You Deserve My Praises, Lord
I praise You, Lord*, for Who You are…
…Majestic in Your grace that’s never afar
…Splendid in Your goodness brighter than any star
…Wondrously drawing me with worship-filled ecstasy to Your holy altar.
I praise You, Lord, as I delight in Your joy…
…Subduing my problems, fears and guilt that annoy
…Assuring me Your presence in our divine rendezvous along prayer-convoy
…Granting me sufficient provisions for Your work I can employ.
I praise You, Lord, as I listen to Your instruction…
…Truths helpful to my miraculous and unique transformation
…Statutes ready for my revival and rejuvenation
…Precepts vital to my maturity with virtuous finesse for faith’s action.
I praise You, Lord, as I trust Your promises…
…Faithful are they like Your forgiveness that cleanses
…Immutable, remaining steadfast throughout all ages
…Reliable, though doubt –making me precarious, oppressively surges.
I praise You, Lord, as I listen to Your counsel…
…Guiding me thru life’s puzzle to learn by its challenging hassle
…Leading me from vanity’s gallivanting dazzle to vanquish its futile bustle
…Teaching me to flex spiritual muscle to build divine testimony-castle.
I praise You, Lord, as I wait for Your coming…
…Reminder for faithful service and Gospel-proclaiming
…Inspiration for me to labor well … nonchalant of personal gains’ claiming
…Excitement of eternal fellowship so truly heart-warming.
I praise You, Lord as I acquiesce to Your will…
…Perfect in its entirety that You want me to fulfill
…Holy in every angle where You direct me to keep still
…Blessed in each aspect which moves me to reach sacrifice’ hill.
*Psalm 111:1 ... I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
