Chico California Photographer:: How Great Thou Art

A few days ago Travis told me "We need to find a song that we play for the baby every night so that when he gets here and is fussy, we can play it for him and it will calm him down." Okay, seriously--I thought that was so sweet. 

So, two nights ago we were laying in bed and thinking of a song to play to our baby. We decided on the song that Travis and I first danced to at our Wedding. It is by Edwin McCain I Could Not Ask For More. We played it that night. However, that just didn't feel right to me. I wanted a song that would be more lasting than that. I wanted our son to hear the song, later know the song, and then believe the words. 

Every once in a while, I go to YouTube and listen to Carrie Underwood sing How Great Thou Art. It brings tears to my eyes--even before pregnancy.:) After talking to Travis about it, we changed the song.

Last night, laying in bed, I said "Okay, baby. This is going to be the song that you will hear every night until you are born. We want you to know how great your God is." Travis said "Yup" and tucked his head on my chest and hand on my tummy:)

Baby boy was groovin' to the beat. Head on over to YouTube and watch Carrie Underwood sing this--I just cried listening to it. Enjoy:)

How Great Thou Art

Oh 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 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

When through the woods

And forest glades I wander

I 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 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

I think of 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

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

When Christ shall come

With shout 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
