How Great Thou Art, January 9, 2012

When I go out and feel nature’s wonders
Wind, water, sun, the earth, the moon, the stars
I feel such joy, love and appreciation
I thank my God, the Force of Truth You are.

Chorus: Then sings my soul, the best I know within
How great thou art, how great thou art
Then sings my soul, the best I know within
How great thou art, how great thou art.

And yet I know the world is full of suffering
From greed and hate which often have their way
Children dying, oppression much too normal,
The environment itself, in danger of decay

But still sings my soul, the best I know within
(Chorus)

For I have seen the power of the people
When standing strong, united what’er may come
For justice always will overcome false evil,
No power can stop an idea whose time has come

So sings my soul, the best I know within
(Chorus)

There’ll come a day I’ll pass to something different
No longer feel the power of wind and sun
But I’m at peace, I know we will not falter
That Truth and Love endure ‘til The Work is done

So sings my soul, the best I know within
(Chorus)
