How Great

I am sure that at some time or another most everyone has heard this song. This song and I have a special relationship :) It is just that song that has now gone with me through the emotions and seasons of my life over the past year and a half.

Chris Tomlin -
How Great Is Our God
From the album Arriving

The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
all the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice,
And trembles at His voice

Chorus:
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see
How great, how great is our God

Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End,
Beginning and the End

The Godhead, Three in One
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
Lion and the Lamb

Chorus:(2x’s)
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing how great is our God

And as I read through the lyrics while I type them it makes me smile. Time is in His hands - the beginning and the end are in his hands... Ponder that some day - just think that there is not a moment, a tear, a laugh, or a smile that God doesn't hold in His hands.

And as I go this new season of being the aunt, and no longer being the only grandchild giver - LOL - this song is constantly playing in my heart. It is such an amazing thing to be able to truly appreicate the woman my sister has become. And not only because she gave birth to a perfect baby boy but the ease at which she has stepped into her role as mother.

Watching her brings back all of the memories of my Zach, my first baby. And none of those memories are frightening. They all bring smiles to my face - the memories of learning to swaddle him or figuring out the perfect temperature for his bottles. The memory of the moemnt of fear before going to the store and thinking what if he crys? How quickly time has flown!

I watch my daughter ponder walking and my heart skips a beat. I'm not ready to let her go and letting her go simly means watching her grow into an independent toddler soon! Much too soon!

And through it all - at the end of the day I sing this song -

How Great is Our God :) The blessings He has given me are more than I ever imagined would be bestowed upon my life and I love it!
