Chris Tomlin via last.fm

I just got back from a wonderful vacation to San Francisco. The journey was fantastic, just to look out over our beautiful California coastline. Along the way, I stopped to visit Morro Bay. Immediately many worship songs came to my mind... here is one to share with you. Are you familiar with How Great Is Our God by Chris Tomlin?

The song is so simple yet what stays with me over and over is that the song is perfect in describing what I saw on my trip... God is great and I live in a beautiful place.
