Lillah

Everytime I hear the good ole' Lutheran hymn, "How Great Thou Art," I think of my great grandma, Lillah Hovland. I never said goodbye the right way to her. I've been holding that in my heart ever sine her funeral. At her funeral we sang this. 

Friday we sang it mixed with "How Great is Our God." I almost cried in assembly. I don't know how I held it in. But I miss her so much. I can't wait until the day comes and I get to see her again.

Oh Lord my God

When 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

Then sings my soul

My Savior, God, to Thee

How great Thou art

How great Thou art

When through the woods

And forest glades I wander

I 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;

Then sings my soul

My Savior, God, to Thee

How great thou art

How great thou art

Then sings my soul

My Savior, God, to Thee

How great Thou art

How great Thou art 

I think of 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

Then sings my soul

My Savior, God, to Thee

How great thou art

How great thou art

Then sings my soul

My Savior, God, to Thee

How great Thou art

How great Thou art

When Christ shall come

With shout of acclamation

And take me home

What joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow

With humble adoration

And then proclaim My God

How great Thou art

Then sings my soul

My Savior, God, to Thee

How great Thou art

How great Thou art

Then sings my soul

My Savior, God, to Thee

How great Thou art

How great Thou art
How great Thou art

In honor of my dear great grandma, I plan to get "How Great Thou Art" tattooed onto my ribs.
I miss you.
