Alan Jackson sings a powerful rendition of ‘How Great Thou Art’ in this live performance. ‘Oh Lord, my God, When I, in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed’ RELATED: Alan Jackson Performs Lovely Tribute To Loretta Lynn With ‘Where Her Heart Has Always Been' This is such a great rendition of this classic hymn, and many people online shared their thoughts about Alan Jackson's performance. Alan Jackson Sings ‘How Great Thou Art’ "Fantastic job, Mr Jackson. It’s really nice to see a man who has reached heights in country music and is still humble enough to sing for the Lord. Just awesome," writes one person on YouTube after watching the video. "An old Gaither classic! Don’t hear too many country music artists sing like this!" comments another person online. RELATED: Alan Jackson Sings "Amazing Grace" As for the background of ‘How Great Thou Art,' the hymn started in Sweden in 1886, and it is fascinating to hear how the song made its way to the United States. Author and editor Carl Boberg originally wrote ‘How Great Thou Art' as a poem. Later, those words were set to a Swedish folk tune. Then, in 1907, Manfred von Glehn translated it into German, and five years later, a Russian pastor, Ivan Prokhanoff, made a Russian adaptation. Then, in the early 1920s, Rev. and Mrs. Stuart Hine left their home in England and went to Poland as missionaries. That's when they heard the Russian adaptation of ‘How Great Thou Art.' Reverend Hine decided to write the English lyrics and make his own arrangement of the Swedish melody. After going through many iterations, we have the beloved ‘How Great Thou Art' hymn that we know today.

As of 9:45 a.m., agents were still inside the property while news crews staked out positions across the street. CBS News Bay Area has reached out to Mayor Thao’s office about a response to the raid. The action comes two days after the Alameda County Registrar of Voters announced there were enough signatures on a petition to recall Thao from office to move the process forward.

Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao (OUST) submitted its petition two weeks ago, and on Wednesday, officials in Alameda County confirmed they had met the threshold of 25,000 voter signatures. Retired Judge Brenda Harbin-Forte, who spearheaded the recall, told local media Thao has “blood on her hands” amid rising crime, grand theft auto and instances of people being robbed on the street. “Businesses were not leaving Oakland at this pace before she came into office,” Harbin-Forte told the local ABC affiliate. OUST also took issue with what recall supporters called the “dismantling” of the Oakland Police Department under Thao’s watch.

South American country Ecuador was hit with a nationwide power outage on Wednesday. “The immediate report that we received from CENACE is that there is a failure in the transmission line that caused a cascade disconnection, so there is no energy service on a national scale. We are concentrating all our efforts on resolving the problem as quickly as possible,” Public Works Minister Roberto Luque said. El reporte inmediato que nos llegó de CENACE es que existe una falla en la línea de transmisión que ocasionó una desconexión en cascada, por lo que no hay servicio energético a escala nacional. Estamos concentrando todos nuestros esfuerzos en resolver el problema lo más rápido. — Roberto Luque (@RobertoLuqueN) June 19, 2024 “At 3:17 p.m. there was a failure of the Milagro Zhoray Transmission Line that generated a ‘blackout’ to the national system. This event is A TRUE REFLECTION OF THE ENERGY CRISIS that we are experiencing, with lack of investment in generation (what happened in April), lack of investment in transmission (what happened today) and in distribution. For years we have stopped investing in these systems and today we are experiencing the consequences,” he said. “With a cutoff at 6:41 p.m., the situation is that on a national scale, 95% of the energy has already been restored (3,500 MW),” he added.

Ecuador struck by power outage, faulty transmission line blamed https://t.co/evvU77FquW pic.twitter.com/2G8mXj0Mxr — Reuters (@Reuters) June 19, 2024 Per NBC News: A Reuters witness said there was confusion on the streets of Quito, the capital, as traffic lights ceased working. Operations of Quito’s subway system have also ground to a halt. “Due to a general failure of the national interconnected electrical energy system, the operation of the Quito Metro is interrupted while the systems are restarted and verified,” the metro system said on X. In April, Ecuadorean President Daniel Noboa declared an energy emergency and announced planned electricity cuts. While the South American country has struggled with a drought affecting hydro-electricity power generation, heavy rains over the weekend forced authorities to take three hydroelectric plants offline. The weekend rains provoked a landslide that killed at least 17 people and left 19 others injured. The disaster prompted Ecuador’s private OCP oil pipeline to suspend operations and declare force majeure.

Operations of Quito’s subway were also interrupted for several hours.
