To God Be the Glory
When I found out that I was chosen as feature blogger of the week, I was stunned. Then this hymn by Fanny Crosby came to my mind. My main goals for having a blog have always been to point people to Jesus, my Lord and Savior, to glorify God, and to encourage others. If I have done any of these, I have not blogged in vain :). I appreciate Homeschoolblogger.com very much for providing that opportunity. I have had such a wonderful experience being here. I have laughed, cried, made friends, gained insights, prayed for those in trials, been blessed & inspired, and had fun. I even won some contests (here and there). My husband won one last year and my eight year old son won one recently. We feel so blessed.
To GOD Be the Glory
By Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915
To God be the glory--great things He hath done!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the Lifegate that all may go in.
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood!
To ev'ry believer the promise of God;
The vilest offender who truly believes,
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
Great things He hath taught us, great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son;
But purer and higher and greater will be our wonder,
Our transport, when Jesus we see.
Chorus: Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory--great things He hath done.
"I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever." Psalm 86:12 |

I love that hymn. I posted it on my blog just last week. Fanny crosby sure had a way with words, and expressing her relationship with God. I am always encouraged by her hymns.
