soulful hymns// to God be the glory

hi guysss! so today I'm sharing a hymn that has a special place in my heart. it soothes the soul so well! it's like chicken soup for the soul. 

 it amazes me how Fanny Crosby, the hymn writer was blind when she wrote her hymns. God is interesting, right?! He does wonderful things through the most unlikely of humans.

enjoy!

Fanny Crosby// To God be the glory


To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Refrain

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
To every believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Refrain

Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Refrain

Let them give glory to the LORD And declare His praise in the coastlands.// isaiah 42:12

"For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.// hubakkuk 2:14

I will praise the name of God with song And magnify Him with thanksgiving.// psalm 69:30

I would like to encourage you that no matter what you're facing, praising the Lord is the answer to unlock the door He has promised to open for you. 

giving Him the glory makes you focus on Him despite the attacks and schemes of the enemy. and worship does something wonderful. never stop worshiping. give God the glory. 

and watch and see.

thank me later. :)
