Psalm 104:1 "Let all that I am praise the Lord.....". NLT
Short blog today as I wrestle the cats (grandchildren) into submission. It's a beautiful Sabbath day and we are headed to church after breakfast. When I was a young girl, my father used to sing this song as a guest singer at area churches in Georgia. The absolute power of this song was something that resonated through my soul and still does. This new generation of people often times has not heard the beautiful hymns of old. While praise and worship music brings tears and shivers to your Sabbath day, these old hymns can bring you to a place of reflection and peace when the days are full of noise and distraction. I have decided that the month of July will be spent finding some of these old hymns and meditating on their words as I move forward in the direction that God is leading me. Their words are rich and powerful. He is truly the only one worthy of the word Awesome!
How Great Thou Art – The Lyrics
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
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.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
