Being a Servant: Keep on singing those hymns

How Great THOU Art...  

Have you ever had a song get stuck in your head? 

 

This one got stuck in my brain today:

"Oh Lord my God, 

I in awesome wonder consider all the Worlds THY hands have made"

"I see the stars... I hear the rolling thunder ... 

THY power throughout the universe displayed..."

       Then sings my soul, my Savior God to THEE, How Great THOU Art, How Great THOU Art... "

I talked to a small group of Christians  on Wednesday during the Devo service at our church building, and when I stood up in front of the group, this hymn kept playing in my mind.  I think it was because I have been thinking about how important it is that we can be together as a group of believers, and so many of my other friends cannot. 

We had a thunder storm last night, and while it was storming, I kept thinking of the words... "I hear the rolling thunder..."   

God's power is displayed all through the world in so many ways.  He is GREAT.  In our School (Home School Co-op), we sing a hymn every time we gather.  I try to keep time with my hand, practicing so that I will be comfortable leading songs in worship.  We sing many hymns, &  I like the old Hymns.  But this one is one of my very favorites.  

Especially the last verse... "that God, His Son not sparing."  

God did not spare his son of the pain, but what about the Father?  Think about that.  God hurt, too, when His Son died on the cross.  My Dad says the separation hurt the most, more than seeing Jesus get hit or whipped or die, the fact that God and Jesus were NEVER really apart before hurt God the most.  I never thought of that before! Have you?  Drop a comment in the box below and let me know your thoughts.  And keep on singing those hymns!
