Shout for Joy to the Lord

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. (Psalm 100)

My blessed child, I have heard your prayer. I woke you with a song in your heart today. Listen to the song and respond in praise. Before you put your feet on the floor, shout for joy! I AM. I created you; you are mine. I am good. Enter my presence with thanksgiving. I have given you the breath of life, and I sustain your life every day. I alone am the source of your strength and joy. You can do all things today through Me. I am faithful to all generations. My love endures throughout eternity. Sing a new song of praise to me today.

Open your eyes, O child of the King

Open your heart and let praises ring

Open your ears to hear His sweet voice

Open your mouth and make joyful noise

 

 

In the wee hours of morning before you rise

When you lie in bed and open your eyes

Your heart releases a sweet song of praise

That reminds you who authors all of your days

 

 

With thankful heart, shout for joy to the Lord

Before you roll over and put feet to the floor

Remember who made you and to whom you belong

Praise Him again with the words of this song

 

 

Submit this new day to the Lord of the earth

The One who designed you and gave you His worth

Let Him lead you today on the path He has willed

And see how much joy in your heart He has filled

 

 

When morning turns the corner into afternoon

Remember the One who hung sun and moon

With thankful heart, shout for joy to the King

Let the words of this song burst forth as you sing

 

 

As the sun sets down the runway of day

Turn your heart to the One to whom you do pray

And thank him profoundly for the gift of this song

That gave you a way to praise him the day long

 

 

And when you climb into bed and try to sleep tight

Give thanks to the One who brings morning light

For this day He did give you along with a story

Shout for joy to the Lord, the King of all glory

Darlene Zschech – Shout to the Lord – Lyrics

 

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

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

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

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

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

Nothing compares to the promise I have in You

Nothing compares to the promise I have in You

The Things of Earth

On 02-18-15

Good morning, Lord

I feel so out of touch with you because I have not met with you much lately. Lord, please forgive me. There is no good excuse, no matter what. Material possessions have taken up my time, just as you warned me about. Lord, thanks for waking me up early today, so I could spend time with you. I dedicate this poem to you.

The Things of Earth–

I drift away from the Lord of me

Tossed about as a wave on the sea

Bouncing along the angry surf

Pulled away by the things of earth.

My possessions take many hours away

From spending time with Him each day

Zapping me of all my life

Leaving me with stress and strife.

When all I really need is love

From my heavenly Lord above

He has the power to satisfy

Like nothing else that I could buy.

And when I’m done with things to do

I seek my Lord for a minute or two

He looks with love upon my face

And reminds me of His perfect grace.

He’s waited patiently all day

For me to wander o’er His way

And listen to His words so dear

Telling me to have no fear.

He whispers words of love and peace

He holds the key to my release

From things that hold me close to earth

Which really have no heavenly worth.

So now I vow upon a whim

To set aside some time for Him

My worship is for God alone

Not for “things” that I have known.

And now my story has reached its end

May I suggest one thing, my friend?

Put your earthly things aside

In the Lord’s presence do abide.
