Praise
Sing out the praise of your heart loud and clear
The language you use is not understood but have no fear
I receive your praise with an open heaven each time
Your words are different but My angels understand every line
Do not fear to let go of the everyday theme
Praise comes out of worship and blesses everyone it seems
Keep your heart open to receive as you praise Me
My angels will reply to all your petitions and you will see
The glory of heaven presented every day in a different way
Some of the time it will be a gift of something for which you did not pray
A simple smile, a hug or a touch of someone’s hand
So praise every day the gifts you have, for on them you will stand
Glorious in victory over death and destruction too
Cast down the gloom of the day as your praise renews
The peace in your heart that only praise can satisfy
Worship is the only freedom creating power that you can justify
(2 Chr 5:13 NIV) The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice, to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, they raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang: “He is good; his love endures forever.” Then the temple of the LORD was filled with a cloud.
(Psa 96:2 NIV) Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.
(Psa 100:4 NIV) Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.
(Jer 17:14 NIV) Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.
(Rev 5:12 NIV) In a loud voice they sang: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”
(Rev 5:13 NIV) Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
