In the following passage Jesus is speaking to his disciples Matthew 18:19-20 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
I am a young Roman Catholic from Ireland and this is the best version of this song on youtube, reminds me so much of going to mass with my late mother who will be gone four years this winter
Are you Catholic? Did you know that Mary is not a Perpetual Virgin? Because she had Sex and Gave Birth to other Children: Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?Matthew 13:55-56 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the BROTHER of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his SISTERS here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Mark 6:3-4 Mary Shouldn't also be Exalted over Men as your Catechism 966 Says: Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death." The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians. (Catechism 966) Because: Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Timothy 2:11-12 You have also made Mary a Pagan Goddess by exalting her thus as: The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Jeremiah 7:18 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left off to burn incense to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to WORSHIP HER, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men? Etc...Jeremiah 44:17-19 Also Peter is not the Pope or the Rock as Catholics Believe within Catechism 881-882: The Lord made Simon alone, whom he named Peter, the "rock" of his Church. He gave him the keys of his Church and instituted him shepherd of the whole flock. "The office of binding and loosing which was given to Peter was also assigned to the college of apostles united to its head." This pastoral office of Peter and the other apostles belongs to the Church's very foundation and is continued by the bishops under the primacy of the Pope. (Catechism 881) The Pope, Bishop of Rome and Peter's successor, "is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful." "For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered." (Catechism 882) Jesus is the Rock, As Peter Believed he was the Rock that the Church is Built upon: To whom coming, as unto a living STONE, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief CORNER STONE, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the STONE which the builders disallowed, the same is made the HEAD OF THE CORNER, And a STONE of stumbling, and a ROCK of offence. 1 Peter 2:4-8 Paul also believed Jesus is the Rock that the Church is Built upon: And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that ROCK was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:4 Peter rejected People Bowing Down to him: And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. Acts 10:25-26 Contrary to how Pope's allow people Bowing down to them. Peter also had a Wife: And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. Matthew 8:14 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. Luke 4:38 Contrary to your belief that Pope's are meant to be Celibate. Also there is no such thing as a purgatory Catechism 1030-1031 says: All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. (Catechism 1030) The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence and Trent. The tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing fire. (Catechism 1031) Only ETERNAL Hellfire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with UNQUENCHABLE FIRE. Matthew 3:12 And Celebratung Mass (eating Jesus's Flesh and Drinking his Blood) is not necessary for Salvation as Catechism 1406-1407 says: 'Jesus said: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; . . . he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and . . . abides in me, and I in him" (Jn 6:51, 54, 56). The Eucharist is the heart and the summit of the Church's life, for in it Christ associates his Church and all her members with his sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving offered once for all on the cross to his Father; by this sacrifice he pours out the graces of salvation on his Body which is the Church. (Catechism 1406-1407)' As eating his Flesh is only Spiritual as Jesus said: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. John 6:47-48 Because The Flesh Profits nothing: It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth NOTHING: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
Also Bowing down and Venaratung Images is wrong which you do according to Catechism 2132: The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it." The honor paid to sacred images is a "respectful veneration," not the adoration due to God alone. (Catechism 2132) Because: Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me Exodus. 20:4-5 Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1 Prayng to Saints is also wrong which you do according to Catechism 956: The intercession of the saints. "Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness. . . . They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus. . . . So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped." (Catechism 956) Because it is Praying to the Dead. It is Necromancy: Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a NECROMANCER. Deuteronomy 18:11 And only the Spirit makes Intercession for us: Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27 To put in a Nutshell, Being a Catholic is Antibiblical. Jesus Saves!
@@ayoolukoga9829 You have tried to foist your own ignorance and narrow-mindedness on Catholics. For example, you misinterpreted the word " brethren" of Jesus to mean His siblings. it most definitely means cousins or near relatives and not siblings. Even when in the OT Yahweh says He would send a prophet from among "your brethren" it means from the 12 tribes of Israel. The rest of what you have written is judgmental gibberish. You say being a Catholic is Anti-Biblical. Am I to suppose you follow the Bible literally? If that is the case, would you turn the other cheek when someone slaps you one cheek? At least by your toxic and insolent accusations you have exposed yourself as a hypocrite who maligns Catholics against Jesus' own advice, " Judge not so that you will not be judged"
@@johnpereira9755 Mary had Sex and Gave Birth to other Children: Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?Matthew 13:55-56 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the BROTHER of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his SISTERS here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Mark 6:3-4
@@ayoolukoga9829 In many Middle Eastern and Asian languages brother and sister can mean cousin especially in joint families and not necessarily siblings. That Jesus was a carpenter's son refers to His foster father Joseph. It is possible that many people were unaware that Jesus was born by the power of the Holy Spirit without male intervention. To prove your point, you must give a verse from the Gospels that says Mary had many other children from Joseph. Otherwise, your insolent and rash fulminations drawn from ambiguous verses amounts to unadulterated trash.
This song is favorite of my Grandfa and my grandma. I was with them until 12yrs old. My father also favorite this song. Now my wife and my children knows that this song is also my favorite. I always sing this song after my testimony and when I'm guessing in other church gathering. Truly makes my hearts❤💞 worship my Loving God with all my spirit and my emotions everytime that I'm singing this song. Thank you Lord❤❤❤
You are, of course, correct but it is also the case that a part of the parent survives in the children left behind; for the spirit of the dead lives on in the memory of the living.
I’m glad you had a good relationship with your father. I will be so relieved when mine is gone. The grief and sorrow from his abuse will finally be over... I feel like my life will finally be able to begin.
I didn’t know Jesus until 2012…. Gave my life to Jesus Christ in 2014. Free from sin and bearing witness of his love and good news to all with the power of the Holy Spirit. I understand each and every word of this hymn with its profound meaning and I cry to my Lord “thank you Abba, Father” who saved us sinners. Hallelujah!
Being a Christian is a wonderful thing. God bless you in all you do for him We can still have our fun in lots of ways. Go to the movies. dinner together. Give people birthday parties.
Iam from China thank God bring this song to me. Let me feel clam and peace and remind me when I was little. I often went to Catholic Church with my grandma.and 20 yrs gone only Lord let me feel peace and love❤
I identify with what you are saying. It is the same with me. Sending you big hugs and much love. May God bless you with His peace to comfort you in your loss. Time does not erase the missing part of us left by our beloved who has gone to be with Him.
Please tell me how you can be a happy atheist? God so loved you that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to take all of your sins and make a way to escape Hell and the dreaded time spent there for unbelievers. God bless you, and I will be praying that God the Holy Spirit will touch your heart and convict you of sin, and that you will accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. God loves you, my friend...Bob Wofford....
Sir Jesus loves you even if you don't love him. His love is unconditional, you don't get that even from your parents. A mother can forsake his child but he won't!!
This hymn was chosen by my Gran for the final song at her funeral. This very line gives me the comfort I know she’s in a better place. It’s a true celebration of life and faith.
The most stunning sacred hymn. I believe Elvis Presley's performance is unrivalled, however this one touches one's heart. C'mon, world, abandon your stupidity and recognize that God exists! May everyone praise Him. Amen.
Makes me cry all the time. I don't with this song but it just pierces through my hear , my soul and the lovely childhood memories that I've spent with my grandparents. I grew up with them.
My grandma just passed and this was one of her favorite songs to sing at church. I love this and love her so much. Memories fill my head when we sing this at church. Love you Oma
The full version sang about the creation of heaven and earth and trees and birds and Christ our Lord came to die for us and then his return, a wonderful and complete Gospel.
[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art! [Verse 2] 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 see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze [Refrain] Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art! [Verse 3] 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 [Refrain] Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art! [Verse 4] 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 then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!" [Refrain] Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Not one of my most favourite hymns, but having sung it at a friend's funeral service today, I decided to re-visit. May God bless you Grace, and may you rest in peace.
As a liturgist, one of the few times I talked back to a minister was when she told me she hated this song and didn't want it in her church. I told her that she clearly wasn't thinking straight and that she should leave certain decisions to the liturgist. This is a powerful song that everyone loves and can be done almost any time of the year. Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh. But that's how much she annoyed me when she laughingly insulted this song.
She clearly isn't a true believer! Her motives for being a minister are left to God but, as you mentioned, this song has power. This song ignites the fire of the Holy Spirit. Anyone who doesn't like it has disdain for the power or spirit of God. The name Jesus Christ has power too. If she refuses to speak the name Jesus Christ, or acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord then, she is a fake and has the spirit of antichrist. Not thee antichrist but, the spirit of one. Satan has many false plants in the church.
@@Batya-Grace Hey Joyful Noise. I only just got your comment. Would you believe, I played it tonight? And of course everyone loved it. I'm afraid you may be more right than you know. I better not say too much about her, but I kind of share your opinion. There is something so moving about this hymn. And no matter how often I play it, people NEVER get tired of it. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
Joyful Noise Who are you to condemn the faith of another human being? Who do you think you are entitled to use the words “Not a true believer” ? I’ve read a lot in YT comments but this is by far the most pretentious comment I have ever seen.
Even though I’m an atheist, this song really gives me great nostalgia. A beautiful chorus of voices singing in unison. Irrespective of the content, it does provide a wonderful example of the amazing feeling of human solidarity through music.
Chase1493 Me too, I've heard it sung in a small Welsh church and discussed with the church minister how powerfully emotive it is. One doesn't have to believe it to feel the emotion it arouses.
How wonderful to hear this group of Christian brothers and sisters from "across the pond" singing "How Great Thou Art!" Our little group just sang it at church on Easter Sunday, but it was nothing like this! [I believe all versions are pleasing to our Lord!]
what memories - I shared the bill in this wonderful cathedral way back in the early 80s. with Jo Brown. What a fantastic song of praise. thank you for sharing.
I guess I identify as agnostic. Don't want to lose ALL hope by calling myself an atheist. But went to Catholic School and some of these hymns still SLAP. Including this one. But this was also the opening Hymn to my old friend's funeral service, and that makes it bittersweet. But it makes me think of him whenever I hear it. RIP, Hunter. I know you're killing them with that guitar in the afterlife.
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: Refrain 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: 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. 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!
I've been searching for a version of this hymn that I can use in my private devotion. I like this version It's very basic, not a lot of adornment like some versions. And I like that it has the lyrics at the bottom. Thank you for posting!
Loving Father thank you for the gift of worship thank you for these gifted children Bless them and their loved ones May we always remember how great you are and be thankful for your Grace and sacrifice In Jesus' Name Amen
So I used to go to church with my grandmother. It was this little tiny probably 20 people church and I was a kid; like 10 or younger. The pastor used to ask for requests every once in a while and I would always ask for this song; every single time. Even when I was really little, since I'd been going there since I was born, I would point to it and have her ask for me. I no longer am religious but I do miss singing as a congregation. It was so fun and the church I went to was like me one other young kid and about 18 grandparents (or pianist was no joke 100 when we moved from that town; she was a little tiny old lady. Her name was Jane and she was super sweet; everyone there was tbh). I wish my grandmother was still alive; she had strokes and was in a nursing home (and had been for quite sometime) when the quarentine started. She died without any of us being able to see her or to visit her. I would've liked to have sung this with her one more time before she passed. I really do miss her. Wonderful version of this song; sounds much different when there's this many people in such a large space. Love this so much.
How to get to heaven,: be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ : The Gospel according to Saint John Chapter 3 Verse 16: (Note, All Scriptures taken from the King James Version) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" . How to be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ: Romans Chapter 10 Verses 6 to 13. "But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven (that is , to bring Christ down from above: ) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh three, even in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, *thou shalt be saved* . For with the heart man believeth unto Righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture sayeth, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. *For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved* " I hope those Scriptures Help You and all who read this. Love and Peace :)
I Love the (currently?) free internet. Even though this video is 9 years old it inspires as it it were first shown today. Praise GOD. HIS WORD endures forever!
I Love this song. I am an atheist but I think if anyone could add to the lines about the wonders of the universe they could have me. This earth we live in is a miracle. How great thou art.

Are you Catholic?
Did you know that Mary is not a Perpetual Virgin?
Because she had Sex and Gave Birth to other Children:
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?Matthew 13:55-56
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the BROTHER of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his SISTERS here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Mark 6:3-4
Mary Shouldn't also be Exalted over Men as your Catechism 966 Says:
Finally the Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from all stain of original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, and exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things, so that she might be the more fully conformed to her Son, the Lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death." The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of other Christians. (Catechism 966)
Because:
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Timothy 2:11-12
You have also made Mary a Pagan Goddess by exalting her thus as:
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. Jeremiah 7:18
But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. But since we left off to burn incense to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine. And when we burned incense to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to WORSHIP HER, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men? Etc...Jeremiah 44:17-19
Also Peter is not the Pope or the Rock as Catholics Believe within Catechism 881-882:
The Lord made Simon alone, whom he named Peter, the "rock" of his Church. He gave him the keys of his Church and instituted him shepherd of the whole flock. "The office of binding and loosing which was given to Peter was also assigned to the college of apostles united to its head." This pastoral office of Peter and the other apostles belongs to the Church's very foundation and is continued by the bishops under the primacy of the Pope. (Catechism 881)
The Pope, Bishop of Rome and Peter's successor, "is the perpetual and visible source and foundation of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful." "For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered." (Catechism 882)
Jesus is the Rock, As Peter Believed he was the Rock that the Church is Built upon:
To whom coming, as unto a living STONE, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief CORNER STONE, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the STONE which the builders disallowed, the same is made the HEAD OF THE CORNER, And a STONE of stumbling, and a ROCK of offence. 1 Peter 2:4-8
Paul also believed Jesus is the Rock that the Church is Built upon:
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that ROCK was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:4
Peter rejected People Bowing Down to him:
And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man. Acts 10:25-26
Contrary to how Pope's allow people Bowing down to them.
Peter also had a Wife:
And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. Matthew 8:14
And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. Luke 4:38
Contrary to your belief that Pope's are meant to be Celibate.
Also there is no such thing as a purgatory Catechism 1030-1031 says:
All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. (Catechism 1030)
The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence and Trent. The tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing fire. (Catechism 1031)
Only ETERNAL Hellfire:
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with UNQUENCHABLE FIRE. Matthew 3:12
And Celebratung Mass (eating Jesus's Flesh and Drinking his Blood) is not necessary for Salvation as Catechism 1406-1407 says:
'Jesus said: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; . . . he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and . . . abides in me, and I in him" (Jn 6:51, 54, 56).
The Eucharist is the heart and the summit of the Church's life, for in it Christ associates his Church and all her members with his sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving offered once for all on the cross to his Father; by this sacrifice he pours out the graces of salvation on his Body which is the Church. (Catechism 1406-1407)'
As eating his Flesh is only Spiritual as Jesus said:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. John 6:47-48
Because The Flesh Profits nothing:
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth NOTHING: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63
Also Bowing down and Venaratung Images is wrong which you do according to Catechism 2132:
The Christian veneration of images is not contrary to the first commandment which proscribes idols. Indeed, "the honor rendered to an image passes to its prototype," and "whoever venerates an image venerates the person portrayed in it." The honor paid to sacred images is a "respectful veneration," not the adoration due to God alone. (Catechism 2132)
Because:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me Exodus. 20:4-5
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 26:1
Prayng to Saints is also wrong which you do according to Catechism 956:
The intercession of the saints. "Being more closely united to Christ, those who dwell in heaven fix the whole Church more firmly in holiness. . . . They do not cease to intercede with the Father for us, as they proffer the merits which they acquired on earth through the one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus. . . . So by their fraternal concern is our weakness greatly helped." (Catechism 956)
Because it is Praying to the Dead.
It is Necromancy:
Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a NECROMANCER. Deuteronomy 18:11
And only the Spirit makes Intercession for us:
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:26-27
To put in a Nutshell,
Being a Catholic is Antibiblical.
Jesus Saves!
@@ayoolukoga9829
You have tried to foist your own ignorance and narrow-mindedness on Catholics. For example, you misinterpreted the word " brethren" of Jesus to mean His siblings. it most definitely means cousins or near relatives and not siblings. Even when in the OT Yahweh says He would send a prophet from among "your brethren" it means from the 12 tribes of Israel. The rest of what you have written is judgmental gibberish.
You say being a Catholic is Anti-Biblical. Am I to suppose you follow the Bible literally? If that is the case, would you turn the other cheek when someone slaps you one cheek? At least by your toxic and insolent accusations you have exposed yourself as a hypocrite who maligns Catholics against Jesus' own advice, " Judge not so that you will not be judged"
@@johnpereira9755 Mary had Sex and Gave Birth to other Children:
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us?Matthew 13:55-56
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the BROTHER of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his SISTERS here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. Mark 6:3-4
@@ayoolukoga9829 In many Middle Eastern and Asian languages brother and sister can mean cousin especially in joint families and not necessarily siblings. That Jesus was a carpenter's son refers to His foster father Joseph. It is possible that many people were unaware that Jesus was born by the power of the Holy Spirit without male intervention. To prove your point, you must give a verse from the Gospels that says Mary had many other children from Joseph. Otherwise, your insolent and rash fulminations drawn from ambiguous verses amounts to unadulterated trash.
This song is favorite of my Grandfa and my grandma. I was with them until 12yrs old. My father also favorite this song. Now my wife and my children knows that this song is also my favorite. I always sing this song after my testimony and when I'm guessing in other church gathering. Truly makes my hearts❤💞 worship my Loving God with all my spirit and my emotions everytime that I'm singing this song. Thank you Lord❤❤❤
They sang this at my Dad's funeral last year. When a parent dies, part of you dies with that parent. RIP Dad. I will never forget you.
May god bless you
You are, of course, correct but it is also the case that a part of the parent survives in the children left behind; for the spirit of the dead lives on in the memory of the living.
William Poole such a lovely sentiment
I’m glad you had a good relationship with your father. I will be so relieved when mine is gone. The grief and sorrow from his abuse will finally be over... I feel like my life will finally be able to begin.
@@Rosepaku Thank you.
There's no time that I listen to this song that I don't shed tears. I miss my grandparents. I miss them. This song proves that God exist.
I didn’t know Jesus until 2012…. Gave my life to Jesus Christ in 2014. Free from sin and bearing witness of his love and good news to all with the power of the Holy Spirit. I understand each and every word of this hymn with its profound meaning and I cry to my Lord “thank you Abba, Father” who saved us sinners. Hallelujah!
Welcome to our family. May the only God bless you and accompany your steps in your life. 😇
Being a Christian is a wonderful thing. God bless you in all you do for him
We can still have our fun in lots of ways. Go to the movies. dinner together. Give people birthday parties.
Iam from China thank God bring this song to me. Let me feel clam and peace and remind me when I was little. I often went to Catholic Church with my grandma.and 20 yrs gone only Lord let me feel peace and love❤
Amen
Great is our Lord and mighty in power, His understanding is infinite. Psalm 147:5
I miss my Grandad every single day! He was a Reverend and this was his favourite hymn, forty years later I am still wrecked with grief!
It never truly goes away does it. Just know that one day, God willing, you two will be reunited to sing this hymn of praise together once again.
@@Bellg I pray so! ❤️🙏🇳🇿
May the Lord comfort you ❤
This was my mother's favourite hymn.. This is the first time I've been able to listen to it since she died 10 years ago..
May god bless you
@@Rosepaku Thank you - it doesn't get any easier.
I identify with what you are saying. It is the same with me. Sending you big hugs and much love. May God bless you with His peace to comfort you in your loss. Time does not erase the missing part of us left by our beloved who has gone to be with Him.
Please tell me how you can be a happy atheist? God so loved you that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ to take all of your sins and make a way to escape Hell and the dreaded time spent there for unbelievers. God bless you, and I will be praying that God the Holy Spirit will touch your heart and convict you of sin, and that you will accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. God loves you, my friend...Bob Wofford....
God bless ❤
I'm a happy Atheist - but if anything was going to bring me back to church it would be this Hymn! I love it.
I thihk God speaks to You through this hymn,Sir..
Sir Jesus loves you even if you don't love him. His love is unconditional, you don't get that even from your parents. A mother can forsake his child but he won't!!
George Bennett I’m glad you like this song :)
Apurv Gaurav If you read what George wrote, it’s not that he doesn’t love god; he believes god does not exist. There is quite a difference.
Thank you for showing me I'm not alone.
when you understand this song, its pure joy
"When Christ shall Come with shout of acclamation to take me home..." All the beauty of our faith in a line :)
It brings tears of joy to my eyes every time
This hymn was chosen by my Gran for the final song at her funeral. This very line gives me the comfort I know she’s in a better place. It’s a true celebration of life and faith.
I do agree.
this Hymn is so beautiful Its so Inspirational it opens up the heart and faith to remember Jesus died for us all
This hymn truly embodies the strength in faith and love for our Lord. I always get goosebumps - so beautifully crafted.
This was my Nan's favorite hymn, I have her to thank for instilling my faith. Miss you Nan.
May god bless you
It's lovely to watch and hear people singing to God.
The most stunning sacred hymn. I believe Elvis Presley's performance is unrivalled, however this one touches one's heart. C'mon, world, abandon your stupidity and recognize that God exists! May everyone praise Him. Amen.
Amen! God bless you
Makes me cry all the time. I don't with this song but it just pierces through my hear , my soul and the lovely childhood memories that I've spent with my grandparents. I grew up with them.
I am having this sung at my mother's funeral next week. It was sung at her mother's funeral and she loved this hymn so much.
My grandma just passed and this was one of her favorite songs to sing at church. I love this and love her so much. Memories fill my head when we sing this at church. Love you Oma
Amen!!!!!This makes me think about Gods creation and his beauty. Thank you for sharing this hymn. God Bless!!!
The full version sang about the creation of heaven and earth and trees and birds and Christ our Lord came to die for us and then his return, a wonderful and complete Gospel.
I love this hymn
My first solo in church was this song !!
takes me back to sunday school memories....inspirational
BlackMagicFilms great
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
[Verse 2]
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 see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze
[Refrain]
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
[Verse 4]
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 then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
[Refrain]
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
This was sung at my grandmas and my step fathers mothers funeral and gets me every time....beautiful
What a powerful song and you only truly feel it from being in a church.
Not one of my most favourite hymns, but having sung it at a friend's funeral service today, I decided to re-visit. May God bless you Grace, and may you rest in peace.
I love this hymn!! It's sums everything UP with the words HOW GREAT THOUGH ART!! PEACE FROM SCOTLAND.✌
So beautiful, and so true God is great , thank you , Shirley h Darlington England
My Grandad and Dad’s favourite hymn and now it’s mine.
This is an absolute banger! Love it.
One of my favourite hymns, thanks for sharing.
Lynda
As a liturgist, one of the few times I talked back to a minister was when she told me she hated this song and didn't want it in her church. I told her that she clearly wasn't thinking straight and that she should leave certain decisions to the liturgist. This is a powerful song that everyone loves and can be done almost any time of the year. Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh. But that's how much she annoyed me when she laughingly insulted this song.
She clearly isn't a true believer! Her motives for being a minister are left to God but, as you mentioned, this song has power. This song ignites the fire of the Holy Spirit. Anyone who doesn't like it has disdain for the power or spirit of God. The name Jesus Christ has power too. If she refuses to speak the name Jesus Christ, or acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord then, she is a fake and has the spirit of antichrist. Not thee antichrist but, the spirit of one. Satan has many false plants in the church.
@@Batya-Grace Hey Joyful Noise. I only just got your comment. Would you believe, I played it tonight? And of course everyone loved it. I'm afraid you may be more right than you know. I better not say too much about her, but I kind of share your opinion. There is something so moving about this hymn. And no matter how often I play it, people NEVER get tired of it. I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
Joyful Noise Who are you to condemn the faith of another human being? Who do you think you are entitled to use the words “Not a true believer” ? I’ve read a lot in YT comments but this is by far the most pretentious comment I have ever seen.
Even though I’m an atheist, this song really gives me great nostalgia. A beautiful chorus of voices singing in unison. Irrespective of the content, it does provide a wonderful example of the amazing feeling of human solidarity through music.
Chase1493
Me too, I've heard it sung in a small Welsh church and discussed with the church minister how powerfully emotive it is. One doesn't have to believe it to feel the emotion it arouses.
How wonderful to hear this group of Christian brothers and sisters from "across the pond" singing "How Great Thou Art!" Our little group just sang it at church on Easter Sunday, but it was nothing like this! [I believe all versions are pleasing to our Lord!]
If you want to make the world better, how about starting by being polite?
If this isn’t played at my funeral, I ain’t dying
😂brilliant. Me too.
This pandemic situation brings me here. It feels more safe and calm watching this.
May god bless you
Very nice. I love hearing the voices of the congregation singing these hymns, simple and straightforward.
How Great Thou art.
How great is our God,, this song will never be forgotten I loved it as a child but understands better as an adult, thanks for sharing 🎉🎉😅😅
I must admit only heard it recently at a funeral but a beautiful song
I am a NonChristian and love this hymn
Praise the Lord 🙏
The words! Praise be God. He lives and will return in glory.
what memories - I shared the bill in this wonderful cathedral way back in the early 80s. with Jo Brown. What a fantastic song of praise. thank you for sharing.
waaaaaw...
Oh my goodness how beautiful
So touching
Thank you for sharing
Beautiful, thank God
Just sheer perfection.
I guess I identify as agnostic. Don't want to lose ALL hope by calling myself an atheist. But went to Catholic School and some of these hymns still SLAP. Including this one.
But this was also the opening Hymn to my old friend's funeral service, and that makes it bittersweet. But it makes me think of him whenever I hear it. RIP, Hunter. I know you're killing them with that guitar in the afterlife.
I know this is an old comment but wanted to say sorry for the loss of your friend, and i hope someday you come home to the church. God bless you.
@@erint6540 It's people in the church like you that I appreciate.
Am here bcoz my grandmother loves to sings this in the kitchen ,
I love this so much , truly how great thou art my Lord and saviour 🥰✝️🙏🏻❤️
What a fabulous hymn! I love it.
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:
Refrain
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:
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.
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!
Thank you
Lovley
Love this hymn, i have instructed that at my funeral. This is the last song to be played. They can bugger off and get drunk, leave me with this hymn.
😂this made me laugh but well said and God bless 😊
pure jesus anthem
wow how awesome was this, one of the best i have heard of this song well done to all in great British land.
The fact that this is a video, does this no justice, when you’re really there, you are getting constant goosebumps up and down your body
Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing Amazing
Such a good hymn
I've been searching for a version of this hymn that I can use in my private devotion. I like this version It's very basic, not a lot of adornment like some versions. And I like that it has the lyrics at the bottom. Thank you for posting!
Loving Father thank you for the gift of worship thank you for these gifted children Bless them and their loved ones May we always remember how great you are and be thankful for your Grace and sacrifice In Jesus' Name Amen
So I used to go to church with my grandmother. It was this little tiny probably 20 people church and I was a kid; like 10 or younger. The pastor used to ask for requests every once in a while and I would always ask for this song; every single time. Even when I was really little, since I'd been going there since I was born, I would point to it and have her ask for me.
I no longer am religious but I do miss singing as a congregation. It was so fun and the church I went to was like me one other young kid and about 18 grandparents (or pianist was no joke 100 when we moved from that town; she was a little tiny old lady. Her name was Jane and she was super sweet; everyone there was tbh). I wish my grandmother was still alive; she had strokes and was in a nursing home (and had been for quite sometime) when the quarentine started. She died without any of us being able to see her or to visit her. I would've liked to have sung this with her one more time before she passed. I really do miss her.
Wonderful version of this song; sounds much different when there's this many people in such a large space. Love this so much.
To God be the glory.
God please help me to Make heaven
Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. Invite Him to come into your heart. Talk to Him in prayer. 🙏 John 3:16
May god bless you
How to get to heaven,: be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ : The Gospel according to Saint John Chapter 3 Verse 16: (Note, All Scriptures taken from the King James Version)
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" .
How to be saved by the Lord Jesus Christ: Romans Chapter 10 Verses 6 to 13.
"But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven (that is , to bring Christ down from above: ) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh three, even in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, *thou shalt be saved* . For with the heart man believeth unto Righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture sayeth, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. *For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved* "
I hope those Scriptures Help You and all who read this. Love and Peace :)
Thnx fo sharing, loving the song...
I like This Hymn Very Much Too.Praise You Lord ..
Now if listening this 10 times while focusing on the words of the song it's almost impossible to not get a bit religious
I Love the (currently?) free internet. Even though this video is 9 years old it inspires as it it were first shown today. Praise GOD. HIS WORD endures forever!
Best hymn ever
This is one of my favorites… I want it played at my wedding someday
Wonderful service in the most awesome building, in England's original capital. 😀
Perhaps King Alfred himself could hear that !
Just what I needed to hear. Many thanks.
Simply beautiful
I Love this song. I am an atheist but I think if anyone could add to the lines about the wonders of the universe they could have me. This earth we live in is a
miracle. How great thou art.
Buenos dias
