God, How Great Thou Art...And Not Just On Sunday!!!

By
Title Insurance with Patriot Land Transfer, Inc.
There is one song that I find almost impossible to sing along with without breaking into tears or I find just being unable to go on singing all the way through...That song is "How Great Thou Art"...it pretty much doesn't matter who's singing it, it seems to have the same effect on me...This rendition with appropriate introduction and epilog by Carrie Underwood is particularly moving!!! Please listen and enjoy...sing along if you'd like!!! Swedish Folk Melody Verse 1: 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. Refrain: Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee, How great thou art, how great Thou art! Verse 2: 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 hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze; Refrain Verse 3: 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; Refrain Verse 4: 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 there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! Refrain

I second "Amazing Grace". That was nice Fran and right on point. I'll have to play it for my sister on Monday. Carrie Underwood has an amazing voice. "Jesus Take The Wheel" is a beautiful song and still brings tears to my eyes and sends chills through my body, when I hear her sing it.

Have a great day.

Fran, I know this will sound irreverent, but every time I hear "How Great Thou Art" I have to think of the Saturday Night Live skit that showed Bush the 1st sitting at a tabe somewhere with Dan Quayle looking adoringly at him, and guess what the background music was!  I may have to go into some sort of rehab to get over that one.

Fran:

I went to a funeral for a friend recently.  I was really keeping it together very well until the singer started singing "How Great Thou Art." 

We are so undeserving of the Grace of God.  I think the last verse is my favorite.

I prefer more contemporary Christian music to listen to during the week, but when it comes to worship, anything will do if the spirit is in it. I love Amazing Grace and one I have heard Josh Grobin do a few times- You Raise me Up. I get the chills!
