Then Sings My Soul

I've been out of sorts all this week.Maybe it's from lack of sleep this weekend. Or the fact that I'm ready for warmer weather. Maybe it's that the geo-political situation is really starting to irritate me. Or the fact that I'm tired of the media and "good old boys" in the government trying to force Mitt Romney down my throat. Maybe it's that my house is teeny tiny and I feel as if I'm going to explode in it. Or it might be because I'm 55 years old. Who knows? Yesterday, it really got to me. I was irritated at every thing and every body. Then out of the blue, these lyrics filled my mind. I felt instant serenity. The cobwebs of discontent blew away. I'll admit, later in the day the discontent was back. But for several hours, I let go of all the irritants and let my soul sing.

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 through the woods

And forest glades I wander

I 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:

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

And when I think of 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

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
