I arranged this song as a way of breathing new life into something I love. My desire was to preserve the original melody and lyrics from this historic song and present it with a new arrangement. The hope is for this song to be seen with new eyes. To break us out of the monotony that comes with time and to unleash the power of these lyrics afresh.
My musical inspiration for this song came from spending time listening to electronic artists that I love and a desire to keep this song "small" in production. I wanted to be able to mold everything on my own, free from outside input or expectation. I played all keys, synth, drums, modular instruments and bass. My good friend, Jordan Lucas, plays guitar and sings background vocals on every track. I am incredibly grateful for his friendship and artistry. I could not have done this without his help. My desire was to make something that I love and I hope you love it too. Thanks for listening. - Adam
lyrics
Oh 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
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
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 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
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
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
