That song never fails to bring tears to my eyes. It is one of the best praise songs ever written I think! It is just so moving! I LOVE this version of it too, thanks for sharing :)
Wow...I have never heard Carrie sing "How Great Thou Art" before. That song was my grandmother's favorite.
When we first moved to this area, and we were visiting churches, we walked into one church that felt so warm and loving...so full of the Holy Spirit. Right as I turned to Bill to say, "I think we've found our church," the congregation began singing "How Great Thou Art." That was definitely confirmation for us! The song has always had a special place in my heart. God is truly great...
Thank you for bringing that special memory to my thoughts today!
AMAZING! I love her voice! That song is definitely the ultimate praise and worship song. It brings me to my knees and gives me holy goosebumps every time I hear it!
Thanks for sharing it!
I love, love, love the photos of the 18 wheeler! How cool is that?

Brent's Story...
Our son Brent suddenly started to complain with back pain in the fall of 2004. He was playing flag football with the town league and loved to roughhouse with his two younger brothers so the pain was dismissed at first. After having him tested for kidney and bladder infections and finding him clear we finally asked for an MRI of his back. A couple of weeks later (the very day of the MRI) we received a phone call from his doctor saying that a tumor was found in his pelvic area. We were asked how quickly we could get him to St. Jude Children's Hospital - we left IMMEDIATELY. Later that same week we got the diagnosis. It was one that we would NEVER, EVER forget. It was Stage IV Neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system. His chances of survival when diagnosed were 1/4 - 1/3. When he relapsed we were reminded there was NO CURE. There was basically no hope of survival... none outside the HOPE we had in JESUS.
Brent fought long and hard. He was a Christian and LOVED his SAVIOR. He NEVER asked "why" or complained. He took each day as it was - a gift from GOD. Brent went HOME to be with the LORD on January 2, 2007. He was 11 years old. If I've EVER had a "hero" in this world.... it would be him.
7I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. 8I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will dwell securely.
