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;
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!

This hymn is one that always comes to mind when I am in awe of God’s hand working in my life. Sometimes I think that we aren’t aware enough of His guidance and protection. We just take it for granted so many times. Lately I’ve begun to realize more than ever how He leads us, how even seemingly insignificant and "small" things are directed to bring us to where He wants us.

nice.. one of my personal Fav's. It's funny though isnt it, how we sometimes dont stop to realize how even our next breath succeding depends on God's will and Holy Plan?

Are we all mind readers? I was singing that song today as I walked the halls at Concordia. How awesome and wonderful God is! I mean if it wasn't for Him, I would not be getting ready for school again. Praise the Lord! If it were not for him, I would not even have a school. OR I would not even be here! HOW great Thou art!

I find that our difficulty really comes when hard things happen to us. We can easily see God's hand in us getting a job, but how about when we are unjustly fired from a job? But God promises us [Christians] that ALL things work together for the good for us who love God and are called according to His purpose. This means that God controls ALL things that come into our lives.
