Psalms
The Book of Psalms is the hymn book and prayer book of the bible. It is important
that we sing and say praises to God when we pray.
When we pray we can find it hard to think of the words to say when praising a God who
is so big, mighty, powerful, glorious and holy. It can be helpful to read one of the psalms in praise to God.
Psalms 63 v1-5
O God you are my God, and I long for you.
My whole being desires you;
like a dry, worn-out and waterless land,
my soul is thirsty for you.
Let me see you in the sanctuary;
Let me see how mighty and glorious you are.
You constant love is better than life itself,
and so I want to praise you.
I will give thanks as long as I live;
I will raise my hands to you in prayer.
My soul will feast and be satisfied,
and I will sing glad songs of praise to you.
We can also praise God in our prayers with words from modern songs.
Every time I gaze upon the power of the sea,
I marvel at the God who made it all.
When mighty waves, come thunder down,
Upon the solid rock,
I can almost hear creation call!
Everything about you Lord is wonderful,
I marvel at the works of your hands,
And I will sing and shout it out, you're wonderful!
All I can do is stand and worship you!
Every time I gaze upon the horror of the Cross,
I marvel at the God who took it all,
His body broke, his blood was shed,
The punishment he bore,
Now I hear His children big and small, singing...
Everything about you Lord is wonderful,
I marvel at the works of your hands,
And I will sing and shout it out, you're wonderful!
All I can do is stand and worship you!
Every time I gaze upon the beauty of the Lord,
I marvel at the God that I adore,
Such majesty and righteousness,
Love that knows know bounds,
I will praise his name for evermore, singing...
Everything about you Lord is wonderful,
I marvel at the works of your hands,
And I will sing and shout it out, you're wonderful!
All I can do is stand and worship you!
