August 11, 2020
If your soul needs stirring, this powerful performance of 'How Great Thou Art' by award-winning Christian artists Lauren Daigle and Hillsong UNITED should do the trick!
Swedish evangelist, Rev. Carl Boberg originally wrote this hymn in 1885. He is credited with setting the words to a Swedish folk melody.

The hymn then became translated to German, to Russian, and then into English by English missionary Stuart Hine. He was inspired while working in Ukraine and hearing a congregation sing the song in Russian.
However, ‘How Great Thou Art' did not gain worldwide popularity until it was performed by George Beverly Shea on a Billy Graham crusade in 1957. Now, churches all across the globe perform the iconic words.
"When Christ shall come,
With shouts 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!'"

Over the years, the Australian-based band has produced many inspirational ballads of worship such as ‘Oceans (Where Feet May Fail).’ Now, they’re teaming up with another huge name in Christian music, Lauren Daigle.
Lauren burst onto the music scene in 2015 and quickly climbed the charts with hits such as ‘You Say’ and ‘How Can It Be.’

Christlike welcome of others is what Scripture calls us to do, not because we must as a checklist obligation, but because doing so reflects the heart of our Savior who lovingly bids us to come to Him despite our brokenness and sin.
