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

Released May 10, 2021 by More Than a Song - Michelle Nezat

 

Let's develop a sense of wonder, shall we? The famous hymn "How Great Thou Art" leads us to consider God with a sense of "awesome wonder." I chose Carrie Underwood's rendition to meditate on Psalm 145. David sat in awesome wonder of God and gives us a host of truths to meditate on in just one Psalm. Let's learn from his song of praise.
