Last night, I settled in on the couch to watch the ACM’s Girls’ Night Out on CBS. They were honoring Martina McBride, Reba McIntyre, The Judds, Miranda Lambert, Jennifer Nettles, Loretta Lynn, and my favorite, Carrie Underwood.
Each artist was recognized and got to hear another performer or group perform one of her songs and then she joined that performer to do a duet. Vince Gill honored Carrie Underwood and sang a beautiful version of Jesus Take The Wheel. Carrie was touched and honored and even shed a few tears.
Afterward, Carrie joined Vince at the microphone and immediately started singing. And they took us to church. What an appropriate weekend for such a great testimony and opportunity for Carrie and Vince to witness. What a great God we have and what a beautiful song she sang.
(If you’ve seen Carrie live in concert, you know that in the middle of Jesus, Take The Wheel she sings How Great Thou Art.)

My favorite hymn, and Carrie’s is always my favorite version! Such a blessing that she chose to praise Him on Easter weekend, when any of her songs could’ve been chosen! Love it!

I caught that show too and, goodness, did that girl blow that song out of the water! I had chills. So glad I recorded it so that I can watch it again and again!

I’m not a country music fan at all, but Jesus Take the Wheel got me through a horrible part of life last summer and I still cry every time I hear it. Or, apparently, read about it as I am now tearing up right now. Thanks for sharing the beautiful youtube.
