Standing alone inside an empty church, little Ansley starts to sing the words to this well-known hymn. Anyone that watches the video will see just how powerful this little girl's voice is.

What's even more powerful is how God is using Ansley and this hymn to remind the world of His goodness. 

The lyrics to the song "How Great Thou Art" were a gift from God to Carl Gustaf Boberg. Boberg was a Swedish pastor that was walking on a road one day as he was suddenly ensnared in a storm. As the wind whirled around him, Boberg's soul began to stir.

As Boberg was caught up in the thunderstorm, he began to look across the bay. Then, he heard the tolling of church bells as he began to hear and feel the words and melody to the song in his soul.

O Lord, my God, When I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds, Thy hands hath made.

As the song stirred in his soul, Boberg watched the storm subside. During this moment of peace, he began to utter the words of the hymn. In its initial form, the song was titled "O Store Gud" (O Great God) when it was published in the 1891 Witness of the Truth newspaper.

The song went on to be translated into Russian, then English. In modern times, this hymn is one of the most popular choices to sing at church. Even young people like Ansley are encouraged by this enduring song.

What is incredible about this version of the hymn is Ansley's fierce proclamation of her faith. Singing every word as powerfully as the next, Ansley couldn't hold back her love for the Lord.
