How Great Thou Art

Last night on my way home, I decided to turn on the classical station. A beautiful choir serenading me in French, I looked out my windshield to see lightning off in the distance. As I neared home, the lightning picked up with the opera's soft crescendos and decrescendos. When I turned into our driveway, I was suddenly overwhelmed as God's beauty and magnificence filled my senses. I looked to see stars above me, lightning on the horizon and the beautiful music filled my ears. It was indescribably 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!
