jilliangray - How Great Thou Art.

This song was titled Chorus in the little song books we used on my Bolivia missions trip and it is beautiful so I thought I should share it. It goes to the tune of How Great Thou Art.

Oh when I think of all the many millions

Who do not know the sound of Thy sweet name;

Who do not know the miracle of Calvary,

Who never can Thy great salvation claim.

Then cries my heart "Oh, teach Lord to care

Until they know how great Thou art"

Then cries my heart "Oh, teach Lord to care

Until they know how great Thou art"

And when they know that Jesus died to save them,

And when they know that grace He can impart;

When Jesus shines His love divine within them

When He transforms their sinful darkened hearts.

Then they shall sing, "My Savior God to Thee,

How great Thou art! How great Thou art!"

Then they shall sing, "My Savior God to Thee,

How great Thou art! How great Thou art!"

Until recently when I thought of all the many millions who were living without ever hearing about the love of Jesus Christ I wasn't really moved. I was saddened by it, and I prayed about it, but I could just as easily forget about it and focus on my own little life. Traveling to some far off country seemed like something that was so outside of what I was capable of doing. To me God reserved the missionary jobs for strong, brave, outspoken Christians who had a biblical answer for everything. Thankfully, God changed my perception. He sent me on a mission trip and made me realize that no matter how small someone is, how quiet they are, or how little they know they can still share the Gospel. God took my old heart and replaced it with a new one that has been crying out to him ever since. For Africa, I am restless; blessedly burdened with a heart that will never stop crying until they shall sing

"How great Thou art."
