We sang the song "How Great Thou Art" in church this morning.  I love this song.  It has always been one of my favorites.  We sang it at my husband's funeral.  One of my best memories is of my two brothers, in the pew behind me, singing out that song in their great voices with strength and faith.  That carried me through the whole service and the rest of that day.

As I sat in church this morning, and listened to the sermon about prayer, I began to compose a verse of my own:

As I sit here surrounded by my family,
and contemplate the love and joy we've known;
When I recall the times of grief and laughter,
And realize how God still holds us close,
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!
