#375: "How Great Thou Art" by Carrie Underwood

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music

Let's develop a sense of wonder, shall we? The famous hymn "How Great Thou Art" makes us consider God with a sense of "awesome wonder." I chose Carrie Underwood's rendition to meditate on Psalm 145.

David sat in the awesome wonder of God and gave us a host of truths to meditate on in just one Psalm. Let's learn from his song of praise.
