Hearing the song How Great Thou Art
I experience such peace of heart..
Contentment rises with each note
How ironic that somebody wrote
Just exactly how I think and feel
Since discovering my God is real.
Each time I hear the thunder roll
This song resounds within my soul.
It tells my story...faith unbound!
I once was lost but now I’m found!
I once was blind but now I see!
It’s so perfect in describing me!
It speaks of the returning Christ...
And, recalling all He sacrificed,
I’ll be the first in line to bow...
I so love bowing to Him now.
O, in light of God’s eternity,
Ten thousand years is going to be
As quick as we can blink an eye
And we'll be just beginning to comply
With the need to worship and adore
The One whom we've been living for.
Such joy unspeakable awaits
To all who enter Heaven's gates!
How great is the soon coming King!
Even greater than the words we sing!
This comes from each believing heart…
O, Lord, my God, How great Thou Art!!!

Prayer: Our Father, how pitifully weak are words to express the greatness
of your deeds and actions among men! How little have we
understood the wonders of life that surround us on every side!
How blind we have been to the simplest things of our nature
and of our lives! Lord, we pray that you will open our eyes
to see something more of your greatness and the fact that you
have been moving in history and in our own lives. Millions today
can testify to your greatness, to your redeeming love, and to
your supernatural activity. doing things that no man can do.
When we see a man or a woman changed, released from habits
of thought, and made over into a new creature, what greater
testimony is needed that here is a supernatural thing! Man
cannot do it. All our struggling, all our educative processes,
all our attempts by legislation to change men have been of no avail.
But this simple blessed word of the Gospel, how it changes human
hearts and sets men free. We pray that any here who have never
responded to that invitation may say, "Oh, Lord God, in the name
of Jesus. deliver me. Set me free, enter my heart,
be my God." We ask for thy name's sake. Amen.
Psalm 77:13
Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great
as our God?
Ephesians 1:19-20
And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.
These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might
which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from
the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,
Luke 1:49
"For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.
Psalms 96:4
For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods
