▶️ Watch on 3Speak

Hello fellow vibers! We're here again to vibe.

I'm performing a rather popular hymn titled "how great thou art". It stems from my awe at nature and the universe at large which I am deeply conviced was made by an intelligent being up there and all around.

We can't escape the feeling of awe when we sing "How Great Thou Art." It's a hymn that's been around for over a century, but its message feels fresh every time. It all started in 1885 with a Swedish preacher named Carl Boberg. Inspired by the beauty around him, he penned a poem titled "O Store Gud," marveling at the power of creation.

Fast forward a few years, and the poem takes a trip eastward. Missionaries Stuart K. Hine and his wife encounter it in Russia, sung to a hauntingly beautiful melody. They're struck by its power, and Hine puts pen to paper, crafting the English lyrics we know and love today.

The hymn speaks to us on so many levels. We can't help but sing along as the verses paint a picture of the vast universe and the delicate details of nature. It's a reminder of just how incredible the world around us is. And then there's the chorus, that simple yet powerful declaration of "How Great Thou Art!" It becomes our anthem, a way to express our praise and appreciation, no matter what we're going through.

The hymn goes even deeper, touching on our most personal beliefs. It reminds us of the sacrifice Christ made and the hope of redemption he offers. It's a message of comfort and solace. And as the final verse looks towards the future, it fills us with anticipation and joy. "How Great Thou Art" is a beautiful reminder that music can touch the very core of our being, allowing us to express our deepest emotions and connect with something far grander than ourselves.

Peace!
