How Great Thou Art … The Creator of All Things

10 June 20122 Comments


My day had particularly been mentally draining.

Cranky children. Whiny. Moody.

I think it was around 6pm,

when I went to the balcony to take a breather.

It was an amazing sight I saw.

And I took a photo of it almost immediately.

I was reminded,

how my day’s struggles are actually not at all that big a deal,

when compared to the greatness of the almighty God who watches my day.

And how for parents, the days may sometimes be long,

but the years are definitely short.

God always provides the needed strength, that’s enough for the day.

We simply need to ask for it, learn to trust and depend on Him every single day.

And things will be fine.

Not just fine actually,

because in Him,

things will be beautiful.

Am learning to trust and obey, everyday.

How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made.
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:
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!

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:

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:

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!

(Original lyrics by Carl Gustav Boberg, 1859–1940)
