| Psalm 150-Praise the Lord | | Praise the Lord of the morning When the sun rises from its sleep Praise the Lord for His excellent greatness For His beauty makes me weep
Praise the Lord when the darkness falls And the moon rises high above Praise the Lord for His majestic glory And His everlasting love
Praise the Lord in the winter When the snow falls on the ground Praise the Lord for His glorious presence When we stand upon holy ground
Praise the Lord of the springtime When the blossoms on the tree Praise the Lord for His holiness And for the Blood that set us free
Praise the Lord of the summer When the days are warm and long Praise the Lord for His magnificent splendor And the saints shall sing a new song
Praise the Lord of the Autumn When the leaves fall to the ground Praise the Lord for His faithfulness And that His grace abounds
Praise the Lord when your happy And theres a smile upon your face Praise the Lord for His mercy And for His saving grace
Praise the Lord when youre in despair And your pierced by a fiery dart Praise the Lord for His loving kindness That restores your broken heart
Praise the Lord with your last breath As you lie upon your bed Praise the Lord for His promises To raise you from the dead
Praise the Lord for all eternity As you gather around His throne Praise the Lord for His incredible beauty As you worship Him alone
Let trumpet, harp and timbrel praise And dance before the King Let all with breath praise the Lord And with their voices sing
Hallelujah to the King of Kings We worship and bow down We sing to you forever more And we will crown Him with many crowns |

Isaac Watts would agree!

| Re: | | I agree!
Frank, I have been very blessed by your poems. In fact, I recently tried to use Google in an effort to search for some of them (but I only found a few). Perhaps you should gather them together in one place (or book)?
Thanks again for sharing! _________________ Christopher

| Re: | | hi, what a wonderful talent God has given you . your poems are wonderful. 45 years ago , while at loyola in n.o. i roomed with a jesuit brother(electician) from a famous n. o. family. he had a terrible spirit about him (dogs would growl or babies would cry when he entered)he got wonerfully saved and filled with the Spirit and one night he came home and told me that the flamingos in the zoo accross the street were praising the Lord. i told him he was nuts and he asked me to call my fiancee(head res. of the girls dorm) and we could go see. we went and when we were about 50 yards away from the pond where 40 or so flamingos were still.he whispered to them and asked them to praise the Lord. they all got up and formed a line one behind the other and spread their wings and marched honking around the pond.you could hear other animalsroaring and bleating .let everything that has breathe praise the Lord.jimp |

| Re: | | Wow -- this is fantastic! My wife and I read through the Book of Psalms at least once per year. Lately, we have also been reading through many of the hymns found in an old hymn book that we have. She is impressed by the hunger and passion for Jesus that she says "gushes" from many of them.
When I first met the Lord, I had a large binder in which I kept a daily journal that was mostly comprised of poems and songs for about about the Lord. When I was going through different things, I would refer back to those things that I wrote and they would often "trigger" an emotion in my heart (often reminding me of what I felt when I wrote it).
When our family moved during high school, my binder came up missing. I was very sad at having lost so many of those things that I wrote.
I am glad that you have safeguarded these words and gathered them together in a collection with which to share. This would make a great addition in our little library for us to read. _________________ Christopher

| Re: | | Thank you Chris,
How awesome that you and your wife read through the book of Psalms every year. How awesome to have a wife to share the word and pray together. As you may or may not know, my own wife of 31 years is not saved so when I hear about husbands and wives praying and reading together, I think about how fortunate and blessed Christians couples are to be able to do this. Please feel free to share any poem brother, I never really liked the idea of a book for sale, that is why I have made the poems available for free as well. Needless to say I have not made any money from this book and have given away more books than have sold :)................bro Frank
ps If a man wanted to make the New York Times best seller list, a book of poems would not be the way to go :) |
