How Great Thou Art

What an amazing song!  Everytime I hear it (especially Crystal Lewis singing it) it moves me to a place beyond myself.  I was driving home late this evening in the dark rainy night and I really had to concentrate to drive. I was having a worship service right there in my car!  I mean when is the last time you listened to or spoke those words.
      "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!  Then sings my
      soul...."
I mean WHOA!!  That is awesome!  I botch up so many things sometimes.  I feel like Paul when he talks about doing things that he knows not to do and not doing things that he knows he should do. If I thought for even half a second about Jesus GLADLY bearing my sin on the cross, it might just change some of my day to day, hour to hour behaviors.  I am so humbled.  If not for grace, how lost I would be.  I wonder if I didn't have grace if I would even recognize God's daily blessings to me.

If I began to list them, you would get bored and probably have to confess your jealousy over how blessed I am.  What about you?  How blessed are you?  How do I get up every morning and even THINK about complaining about ANYTHING!?  I am so abundantly blessed.  I am happily  married to the man of my dreams in a time when marriage is made fun of and talked about as an option and 50% (maybe more now) end in divorce.  Yet I have the peace of knowing that divorce will NEVER be a part of my life.  How can I say never?  Because of grace!  I have the most precious little boy a parent could ever imagine.  He is healthy and thriving and in my humble opinion, brilliant!  God has begun such an amazing work in him.  Who am I to deserve such a special gift?  I live in the USA, which I know these days doesn't seem to be so spectacular, but when considering the other options...Ok, I know you're probably thinking "I thought you weren't going to list them."  Well, I had to at least get you started.

"Then sings my soul, My Savior, God, to THEE.  How Great Thou Art!!"
