvgi13zLMbir0bhT
Carrie has said that the Lord took hold of her as she sang, and she she couldn't even remember the last four lines. It was God in control.
I've seen this several times and still gets the chills. She killed that! 🙏 ❤ 🙏
Every time I hear her sing this, it reminds me of being in church. It's such a spiritual feeling ❤
You should watch, “I believe,” by Brooks & Dunn. They performed it in a recent award show with Jelly Roll. That is my favorite performance of this song.
I love Elvis Presley singing how great thou art. He is great singing it too.she did well.
Charlie Daniels released this song on one of his albums, it was really good too
Also, testify Carrie
Vince is part of the Eagles and is in Eva’s at the Sphere with them now.
It was an otherworldly performance frm a different dimension.. (worship to the King of Kings) and yes, Carrie is truly anointed
Ps. Pls do more Carrie reaction videos… and feel free to check out her catalog of Hymns for her Gospel album ( My Savior)
This is a
Medley of hymns of “My Savior” ft Cece Winnans
https://youtu.be/B-Ryd6xwTn4?si=5PbS_ur7V64Ky9ty
*And here is something very moving .she and her team wrote for the troops with all proceeds to charity called “Keep Us Safe”

Vince Gill is a true artist
Carrie’s voice is amazing, but the power behind her voice definitely is coming from the Holy Spirit. Vince is one heck of a guitarist. You should do some Vince songs.🙌🏻
I love Carrie since day one on Idol. I have never heard this before. I was totally blown away. Thanks for sharing and God Bless to ALL.
You talk too much! 😠👎
Beautiful, Carrie is a legend and Vince Gill is an icon
AMEN
