How Great Thou Art

Just got back from a long walk at Carkeek Park. It turned out to be a gorgeous day, although a bit chilly. I guess it is January, after all! :-) I had every intention of going for a run, but... still pretty icy. So it was a walk instead. Listened to net@nite (when is there going to be a new episode?!), and then just sat on the beach for a while. Took a bunch of pictures... here are a few. The rest can be found on Picasa if one is interested! (http://picasaweb.google.com/AlisonMeneely/January2008 )

Alone on the beach, sitting on a really cold rock, watching the waves crashing, I found myself praying this hymn:

O 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 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!

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.

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!
