How Great Thou Art
August 4, 2024
We continue the sermon series, “This is Our Story. This is Our Song.” If you worshipped in-person during March, you know that we voted the brackets for our favorite hymns in the FUMC version of March Madness. This summer, the winners of the brackets will be the focus for the upcoming sermon series. As part of the series, I am writing a prayer inspired by the words of the focus hymn. This week’s hymn is “How Great Thou, Art” As you prepare for worship, sing the focus hymn in your heart, keep the prayer on your lips, and renew your mind with the Scripture for the Sunday. If you are unfamiliar with the hymn, you can find the words online or in the United Methodist Hymnal on page 77.
Scripture: Psalm 104
Prayer: Gracious God, when I consider everything, you have made, I see the stars and hear the thunder. The universe displays your glory. When I wander in the woods and meadows, I can hear the birds sing in the trees and I praise you. When I look down from the mountains, hear the brook, or feel the gentle breeze, I praise you. You did not spare your son and I can’t believe it. On the cross, Jesus bore my burden and my sin. When you take me to heaven, I shall rejoice. I will adore you and proclaim your greatness! How great you are! I praise you, my Savior. How Great you are!
Blessings,
Rev. Sherri
