“Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart” Psalm 111:1
What better way to look at a Monday and start a week than by praising our God?
“How Great Thou Art” I love this song. When I was playing my guitar, I’d practice this one over and over because the lyrics just wash over you.
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!
It is very special for me to begin the new year’s Praise Monday with this special version of How Great Thou Art. This version is an arrangement played by my son. His beautiful piano artistry brings this song deeper into my heart as my soul sings out how great is our God. The greatness of our God lies in His love and mercy. This arrangement was given to my wife and I as a gift – an awesome gift of love. The magnificence of God’s love goes beyond words to become the music of our souls.
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on a Cross, my burdens gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
God didn’t spare His own life, not even a single drop of of Holy Blood. He gave everything for our salvation. Jesus gave the last full measure for you.
“I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and be glad.
O magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!” Psalm 34:2-4
