How great Thou art!

Dear Friends,

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for all your prayers and encouragements. Thank you for the sweet comments you have left me.

I am thankful to God that He continues to preserve me daily and grants me the joy of trusting in Him and serving Him.

Just a short note to let you know that I am well and pressing on in the Lord's strength and grace daily. I missed all of you and hope to be back blogging soon.

Meanwhile, I like to share with you this encouraging hymn which the Lord has used to encourage me.

May you be encouraged too that we serve a Great God!

As we consider His mercies, grace and lovingkindness, may our hearts be lifted up to Him in praise and thanksgiving daily.

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!

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 see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

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!

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.

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 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 then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

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!




Thanks again for stopping by. Take care and may God grant you a blessed week!

Blessings Nancie & welcome back kinda, I was going to link your beautiful song to Super Sunday but because I have M4M, I guess they
won't allow me to link...I clicked here & it shows the ones & you're next...but won't allow me to link.
However I did link one of your posts About Me...to Mission4Monday.
I hope that is alright!

I'm glad you write that you are well.
I pray this is true & that HOW GREAT THOU ART has lifted you as
HE strengthens you & pours His grace all over you! I'm praying & believing that you will have a prosperous & healthy week in Our Lord! Since you are magnifying the Lord, I know that He is revealing His awesome power to meet your daily needs! Praising together
our souls as we sing glory to His Name. It delights me that Denise

This song always bring tears to my eyes...one of my all time favorites. I love Alan Jackson's country flair to this timeless hymn of praise.

I'm so glad you checked in with us. You are dearly missed when you are away.

Be blessed this day, my friend.

Nancie...hope you are doing well...and please know you are in my prayers always.

Things seemed to be quite challenging for us...maybe it's seasonal, but it is always by God's grace that we persevere...and praise God for His mercy, we are still here...living life a day at a time.

Sending you (((HUGS)))
