How Great Thou Art

Today, I just want to share with you my favorite hymn. How Great Thou Art has always been special to me because the first time I heard it, it brought such a strong spirit to me and I usually can hardly make it through the song without crying.
The words to this song are beautiful.

     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. 
  
    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!

God has created everything. I look around and I truly am amazed at all He has made and how beautiful it is. And then I think that He took the time to create me while making this beautiful world. And I am part of His beautiful creations. And so is every person to live. 
He paid the greatest price for us and we will forever be indebted to Him. But, we can thank Him and in live in gratitude. 
Music is so powerful and hymns are a great source for spiritual uplifting. 
This is my favorite version of How Great Thou Art. Enjoy!
