Passport To Paradise, Visa To Victory

Praise the lord for his milk, might and mercies,
Praise him for his love, light and Lordship,
Praise him for his peace, power and presence,
Praise him for his grace, grains and greatness,
Praise him for his word, works and wonders,
Praise him in sickness, strength and sorrows,
Praise him in winter… whatever the weather,
Praise him for your breath, blood and body,
Praise him for your wealth, woes and weakness,
Praise him for your earnings, errors and essence,
Praise him for the storms, the stars and sunshine,
Praise him for the rains, the rods and the rainbows
Praise him in spring… summer; sweet or sour seasons
Praise him in his sanctuary, while sitting or standing
Praise him for the soil, the skies and… the seas
Praise him for what you owe, own and hope for 
Praise him for your past, present and prospects
Praises is the passport to peace, power and progress
Praise the lord wherever, whenever and whatever…
