And I am not just saying that because I wasn't there haha. We filmed "How Great Thou Art" at the chapel at College of the Ozarks where Katie, Matt and I went to college. Jason, one of our team, came and filmed some drone shots and it adds some nice visual variety we've never had before. And you just can't beat the message of the song!! I know y'all will love this :) ~Ellen 🎶 Quick quiz - Since 2018 when Emmett and Aaron joined us in making videos, we have had 10 other songs with a reduced line up. Can you remember them all?!
