I was at Madison Square Garden in 1957 when George Beverly Shea sang How Great Thou Art. I was on my way to serve as a missionary in Mali Republic, West Africa, where I served with my wife for over 44 years. From the time I was saved as a senior in HS in Kansas City, MO, in 1951 through YFC I have followed the BGEA. Only heaven will tell of all who have been blessed through the Billy Graham team as they've labored for the Lord. God be praised: Robert Dean Overstreet: WatchmenOfTheKing
May God grant peace and strength to the family of George Beverly Shea who today entered the heaven he sang about for decades at the age of 104. Thank you for your faithful ministry to so many.
I went to two different Baptist churches in the bible belt, and requested of each minister to have the congregation sing this song for the benefit of everyone. They wouldn't do it. Yet, I hear the audience and a famous singer singing it on TH-cam whenever I want to hear it. God is Great!
Wow over 100 years old and still going strong for JESUS. I remember growing up in the 80s and back then I was made to sit and watch him on the Billy Graham gospel hour,but now in my 30s how I cherish those days. JESUS your awesome in all You do.
My mom just passed away 2 days ago and my prayer during her lengthy illness was that she find my God and be able to sing How great Thou Art along with Mr . Shea. Mom I pray you will R.i.p. with Jesus.
2:10 "When CHRIST shall come, with shout of acclimation, 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!!!!!!!" -George Beverly Shea. I remember you being the guest speaker at my high school graduation 10 years ago on June 1, 2003. You sang this song and I felt my entire future burning bright in front of me. You are now with my Papaw, whom you were friends with, and I know you are both in the Heavenly Choir!
RIP Bro. George Beverly Shea... ! What a privilege for all of us to be able to hear you... ! But once again for long time.. we will hear your great voice glorifying God.. up in heaven. Miss you..! May His peace befall on us all.. at this time.
I only ever had the pleasure of hearing George Beverly Shea live once, at QPR football stadium when I was a steward. One of the greatest experience of my life.
No opera singer in the world could bring own the house like George Beverly shea. His songs cause us to worship the Lord with all our heart. Such a joyful crowd.
One may feel their voice not worthy to lift in song,, but to your your Lord it is the most beautiful sound in heaven. “ by golly, that kid might make it after all! “ Though the years may have turned the hair as white as snow, the hopes of a young boy still live.
I Remember (As A Boy) The First Time I Heard This. It Gave Me Goose-Bumps Then As It Does Today. Give Your Heart To JESUS CHRIST Today, Before Time Runs Out. Jesus Loves You, Died For You and Wants to Spend Eternity With You.
Amazing example of a failing human being using the incredible gift God gave him for HIS glory, not his own. My parents played this man's records growing up and his voice was always my fav.
Today my eyes fill with tears of joy, to know that you are now in the presence of our Lord and Savior and can sing that song TO HIM, face to face! Thank you for your service to our Savior and the beauty and inspiration you brought into our lives with your songs
Bev Shea is singing face to face with his Lord tonight. What a concert is going on in the Heavenly choir! Thank you to our God for blessing us with Bev's ministry all these years.
Watching him sing happily in his old age is a very wonderful testimony that our GOD is really great! I can't help but cry because I feel so blessed just by watching him sing of GOD's power and greatness..not only to HIS life but among all of us! To GOD be all the glory!
I met George in the 70s. My twin and I were with Cliff Barrows for a week at a church in Atlanta. Cliff Preached each night and we did 2 or 3 songs . George came in one night of the meeting and sang. Most people are not aware that Cliff is a fantastic preacher . Every one thinks he just leads the music for the Big crusades. Both George and Cliff are just down home humble fellows and working with them was a highlight of all our years in music ministry. Thanks for sharing this video !! - FLOYD
My late wife brought back The Beautiful Garden of Prayer record by George Beverly Shea back from America in 1958 and is still being played. The voice is beautiful and his recording of How Great Thought Art tops every thing I remember hearing my wife singing it in 1959 and it brought me to accept Jesus.
Richard Brian Prickett Wow, that sounds like a wonderful story. Truly, the Lord only knows how many people were lead to Christ through his songs, but every one is special! May I ask what country you are from?
RIP Bro George Beverly Shea, you have been such a blessing to me and my family as I remember my grand daddy, grand ma, and my daddy, who have all gone to heaven now, sing these very words so many times. Tell them all high as ya'll all sing together for Jesus and the Angels! This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through! God Bless you all!
Meant so much to me in my teenage years attended the Billy Graham Crusades in Wollongong NSW Australia. My Mum was a councillor and I enjoyed singing along with George Beverly Shea and the choir. He is a wonderful testament to his friend Billy Graham and his everlasting faith in Jesus Christ.
May our Heavenly Father greet George into his Kingdom and grant his family Peace, Strength and Comfort. Thank You George..... You've blessed so many...
Your voice was that of a strong lovely angel. I grew up watching and respecting both you and the Rev. Graham. Turning into an old man myself now. I will see you in heaven Mister Shea.
George Beverly Shea is 102 now and going strong! Still singing for Jesus. There is still hope for America while Saints like this are still among us. We are on the verge of the greatest WORLDWIDE REVIVAL the Earth has ever experienced. Pray for 5 BILLION SOULS FOR CHRIST!
I've got another 30 years before I get near Bev Shea in age, but will never get anywhere near his wonderful gospel ministry record. What a true & faithful servant. Amen.
When Christ came, with shout of acclamation, to call George Beverly Shea home, he bowed in humble adoration and proclaimed, 'My God, How Great Thou Art." Thank you, Mr. Shea, for many, many years of your beautiful music praising our Lord.
SANDIE...HOW LOVELY!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE!! YES, I MUST SAY THAT I FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. I'M SO BLESSED TO HAVE HEARD DR. BILLY GRAHAM AND REV GORGEOUS BEVERLY SHEA WHEN I WAS A CHILD. BOTH NOW WITH OUR LORD. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE WONDERFUL TALKS BILLY MUST BE HAVING WITH JESUS AND THE SONGS THAT BEV IS SINGING WITH THE HEAVENLY ANGELS. ONE DAY WE WILL BE THERE, SANDIE, TO SIT AND LISTEN TO THESE GREAT MEN OF GOD.
Saw George perform here in Ottawa, Canada (just north of his birthplace of Winchester, Canada) in 1998, warming up those assembled to see and hear Billy Graham preach. What a man & what a singer! He certainly lived a good, long life! George Beverly Shea, R.I.P.
this speaks to my soul... my father loved this song..as do I...this may be the most beautiful rendition of it I have ever heard.. real voices.. singing in praise and love.. god bless this soulful man.. how blessed those re that got to hear him sing this first hand.. tears are flowing.... How great thou art...how great thou art
Love thy brother as thy self. Love those that disagree with you, love those who have more than you, love those that have less. Our Lord never drew a line that said I cannot love you. He just saved them.
"When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!" welcome home brother George, there may be tears shed tonight for our loss of you here on earth, but there is celibration in heaven. I know you heard the words we all stive to hear when we finally meet our Father face to face, "well done good and faithful servent" you were a true warrior of God.
OK......I have to share this..........in 2000, I was a pallbearer at my father-in-law's funeral, and he programmed many of these old hymns for his funeral service........well, when he programmed "How Great Thou Art" at the end of his service.........being brought up in the Baptist Church as I was, and because my Granddad, a Baptist minister for about 28 years, loved those old songs.......I raised my mighty baritone as we took that casket to the hearse, and did my BEST "George Beverly Shea", & I'm proud to have done it!!!
Just a few years ago, his wife Marie, my Mom-In-Law till 2007, passed away. I have still been in contact with some of my ex-wife's family......just not HER. Just like her husband before her, she programmed this song for the recessional, when the casket was taken out. I attended the funeral, to honor her, as she had never been unkind to me..............and once again raised my mighty baritone as she was taken to the hearse..........
RIP George! it was probably my favorite thing to ever do in church band, transitioning from Charlie Hall's "Marvelous Light" into this awesome song... this dude was a blessing for 104 years, and will continue to be for many more years because of his music!
I so love this hymn the words that are so so true still brings me to tears knowing the truth God bless you for posting this ive no more words sorry im in tears to much
He has cumulatively sang for over 220 million people in his lifetime. What an amazing man and great choir director. I was blessed to be among hundreds in the choir when Billy Graham came to San Diego years ago. I will always remember how Beverly Shea was so encouraging and uplifting in our rehearsals with him. Definitely a highlight of my life!
It is GOOD FRIDAY 19/04/2019 on this day away back on Good Friday 20/04/1984 my step-son Peter Wignall died by drowning tomorrow I will sit and cry for him and also along with my lovely wife Myra who died 12/04/2019 and on both of these occasions I have sat and listened to the great voice sing this song to console me Thanks
Patrick Goss So sorry to hear of your wife and step-son. My deepest condolences to you. Hope you found His presence on Easter, and I pray the Lord continue to let you know He is with you in every moment and lead you in His peace and strength. God bless you.
He is a Canadian growing up in Winchester,Ontario just south of Ottawa. His father was the Wesleyan minister of the church around the corner from where I live in Ottawa. I heard him in 1966 in Saint John, New Brunswick,Canada. So powerful a singer.
Thank you for posting I remember hearing Mr.Shea sing How Great Thou Art when I was a kid and the tears came a rolling, even now as an old man I can enjoy his voice, Thank you Grady Taylor and TH-cam for posting such wonderful hymns to the Almighty. Pax+
The greatest thing about Mr. Shea is not that he was a wonderful gospel singer. Undoubtedly, he was. Rather, the greatest thing about this man, who has now gone home to be with the Lord, is this: For something on the order of 70 or 80 years, Mr. Shea faithfully served his God in ministry. THAT, is Mr. Shea's lasting legacy to the body of Christ.
Scott Adkins YES, he travelled all over the world with the Rev. Billy Graham, singing GOD's praises, and spreading the Word !! Thank you, George, and rest in peace !!
A truly fantastic spiritual man with a great bass voice. His depth and projection were superb. Geo. May you test in peace in God's heaven with Billy Graham.
its 16 years since i laid my mother to rest this was one of her favourite songs i sit hear with tears in my eyes knowing she has a front seat with one of the best gospel singers ever HOW GREAT THOUGH ART.
Bev shea was one of the best hymn singers there ever was, thats my opinion he was still singing at a 103 yrs old and he lived to be 104..what a great man he was
My father loved hearing George Beverly Shea sing. Some of my earliest memories are of my father listening to the Hour of Decision on Sunday nights after church. What a blessing to grow up in a Christian home.
This is humbling that he or anyone could sing at his age and still have a very amazing voice. He holds the record in music history in general of the longest living live performer. No one has broken that record yet and I doubt Madonna or others in pop music ever will. Great song and a great singer. See you one day sir..I will be humbled and honored.
Long story short, this song got me through 12 weeks Marine Corps bootcamp and 12 months in jungles of Viet Nam as a scout sniper! Thank you for posting it.
I am sometimes asked, "What do you think made America the greatest and most prosperous nation of the 20th Century."? I reply, "Two men say it all: Billy Graham and George Beverly Shea." - Men who spoken and sang GOD'S PRAISES. - *that's the REAL cause of America's once greatness.* no doubt about it.
Haven't heard his rendition in many years. This song was on the song list, at church, this past Sunday, which reminded me. It's still magnificent! God has graced us with Mr. Shea!
With all the troubles & stress in this world, we are still blessed & loved by our Lord. He has given us the privilege & pleasure of great music & beautiful voices. Bev Shea stands out as 1 of the BEST EVER. We can continue to hear his unequaled abilities by the technologies God has allowed us to use with great enjoyment & appreciation. "God Bless us, Everyone!"

Man he is 103 and his voice is still strong and full! This man is truly blessed.

His beautiful signature song. I first heard it in 1962. I was enraptured by this big voice and the faith he showed. Sing for the Lord now George.
miss this man, such a powerful voice, but i know that he is in Heaven singing right along with the choir, and with Pastor Billy !!

A man who truly understood God's plan for life and his purpose was to do God's will while on this earth.
I play this every night before bed, and it keeps me grounded and connected to The Lord !!
rightpatch1 that's awesome!
I recommend doing more than just that but I guess it could be a good start. :)
Honor thy father and mother that thy days may be long.
its 16 years since i laid my mother to rest this was one of her favourite songs i sit hear with tears in my eyes knowing she has a front seat with one of the best gospel singers ever HOW GREAT THOUGH ART.
Stephen Fagg Amen! God bless you!
I'm sure today he has heard the words "Well done my good and faithful servant". A voice like that is a gift from God and he shared that gift with us.
Thank you MR. George Shea. This is one of my favorite songs.
It’s wonderful to see the works of your hands. Indeed you are great!!!
What a wonderful gospel singer, now departed from here to heaven. Singing praises unto God there I believe.
Bev shea was one of the best hymn singers there ever was, thats my opinion he was still singing at a 103 yrs old and he lived to be 104..what a great man he was

104. Jesus has power

Gone, but never forgotten. A true servant of our Lord. I know you're enjoying heaven, George! God bless!
My father loved hearing George Beverly Shea sing. Some of my earliest memories are of my father listening to the Hour of Decision on Sunday nights after church. What a blessing to grow up in a Christian home.
Kathryn Howard! You said you had terminal cancer and we’re going to die. What happened? I see you survived it, and praise God for it. How are you?
Kathryn Howard Amen!
If this song does not touch your heart, you dont have one.
Thank you for posting. As I wipe away the tears...all I can think is How Great Thou Art!
James Davis Praise God! God bless you.
This is humbling that he or anyone could sing at his age and still have a very amazing voice. He holds the record in music history in general of the longest living live performer. No one has broken that record yet and I doubt Madonna or others in pop music ever will. Great song and a great singer. See you one day sir..I will be humbled and honored.
I always find this hymn very moving, a beautiful voice and was at the Billy Graham crusade of 1954 a wonderful
evening
Long story short, this song got me through 12 weeks Marine Corps bootcamp and 12 months in jungles of Viet Nam as a scout sniper! Thank you for posting it.
I could listen to him all day, He sings this song such feeling, Love his music.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE GAVE THEIR LIFE TO CHRIST AFTER HEARING HIM SING JUST AS I AM........PRETTY SURE HE SITS IN THE GOOD SEATS NEAR THE THRONE OF GOD.
so it is important to make it clear to our elderly loved ones that we need them in spite of their weakness.
I am sometimes asked, "What do you think made America the greatest and most prosperous nation of the 20th Century."? I reply, "Two men say it all: Billy Graham and George Beverly Shea." - Men who spoken and sang GOD'S PRAISES. - *that's the REAL cause of America's once greatness.* no doubt about it.
Springs church. Winnipeg
Love this man's singing !!I I grew up with him and the Jordinaires!! Thank you so much!!!
He has a deeply kind and comforting appearance that together with the singing, you get humbled.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Awww. His soul now can SEE and SING How Great God is with all of His Splendor.
This song makes my heart bloom in the mornings, when I meet with my Lord!
Jerry Slate Sr. We mulle
WELL I AM MULLEN PREACHING

George Beverly Shea was a man that walked with God all the way. R.I.P The music will go on
What a magnificent Heavenly Choir there must be, when all those beautiful voices sings together in one accord!
madonna brandon AMEN!!!
WoW, this song is always new Amen
Haven't heard his rendition in many years. This song was on the song list, at church, this past Sunday, which reminded me. It's still magnificent! God has graced us with Mr. Shea!
He had one of the best voices in gospel ever !!!
I wish I had his vocal abilities now but being in his 80-90s. Truly amazing. TY Mr. Shea...will see U again. This country needs major revival.
With all the troubles & stress in this world, we are still blessed & loved by our Lord. He has given us the privilege & pleasure of great music & beautiful voices. Bev Shea stands out as 1 of the BEST EVER. We can continue to hear his unequaled abilities by the technologies God has allowed us to use with great enjoyment & appreciation. "God Bless us, Everyone!"
His voice was full of something that comes only after enduring some amazing experiences in life. It's got that underlying, unspeakable joy.
May OUR LORD Bless George Beverly Shea and Keep him in Eternal Rest.RIP with The Lord.
He is still singing. It is all about the love between us and God and vice versa. GBS love for God just radiates in his voice.
