Creator...Savior...Soon Coming King

Jesus is our wonderful creator (John 1:1-3), He is our Savior (Luke 19:10), and He is the coming King (Hebrews 9:28).  It is beautiful to see Him in these three ways because it allows us to understand Him as the One who journeys with us from before conception through eternity. Jesus was at the right hand of the Father as they created all we see described in the Genesis account. Jesus is the One who went to the cross on our behalf, paying the price for our sins and thereby giving us the opportunity to live with Him eternally in heaven. And Jesus is the King who will come to gather His people unto Himself that we may be with Him where He is…for eternity. I praise God for the One who knows me and loves me unconditionally—the One who created me for relationship and desires to be in relationship with me now and for eternity.

Those who contributed to the crafting of the hymn How Great Thou Art, worshipped the Savior with these words:

O 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.

 

Refrain:

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 that 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.

[Refrain]

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,

and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.

Then I shall bow in humble adoration

and there proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

[Refrain]
