MIGHTY DAVID PRAISED AND DANCED BEFORE GOD (SAMUEL 6:14-16)
Mighty David praised and danced before God
David was a high stepper
A toe tapper
Man did He love God
Mighty David praised and danced before God
Mighty David praised and danced before God
And David danced before the Lord
And David danced before the Lord
Step, step O’ Hallelujah
Step, step O’ Hallelujah
Wearing His priestly garment;
David brought up shouts of joy
As he praised and dance
The people of Israel join in dance
Singing Hallelujah
Leaping and dancing before the Lord
David blessed the people
Fed them tween dances bread, cakes of dates and raisins
He just kept on praising
David danced before God

quietly praised
my soul is quiet
my vessel too
my soul is quiet and waits for God alone
my soul is quiet
for my Father waits for me alone
my soul is quiet and waits for God alone
My hope comes, hope comes from Him Always
for my Father waits for me alone
my vessel too
My hope comes, hope comes from Him Always

Madah: Highest Be Praised
Yes, praise be to the Highest,
Yes, praise be to the Highest above them all,
Praise be true to the king that rule,
Praise be the realm his people's home,
Praise be the milestone a king and his throne,
Yes, praise be to the Highest,
Yes, praise be to the Highest above them all,
Praise be an empire, built by love's desire,
Praise be passing looks of history books,
Praise be an emperor empire's virtuous measurer,
Yes, praise be to the Highest,
Yes, praise be to the Highest above them all,
Praise be to our Lord of the Most High!

God be praised and thanked for His wondrous grace
Surely awesome with His marvelous love
Always available to match His might.
Upon Him do I brace up my work’s might
While excelling as steward of His grace
Faithful in sharing His Gospel of love.
Always, I beseech His unfailing love
To strengthen my faith against weary might
For empowered service with fruits of grace.
Triumphant, I yield to God by His grace, love and might*!
*1Timothy 1:14 “…The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.”

For Her Singing Aretha Is Praised
We remember how she had been raised;
For her spirit was praised and praised;
Wanted and desired;
Us inspired,
And for great singing Aretha is crazed.

Your arms are getting tired
Keep them pointed toward the skies
I know you've been hurting
Jesus is still yet by your side
You're sadden thinking your not deserving
Keep yourself praised high
Stop feeling sorry for yourself
God will separate those fears
And place them on a shelf
Come now dry those tears
You're sadden thinking your not deserving
Keep yourself praised high

Praised and Jesus Raised
On in fields we saw that sheep had grazed,
And then from the dead Jesus was raised;
Did occur;
Happy were;
We would thank God and Him we praised.
Tomorrow is Assencion.

We no longer immolate babes on Moloch’s hideous altar.
May Heaven be thanked.
We no longer burn heretics at the stake.
May Heaven be praised
We no longer stone men and women for committing adultery.
Thank Heavens for that!
We no longer subject defendants to trial by ordeal.
We no longer engage in witch hunts.
We no longer hang men for stealing sheep
We no longer make children work in coal mines.
We no longer keep slaves.
For all these things may the Heavens be thanked.
Thus many forms of cruelty and oppression have been abolished, and yet
Today’s evils, the real whoppers, are hermetically concealed behind white walls and bland, sincere faces.
To what strange deity, utility, necessity, security are we prepared to immolate not only ourselves, noble suicides, but our children, our babes, our future.
Whom would we then have to thank?

Was Praised and Eulogized
When I had awakened and did yawn
Dream that existed was now gone
And it contained my desire to be
President of America home of the free.
If President what would I do first
Make acceptance speech well rehearsed
Present to people each goal I had
Make happy and ensure none were sad.
After I spoke my much anxiety grew
Prayed to God who made sure I knew
Must be prepared to fulfil each need
Protect them and not into danger lead.
Met my goals and God was sure to thank
And back into another sleep I soon sank
Died and went to heaven when I realized
People had praised me and was eulogized.

When I was once broken in spirit and full of sorrow
I had no thoughts of sunshine for my tomorrow
I remember those lonely and cold days and night
After nine years of a beaten body and broken spirit; but, at the end of this darkness I seen light
It was no more living in fear and despair
Father God no matter what I was going through I knew you were here
Your words promised me, “That you will never leave me or forsake me”
For three years I’ve been totally healed and free
In all those years of a nightmare not once did I quit and complain
I just kept my faith and constantly called on the Lord’s name
You said if my faith was small as a mustard seed
You would be there to heal me and supply all my needs
After being on dialysis for so long it taught me how to believe and fight
See when you know and trust in Jesus there is healing as a reward for your plight
January 10, 2015, it has been three glorious years and five blessed days
My sweet and loving Jesus your, “WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!”

This poem is dedicated to someone really special in my life.
Her eyes got me mesmerized.
And her face left me dazed.
she was all sheer beauty, beauty to be praised.
She was perhaps an angel in garb of a girl,
as precious as diamond,as pretty as pearl
her voice is as melodious as Santana's guitar
I can hear her although she is away and far.
this Separation has indeed given me enough pain
but i can still feel your presence whenever it rains
I know our relationship will never be the same
but girl u are sheer beauty and u shall be praised
