How Great Thou Art!

 

How Great Thou Art!

I love this song; it is one of my favorites. I sing it when I am out walking and watching all the squirrels and rabbits running around. I sing it when I am driving and taking in all the fall colors and pretty clouds above. My husband and I used to mushroom pick in the Oregon timber trails. It was beautiful there and not only did we find mushrooms, but we also came across streams of water, and views from mountain tops. We have been to Lake Tahoe, Donner Lake, and the Grand Canyon. All this beauty always caused me to sing this song. God is so awesome that He created all this for you and me. I like to sit on my porch at night and gaze at the moon and stars. Did you know He suspended it all in even proportion to all the planets, Including earth? It is amazing to think about. You and I can never be that perfect and precise, but we can praise the One that is.

Lyrics by Carl Buberu, arranged by Manna Music, Inc.

“O 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.

When through the woods and forest glades I wander and hear birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze.

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in.  That on the cross my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin.

When Christ shall come with shout of acclimation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee; How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
