Many of us enjoy singing the song written by Mosie Lister many years ago. The song is thought provoking and usually asks us to do some serious introspective evaluation upon ourselves. The song also serves as a reminder of the great privilege we have in being able to pray to the great God of heaven. Yes, that One who created the heavens and the earth and put all life on it, and sustains all life until the end of time.
