In March 2017, Reba McEntire, Kelly Clarkson, and Trisha Yearwood performed the Christian Hymn \u201cSoftly and Tenderly\u201d together at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. This collaboration highlights how the singers\u2019 different vocal styles and textures perfectly complement each other.<\/p>\n

Matching her hair color, McEntire shined that night wearing her shiny, orange tunic under her brown skinny trousers and boots. She sang the first verse with so much power and conviction, which made it captivating to watch. The lyrics \u201cCalling for you and for me; See, on the portals, He\u2019s waiting and watching,\u201d McEntire emphasizes the constant call of Jesus to sinners and believers to enter the gates of heaven for a new life with Christ.<\/p>\n

During the chorus, Clarkson and Yearwood harmonized with McEntire to give a soulful delivery of the song. Both in their black outfits, the two singers stood on McEntire\u2019s side with their gentle presence. The crowd cheered as Yearwood sang the second verse while Clarkson sang a powerful adlib before she belted seamlessly with the two. McEntire then ended the song with a heartfelt vocalization of the last verse. Surely, the crowd was lucky enough to witness the three household names in the belting department perform their hearts out that night.<\/p>\n

Their striking performance displayed a strong invitation Jesus offers for a gentle and comforting haven for those who are burdened by worries and guilt. The song emphasized the mercy of Christ and the grace extended by the Heavenly Father to all people. It is a soothing melody filled with powerful reminders of His presence and guidance into the right path.<\/p>\n

This timeless piece was written by Will Lamartine Thomspon in 1880. Thompson was a Christian hymn songwriter who established his own publishing company after being rejected by other publishers numerous times. At present, his hymn \u201cSoftly and Tenderly\u201d remains one of the greatest of all time, with several heavy hitters covering it, including Glen Campbell, Alan Jackson, and Anne Murray. What set the trio\u2019s rendition apart, however, was the combination of three classic voices into one contemporary Christian song.<\/p>\n

Lighten up your heavy heart as you listen to Reba McEntire, Kelly Clarkson, and Trisha Yearwood\u2019s cover of the Christian Hymn \u201cSoftly and Tenderly.\u201d<\/p>\n
