Sunday Praise (69) 12/29/19

Sunday Praise (69) 12/29/19. by me.

You’re my defense and refuge,
My Deliverer and my shield,
In whom I trust in good and bad,
My eyes are fixed on You, Lord.

I will sing a new song
To You, King of kings,
You’re giver of salvation,
Rescuer and Redeemer.

How blessed is the one
Who fears You, Creator,
Who obeys You, Master,
Who loves You, Father!

Exalt Your name today,
Mighty God and King,
I’ll bless You every day,
You’re worthy all blessings.

Everlasting God, You are great,
You’re worthy of all the glory,
Your greatness is unsearchable,
Your majesty is like no other.

Gracious and merciful,
Patient and longsuffering,
Righteous in all Your ways,
Holy are You, God Almighty.

God, You are near to all
Who call upon You in truth.
Those who obey You
Are blessed by You.

May all creation praise You,
The work of Your hands glorify You,
You sustain everything,
It’s all for Your glory.

My soul will praise You
For all that You’ve done,
I know that You will do
What is right all the time.

You are King of kings,
You are Lord of lords,
You will reign forever,
Sovereign over everything.

I will praise You
For it is good,
It is pleasant
For mind and soul.

May all creation glorify
You who alone deserves it.
May all that has breath
Praise You, God Almighty.

May my will be in Your law
And my heart in Your word.
May I faithfully daily walk
On the narrow road, Lord.

You heal the broken-hearted,
You mend their deep wounds,
You are the Great Physician,
You remake, rebuild, restore.

You take pleasure in
Those who fear You,
In those that hope
In Your mercy, Lord.

We’re still celebrating
The birth of Jesus Christ,
Praising You for the Savior,
Your Son, the Lamb of God.

Glory to You in the highest,
Peace on this great Earth,
Good will to men and women,
Joy in many hearts and souls.

Now all the faithful on earth
Rejoice at Your Good News,
God Incarnate, living and true,
Doing what only You can do

Oh, the simple and the wise
Will seek You and will find You,
You save many from demise,
You are holy, living and true.

You are the desire of nations,
Savior of condemned sinners,
The only hope for this world
Dying in sin, lost in darkness.

My heart will praise You
For the Savior born to die
On the Cross to save me
From sin, Hell, condemnation.

This year has come to an end,
You’ve been with me every month,
Every week and every day,
Every hour, minute, second.

In the new year, Father,
Help me grow in love, faith,
Help me to obey You better,
I desire to obey Your will.

Time changes faces, places,
You change souls and hearts,
You can save even the worst,
You can give what we all need.

Now is winter, rainy, cold,
But I know spring will return,
Blooming, growing, thriving,
Seasons change in order.

I will praise You for Your love,
For Your goodness, God above,
I will glorify You, my King,
To You my soul will sing.

You hear me when I call,
You answer my prayers,
I lie down and sleep and awake
Because You protect me, Lord.

Sunday Praise (68) 12/22/19

Sunday Praise (68) 12/22/19. by me.

The celebration continues,
We remember the birth of Christ
On Christmas He was born for us,
A King, a Savior for all humankind.

What a wonderful day
When the Savior was born,
In the town of Bethlehem
In a manger, Son of Mary.

God Incarnate, the Word made flesh,
An event like no other in history,
Christ came to save the lost,
Born to die for sinners, to rise again.

What a Child He was, few knew,
The angels sang “glory to God,”
Wise men and shepherds came
To bow to Him and bring Him gifts.

Joy to the world then and now,
The Lord has come to save us
From Satan’s power, from sin,
You are the Savior of the world.

Wonderful Counselor, King,
Everlasting Father, Lord,
Ancient of days, Savior,
Sovereign over everything.

How blessed and happy
I am to be Your child,
Given hope and new life,
Joy in heart that won’t die.

I will bless You, Lord,
For You alone are holy,
Righteous, living, true,
Right is all that You do.

Now is the time
To praise You,
In all circumstances,
In all situations.

At all times
You are worthy
To be praised,
To be glorified.

It is good to thank You
For all that You do,
It is pleasant to be
One of Your redeemed.

It is an honor
To be Your child,
Redeemed by Christ,
Given everlasting life.

Your name is higher
Than any other name,
There is no other God,
No one like You, Lord.

Your mercy endures forever,
Your love is like no other,
Your grace is a precious gift,
You are holy, You are perfect.

You seek the lost,
Call them to Yourself,
Bring them to repentance,
Give them new life.

You know their pain,
You know their scars,
You know their needs,
You know everything.

You care the most,
You know all the ways
That lead people astray,
You’re the only true Way.

For those lost and alone
You provide all they need.
For those without hope
You shine Your light daily.

You speak, calling the lost
To the foot of the Cross,
Calling them to surrender,
Calling them to Yourself.

Your love has taken hold,
You’ve changed my life,
You have saved me, Lord,
I am Yours forevermore.

I will call upon Your name
In the darkest of times
And I know You’ll hear me
And You’ll answer me, God.

You are my refuge,
You are my portion
In the land of the living,
You’re my God forever.

I fix my eyes upon You, Christ,
In You I put my trust and hope,
You are with me always, my God,
You won’t leave my soul destitute.

If I’m on the wrong way
Bring me back to Yours.
Lead me in the way everlasting,
Guide me every step, Master.

You’re the one who gave me
My life, everything that I have.
I will praise You, dear Father,
Lift Your high above all others.

You’re my Creator, Sustainer,
Provider, Redeemer, Savior,
Prince of Peace, Sovereign,
Heavenly Father, Emmanuel.

What joy is there in life
If You are not that joy?
What hope can we have
If You are not our hope?

You’re our only true hope,
You’re our only true joy,
You are the living and true God,
There is no other, never will be.

I will thank You for Your mercy
And praise You for Your grace
God, I will give You all the glory
For of it all You alone are worthy.

Sunday Praise (67) 12/15/19

Sunday Praise (67) 12/15/19. by me.

Every new day is a gift
From You, God Almighty.
On this day I will praise
You for all that You do.

I have seen Your deeds,
I have seen Your salvation,
You have changed my heart,
You have changed my life.

You saved me from Hell,
From sin and damned self,
You have rebirthed me,
Your Spirit indwells me.

I thank You for the opportunity
To be in Your house, Lord,
To praise You for Your mercy,
To praise You for salvation.

I lift up my eyes to You,
My help comes from You,
I look to You for mercy,
You are my Creator, God.

Were You not with me,
I would have perished
Long ago and all alone
But You saved me, Abba.

Blessed are You, Lord,
You save us from enemies,
Kept us out of their hands,
Kept us from becoming prey.

I trust in You, God,
I will not be moved,
You are my fortress,
You are my refuge.

You always do good,
You always do right,
You are forever true,
You are forever holy.

You have do much
For all people, Creator,
All should praise You
For Your goodness.

Those who sow with tears
Will later reap with joy,
Those who carry with weeping
Will bring harvest with rejoicing.

If You’re not the foundation,
Then in vain do people build.
In vain are things undertaken
If Your blessing is not on them.

Blessed is one who fears You
And walks in Your ways, Lord.
To be blessed by You, God,
Is the best kind of blessing.

My enemies have not destroyed me
For You are always with me, Father.
In all my trials and troubles, even now,
You’re here with me, Jesus, Emmanuel.

You hear me when I call
And pick me up when I fall,
You guide me on Your way
And You lead me every day.

I wait for You, Lord,
I trust in Your word,
You are my hope,
You are my joy.

It is good to trust You,
Put my hope in You,
Give my life to You,
To forever serve You.

My heart has been prepared
To be Your dwelling place,
My body is Your temple,
My life is in Your hands.

Clothed in Christ’s righteousness
I will enter Your presence, Lord,
I will rejoice in You, my Savior,
And glorify You, God, forever.

I will rejoice in You
For Your great gift,
Your Son born to save
Sinners from damnation.

In this holiday season
May more people see
Their need for a Savior,
Their need of You, Lord.

On a silent night was born
Jesus Christ the Savior
In the town of Bethlehem,
Our only hope, God Incarnate.

Wise men followed a star
To where Jesus lay that night,
They brought gifts to Him,
Francincense, gold, and myrrh.

Shepherds came to bow
To the long-expected Savior,
The Deliver of His people,
The true King of kings, You.

Now all can rejoice
For the Savior is born
To save all the lost,
To give all new life.

Those who will hear
And answer Your call,
Who will surrender to You,
Those You will save, Lord.

You call all to repentance,
You want all to know You,
You want to give new life,
You can and do save, God.

You so loved the world, Lord,
That You sent Your only begotten Son,
Whoever believes in Him won’t perish
But will have everlasting life.
