Psalms 150- Praise God With All You’ve Got

Over the years

I have been more convicted

To read God’s Word

My heart has been afflicted

These words are more than a story

Or something to write about

They are God breathed and helpful for life

In Christ I have no doubts

So in everything

Praise God with all you’ve got!

Give him your heart and soul

For from the cross our sin was bought

The Psalms point to something greater

Jesus Christ, our Savior and King

Merciful Father would we run after You

And hold fast to You while these Psalms we sing!

Psalms 149- A New Song Shall Be Sung

A new song shall be sung

One that extends to the heights

That seeps into the great depths

Praise the Lord in all His Might!

Praise Him today

Praise Him tomorrow

Praise Him with Joy

Praise Him in sorrow

God takes please in His children

Those who fear His name

Take heart all who come to the Father

For we can approach Him without shame

His Kingdom is made of the humble

For salvation adorns their hearts

Exalt God in all things!

Praising Him is an honor to take part

Psalms 148- Whether You Are

Whether you are down low

Or standing on high

God is always to be praised

He watches us with a careful eye

Whether you are a King or a pauper

Man or maiden

Praise the name of the Lord!

Who emptied the tomb He was laid in

Whether You are a saint or sinner

Troubled or overcome with delight

God is the horn of our salvation

He is our strength and might

Psalms 147- Raise Your Voice In Song

Dear Christian,

It is good to raise your voice in song

Bringing praises to the everlasting King

As often as the day is long

Like a house being built

Christ raises us up

Sets us on an immovable foundation

Steadfast love and grace overflows our cup

His Word runs swiftly

His love never runs out

His blessing is unending

His care never raises a doubt

Praise the Father

The Lord, the maker of all things

Christ strengthen our heart!

Daily help us sing

Psalms 146- Christ Sets The Prisoner Free

As we run the race of life

May we praise You with every step

With every breath in our lungs

In the inner being of our depths

Put not your hope in earthly princes

For man cannot stand the test

Only God’s fortress will last

For He is surely blessed

Christ sets the prisoner free

And gives hope to all the lost

He has given His life as a ransom

Jesus death has paid the cost

For I was that man

Bound, shackled by sin

Until Christ took hold of my life

And changed all that was within

May our mouths cry

Words of holy praise

And fix our eyes on Jesus

The author who has my gaze

Bless the Lord in all seasons

May He be like honey on your lips

For Christ is the sweetest of all

Yet nothing will compare to the Lord

This we surely know

Generations will speak Your name

Yahweh the Great I Am

You are the abundant King

Precious is the Lamb!

An impenetrable defense

Psalms 143- Surely You Have Always Run With Me!

When You gaze

Look upon Your child

For I am weak and inept

But Your love is tender and mild

For I am running in a race

But the enemy is on my tail

Chasing me to the end

My legs and arms surely fail

But Christ runs in front of me

Leading me step by step

Surely You have always run with me!

In Your arms I have wept

But I don’t need emotion

To already know what’s true

God holds us dearly and fast

He loves both me and you.

Lord I cry out to You

Wandering in the dark

I’m lost alone and in a cave

Like an arrow who has missed their mark

More constant than the rising sun

You carry the well of my sorrows

Your love is inferior to none

Yes, my soul faints

But God You do not

Thank for for carrying me

My soul You have sought

Lord I lift my prayers to You

Offering them with haste

May they be a fragrant presentation

Sweet to the taste

Guard my mouth Father

Protect the words of my lips

Do not incline my heart to evil

So I will not slip

Bless the righteous who sharpen

May they continually chide

For their words are like oil

From them may I never hide

Protect me from the traps

My eyes are ever towards You

In Your truth do I wrap

Knees are bent

Head held low

I come to You Father

With nothing to show

To You I give thanks

Christ do we exalt

He is steadfast and faithful

And has no faults

Every king will bow down

To offer You their thanks

For great is our God!

He has the highest rank

Although He is mighty

He cares for the small

His compassion is that of a Father

Love abounding for all

But fear ye haughty man

For You know the Father not

Pain will follow your pride

And destruction will surely be wrought

Though my heart is heavy

I know who holds my hand

My Savior, Lord, Father, and Friend

Your steadfast love is where I’ll stand

The great love that Jesus has proved
