How Great Thou Art

Man, what an emotional day! Gotta love those church meetings when you cry through all 3 meetings. A family in the ward (Hall Family, the other Michelle Hall) is moving, and they are so spiritual, it was very touching, I truly am going to miss them. But what touched me was Relief Society.

I play in the piano in Relief Society, and although I'm not the best piano player, it has been such a great experience, and I have increased my talent. Anyway, I'm getting ready to play the opening song, "How Great Thou Art" and just finished the introduction and was ready to play, and BAM! the women in the ward sang so boldly and so powerful, it was so amazing, I couldn't even hear my playing. I had to look around the room, I didn't realize how full it was until that particular moment, it was very Powerful!

Then, we start singing in the 3rd verse which goes:

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.
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!

OH MY GOSH! I have heard and played this song many times, but this time this touched me, my eyes were getting blurry, and I don't know how I made it through playing through the rest of the song. I'm so thankful that we have a Heavenly Father who sent his Son to die for MY sins! I love him with all of my heart!

Talk about an emotional day! WOWZER! I'm so glad that I went to church today.
