Lofty Mountain Grandeur

I never really paid attention to the second verse of "How Great Thou Art." It hit me the other day. This is the song I'm singing today and the song I'll be singing the next time I look down from lofty mountain grandeur...

When through the woods
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 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!


P.s., I think I'm finally done playing with my blog background. I'm really happy with the way it looks now so I am probably done messing around with it. The only thing I'm still not sure about is whether or not the white text is a bit hard to read. Let me know! And thanks for putting up with my indecisiveness.

  1. very cool verse and your blog looks great. The white isn't hard to read but the perfect touch maybe if the text was the same color as the sunset... but overall it looks great

  3. Emily I love it! It's easy to read, and I find it giving me the most peaceful feeling. (Might be the song too....) I wouldn't change a thing.

  4. It's actually quite amazing how many references to nature the Good Book has.

    And your blog looks great. I like how these new header pics stretch clear across the page. Good job!

  5. I think the new look is fantastic. Love the white writing. I can read it very easily.

    I only have one question.

    Are you singing to funky Elvis version or a more traditional rendition :)

  6. I think your new blog look is simply stunning. I would chase away any thoughts of changing it at this point.

  7. I love the song, How Great Thou Art. I grew up singing it in church. It's very powerful.
    As for your blog, nice job! I particularly like the mountains at the bottom. Reminds me of the Smokies. Love the colors.

  9. The new look is great, and I think the font color looks fine, too.

    And the second verse is great, too. I guess I never knew the lyrics to the second verse. Awesome!

  10. Thanks everyone! I think I'll leave the font for now since the majority are okay with the colors.

    Yedi - traditional one :)
