Isaiah 44.6-8

from the beginning of time and shall remain with you through the end.”

in the way of truth and love you for
evermore.

Dear brothers and sisters, you did not become heirs with Christ to fall
back into fear. Our suffering is not worth comparing to the glory which
will be revealed to us; for we are saved not by what we see in this present
age, but through hope in the revelation of things to come.

how Great thou art
Words:
Carl Boberg 1885

Swedish folk song
Artist: Martina McBride
Album: 2012
Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Considered all the world 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 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 there 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, how great Thou art
