Michael W. Smith covered the song in 2020.

His seven-minute live version recorded during the Awaken: The Surrounded Experience at Nashvilles Bridgestone Arena in August 2018 features the voices of his backing singer Vanessa Campagna and worship leader Madelyn Berry.

Smith also did a four-minute studio version, which is a duet between him and Vanessa Campagna, produced by Kyle Lee.

Smith recalled to Billboard: Kyle did a lot of the mixing in his studio in Texas and Vanessa and I sang our parts in my studio in Franklin.

The song topped Billboards Christian Airplay tally to become Smiths first ever leader on the chart, which launched in 2003.

Back in the 80s and 90s, Smith regularly topped other Billboard Christian listings).

Other artists who have covered the song include Leeland, Christafari, Mandisa, Bethel Music, and Passion (featuring Kristina Stanfill, Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes).

Leelands version reached the Top 10 of Billboards Christian Airplay chart.
