EXPOSITION 

Nothing compares to the power of praise (Psa. 67:6). In the book of Psalm, praising and acknowledging God take centre stage. It is clear that God desires His people to recognise His majesty and power. We are designed to praise, serve and acknowledge Him for who He is and what He does. To do otherwise is to miss the purpose of our existence (cf Rev. 4:11). The psalmist envisions all nations praising God, acknowledging His righteous reign and seeking His guidance. This universal scope of God's blessings reveals a divine plan for us all. He portrays God as the ultimate Source of joy and guidance. This joy isn't fleeting but rooted in God's eternal nature, accessible through praise

Praise brings about abundant divine blessings. Knowing our purpose to praise God, we should adopt this habit to experience His miracles in our lives (cf. 2 Chro. 20:21-23; Acts 16:25). Embrace the wonder of praise and witness its transformative power in your life. One of the peculiar ways we can praise God is to sincerely show our dancing steps as the Psalmist did, even as today is International Dance Day

1. Praise the King of Glory, 

    He is God alone:

    Praise Him for the wonders, 

    He to us hath shown;

    For His promised presence, 

    All the pilgrim way,

    For the flaming pillar, 

    And the cloud by day.

Chorus:

    Praise …Him, shining angels,

    Strike …Your harps of gold,

    All ….His hosts adore Him,

    Who….His face behold;

    Through …His great dominion.

    While …the ages roll

    All His works shall praise Him

    All His works shall praise Him

    Bless the Lord, my soul!.

 

2. Praise Him for redemption, free to every soul;

    Praise Him for the Fountain that can make us whole;

    For His gifts of Kindness and His loving care,

    For the blest assurance that He answers prayer.

3. Praise Him for the trials sent as cords of love

    Binding us more closely to the things above;

    For the faith that conquers, hope that naught can dim,

    For the land where loved ones gather unto Him.

Amen.
