In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

How Great Thou Art

Ephesians 5:19-20
 "speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Stanza 1:
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 pow'r 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

Stanza 2:
When Christ shall come,
With shouts 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!"

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!

I really like this song, and I LOVE this version by Carrie Underwood. But let's be honest, most of us can't belt it out like her. But as we are instructed in Ephesians, Chapter 5, we should sing from the heart and praise God for all the great things He has done in our lives. So, whatever your singing may sound like, just sing from the heart and praise God for all the blessings He has granted to you.
