Praise God

[Criada]

There's a lot going on here at the moment, and I think it would be good to join together and remember why we are really here. It's all about God - His love and grace and faithfulness have brought us together.
So - twould be good to have somewhere to just focus on praising Him for who He is, whatever is happening around us!

Psalm 100
1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.

3 Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his [a] ;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.


Exodus 15:2
The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him.


Please post your favourite scriptures, praise songs etc.

Awesome idea sister!!!!

Psalm 63:1-8

O God, You are my God,
earnestly I seek You;
my soul thirsts for You,
my body longs for You,
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water.

2 I have seen You in the sanctuary
and beheld Your power and Your glory.

3 Because Your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify You.

4 I will praise You as long as I live,
and in Your name I will lift up my hands.

5 My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise You.

6 On my bed I remember You;
I think of You through the watches of the night.

7 Because You are my help,
I sing in the shadow of Your wings.

8 My soul clings to You;
Your right hand upholds me.

It's all about You Lord.

 

[Nicki4Christ]

Pslam 145

1 I will praise you, my God and King,
and bless your name forever and ever.
2 I will bless you every day,
and I will praise you forever
3 Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! His greatness is beyond discovery!
4 Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts
5 They will speak on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles
6 Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue; I will proclaim your greatness
7 Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness; they will sing with joy of your righteousness

My Jesus, My Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship You

(Chorus)
Shout to the Lord, all the earth
Let us sing. Power and majesty, praise to the King.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in
YOU!

Thank You for the cross, Lord
Thank You for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

Thank You for this love, Lord
Thank You for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

I lift you high and bow down low
How high can You be?
How low can I go?
I lift You high and bow down low
How high can You be?
How low can I go?
You must increase I must decrease, Lord
I'll bow down and You will be adored

I lift you high and bow down low
How high can You be?
How low can I go?
I lift You high and bow down low
How high can You be?
How low can I go?
You must increase I must decrease, Lord
I'll bow down and You will be adored...

[Criada]

Blessed be Your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise
And when the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the worlds all as it should be
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise
And when the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.

Ephesians 1:
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace 8that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

When the music fades, all is stripped away,
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song,
For a song in itself,
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within,
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus

I'm sorry, Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus

King of endless worth, no one could express,
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is Yours,
Every single breath

~Matt Redman

 

[LivingLifeHisWay]

I know that You are strong
I know You’re more than able
To save me from whatever
Ever comes my way
I know You are a healer
I know You can deliver
I know that You can rescue me

But even when I cannot see Your hand
When You move in a way
That I would not have planned
Still I will worship You

I will worship You, in the midnight hour
I will worship You, when I'm in the fire
I will worship You, when all hope seems gone
I will stand and proclaim that You are my God
I will worship You.

 

[LivingLifeHisWay]

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

~Mercy Me

All My Praise

​

I will follow You through green pastures
And sing hallelujah to Your Name
I will follow You through dark disaster
And sing hallelujah through the pain
And even in the shadow of death
I will praise You
And even in the valley I will say​

Holy, my God
You are worthy of all my praise
Holy, my God
You are worthy of all my praise​

You are seated on Your throne in heaven
And You see all of us down here
And You have promised You will not abandon
So I shall not fear​

And even in the shadow of death
I will praise You
And even in the valley I will say​

Holy, my God
You are worthy of all my praise
Holy, my God
You are worthy of all my praise​

You made every star
And You taught it how to shine
You knew my name before there was time
And all this was just part of Your glorious design
Hallelujah, Hallelujah​

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Chorus 1
My chains are gone I've been set free
My God my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love amazing grace

Verse 1
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

Verse 2
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Verse 3
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

Verse 4
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

 

[Criada]

Habakkuk 3
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,

18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.

 

[Criada]

Jesus, Lord of Heaven,
I did not deserve
the grace that You have given
and the promise of Your word.

Lord, I stand in wonder
of the sacrifice You made
with mercy beyond measure.
My debt You freely paid.

Your love is deeper than the cross,
higher than the heavens,
reaches beyon the stars in the sky.

Jesus, Your love has no bounds
