Sometimes, we just need to praise our God. Psalms 148 & 150 from the Message.
Hallelujah!
He set them in place from all time to eternity;
He gave his orders, and that’s it!
Praise God from earth, you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps; Fire and hail, snow and ice, hurricanes obeying his orders;
Mountains and all hills, apple orchards and cedar forests; Wild beasts and herds of cattle, snakes, and birds in flight; Earth’s kings and all races, leaders and important people, Robust men and women in their prime, and yes, graybeards and little children.
Let them praise the name of God - it’s the only Name worth praising. His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky; he’s built a monument—his very own people!
Praise from all who love God! Israel’s children, intimate friends of God.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Praise God in his holy house of worship,
praise him under the open skies;
Praise him for his acts of power,
praise him for his magnificent greatness;
Praise with a blast on the trumpet,
praise by strumming soft strings;
Praise him with castanets and dance,
praise him with banjo and flute;
Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum,
praise him with fiddles and mandolin.
Let every living, breathing creature praise God!
Hallelujah!
Prayer:
Father,
It's been said that she who sings prays twice. Lord, I pray the words from the old song, Calvary's the Reason Why. I was lost but YOU knew where to find me. I was hungry, YOU were bread for my soul. I was thirsty and YOU gave living water. YOU were my shelter when I had no place to go. And that's why sometimes I just want to praise YOU. Sometimes just to speak YOUR name. Oh sometimes I just want to thank YOU, Without asking YOU for a thing. Oh sometimes I lift my hands to YOU. And sometimes all I do is cry. Everything that I have I owe to YOU, LORD, and Calvary's the reason why. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
