How Great Thou Art

 Psalm 104:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

Honor and majesty and our salvation only touch what makes God great?


There’s the wonder of Creation and why in all His glory He would love people like you and me. 


There’s His death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and return for His Redeemed.


There is so much more in the Holy scriptures. 


How Great Thou Art

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.


CHORUS:

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. - - -


And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;   —  Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;  —  That on a Cross, my burdens gladly bearing,     —    He bled and died to take away my sin.- - -


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!" - - -
