Through the Woods

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Time Out is asking for our favorite song.

Mine is How Great Thou Art.  This card illustrates the second verse.

I've printed the first two verses and chorus below.

I used the sketch that Jen T. created for Freshly Made Sketches #695.

 

The watercolor background was done with Distress inks on Mixed Media paper.

The die cut was from linen paper and shaded with watercolor pencil.

Birds were cut from some Brusho backgrounds and

the sentiment was computer generated.

How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God

When I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works

Thy hands have made,

I see the stars,

I hear the rolling thunder,

Thy pow’r throughout

The universe displayed!

Chorus

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 thru 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,

Chorus

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!

                                  

                                Carl Boberg, 1886

If you get a chance, listen to Carrie Underwood singing this on YouTube.
