This weekend I've been thinking about those who have passed away. Of course the person that I think of most is my mom's mother, Mamaw Litteral. Her favorite hymn was "How Great Thou Art". The words have been going through my head for the past few weeks:
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder. Consider all, the world thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout, the universe displayed;
When thru 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 scare 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!
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!
Almost 40 years have passed and a day doesn't go by that I don't think of and miss her. I think she would have loved the link below.
