How Great Thou Art

How Great Thou Art? is one of my favorite hymns that popular musicians have sang for a while now - most notable Carrie Underwood and Elvis Presley. The words, I think, are some of the finest lyrics of any Christian song and everytime I hear it, I really can feel my spirit singing out to the Lord (note that the above links aren't really the greatest performances of the songs but you get the idea). In case you never heard the song or ever took the time to understand the lyrics, here they are:

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!

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 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 in 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!
