I am grateful for Sundays. I enjoy getting away from the world. I appreciate being spiritually renewed. For me, that renewal often comes through music. Such was the case last Sunday when a young lady shared a stunning solo rendition of “How Great Thou Art”, a Christian song that was translated into English by British missionary Stuart K. Hine. The spiritual truths of this hymn were powerfully witnessed to me through the 3rd and 4th verses. I am grateful.

And when I think that God his son not sparing,

Sent him to die – I scarce 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!
