Week 3 Why am I here? Day 12

Part of loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength is offering Him our praise.  Read Psalm 145 through several times.  Read it once to get an understanding, read it again to let it sink in.  Read it a third time, this time read it outloud and give it to God as your offering of praise to Him.

Now write your  own "Psalm" to God praising Him for who He is and what He has done in and through you.

    God is so GOOD.
    God take my life!
    God has worked through my life in amazing ways. He is the ultimate comforter and he is there when you cry out to him. He hears whisper and every thought. He is there under all circumstances. God is amazing and He knows just what i need. He provides me with what i need to keep going on. God is good. God brought me to crossroads and he brought amazing people into my life. Praise God for he blesses us with so many gifts. All he world will sing his praise for He is God! God works in amazing ways and in everything we do, we should thank God for his blessings and for his presence in our lives.

  3. Praise the Lord
    For His Grace
    For His Mercy
    For His Kindness
    Praise the Lord
    For the beauty of His creation
    For the use of the lowly
    For His appearance in the unexpected
    Praise the Lord
    For the gift of work
    For the gift of play
    For the gift of rest
    Praise the Lord
    My heart thumps out of my chest
    I cannot type fast enough
    My mind cannot find the words
    Praise the Lord
    Birds praise in their song
    Clouds with their movement and mystery
    Men with a sacrificial life
    Praise the Lord
    For those who know Him and praise along aside
    For those who don't know Him and long for something praise-worthy in their lives
    For the next generation to know of His amazing power & relentless grace
    Praise the Lord
    Praise the Lord
    Praise the Lord

  4. Glory Halelujah
    Lift the praises of the Lord to the heavens
    Loud enough so he may hear them,
    And feel joy with the knowledge that we willingly humble ourselves before his feet
    Glory Halelujah
    Lift the praises of the Lord to the heavens
    For he is the one true God, the one true faith
    And is the only one worthy of the praise we give him, and deserves so much more than that
    Glory Halelujah
    Lift the praises of the Lord to the heavens
    For he is a great God ho has accomplished such amazing things that we can never so much as comprehend the awesomeness of his glory
    Glory Halelujah
    Lift the praises of the Lord to the heavens
    For he is a God filled with unending love
    who knows nothing but affection for those in need and even those that defy his name
    Glory Halelujah
    Lift the praises of the Lord to the heavens
    So those who do not of know him or his righteousness may hear you and flock to him and be forgiven in the presence of his grace
    Glory Halelujah
    Lift the praises of the Lord to the heavens
    So that those who oppose him may cower in fear
    at the knowledge that the citizens of his kingdom have defeated them then, now, and forever
    Glory Halelujah

  9. Lord I Honor You,
    Lord I Praise You,
    Lord I Lift Your name on High.
    Lord You are the King,
    of all Kings,
    and I give my life,
    up to you.
    Lord You always know,
    the right hour,
    the right minute,
    the right second.
    To do what needs to be done,
    for me,
    for him,
    for her.
    Lord you are so kind,
    so giving,
    that you would give your only son,
    to die upon a cross,
    for the sins of man.
    Lord I Honor You,
    Lord I Praise You,
    Lord I Lift Your name on High.

  10. God you are amazing
    In me you start a fire blazing
    All I want to do
    Is reach out and touch you
    But its not the time for this
    I’m not ready, I’m still amiss
    Who am I to receive your glory
    Not fit to call you God, Lord, or He
    Yet you always find me
    Even when I’m not being like me
    I could be in the darkest place
    And you’d still see my face
    You know where I’ve been and what I’ve said
    You even know the thoughts in my head
    Looking at my life, not deserving saving
    All around me these walls are caving
    But the fact that you never turn away
    Is enough to drive me to say
    You’re my God, Lord, beginning and end
    My alpha and omega, my abba, my best friend
    Your plan for me I’ll never understand
    Somehow I fit into your mission at hand
    And I’ll probably never comprehend why
    But now I realize, that I need is to try
    To live my life according to your book
    No longer do I wish to be a crook
