Songs that meant something to me

I know I had not blogged for a few days now basically because I was quite busy organising some of my previous posts and extracting information.

The following are songs that I had posted that meant something to me and Josie and I’m just consolidating them together. There will definitely be a few more songs that I will post and these are songs had significant meanings especially for Josie. For today, I leave you with “HOW GREAT THOU ART” because it was the song chosen by both Josie and me for our wedding and because God is indeed great in our lives and especially now in verse 4 where it says “When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home - what joy shall fill my heart!

I wish these songs could be used for my funeral. It may sound a little morbid and seem like I am giving up the fight but that is not so. It is just that these songs bear significant for me that I wish others to hear these songs and read the lyrics and to know that God and Jesus are in these songs.

In God We Trust!!

O LORD MY GOD!
(HOW GREAT THOU ART)
Russian Hymn
Translation, adaptation and arrangement Copyright © 1953 Stuart K. Hine

Verse 1:
O Lord my God! when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe display’d:

Chorus:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

Verse 2:
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze;

Verse 3:
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:

Verse 4:
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home - what joy shall fill my heart!
Then shall I bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art!

THE FATHER'S HEART

The Father's heart never changes,
From the beginning to the end.
Son of Heaven decended,
Saved us all for eternity.
Cause the Father's Heart, longs for us.

Joy of my desire,
Jesus my Lord,
Jesus my Saviour,
The Father's sacrifice.

This is one of the very few song/lyrics written by me. I have no music to it though.
