Thunderstorms

I LOVE thunderstorms! I don't know what it is about the lightening, thunder and rain but I love it. On Saturday night my hubby and I sat on our front steps and watched the storm move in. Unfortunately it side swiped us and we didn't get much rain but it was fun to watch from afar. It was also nice because it brings back memories of our first date. On our first date after dinner and a walk we sat outside and watched the lightening and listened to the thunder. That might be one of the reasons I love it so much.

So, are you a lover of thunderstorms or do you not like them? To me watching the lightening flash across the sky and hearing the rumble of thunder makes me think What An Awesome God! He created it ALL!! One of my favorite songs is How Great Thou Art. Here are the lyrics:

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.

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!
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 see 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!

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!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,

And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

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!
