Carrie Underwood performed an amazing version of the old hymn “Jesus is Calling” last night at the CMA Awards. While the bulk of the song was dedicated to those in the country music industry who had passed on, the last minute and a half or so was dedicated to the victims of the Las Vegas shooting.
What was so wonderful about her performance is that she sang the whole song perfectly until she got to the portion for the Las Vegas victims, when her voice started to break under the weight of emotion of what she felt for those who were killed just over a month ago, and she had to stop singing.
Here’s just that portion for the Las Vegas victims:
