A Song of Praise

I am a child of God!

I will extol You, my God and King,

and bless Your name forever and ever.

My response can never be enough.

Every day I will bless You and

praise Your name forever and ever.

I stand in awe!

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,

and His greatness is unsearchable.

Do I share the big and little "God-things"?

One generation shall commend

Your works to another,

and shall declare Your mighty acts.
On the glorious splendor of Your majesty,

and on Your wondrous works, I will meditate.
They shall speak of the might of

Your awesome deeds, and I will

declare Your greatness.
They shall pour forth the fame of Your

abundant goodness and shall sing

aloud of Your righteousness.

When I see God working, am I thankful?

When I don't see Him working,

do I tell myself Truth?

The LORD is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
The LORD is good to all,

and His mercy is over all that He has made.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

All Your works shall give thanks to You,

O LORD, and all Your saints shall bless You!
They shall speak of the glory of

Your kingdom and tell of Your power,
to make known to the children of man

Your mighty deeds, and the

glorious splendor of Your kingdom.

I am part of an eternal purpose!

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

and Your dominion endures

throughout all generations.

(The LORD is faithful in all His words

and kind in all His works.)

Do I rest in God?

The LORD upholds all who are falling and

raises up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look to You,

and You give them their food in due season.

Do I trust in God?

Am I letting Him change me?

Am I looking to Him?

You open Your hand;

You satisfy the desire of

every living thing.
The LORD is righteous in all His ways

and kind in all His works.
The LORD is near to all who call on Him,

to all who call on Him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him;

He also hears their cry and saves them.

God's ways are just and holy and good.

The LORD preserves all who love Him,

but all the wicked He will destroy.

I can never testify enough!

My mouth will speak the praise of the LORD,

and let all flesh bless His holy name

forever and ever.

{Psalm 145}
