With scores of lives lost, many still missing, and thousands left with nothing but the clothes on their backs and whispered prayers in the dark, Connie offered her deepest sympathy to those suffering.
But what she quietly added next is currently touching hearts everywhere.
“I may be old, but I still believe in the power of a song and a Savior,” Connie said, her voice trembling with emotion.
“If I could wrap my arms around every grieving soul in Texas, I would. But for now, I’ll send my voice. I’ll sing — not for applause, but for healing.”
The legendary singer then revealed she has recorded a private version of “Precious Lord, Take My Hand”, which will be shared with churches and shelters across the flooded region — a gift of comfort to those still searching for strength amid the wreckage.
“We are never too broken to be held. And no flood can drown the love of God.”
Fellow artists including Marty Stuart, Reba McEntire, and Ricky Skaggs have already expressed support, with many saying Connie’s words are a reminder of what country music has always stood for: faith, family, and standing beside one another when the storms come.
As Texas begins the long road to recovery, one thing is certain:
Even in heartbreak, the voice of a true country soul can still bring hope.
