In spite of our circumstances and various trials, the Lord delights in our praises.
He blesses us when we praise Him. If you have children, you especially see how much
God loves the praise because you get excited when your child walks up to you and
says, "I love you!"
Praise the Lord,
O my soul;
Praise with all my might
To my God and
King,
Who alone is worthy of praise!
For great are his wondrous deeds
To blot all my
sins
And to raise me from the dead Like He did
To insure an eternal home in heaven.
Yes, praise the Lord,
O my soul,
For my new body
-
That He promised
me!
How wonderful and magnificent will it be
Not only to walk and talk
With the Loving
Father,
Who skillfully made me and knows all my way,
But to eternally praise His Holy
Name
And to shout thanksgiving to Him
Without ceasing!
For in praising Him is why I
Along
with the rest of mankind
Was originally created
As well as to live and dwell in the
full richness
Of His Glory!
But as a fish that has jumped out of the water,
I have
gone astray from my natural environment
And gasped for every breath
To have perfect
fellowship
And to be put in unity with and in Him
-
Thanks to be
through Jesus Christ,
My Lord and redeemer,
Who gives me joy and peace on earth
By sending
me His Holy Spirit
And Who one day will grant my longing soul
To finally enjoy dwelling
in the full richness
Of His Glory!
Praise the Lord,
All my soul;
Give glory and honor
to Him
From this time forth!
PRAISE YE THE LORD!!!
