HOW GREAT THOU ART

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
The power throughout
the universe displayed.
Then sing my soul
my savior God to thee...
HOW GREAT THOU ART!
HOW GREAT THOU ART!
This is dedicated to 
Carey who when I 
was a child showed
me almost the only 
loving attention I knew.
She never gave up
trying to teach me
piano and I tried
real hard since I
wanted her homemade
cookies after practice. ;-)
This song was the one
she tried to teach me
to play forever, 
never stuck, but
she'd belt (and,
yes, I mean BELT)
it out endlessly. ;-)
I thank God for her 
in my life.

  2. This takes me back to when I was a little girl and my family attended a Billy Graham Crusade here and George Beverley Shea sang How Great Thou Art. I can hear him now.
