In this Sunday's Music Interlude I have featured mostly female singers and from the comments I have received, it seems it has been a musical success... I bring you now one of the most talented singers, I have heard in a long time, and there are a long line of them, but this next singer has something special... I can't quite put my finger on it, but when you listen to her sing, especially this song I bring you, you will understand... The song is a Christian song, but it need not be, as it is to almighty God... The song is titled "How Great Thou Art"! The performer is none other than Ms. Carrie Underwood joined by Vince Gill on Guitar. If it doesn't bring a tear to your eye, not very much will... I hope you like the song and love Ms. Underwood's rendition of it!
Kerry

LYRICS:
Oh 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 Savior, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
And when I think of 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 Savior, God, to Thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, 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
With humble adoration
And then proclaim My God
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior, God, to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
