**************************************************************
God's greatness is such a basic and all-encompassing reality that sometimes saying "God is great!" feels...cliché. 🤷🏻
But is it?
Maybe the reason it feels that way is because we too often pass over the idea without giving it the attention it deserves. Maybe the reason we don't give it the attention it deserves is because the reality of it is so universal - i.e. we take it for granted. And maybe that's a real travesty 😕. Why?
Because meditating on the most universal truths can offer us real hope, joy, and peace because they ground us in what's real no matter what's happening around us. 🙌🏻
That's why I recorded a performance video of the classic hymn, How Great Thou Art. It's...well...cliché! 😊 It was written 150 years ago in Swedish, translated into two other languages before English, covered by everyone from George Beverly Shea to Carrie Underwood, and voted second favorite hymn of all time (second to Amazing Grace).
And that's why I think maybe it's worth considering "all the worlds Thy hands have made" today.
You'll notice in the video that I did some slight re-harmonizing. Because the hymn is so familiar ("cliché" being the word of the day 😉), I figured adding some unexpected sounds might serve to make it fresh again.

One of my favorite hymns, beautifully done.

This is a very beautiful version of the hymn. I probably will listen to it over and over again.

So glad to hear :) At some point, I hope to put this recording on an album for folks to listen to on Spotify/Apple Music or a physical CD. If you'd like to be sure to know when it's available, you can join my email list: tinyletter.com/zachjames
