How Great Thou Art

“Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears” (2 Samuel 7:22, ESV)

I am tired and I don’t feel like dragging this painful old body out from under these comfy covers.

            Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty; early in the morning my song shall rise to Thee…

What do you mean I have COVID! I had both my Pfizer shots.

            I sing praises to Your Name, O LORD, for Your Name is great and greatly to be praised…

How could my dear friend lose custody of her only child because she is an active member at a local church?

            Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, how I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er…

When will I stop grieving for my loved one?

Joyful, joyful we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love…melt the clouds of sin and sadness…fill us with the light of day.

I do not know how to help or what to say to make the situation better. I feel helpless.

              Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face…

I am so ashamed of what I have done. I have made such a horrible mess. I’m just too far gone to find my way back.

              Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me…

I just do not have any fight left in me. I am too weary to deal with all of this.

             In heavenly armor we’ll enter the land…no weapon that’s fashioned against us shall stand…the battle belongs to the Lord.

Why are people so mean and hateful toward each other?

            Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love, the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above…

There is just so much bad news in the world today and everyone has a differing opinion.

         I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the roses…and He walks with me and He talks with me…

How can I ever tell my family that I have an aggressive form of cancer?

        When peace like a river attendeth my soul, when sorrows like sea billows roll…it is well with my soul.

This list could go on and on but you get the idea. There are some days that are harder than others but there are some old faithful songs to bring you through. It would be difficult to sing How Great Thou Art or Great is Your Faithfulness when you do not have a clue about what to do or how to do it. Might be difficult but try it (and not through gritted teeth). He never leaves us abandoned or forsaken but simply asks us to trust Him.
