The trees are in full color here in Oregon and beautifully dispersed among the Douglas Fir. We’re also having Indian Summer like weather. Today:low of 48....high of 70 degrees.
My favorite time of year.
Took a short hike along the Umpqua late yesterday afternoon. God’s great beauty leaves me in awe. Can scarcely take it all in.
I love Oregon, so beautiful.
The second verse of HOW GREAT THOU ART always hits me this time of year or in spring or winter or summer
Verse 1:
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.
Chorus:
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!
Verse 2:
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And 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.
Chorus
Verse 3:
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.
Chorus
Verse 4:
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then shall I bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim, “My God, how great Thou art!”
Chorus
