Lyrics
Jesus asked his disciples:
“Who do the people think I am?”
They said, “Some think you’re John the Baptist
Some think Elijah, some Jeremiah
Others think you’re one of the prophets”
But Simon Peter said, “You’re Christ
Son of the living God”
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 art 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
When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And then proclaim, “My God how great Thou art”
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
Then sings my soul my Saviour God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
