The Lord Jesus had given me a tune to write yesterday or the
day before, so this morning I prayed and asked the Lord if he had words for the
tune. I acknowledged before God that I could not do this. This tune would have
words only if he gave them to me. Then, I heard in my mind the song “How Great
Thou Art,” singing, “Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou
art…”
I knew then that this song was to be about the greatness of
God, and then he led me to these passages of scripture and gave me the words.
How great is his love, his faithfulness, his many wondrous deeds and miracles,
his purposes for mankind, his compassions, his covenant of love with those who
love him, his redemptive power in his saving grace toward humankind, the
promise of his soon return, and our hope of eternity with him in heaven.
Great is The Lord!

Great is the Lord!
He has done wondrous things.
Great is His love
Reaching up to the heav’ns.
His faithfulness reaches
Up to the skies.
Of His great love,
I will sing evermore.
Great is the Lord
And most worthy of praise!
Truly His greatness
No one comprehends.
Great are His purposes;
Mighty His deeds.
His eyes are open
To the ways of man.
Great is the Lord!
His compassions ne’er fail.
Great is His faithfulness.
I’ll wait for Him.
He keeps His covenant
Of His great love
With all who love Him
And do what He says.
Great is the Lord!
He is coming in pow’r.
His saints will wait for Him;
Their hope secure.
How great His love
He has lavished on us,
That we should be called
The children of God.
