How Great Thou Art

Song: How Great Thou Art
Artist: Pentatonix feat. Jennifer Hudson

Today was bad. Very, very bad. I had a bad night, slept in and then pretty much crashed and burned all day long. I hold myself to such a high standard of perfection and if I go off course (or off my "schedule") by one inch, I get so frustrated and give up! I then eat a lot of my feelings away (or at least numb them with food and youtube). This is not what I want to do! I also just have a lot of stress because of so many different factors in my life: Anxiety, depressed, being fat, driving and just not knowing what to do with my life!

But, as this Easter season reminds us, because of  Christ's Atonement and Resurrection, I can try again. I can overcome. Second chances exist. So do third, fourth, fifth even one million chances exist because of Him. Here's to a better tomorrow! Remember Christ and keep Him with you all throughout the day.

Another goal for this week is to read/listen to at least one conference address about Christ (specifically from a past Easter Conference) each day: Love One Another as He Has Loved Us - By Elder Jose L. Alonso

This song is off of Pentatonix's A Pentatonix Christmas Deluxe Edition. I think it works better as an Easter song. I posted Carrie Underwood's version last year and Peter Hollens version (also off of his A Hollens Family Christmas Deluxe Album) in November. All three are different but beautiful in their own way.

"When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow with humble adoration, and then proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"

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

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow with humble adoration,
And then proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
How great Thou art, how great Thou art! 

#BecauseHeLives I live. And those who are gone will live again. I can repent and change and try again, no matter how long it takes. There are no lost causes.
