From Nehemiah 9:6:  “And Ezra said, ‘You are the Lord, You alone; You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them.  To all of them You give life, and the host of heaven worships You.'”

Viewing Calvary’s cross

Harboring Savior’s blood

Marking enemy’s loss

Springing forth, mercy’s bud

 

Filling lungs with praises

Singing to most high God

Tasting life He raises

Witnessing grace now thawed

 

Making each joyful sound

Worshipping with gladness

Sending each, Heaven bound

Breathing without sadness

 

Traveling oceans deep

Guiding from heavens’ stars

Leading all wayward sheep

Knowing Christ never far

 

Entering Shepherd’s gate

Giving thanks in God’s name

Feeling sin’s empty weight

Trusting redemption’s claim

 

From Psalm 100:1-2:  “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.  Serve the Lord with gladness; come into His presence with singing.”
