How Great Thou Art

My Great Aunt passed away a few weeks ago. I was able to see her and say goodbye before she passed, so for that I am thankful. We had a Memorial Service for her last night. It was small, family only but you could feel the love and support in that tiny little chapel. During the service they played one of my all time favorite hymns "How Great Thou Art." Every time I hear it I can't help but tear up especially when I hear this verse:

When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
With humble adoration
And then proclaim My God
How great Thou art

Death doesn't scare me as it is only the beginning of a wonderful NEW life in Heaven. I have tremendous peace about my Great Aunt's passing as she truly is in a better place. A place of no more pain and suffering. She is able to walk, run, dance and be with the ones who have passed on before her. What a comforting thought!

Last year Carrie Underwood did an AMAZING version of How Great Thou Art. It still gives me goosebumps and this song will always bring tears of joy to my eyes. Enjoy!



Oh 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 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

When Christ shall come
With shout of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
With humble adoration
And then proclaim My God
How great Thou art

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

How great Thou art
How great Thou art...
