Praise God, the Father

Praise God, the Father I’ll praise God for His goodness, As long as I have breath. I’ll praise Him for His works of wonder, His perfect creation of this earth. Our God is a tender and merciful Father; His children take comfort in His service. There are so many reasons to praise Him— All our praise, He does cherish! Praise is a part of worship And in song, Him we do praise. This praise lifts our spirits, All darkness to erase. It delights the Father’s heart To hear each praise of melody. His angelic hosts in heaven, Sing along in harmony. Let’s praise God the Father For all that He has done. Sacrificed His only Son; Our eternity to be won. He’s given us the opportunity Upon His goodness to call. He provides comfort when in pain, Our healing to install. Praise God the Father; It’s our praise that gives Him joy. With music sweeter than any bird, Our praise always employ. Praise our one and only Creator; The Master and Savior of all. Even for our praise, On His graciousness we call.

Beautiful words of praise you have shared this morning..."Sing praises to God and to his name! Sing loud praises to him who rides the clouds. His name is the LORD? rejoice in his presence!" - Psalm 68:4...Blessings, Rhonda:)
