How great thou are heavenly King You are salvation our everything, You are the air that we breathe, You are perfection in all we see.
You are the light in life’s journey That leads us from paths thorny, You lift us when we’ve fallen down And set our feet on hallowed ground.
You give our hearts cause to rejoice As we listen to whispers of your voice Guiding us through life’s tribulations, Steering us toward eternal salvation.
You listen to hear our every prayer We have only to ask and you are there To give contentment to a troubled mind And help us through each perilous time.
We’re met with temptations every day But have only to pray to find our way, Our pleas for guidance you always hear As we struggle through trials severe.
Though sorrow and strife may visit us We put our faith in you sweet Jesus, Our grief and worry you understand And can rid them with a wave of hand.
When we’re down and feeling low We know there is a place to go, That place is on our knees Asking you God to help us please.
There is a divine answer for us all No matter what troubles may befall, We turn to you Lord God in prayer For our only salvation is there.
