From Psalm 146:1-2: “Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God all my life long.”
Sunrise filling eastern sky
Singing praises to God’s love
Trusting in His divine Word
Hope breathes form heavens above
New day faithfully arrives
Reigning forever with grace
Nourishing with righteousness
Hope breathes from Savior’s birthplace
Prophecy’s promises true
Holding mercy in His hands
Sending His Son in man’s place
Hope breathes from Father’s heartland
Faith pursues with endurance
Approaching eternal light
Witnessing redemption’s peace
Hope breathes from Christ’s risen flight
Savior’s precious blood now shed
Granting forgiveness of sins
Calling all to walk with Him
Hope breathes from His love within
From 1 Timothy 6:12: “Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
