Open your Bibles with me to Psalm
37. Psalm 37. We'll read the last two verses
of Psalm 37. Verse 39, but the salvation of
the righteous is of the Lord. He is their strength in the time
of trouble and the Lord shall help them and deliver them. He shall deliver them from the
wicked and save them because they trust in him. All right. Let's stand as Isaac comes and
leads us to the call to worship. thy wounded side. Tis only there in safety and
peace I can abide. What foes and snares surround
me, what lusts and fears within, The grace that sought and found
me alone can keep me clean. It is only in the hiding I know
my life's secure. Only in thee, abiding, I steadfast
shall endure, Thine arm the victory gaineth o'er every hurtful foe. Thy love my heart sustaineth
in all its care and woe. Soon shall my eyes behold thee
with rapture face to face. The half hath not been told me
of all thy power and grace. Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
the wonders of thy love shall be the endless story of all thy
saints above. Page 85. Silent night, holy night All is bright round yon virgin

chapter 5. Mark chapter 5. Let's begin reading
in verse 15. And they come to Jesus and see
Him that was possessed with the devil and had the legion, sitting
and clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. And they that saw it told them
how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil and
also concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to
depart out of their coast. And he was coming to the ship,
He that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he
might be with him. Howbeit, Jesus suffered him not,
but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how
great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion
on thee. We'll end our reading there. Our God and Father in heaven,
we thank You for Thy Word. Lord, bless us as we've gathered
here together this morning. And Lord, Thy people in all places, for we're men whom You've raised
up to preach Your gospel, and our people whom You've called
to hear, Lord, bless the preaching and hearing of Thy Word. Bless us to know more of the
Savior. Bless us to know the Lord Jesus
Christ. I pray you'd grant us your presence
here this morning. Lord, set aside the thoughts
and cares of this world. Lord, let us see more of our
Savior. And Lord, in all that's said
and done, Lord, may it be to thy glory. Lord, get glory. To thy name we pray thee for
Christ's sake, amen. It came upon the midnight clear,
that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold. Peace on the earth, goodwill
to men from heaven's all-gracious King. The world in solemn stillness
lay to hear the angels sing. And ye beneath life's crushing
load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing
way with painful steps and slow Look now, for glad and golden
hours come swiftly on the wing. Oh, rest beside the weary road
and magnify your King. For though the days are hastening
on by prophet bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years
comes round the age of gold, Peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world give back
this song and glorify the King. to glorify the King. That's our
desire. Thank y'all for saying that. Open your Bibles back to Mark
chapter 5. Mark chapter 5. Our text will
come from the first 20 verses of Mark 5, but let's read a few
verses here Mark chapter 4, leading up to this. Mark 4, we're beginning
with verse 35. And the same day when the even
was come, He saith unto them. Our Lord spoke to His disciples
and He said unto them, He said, let us pass over unto the other
side. And when they had sent away the
multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship, and there
were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great
storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it
was now full. And he, the Lord Jesus Christ,
was in the hindered part of the ship, While all this was going
on, he was in the hindered part of the ship, asleep on a pillow. And they awake him and say unto
him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose
and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace be still. And the wind ceased, and there
was a great calm. And he said unto them, just as
he could say to us, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye
have no faith? And they feared exceedingly and
said one to another, what manner of man is this that even the
wind and the sea obey him? Our Lord said, let us pass over
to the other side. And he said this to his disciples.
They'd been with him. They had seen many great wonders
done. They had heard him speak peace
many times. And he said to them, let's pass
over to the other side. On the other side of the sea
is the country of the Gadarenes. And it's there that one of his
sheep There may have been others, but we read of this one in particular. There's one of his sheep, and
he said, let's pass over. But during that time on that
boat, the disciples were in this boat, his disciples again. And
this fellow pointed me out to this recently. A lot of these
guys were fishermen, these disciples. So this storm that came up, it's
not like it's the first time they had ever seen a storm out
on the sea. They grew quickly. They grew fearful. And while
our Lord was sleeping, while this storm was raging, they grew
fearful and they went to the Master and they woke Him and
they said, Carest thou not that we perish? And our Lord, he went
and he rose up and he rebuked the wind and the sea and said,
peace. Peace be still. And we read that
there was a great calm. Just through a few words, peace
be still. And there was a great, great
calm. Through his word, there was a great, a great calm. And
I pray, I pray our Lord might be pleased today to do the same
for us this morning, as he often does when we gather to hear his
word, that he might speak through his word and calm our troubled
hearts. He said, let's go to the other
side. Should there have ever been,
and we have doubts and fears, but should there ever have been
any doubt to His disciples? I mean, when He said that, let
us pass over to the other side. Is there any question as far
as that ship making it to the other side, no matter how great
the storm might appear to be? Remember Paul, he was taking
that voyage back there in Acts 27, and it was revealed unto him that
that ship was going to be destroyed. And Paul said, fear not, don't
be afraid. There stood by me this night
the angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve. And you know every last one of
them, if you read to the end of it, you take time today and
read Acts 20, I believe it's Acts 27, but we read to the very
end of it, it said, some on boards and some on broken pieces of
the ship, all of them, every last one of them was delivered. And the truth, that truth has
not changed. All whom God the Father has chose,
all for whom Christ died, all for whom the Spirit reveals Himself
to, each one is going to be delivered. Let there be no question in that. He said, let's pass over to the
other side. Look at verse 1 of Mark chapter
5. What happened? He said, let's
pass over. and what happened. And they came
over unto the other side of the sea. What he promised he'll do. They came to the other side of
the sea into the country of the Gadarenes. They came to the other
side of the sea. What Almighty God declares. He declares the end from the
beginning From ancient times, the things that are not yet done,
saying, my counsel shall stand. I will do all my pleasure. What he's determined to do, that
he'll do. The Lord of hosts hath purposed
it, and who will anoint? His hand is stretched out. Who's going to turn it? Who's
going to turn it back? Truly, what manner of man is
this? He's God. He's Almighty God in
human flesh. And here in Mark 5 verse 1, our
Lord comes to save one of His sheep. And listen, nothing, nothing's
going to keep Him from that. Nothing's going to stop Him from
His purpose. So let's look at this passage
together here this morning. In these first five verses of
Mark 5, I believe we see something of our natural condition, our condition by nature. Look with me at verse 1. They
came over unto the other side of the sea into the country of
the Gadarenes, And when he was come out of the ship, immediately
there met him out of the tombs, a man with an unclean spirit
who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no man could bind
him, no, not with chains, because that he had been often bound
with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder
by him, and the fetters broken in pieces. Neither could any
man tame him. And always, night and day, he
was in the mountains, and in the tombs crying and cutting
himself with stones. First we see this, this man had
an unclean spirit. This is how we're described,
much like we're described in the Scriptures. In Isaiah 64
verse 6 we read this, we are all as an unclean thing. All our righteousness are as
filthy rags. And our iniquities, like the
wind, has taken us away. Unclean. Unclean. Could there
be a better word to describe a sinner? Unclean. In our best
works, all of our righteousness, if we could take all of them,
if we could take all of our best works and combine them together,
Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing? No. No. It would be filthy
rags in the sight of Almighty God. Nothing but filthy rags. We are all as an unclean thing. From the sole of the foot, even
to the top of the head, there's no soundness in it. Nothing but
wounds and bruises and putrefying sores. They've not been clothed.
They haven't been closed up, they haven't been bound up, neither
mollified with ointment. In verse 3 we read this man,
he had his dwelling. He was unclean and he had his
dwelling among the tombs. Who dwells in the tombs? Dead
men. Dead men dwell in the tombs.
That's our condition. And that's where he found and
every one of us. That's where he'll find each
and every one of his sheep, dead in trespasses and sin. We read,
but God who is rich in mercy for his great love wherewith
he loved us even, even when we were dead in sins. There's no cleaning ourselves
up and making ourselves presentable to God. This is where he finds
us, dead. dead in trespasses and sin. Like
that infant we read about back there in Ezekiel, cast out, cast
out into the open field. How was that infant described?
Polluted, polluted in our own blood, yet Almighty God in mercy
is pleased to speak life, life to a dead sinner. You hath He
quickened. You hath He given life who were
dead in trespasses and sin. Next we read that no man, no
man could bind Him. They tried, obviously they tried. We read in verse 4, He had been
often bound with fetters and chains and the chains had been
plucked asunder. The fetters broken in pieces. but neither could any man tame
him. You know, men use religion to
bind. Men use the law to bind. And I guess on the outwardly, it works to some degree as far
as the outward appearance, but here's the problem. My problem's
not on the outside. My problem's on the inside. It's
who and what I am. It doesn't change the heart. Religion doesn't change the heart.
The law doesn't change the heart. Outwardly, we keep the law outwardly. Maybe we refrain from certain
things and keep certain days. but that same old man still dwells
within. That same wicked heart still
beats in this chest, and it's kind of like a lion in a cage. You know, as long as that lion's
in a cage, you can walk by, you can walk by with your kids, and
you can do all manner of things, and that lion can't hurt you
when it's in the cage. when it comes out. That line comes out
of the cage. This Gadarene man, listen, he
couldn't do anything for himself. He couldn't, and there was nothing
that man could do for him. He's helpless. On the surface, he would appear
to be hopeless. He wore no clothes. In Luke's account, we read that
he wore no clothes. This man wore no clothes. He
had no covering. Adam and Eve, they tried to knit
some fig leaves together, didn't they? To try and cover their
nakedness. But listen, that wouldn't do,
would it? God had to make them coats of
skin. God had to clothe them. God had
to cover their nakedness. And that's where we're found,
by nature, without a covering. Without a covering. Our natural
condition is declared. Sinners. Sinners. Unclean, uncovered,
dead in trespasses and sin. And if we read on here in Mark
5, we see Christ revealed. Look at verse 6 of Mark chapter
5. It says, when this man, when
he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and he worshipped Him. When he
saw Him. In Proverbs 20 verse 12 we read,
the hearing ear and the seeing eye the Lord hath made both of
them." This man's been given an eye to see Christ. I read of, I don't know how many
people were there or around, but we read of one to whom the
Lord was pleased to reveal Himself to. And this man, it says, he
ran to Him. He made haste. Wouldn't we be
wise Wouldn't we be wise to do the same? To run, listen, to
run to the Savior and to follow His feet, to worship, to worship
Him. He's seen him. Job said this,
he said, I've heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now,
now mine eye seeth thee. And when he saw Him again, he
ran and he worshiped. Nothing indicates a word had
even been spoken. Yet this one who dwelt among
the tombs, this one who couldn't be bound with chains, he runs
to Christ and worships. He makes haste and falls at His
feet. There's a sense of urgency, isn't
there? There was for this man. Remember Philip and that eunuch?
When God sent Philip, He said He made haste. We read that a
few times in the Scripture. To make haste. That's what we
do when something's critical, isn't it? When someone's hurting
and they need help, we don't want someone just lollygagging
and taking their time. We need help and need it now.
He made haste. He falls at His feet. And third,
we see something of God's sovereignty. Look at verse 7 and 8, Mark 5. It says, He cried with a loud voice
and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the
Most High God? I adjure thee by God that thou
torment me not, for He said unto him, Come out of the man Thou
unclean spirit." Now there's much, much written
in the commentaries about this unclean spirit. This is what I know. Okay, this
is what the Scriptures declare. And I know this. Back there in
chapter 4, our Lord, He displayed His sovereign power over creation.
When He spoke to the wind and the waves and He said, peace
be still, His power over His creation is revealed. And when
He spoke and He said, peace be still, remember what His disciples
said? They said, what manner of man, what manner of man is
this? Even the wind and the sea obey Him. He's sovereign. He's sovereign in all things.
And just as He displayed His sovereignty over creation, He's
going to display that same power again with this man and with
this spirit. He speaks. When our Lord speaks,
He speaks in power. Just as He spoke to Lazarus.
Remember when Lazarus was in the grave? His body had laid
there so long that it began to smell, it began to stink. Death
had settled on him. Well, what happened? Our Lord
spoke in power. He said, Come forth. What happened? He that was dead
came forth. Our Lord speaks in power. And He declares this. He says
this of this spirit. Come out of this man, thou unclean
spirit. Is there any question as to what's
going to happen? It's going to listen. He commands
it to come out. And it's going to come out. And this evil spirit, it can
do, listen, it can do nothing without the Lord Jesus Christ
giving it leave. Turn over to Job, Job chapter
1. Job 1, look at verse 8, beginning
with verse 8. The Lord said unto Satan, Hast
thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in
the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and
escheweth evil? Then Satan answered the Lord
and said, Does Job fear God for naught? Hast thou not made a
hedge about him and about his house and about all that he hath
on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of
his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. Put
forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, and he'll curse
thee to thy face.' And the Lord said to Satan, Behold, all that
he hath is in thy power. Only upon himself put not forth
thy hand. So Satan went forth from the
presence of the Lord. Nothing. Nothing is done without
God's consent, without His decree. Not even, listen, not even an
evil spirit going into a herd of pigs and drowning in the sea. Nothing. Nothing takes place. Back to Mark 5. Look at verse
9. And he asked him, he said, what
is thy name? And he answered, saying, my name is Legion, for
we're many. And it besought him much that
he would not send them away out of the country. And there was
nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding, and all
the devils besought him, saying, send us into the swine, that
we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them
leave, and the unclean spirits went out and entered into the
swine, And the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea.
There were about 2,000 that were choked in the sea. And they that
fed the swine fled and told it in the city and in the country.
And they went out to see what it was that was done. Now look
at verse 15. And they came to Jesus and see Him that was possessed
with the devil. And he that had the legion, sitting
and clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. My fourth point. Here we see
a new man. Could that be the same man that
we read about earlier in this passage of Scripture? They came
to Jesus and see Him that was possessed with the devil and
had the legion. Here's what they found. This
man. This man, he's sitting. He's clothed. He's in his right
mind. And what's the people's response?
They were afraid. They were afraid. Here he is
sitting at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ. No chains? Huh? Listen, He's not bound anymore. He's clothed. He has a covering now. And in
His right mind. Turn to Isaiah 61. Look at verse 10 of Isaiah 61. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord. My soul shall be joyful in my
God. For he hath clothed me with the
garments of salvation, and he hath covered me with the robe
of righteousness. Clothed in beauty, not my own. Clothed with the garment of salvation. Covered with the robe of righteousness. Back there in Ezekiel, that infant
that was cast out into the open field, that one that was polluted
in her own blood, That one to whom the Lord was pleased to
speak life. He said this. He said this. He said, when I passed by thee
and looked upon thee, behold... You know, when I see gory things,
most of the time, I guess I look for a minute, but I want to turn
my head. You know, there's things you just don't want to see. What
was this? He said, when I passed by thee
and looked upon thee, when I saw thee laying there out in the
open field, polluted in thy own blood, he said, it was a time
of love. Time of love. And he said, I
spread my skirt over thee, and I covered thy nakedness, and
I swear unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith
the Lord God, and thou becamest mine. where He is. Clothed Him. That's what He did
for this man. He clothed Him. He made Him His
own. Clothed in His righteousness.
And back in our text, we see this. He was in His right mind. He's not what He was, was He? No more. Turn to 1 Corinthians
6. Do you have 1 Corinthians 6?
Look beginning with verse 9. This man is not what he was anymore. Verse 9 of 1 Corinthians 6, Know
ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?
Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,
nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revelers, nor extortioners
shall inherit the kingdom of God. That's a pretty tough list,
isn't it? But look what he says here. Look
at verse 11. Such were some of you. But, don't we love that word
in Scripture? But, you're washed. You're sanctified. You're justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus. and by the Spirit of our God. This man that dwelled among the
tombs, this man with an unclean spirit, this man that could not
be bound, he now sits at the feet of the Master. Doesn't that
give us hope? A good hope? A sure hope? He now sits at the place of submission. Turned from darkness to light. Turned from the power of sin
and Satan. And he now sits at the feet of
the Lord Jesus. A new man with a new desire. And listen, he no longer desires
to dwell among the tombs. This desire is Much different
than the desire of most of the folks in that town. His desire
is to be with the Lord. Isn't that what we read here? But listen, sadly, that's not
everyone's response. Not everyone's response to the
Savior. Let's read on here in Mark chapter 5. Look at verse 16. And they that
saw it, They were there. They that saw
it, you see that? They told them how it befell
Him that was possessed with the devil. They told about what they
saw. And also concerning the swine.
But listen, they began to pray Him to depart out of their coast. Instead of marveling at this great work, that had
been done. Instead of giving glory to the
Lord Jesus Christ for what had been accomplished in this man. Instead of praising Him and begging
mercy for their own souls. Think of the terrible condition
this gathering man was in. There's no way this was a secret. The people of that town They
saw this. I'm sure they probably talked
about him down at the barber shop. What a horrible man this
fellow was. Look what's been done in him.
Look what's been done for him. But what was their desire? That
Christ depart. Listen, they were more concerned
about those swine and about this disruption to their community
than they were for the souls of men, for their own souls,
taken up with the things of this world rather than the Savior. Doesn't that make you cry, Lord? Don't leave me to myself. Don't leave me to my will, don't
leave me to my way." There's a way, right? There's a way that
seems right unto man. And the end thereof are the ways
of death. In the land of Gadarenes, they
would have chose these pigs over our Lord. And that's surprising,
but you know, it really, it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be considered
Consider what happened at the cross. Consider what happened
at Calvary. Who would you have our release
unto you? Barabbas or the Lord Jesus Christ? And who did we... I say who did they say, but who
did we all say? Release Him. Release Barabbas. Away, what did they say of our
Lord? What we would all say. Away with
Him. Crucify Him. Oh, marvel not,
my brethren, if the world hate you. It hated our Lord. When we cry with that same voice
together, we'll not have this man to reign over us. In Luke 8, we read that, in Luke's
account, that the whole, listen, it wasn't just a, you know, sometimes
a small crowd makes a lot of noise, right? In Luke 8, we read
that the whole multitude, the whole multitude of the country
asked him to depart, to go away. That was the desire of the people. In verse 18 of Mark 5, it says
here that, and when he was come into the ship, he that had been
possessed of the devil prayed him, he prayed to the Lord that
he might be with him, to be with Christ. David said this, he said,
when my mother and my father forsake me, Listen, those who
are near and dear to this flesh, David said, when they forsake
me, then the Lord will take me up. The Lord, the Lord my shelter,
the Lord my strong tower, the Lord my shepherd, the Lord my
deliverer, the Lord my salvation. He said, I want to be I want
to be with Him. Paul, writing to the Philippians,
he said, I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is
far better. Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more needful
to you. To be with Him, to have His presence,
to be near Him, to have fellowship with Him, to know Him not just
as a Savior, but to know Him as my Savior. the Savior. Turn to Philippians 3. Philippians
3, look beginning with verse 8. Yea, doubtless, and I count
all things but lost for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus
my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and do
count them but done, that I may win Christ and be found in him,
not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that
which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which
is of God by faith. that I may know Him, and the
power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering,
and being made conformable unto His death, if by any means I
might attain unto the resurrection of the dead." He said, I want
to be with Christ. I want to be with Him. Now quickly,
back to our text, Mark 5. Look at verse 19. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not,
but saith unto him," listen here, "'Go home to thy friends, and
tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and
hath had compassion on thee.'" He said, go home. Go
home. Go back to your family. Go back
to your mom, your dad, your sister, your brother, your wife, your
children, the people you work with. Go to your friends and
tell them. Tell them. We don't hesitate to tell people
things, do we? I think if we're honest, we offer
up, I can speak for myself, offer up advice on everything. Well,
I think y'all do this, or I think y'all do that. I think this is
where y'all eat at, or this is where y'all shop, or this is
where y'all travel to. I mean, there's just no limit
to the good advice we have, right? Our Lord said this. This is probably
a good rule for all of us. We're going to tell somebody
something. Let's tell them this. Let's go tell what great things
the Lord has done for you. As a beggar, as a beggar that's
found some bread, let's go tell somebody else where we found
that. Wouldn't that be a good thing? Back in John chapter 6, our Lord,
He met that woman at the well. Remember that Samaritan woman?
And our Lord told her, He said, Whosoever drinketh of this water,
the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water
I shall give him shall be in him a well, a well of water springing
up into everlasting life. Boy, when she heard that, she
said, Give me that water. I won't have to come here and
I won't have to draw water no more. And our Lord said this,
He said, go call your husband. Go call your husband. And she
said, I don't have one. And He said, well, you've spoken
well. You've spoken well, because He said, you've had five of them,
and the one you're with right now isn't your husband. If you remember the account of
that woman, that later she made mention of the Messiah. And our
Lord revealed Himself. I believe our Lord revealed Himself
to her. And He said this, He said, I that speak to thee, am
He. She was talking something about
the Messiah and He said, I'm standing right in front of you.
And she ran to town. She was so excited she left her
water pot and she ran to town and she said to the men of that
town, she said, come see a man that told me all things that
I ever did. And she said, is not this, is
not this the Christ? Turn over there to John. Turn
to John chapter 4. John chapter 4. Look beginning with verse 39. And many of the Samaritans of
that city believed on Him. For the saying of the woman which
testified, He told me all that ever I did. So when the Samaritans
would come unto Him, They besought Him that He would tarry with
them. Well, the Gadarenes, they said,
get back on the ship and get out of here, right? Huh? When
the Samaritans were come to Him, they besought Him that He would
tarry with them. And He abode there two days. And many more believed, not because of what the woman
had said, but because of His own Word. And said unto the woman,
Now we believe, not because of thy saying, for we have heard
Him ourselves, and know this is indeed the Christ, the Savior
of the world. All that God might use us to
tell others about the Lord Jesus Christ? Now, in closing, consider this. What had the Lord done for this
man, this Gadarene back there in Mark 5? Listen, that which
He's done for all of His sheep. Great things He had done. What
great things hath He done? Well listen, He's cast out all
evil. He came to me. All of His sheep,
listen, He either comes to them or He brings them to Himself. This Gadarene man could say this,
He took away my sin and my shame. He suffered and died on the cross.
He shed His own blood. He alone bore my sin. The Lord Jesus Christ trod the
winepress of God's wrath alone. He did it. He clothed me. What had He done for this man
that was running naked? He clothed him. They found Him
clothed. He clothed me in His righteousness. He accomplished Salvation. And
listen, we're safe. Safe and secure in Him. Truly. Truly. Great things He had done. And listen, it's personal, isn't
it? Huh? Great things He had done. He
said, you go tell Him what great things the Lord had done for
you. Huh? For me. what great things
He had done. And listen, and He hath had compassion. He hath had mercy on me. Look at verse 20 here of Mark
5. And He departed and began to
publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for Him
and all men did marvel. Praise God. Truly, what manner
of man is this? What great things he had done
for his people. And again, that he might give
us opportunity and a willingness and a desire to tell others what
he's done, he's done for us. We thank God for his work. All
right, Isaac, come lead us in a song. Band and sing 37. 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 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, 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 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! And when I think that 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 in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, My God, how great Thou art! 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
