PRAISE IS AWAITING YOU!

It is right that we should offer praise;

We are the recipients of so much grace!

All too often, we take blessings for granted;

And the praise of God is sadly neglected.

 

It is wise to learn from nature’s response;

The living plants sing in correspondence.

Hills and valleys come alive in recognition;

God has blessed and has given provision.

 

Our hearts must recognize God’s blessings;

Our souls must offer prayers of thanksgiving.

Praise ought to be given spontaneously;

Happy songs of joy must arise gratefully.

 

The element of praise may have an extension;

Songs of praise can be planned with affection.

The LORD’s name must be praised at all times;

The dead would not be able to offer a chime!
