Every time, every audience, every city, every stage, she brings them to their feet.

It's so exciting.

But this time for me, it was even more special, because she was sharing a part of who she was at the most deep level.

She was sharing her faith, her spirituality, the things that really keep her centered.

And it was such an honor to get to do that with her on this concert.

I love that in this piece she reminds us from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows, we have a reserve of strength that we can always tap into.

There's so much power we can draw when we take the time to be quiet and to listen and remember how strong we truly are.

I think that some little kid in Broken Arrow, or Alabama, or Mississippi, is gonna watch this show, and maybe they're gonna want to be a singer or they're gonna want to play in an orchestra.

You know, my mom, I listened to her growing up singing that hymn, and it's just, I don't know, just the--with how it's written and the passion and power behind it is something that always stuck with me.

That's probably my favorite.

PATTY: It is one of those songs that has, uh, stood the test of time.

KRISTIN: "How Great Thou Art," which is her signature piece, for her to say that she would share it with me on this concert, I said, "Are you sure?

That's your song."

She goes, "No, it's the world's song, and we are gonna do it together."
